Slow Walkers

idiots who park behind a car at fuel bouser blocking the entrance when there are 6 others free
Smokers

People who drive in the right lane ~10 km/h under the speed limit
When a group of people decide that they want to stop in the middle of a narrow footpath and have a conversation and block everyone else around them

Yup, drivers turning directly into the far lane grind the shower outta my gears :P

And same as you guys, people walking slowly/standing in the middle of footpaths. Drives me nuts!

People who get basic English concepts wrong. For example - he's/his, they're/there/their, definitely (correct spelling).
People with massive egos.
People who think they're superior to others.
People who sit next to one of public transport when there are plenty of free seats.
People in general.  :P

Flies, mosquitoes, moths and most other bugs.
Birds that swoop.
Public transport.

Vinny

Slow walkers, smokers and Travis Cloke! :P

I think pretty much everyone on here can attest to the fact that this grinds my gears too ;)

When people spell it as "defiantly" it really pisses me off.

Ok, very off topic. But I need to rant. Big time.

I'm in a professional choir, like we do international tours and stuff. But our director can be harsh sometime

So the annoying thing... Ok, so all the parts are split in two, so Bass 1 and Bass 2, Tenor 1 and Tenor 2, etc. All the Bass 1s are new this year (including me), so naturally we'd be a bit wet behind the ears, especially when compared to the Bass 2s, some of them have been there for 4+ years.
Anyway, so there's this part in a tune that only the Basses sing, and I sing it fine, some of the other Bass 1's are a bit off, but does the director tell us to fix the notes? Give us a chance? No, he gives the part to Bass2s only.

He did that to us TWICE. Ugh, pardon the French, but what a flowering tosspot.
