Here's mine...

1. The assumption at my uni that you're only cool if you can guzzle barrels of alcohol and be at the ball.
2. Wasps.
3. Watching a film with Nick. Not only does he have Tourette's, he kept talking about the Gulf war and how he wasn't a racist. We were "watching" Bend It Like Beckham.
4. My brother Ben. I love him, but he does put pressure on me.
5. London. I'm travelling through there on Saturday and it always unerves me.
6. THAT Nokia ringtone. And anyone who thinks Dom Joly is funny AND orginal. (It was funny as a brief sketch in the Comedy lab)
7.Whacking my head on the cupboard.
8. Still without hot water.
9. Mendes!
10. Still girlfriendless.
: What sort of fairly trivial things do you find really irritating?

: Here are some of mine...

: 1) Double doors. One side is locked. I invariably try to open the one that is locked. On finding that side locked, I try to open the other door, but I push instead of pull (or vice versa).

: 2) When looking for cheap deck shoes (or similar) at the supermarket, why are there always multiple pairs available in every size apart from mine? Why is it that the more expensive version on the neighbouring rack are only available in my size?

: 3) The guy sat behind me in the examination room with the runny nose and no tissues (sniff -sniff -sniff -snort -sniff - gob -gurgle... on through 3 hours of an exam).) [this was many years ago]

: 4) Buying software which doesn't run (but should run) on my PC and having to use premium rate phone calls to the software company to get it sorted.

: 5) Telephone calls from people claiming that they are conducting an energy survey when they are really trying to sell me double glazing.

: 6) Any attempt to sell me timeshare property.

: 7) People who park their car so close to mine in a parking lot that I can't open the fucking door to get in.

: 8) People whbo drive their cars hunched over the steering wheel, peering myopically through the windscreen... (dangerous sods!)

: 9) One of my cats who only wants to sit on my lap when he is soaking wet and muddy.

: 10) One of my cats who always manages to get into my room (he walks through the wall, I swear!) and puts his big furry face next to mine and purrs until I wake up.

: 11) I find plenty of people irritating - but I'm not going into that here as I don't want to start a war.
