    Most other commuters on the tube who insist on standing next to you when there's clearly enough space elsewhere. I don't mind it if it's a cute girl though

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    The only things that really get on my nerves are people who invade your personal space, and people who are always late. I can't stand people touching my stuff. I'm not one of those people who leaves their phone on the table and doesn't care who looks at it, it's always on me. It's not even as if there's anything on there that I wouldn't show people. I'd happily show someone everything that was on my phone if they were so inclined, but I wouldn't let them touch it. With people being late, I don't mind as long as they have a good excuse and tell me. When someone turns up half an hour late without telling you and just says "oh I lost track of time" or something, it really pisses me off.

    Also, everyone and everything. The list is endless.

    SatNav that gives directions at very inapropriate times. Like saying "Turn left" half a mile before a turn in a 30mph zone. Or "keep left, then keep right" just as I've gone past the lane divider where I can't move left.

    Cyclists who go bombing through red lights at night with no lights and dark clothes.

    People who don't realise big, heavy vans have different speed limits, and don't realise that big, heavy vans are big and heavy.

    Having to unload over 100 boxes from a van by hand by myself because it turns out there's no one who can drive the forklift to unload the neatly packed pallets.

    If you ever experienced the mental cyclists in Cambridge it would not be hard to get angry!! If drivers did some of the things they did they would be banned from driving. If any of these retard cyclists try to mow me down on the pavement they will be getting an elbow to the mouth the annoying t**ts. They do not even ring their blooming bells. I really wish they introduced cycle licenses so they would have to learn some basic road and pavement skills!

    OTH,the cyclists in Copenhagen act much more civilised!!

    Depends how narrow the road is... But i find that slowing down doesn't usually make the road any larger

    So if you can pass at 3mph, then you can pass at 30mph...

    Obv it all depends on circumstances, like if the other driver is a complete idiot that doesn't know the width of their vehicle...

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    Another thing that annoys is when very tall people whinge at shorter people for walking "slowly" !! Of course longer strides has nothing to do with it!!

    I also cannot stand people who rush for the sake of it and end up screwing up things for no reason as a result.

    People who are purely inconsiderate... there's a difference between accidentally doing something minor once so often, than people who really don't care about anyone else but themselves! Need to get some perspective and lose the selfish manner in life

    Re: Things that wind you up (no matter how small)

    Drivers. People are idiots at the best of time, giving them a large chunk of metal to move around in at high speed in their control is never a good idea.

    Pedestrians. They walk slow, stop in the middle of a busy footpath to talk to someone, walk in a group of 4 taking up the entire pavement. Gah, people are idiots. e

    Trains. More specifically Northern Ireland Railways, you'd think they just discovered that leaves fall of trees in autumn this year with the amount of train delays due to 'leaf slippage'. Every year.

    The 'Men of War' server browser, after you refresh it, it jumps about for 3 or 4 minutes loading.
