Something that annoys me is someone that says ''Its always in the last place you look!'' No duh. Why do people have to be so thick? I mean do these people have dung for brains or what?

Ugh! I haven't had Maccas for ages. It makes me feel all gaaaarrrgggh after I eat it, even though now they have "healthy vegetarian options".
Another thing that really annoys me are really petty people. In my course we have like 2-3 weeks' of a topic (e.g. business law, family law, ethics etc.) and then we do a written evaluation of the subject and what we like and stuff and write down suggestions anonymously. I found out that some of the people in my course were using the evaluation sheet to complain about other people in the class! Seriously, I'm like one of the youngest people in my class and the age range goes up to 50+, so it really surprises me that people are complaining about other students coming in late, talking too loud, typing too loud on their computers () and stuff like that! Seriously, that just means our (valid) comments get lost amongst all these petty stupid ones, and the staff who read these laugh at us because we're so stupid as a class. Where is the honour among thieves?

I absolutley HATE it when these idiots pick up a banged out old Rover Metro, spray paint it, put on some rally vinyls, stick on cheap wheel trims, put something in their exhausts to make their car engine's sound really loud then race the clapped out things up and down a road like their Ferraris......although I think they only do that sorta thing here in England (we have a real obssession with body kit, spoilers and all that here).....just out of interest what cars do you guys drive?

I know how you feel Wiz. We have those dufos here too. They normally come out at around 3 in the afternono(I think they feel the sun's heat will give them more energy or something ) and rave around the streets, making a lot of noise.
There's also a TV channel here and on certain days it is completely dedicated to seeing these made-a-new cars, and watch 'em race. I don't find that fun at all. Seriously, the F1 is sooo much more interesting! Even V-Rally or something similar is better.
And it's coming to mind just now, I hate it when you're like waiting at the bus stop, or just walking in the street, and someone whistles at you or shouts from their car(just like the ones mentioned above). Do they think I'm a whistle-trained-dog or something?

One thing that's getting on my nerves at the moment - football. Or the importance people over here give to football. It seems it's more important then their own lives, than politics, than their families. It seems it's the only thing that rules our country. The Government owes millions to the state, but what do we do? Build new stadiums for Euro 2004 and sink even more in debt. And then, when a team wins, citizens hang flags and scarves on their balconies and play the team's anthem out loud for the whole street to hear. How ridiculous is that? How futile is that? It's okay to like football, it's okay to like any sport anyone wants to, but to take things to this extreme, to make noise all night just because one team one a friggin' match, it's too much. I think. It's only a game. It's not their own life that's at stake.

Football got on my nerves this week as well because of the idiots on the road while i was having a driving lesson. Also the fact that we won so the streets were crowded and noisy as more people are coming in than are actually living here. How can you type too loudly on a computor? What really irriatates me is that it is taking me ages to pass my driving test while my brother passed first time. When i take it again it will be my third go. Most of all this week it is the crazy frog tune which has now reached number one in the UK charts.

ARGH! Don't get me started on Crazy Frog. That thing is the ugliest and most annoying thing ever. I'm glad I've never heard it as a ringtone because if any of my friends had it I was have to slap them upside the head.
I don't know why people in my class complain about loud typing, I think it's the keys and how sticky/unsticky your keyboard is. But the people that complain are the people without computers, so go figure...

You don't have to hear it as a ringtone over here it is on every single advert usually about three or four times during the space of a two minute ad break. And it is now getting played a lot more now that it has reached number one in the uk charts. I'm not quite sure how it managed it. I hate sticky keyboards. Another thing which annoys me is that when i ask for a veggie option in the uni cafe they look at me as if i'm odd.

LOL, I love that ringtone....especially that movie, but maybe that's because my taste's rather unusual anyway...... And it's coming to mind just now, I hate it when you're like waiting at the bus stop, or just walking in the street, and someone whistles at you or shouts from their car(just like the ones mentioned above). Do they think I'm a whistle-trained-dog or something? LOL Herm, thats just typical of males......you live in Malta correct?

Guys are so annoying when they do that. stupid stupid guys. I had no idea guys everywhere could be that way; but then on the trip I got it in Nice and in Rome and some friends got it in Paris and Florence and stuff, so I figured that's a typical guy thing. Everywhere.

Sticky keyboards suck.
Another thing that really annoys me (and I was reminded of how much it ticks me off tonight ): when people walking behind you step on your heels. Absolutely hate it. And it's not like I walk slowly either.

People who can't seem to find trash cans. The ground may be a trash can in their homes, but not in public.
People with loud engines. Nobody really needs to hear you from a mile away.
People who don't throw their gun away. I really don't want to step in your chewed up gum.

I also find it annoying when you know someone is lying to you (or at least bending the truth) but they keep denying that they are, and you have no way to assert that they aren't telling the truth so you have to run with what they say!
