Having a 20 minute meeting about what you are going to do at a presentation. Agree it all, then when you all go up on stage, someone says "Hey guys, why don't we do this instead? it'll be funny?."
No one wants to do this inappropriate thing and then everyone starts arguing on stage. And you are made to look unprofessional because someone didn't stick to the plan.

People who give themselves flash titles. i.e. "Hi I'm (name)'s agent" or "I'm (name)'s Manager".
No your not. You're her husband trying to get her a gig. Stop trying to make out you are some big shot west end producer, just cause you got her a slot in a local pub. Same goes for mum's getting their little girl a slot on an open mic night. No she is not getting her own dressing room. change in the toilet like everyone else. That's showbiz love!

[LOL, love the dressing room bit!]
August. August grinds my gears, its constantly the busiest. most expensive month of the year.
Working here is awful because of the festival, getting anywhere is impossible, Can't go near the pubs and cafes in town as prices rise to astronomical everywhere for even the smallest glasses of diet coke and a sandwich. Everyone suddently decided its a great time to visit us and everybodies birthday seems to be in August.
I would quite like to curl up and sleep - wake me up on the 1st September will you?

People (and my OH is one of the worst) who rock up at places with no cash, meaning you have to do the old 'hunt for cashpoint' game in an unfamiliar place before you can get on with what you are there for, a right waste of bloody time.
They know they are going somewhere new/unfamiliar so GET IT SORTED BEFOREHAND FFS!!!!!!

On quiz shows, let's say Pointless for example ... contestant gives an answer, everyone claps INCLUDING person who gave the answer. WTF is all that about - applauding yourself ?

Yet another idiot cyclist. There are passing places in country lanes for a reason and I use them myself when I am cycling. When I am in a car, I have to give way to other cars, other cars have to give way to me. Why is it that I have to sit behind you for the entire length of the country lane because you won't stop for just a second.
How would you like it if every time I went out in my car I was trying to do a personal best so took absolutely no notice of anyone or anything else so I could not a few seconds off my time. How about you try and stay alive and stop cycling like a dick.

Apologies, should read ... knock a few seconds off my time. Also should be a question mark after "... just a second".
Ok so now I hate the grammar police "again" for making me feel like I have to type this before they notice it.
I have to say, this forum is very therapeutic.

Boxes or tubs sold for flour and sugar holding less than the standard volume in which flour and sugar are sold. Every so often I get those rigid tubs containing whatever it is so as not to have paper packets that rip messing up my cupboard. A few weeks later when refilling them I discover they only contain 750g not 1kg so now I have a tub abd a scrappy end of packet littering the cupboard.

missing the word *the* - young lady on Farming today, used the phrase *from Farm*, over and over again - very annoying.
