    Grown men and women talking like bairns. Sleeps, squads & back in the day are just three words or phrases that wind me up.
    Also as this is a football forum, calling Oakwell Grove Street!

    Not something I'm trying to overcome, as it's a real problem and scourge on our society and needs solving, but people who can't put trolleys away correctly in a supermarket car park.

    You know them, the people who take their trolley to the shelter in the middle of the car park, and just fling it in. They don't bother slotting it into the one in front. Before you know it, the shelter is full, and there's only 12 trolleys in there.

    And we're not just talking big trolleys. Little trolleys, disability trolleys, one child, two child, and even a flat bed b&q one in a tesco!!!!

    I once called someone out on it in an Asda. A good 10 feet away from the shelter, she let go of her trolley, presumably because she thought it would 'park itself'. The front wheels just made it over the hump on the floor, and the back swung around to the side of the shelter, missing my car by mere inches. I said 'aren't you going to put that away?'. She replied with, 'I have'. I pointed out, 'well barely, and you very nearly hit my car'. Her reply was, 'well I didn't' and she walked off. I made a point of ensuring the trolley was safely tucked into the one in front.

    It's not difficult really.

    Parking miles away from anybody else in a car park only to return to find one car parked right up against me, still loads of empty spaces elsewhere. Why? WHY???

    Unsmoked Bacon. It’s not as though it’s been smoked then unsmoked, it’s just plain Bacon. Bit like unpeppered steak.

    This wasn't a peeve of mine until I just read it. Now it is.
    Guess it's the same with unsalted nuts.

    There’s someone near me that leaves his dogsh!t in a green plastic bag at the end of the path to the fields. They do it regularly as there is quite a pile of green filled plastic bags rotting away. I’ve vowed to watch for the perpetrators and follow them home then post the **** through their letter box….

    They’d be better just flicking the crap in the hedge bottom…

    When you see them do it they struggle to get out of the car because of the proximity of your car.

    The worst I saw was when an old infirm person opened the door against the next car so it held it firm while holding two hands on the door handle to aid them getting out.
