Stupid little things that bug you

Watching a film sequence where the actor (usually male and American) is having a meal and noisily stuffing food into his mouth and slurping a drink at the same time.
Is it part of "Method Acting" or simply poor table manners?

The England team are amazing. The open side prop is a bulldozer, the right winger is a bit quick. The stand off is calm and smart. The rolling maul is a massive weapon. Who can stop them?

For some strange reason I find myself mimicking them out loud to who ever I am with at the time. Can’t seem to stop myself and I also tend to mimic someone talking too posh.
 
Ex-pros in the commentary box. Usually only just retired, so mates with most of the players and therefore never criticise when it's due. So many players, apparently, 'would have hoped to have done better'.

Watch clips of any match from the 1970s with, say, Barry Davies and you'll get a sense of the extra atmosphere and pace created by a skilled commentator working alone.

With this season's new aberration - halftime interviews - watching football is becoming less and less involving with every year. The visual coverage is obviously fantastic these days, but that's about the only improved aspect that comes to mind.
 
Sky TV's 'experts' poring over their touch-screen analysis table. (Disclaimer: I never watch these bits any more, so they may have changed things, but I doubt it).

It's not the pundits themselves (I mean, there are plenty of other reasons to be annoyed by them) but the fact that Sky switch to a different view just to show us them tapping buttons.

It's 2025 - NOBODY IS IMPRESSED BY A TOUCHSCREEN ANY MORE!!
 
Airport Transfer bus drivers who get irate because you don’t know every little stop off point at a resort.
Airport transfer companies who assume you must be staying at a hotel so insist they drop you off at one.
Airport transfer bus drivers who don’t give you an indication of when you might finally leave the fecking airport.

I might be wrong here but I have a feeling you have used an airport transfer bus recently.

As it is the season....

Middle lane drivers on motorways and
Drivers that are incapable of moving out to let people in from slip roads.

The dotted line on the slip road when you are joining the main motorway carriageway means "give way'.
My issue is more with trying to get off the motorway onto the slip road.
I do agree about the middle lane hoggers though.
And tailgaters!

Tailgaters are annoying as you would go faster if you could. I suppose my point about moving out for a joining lane is more to do with when you see 1+ free lanes to the right of the vehicle and they just maintain their speed in that lane.
