Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Large lifts - sometimes found at train stations or large offices.
Doors are about to close... and a hand sticks in between the doors - the doors open again - one person gets on... then - because the lift doors are now open, allows several other persons to trot onto the lift... the invetible 3 second pause whilst the lift reacts to close the doors again...
And another person seizes the opportunity and jumps on, juttering the doors open again.
Then - if youre really unlucky - you will get someone pushing on with hardly any room to spare, meaning the doors wont close at all... everyone stands there tutting. 4 seconds pass... 8 seconds pass... person gets off - lift goes up.
More often than not, the first person only goes one floor.
This usually happens to me when im in a rush.. like about to miss my train.

I've always found taking the stairs to be the quicker option when just going up or down a single floor.

Anything under 5 floors I wouldn't even entertain using a lift unless I was with someone else who insisted or there was no other choice (which pisses me off intensely).
