This QOTW has made me realise i have an irrational hatred of almost everything. Here's some samples
1. People at the front of a queue who seem surprised when the shop assistant tells them the amount for their goods and waits to be paid. They then spend several minutes spacking about trying to locate their purse/wallet inside their handbag/coat. If you're really unlucky, they'll finish off by attempting to get the exact amount of change which generally involves them repeatedly asking the assistant 'How much have i given you there so far?'. Tends to happen more often to old people and women with large handbags. Can also happen getting on a bus.
2. Foreign exchange students who think the bottom or top of an escalator is a good place to stop for a group discussion. Especially annoying in a London Tube station.
3. English people who when asked where they're from say 'Oh I'm half scottish/Brazilian/Irish etc etc. You're English, stop being a twat.
4. Fat people who claim it's an "illness".
5. Herby sausages - There's no f*cking need for it.
6. The small print on adverts on tv especially for womens products. ie Survey based on 108 people. 58% said their hair was slightly more shiny. Seriously?
7. Reality TV. According to my wife, I can ruin the enjoyment of any reality TV show if I'm made watch it. Hate hate hate, fame hungry whores and staged managed bags of shite.
8. People with a gap between their top two front teeth. Gives me the shivers and makes me nauseous.
9. People who refuse to move out of the fast lane because they're doing the speed limit. ARGHGHGHGHGHH
10. Slow drivers who speed up like a maniac whenever they encounter a straight piece of road making it really hard to get past.
11. Slow drivers who refuse to move over to the hard shoulder to let the 3 mile tailback overtake them.

A friend of mine had a job at uni, this job was to "lose" the survey responses so that the rather odd number of persons surveyed matched up with a nice sounding percentage for their TV advert.

Required by the advertising Standards Authority as proof of data for claims. Otherwise companies would be doing surveys of 10 people in the office and reporting that everything is peachy keen without any scientific basis for it. I work in the industry and my companies numbers are statistically valid. Certain French companies activities have forced us to be like this. "Because they're worth it"
