1. Cold callers
2. Caravans
3. Queue-jumpers

5. Traffic wardens
6. People who tailgate
7. Brown-nosers
8. Chantelle and Preston from Big Brother
9. Ex-smokers
10. Noisy neighbours

That poll is just silly; Chantelle and Preston should be much higher up on that list!

I think ex-smokers should be too, they do tend to be a bit pious to current smokers and preach at them a bit, our ward manager seems to have declared war on smokers, and guess what, she's an ex-smoker!

Yes, ex-smokers are a real pain in the wotsit. I've always found it funny how people who have never smoked seem much more tolerant towards smoking!

Veering dangerously back on topic, I was surprised to see Carol Vorderman in the number 12 spot! OK, I admit that I had a crush on her during the '80s but even today I don't find her all that offensive?

What the hell's a cold caller? Plus, James Blunt has to be the most annoying thing ever, infront of the crazy frog...

You know, when somebody rings you up out of the blue and tries to sell you double glazing, or tries to get you to change your phone provider or gas supplier!

I think Blunty did well to only make no. 4 as well. He'd have been no. 2 on my list after big brother on the number one spot.

I think my second biggest annoyance is reality TV shows.
My first biggest annoyance would be a reality TV show with the word 'celebrity' in it somewhere

Also boy racers and those idiots who insist on driving everywhere seemingly in the gear lower than it should be for that speed. Why? What's the point? It doesn't make your Vauxhall Nova, Ford Escort or ancient BMW sound any more powerful or impressive, most people mutter 'W*nker' under their breath as you scream by with the inevitable 'thump thump' coming from your overprice and overworked stereo system. And no it is NOT an aphrodisiac to the opposite sex. They just think you're compensating for something.

Rant over, sorry if it's a little off topic, think I should dig out the 'Gaaagh! I hate that' thread
