Centre Lane hogging on the motorway. Really annoying. Keep left unless overtaking ( not a vehicle 2 miles up the road). It's not difficult and it stops a 3 lane motorway becoming 2 bloody muppets. Adding to that. Lorries who take absolutely ages to overtake as both are doing roughly the same speed. Why the one in the inside lane doesn't take his foot off the accelerator just for a few seconds to allow the other to pass I've no idea. |

people who don't indicate when leaving a roundabout, so I'm sitting there in case I have to give way like an idiot, not able to pull out until you've cruised off on your merry way - absolutely boil my p**s, it's so selfish and just apalling driving. OH YES.......big time. Just SOOOO annoying this one. Completely oblivious to anything but themselves. Amazing that a car can actually come with indicators in this day and age. Yes even BMWs do have them if you look carefully. |

Drivers who park next to another vehicle when the car park is not even half full.

Survey cold callers who won't take a polite no thank you and continue jabbering on making it necessary to put the phone down on them. Don't like doing it as they are only doing their job.Main ones at the moment are for Life Insurance or COVID jabs.

Or leave their car at the pump and then go into the store to do their weekly shop. Happens a lot at the Spar in Tarporley. Bloody hell , that would drive me absolutely nuts . Because it's a small forecourt they end up straddling not one but two petrol pumps! |

If it's important they will leave a message and you can ring them back if needs. Served me well over the years saved me loads of wasted time. |

People asking for a certain product (i.e. Pint of a certain Beer) when that product is obviously not for sale and then moaning, just because they "wanted it"

20 m.p.h. zones - rumoured to be coming to local areas soon! When I was at primary school two kids were killed by vehicles doing about 30mph. They’d likely still be alive if the vehicles were travelling at 20mph. So yes, it really is a silly thing to get annoyed about. |

Bin collection day today so this is topical for me. People who leave their wheelie bins in the middle of the pavement for days. We have living on our street a blind man and a couple of wheelchair users, must be difficult for them to get around on bin day. Our neighbour does it and I know she is in and ignoring her bins, I’ve started taking them up her drive and waving sarcastically into her video door bell. I took our new neighbours' bins back as they're often away during the week. They thanked me for being kind and bought me a nice bottle of wine! |

And that's before we get to the compulsory slow motion fist pumping. |

Has this thread gone off topic or does everybody posting about vehicle-related annoyances consider them silly? I doubt that - suspect we might have a lot of snarling, white-knuckled road ragers amongst us.
Anyway, a couple of genuinely silly annoyances I have when driving - drivers wearing baseball caps and cars that appear to have no driver because they can't be seen in their seats. This isn't meant to be a complaint about short people driving, perhaps they slouch? I dunno, just irrationally irked when I see it.
I was going to endorse the inability to contact an organisation you want to speak to, but there's nothing silly about being annoyed by our robotic, FAQ, AI bot infested "customer service" society. In fact "annoyed" doesn't begin to do justice to it.

The aforementioned motorway middle lane hoggers really windy me up - don't realise they are taking up two lanes of the motorway!!
However the people who start a sentence with "I am not racist/homophobic/mysoginist but.." make me roll my eyes!! Usually indicative that they are about to say something racist, homophobic or mysoginist!!

So yes, it really is a silly thing to get annoyed about. No one is arguing that a 20mph limit should not be in force outside schools. Neither happened outside the school. I’d seriously hope anybody that knew the damage a vehicle travelling at 30mph can do would support 20mph zones. |

Paying over £5 a pint.
Twitter not being called Twitter even though it is Twitter.
Time with the kids going past too quickly.

Footnote - saw a BMW who has obviously paid the extra for indicators today. Made such a difference that everyone else in the vicinity actually knew which turn off they were taking off the island. Well done that driver.

I worked with someone who wore his overcoat over his shoulders and didn’t put his arms in the sleeves.
For some reason this really wound me up even though it was a very petty thing to be annoyed about.

Usually indicative that they are about to say something racist, homophobic or mysoginist!! I was in lane 1 of 4 lanes yesterday, I pulled out to overtake and as I did so I also undertook a lorry who was in lane 3 literally pedal to the metal doing just over 50mph, he blasted his horn at me, I gave him one back, wasnt really sure if any, either or both of us were in the wrong  |
