Starburst. They are not Starburst, they are Opel Fruits and always will be. And don't get me started on Snickers. STOP CHANGING THE NAME OF SWEETS!!!! :evil:

People who use their facebook to post cryptic status updates about a boy/girl without mentioning their name.Either grow some and say it to their face or at least tell everyone else who it is!

People who use their facebook to post lyrics from "Skepta" or "Wretch 32" with a heart after it like they're in the "hood".

Man United fans who complain about referee's

Wolves fans...End of.

Girls who ignore you for the most part but as soon as they need something they start being all nice.

Pretty much everyone in Year 13 at School.Just because I'm the year below you doesn't make you superior or give you any control over me...Kumquats.

Whenever I go to play football with my mates and one of my mates invites along his friend who for one is completely idiotic,can't play football and is just a downright idiot.

Older people who group youngsters into one group from what they see on the TV.Not everyone's like that,and I'm sure your generation had some complete plonkers in it as well!

Most reality TV,Especially Big Brother!

People who always tell me what to do,even though they have no idea about my life.Let me get on with it and do it how I want to.

Rude people who don't say thank you when you hold the door open for them,or let them through the door first.

Kids who try to shoulder barge you to look "hard" in front of their mates,when in fact they fall back themselves.

Wow,that felt good to get off my chest!

You kids you're all the same. Why don't you get on with living your life properly and not waste it on the internet.

Losing money.

I am not talking about at gambling but actually dropping money from your pocket into the great wide open.

I just lost £35... mad

People that buy tickets for concerts, sporting events then sell them on to touts the same day so that they can make a few quid furious

So true fans are missing out or have to over inflated prices. I have £50 tickets same row on Viagogo asking price £350 and the next block across £550

When your mates go to just one club in town all the time... and you don't like that club.

by GG Sat 16 Apr 2011, 11:44 pm

I have a few things that really annoy me:

Golfers who take loads of practice swings and don't let you through.

Schoolkids who think they're 'cool' because they just had their first beer.

'Musicians' such as DJ Ironic who have mae loads of money by singing other people's songs.

Politicians.

12 year old players on COD online who lie in the corner of a room for 15 mins kill you once then scream abuse at you through their mic's and when you try to explain how they are rude, poor they just reply with phrases such as 'so is your mum'.

Men in their late teens/twenties who watch soaps.

The Gocompare ad on telly.

Manchester Utd fans whinging about refereeing decisions.

by Guest Sun 17 Apr 2011, 1:13 pm

People who leave half way through a match online at Fifa.

Girl's who think they're amazingly attractive when clearly they're not.

Heavy metal.

Girl's who think they're the best thing since sliced bread because they flashed their bits and pieces and got into a club underage.

Guys who think they can hit on Mrs. Sainty just because they've had a couple.

This. I have my account on Private so I can only hear friends through my headset. People who camp in corners for the whole match really do annoy me.

Deep breath:

People who walk stupidly slowly in front of you
People who stop in the middle of the street to have a conversation or a gawp around (I get wound up no end walking)

Arsene Wenger
Ian Holloway being touted as a footballing/comedy God

That my local radio station seems to only have songs by Rihanna, Pink and Katy Perry

Keith Lemon, just not funny

Kerry Katona, Jordan, Peter Andre etc selling any aspect of their lifes and the people who are actually interested in it

The Royal Wedding, and the media's general amazement that people are only actually interested in the day off

That I see kids who were 2 or 3 years below me in high school out in town, and the realisation they're there legally

People who ring you, and then act like you've just rang them for no apparent reason

The Black Eyed Peas, mystifyingly popular

Oh and I meant to add that Abba and Madonna grind my gears. I hate them!

by camerajuan Wed 20 Apr 2011, 12:27 am

Many of these may have been mentioned before but I feel the urge.

Justin Beiber and his wave of popularity all thanks to a man I used to respect for what he has achieved in the music industry.

Katie Price convincing the media world that she matters when all she has done is paraded herself & her family problems in front of the country in order to get money for nothing.

Twilight.

High School Musical.(I have a Christian friend who loves it and proclaimed how clean and wholesome it was and how it was so much better for us than other stuff on TV. The next day, up pops Vanessa Hudgens with her norks and bijingo out in a "private" email photoshoot. MUG!).

Glee, and every out-of-the-woodwork "fan" who "loves" Journey because Glee covered DSB.

People adding me on facebook who I haven't said three words to in 17 years. Why will I start now?

Members of my family telling me to stop spending so much time at my computer then moaning when they don't know how to attach a link to an email.

People who proclaim certain comedians aren't funny when their sell out tours & fast selling Comedy DVDs beg to differ.

On the above note, people who went MENTAL at Frankie Boyle for joking about Katie Price's disabled son. These are the same people who watch Little Britain and laugh. At the disabled guy. Then call for Frankie Boyle's show to be banned, as if they're shocked and had never heard such things and didn't know what Frankie Boyle's humour was based on. Don't like it? Don't watch it. Extremely simple.

Still on that note, people who took the time to write into the newspapers and TV complaints departments DEFENDING Katie Price. Any human who gets that annoyed at someone making fun of Harvey Price should remember that he was inside Katie Price while she was dancing, smoking, drinking, and having sex with a kid from Bradford who can't talk properly.

People - especially the British Media - who omit catastrophic volumes of hypocrisy if you let them be for a while. Two classic examples are The Spice Girls and Jade Goody.

The Spice Girls, biggest band ever. Number one in over 45 countries with most of their singles and albums. Loved by everyone. Millions of CDs sold. Makin a comeback? Oh give it a rest girls, you're pointless now.

Jade Goody. Thick as manure and a ridiculously odd looking woman, knowing she was on TV gets naked & attacked in the papers constantly for years after she left the BB house. As soon as she got Cancer she turned into bloody Mother Theresa, doing everything she can to make her kids have a comfortable life after she has gone. Their Dad - and sole custodian thanks to her ding-dong of a money-grabbi... sorry, new husband and his extra curricular activities - is a TV presenter, internet columnist and reality show regular. If Jade Goody was a homeless bankrupt those kids would still want for NOTHING.

The BBC who hired Russel Brand as they thought his controversial humour would bring a higher and more diverse audience then firing him for being controversially funny. Anyone who's still upset over it - Manuel is not real. He was hilarious in Fawlty Towers and always will be. But he's not real. Russel Brand was not attacking Manuel.

That'll do for now.

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed 20 Apr 2011, 5:55 pm

People who call acts like the Spice Girls and the Saturday a 'band'. They're not a freakin' band! They're a group!

And whoever stole my chicken & ham slice from the fridge at work. I hope it gives you leprosy you thieving thiever thief!

My girlfriend trying to make me eat tomatoes, no matter how many times I've told her over the last 3 years that I hate them.

Just.

No.

by David Tails Thu 21 Apr 2011, 2:12 pm

The fact that C prompted me to go for my lunch when it was 12:01...."Ah Yew, you know, remembering the time Dave?"...Add that to the fact that she left 5 minutes early and then came back 11 minutes late.

Why push me to go on time if you are then going to extend your own lunch??

Kumquat.

How do you take to being called Dave?

by David Tails Thu 21 Apr 2011, 2:45 pm

I'm used to it.

My dad is also David...so I've answered to every variation of David/Dave/Davie you can think of.

Bothers me a little when someone I don't know that well calls me Dave. Or if I get an email from someone at work and they call me Dave instead of David. That irks me a little.

At all other times...I'm okay with it.
