Anyone who goes walking at dusk and uses those near-invisible dog-leads that stretch out at knee-height...

A***holes on roller-blades who travel slower than my slow run speed, but with enough sideways movement that overtaking becomes "interesting"

Everyone who was so inspired by Tom Hanks' athletics in Forrest Gump that they dedicated their lives to using the catchphrase whenever they see someone running

A***holes who say they are going to do something, repeatedly promise that they are doing it, but are in fact completely not doing anything of the sort, and have some vague plan to "do it later" after your deadline, and statutory retirement age, has long passed

Keith Chegwin

God, it's nice to let off steam!

Yes great to get off chest!

How about being stood at a checkout on your lunch hour and some gobbin in front is having a chat with the cashier, with a queue a mile long!

Mini roundabouts at supermarkets carparks! Why? Well, you spend ages carefully placing all your weekly shopping in the boot of your car and just as you swing round the mini roundabout you can hear jars and tins crashing everywhere in the boot!

People whistling to the music in shops. I would sooner listen to a cat with toothache. It's just so bloody insufferable. Why do they do it?

People having loud mobile phone conversations from the pasta sauce aisle with their other half about what to have for tea. We are not interested and you are a pest!

Over-helpful, spotty teenage shop assistants that hover near the door and pester you about what you want to buy when you don't even know yourself what you've gone in for. I'm just looking around!

I've just noticed that all my moans are related to shops.lol. I should start internet shopping more often I think.

What is it with people who switch on fog lights when you are already behind them and it is only a touch misty. I can see you I don't need your fog lights burning the backs of my eyes out.

People who dither at roundabouts, just bloody go.

People who think you are a mind reader and know what they will want just because they know!

Immature people arguing thinking they are so grown up and clever when they retort with silly noises.

Cold callers - "Hello, I've just come to make sure you're not paying too much on your gas/electricity bill", like they're bothered!

Phone calls at 10pm at night asking if I want to remortgage or take life insurance - and then they wonder why I'm quite rude - or ask them for their home number so I can call them back when its convenient to me - I love that one!!!

Finally, I manage a shop in Stratford and quite often get people wonder in as I'm locking up - lights out and all that, tables and chairs stacked up, who look surpised when I tell them I'm closed (despite the signs on the door).

You need the Telephone Preference Service. Say goodbye to insurance/double glazing/whatever sales calls. The best bit is that if you do happen to get a call after you've signed up, just tell them you have and they can't get off the phone quickly enough. Ah, bliss!

1. Estate agents
2. Everyone else in the supermarket
3. People who do 40mph everywhere - ie in a 60 and 30 limit because they're too damn lazy to look at the signs and put/take their big fat foot on/off the accelorator
4. People with no indicators, or indicators which are attached to steering wheels

I'll just have another Milky Bar and everything will be fine!
