I have recently found this thread and am working through it, nodding in agreement with many of the posts.  I haven't read everything but I wanted to add this as it really gets my goat.
I hate it when you are driving round a busy, full is car park only to spot a space before everyone else.  You rush to it to get there first only to find that there is a tiny car - Fiat 500 or Smart Car for example - tucked right into the space making it look empty.

Cosmetics/Toiletries/Household cleaning products TV ads which are badly dubbed into English.
If 65m population isn't a big enough market for you to spend a few quid getting English speaking actors to play the roles, then I'm not going to give you any of my cash!. It's just lazy and insulting of the manufacturers, who must think we don't notice or we do notice but they don't care. Either way it's annoying.

......following on from the annoying people thread
Why does everything nowadays have to be "dubbed as" something.
Just reading on BBC News that today has been "dubbed as 'Super Thursday'" because of the elections. Why?. By Whom?. Why do we need everything to effectively have a Brand?
Don't get me started on why every scandal has to be .....gate?
I realise it's lowest-common-demonator stuff dreamed up by a lazy media copying a USA format but it does my head in.

Zombieland (2009)
Not sure how this one escaped me until last Saturday but I enjoyed it. A good cast (Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg) and entertaining zombie road trip storyline with a very good cameo apppearance from Bill Murray thrown in.

Having seen local news from most regions, there's definitely something annoying and embarrasing about how Yorkshire presents itself.
What is it with the Yorkshire superiority complex?. Constantly banging on about "God's own county". It can't just have come from Geoff Boycott.

Instantly reminded me of:
 

FTFY

You shouldn't feel bad - you'd have felt a lot worse if you hadn't helped him out. The dilemma will come when he next wants a loan and he hasn't paid this one back!

It's glandular!

"medal" and "podium" as verbs.

"medal" and "podium" as verbs.

Only when visiting elderly relatives.

Opening a box tablets at the end where the instructions are wrapped around. Every, f***ing, time!!!

lol, I was thinking that myself. There's one near me that I see quite regularly and he makes us Beemer drivers seem like shrinking violets.
They are quick, though. Mine is a quick car but another one left me for dead on the A1 a few weeks back. If I hadn't had my daughter in the car I just might have put my foot down. Mind you, he went off so quick, he probably only made it to the next services for a recharge!.

There's research Budge, then there's clairvoyancy, seeing as I posted that 10 months ago!
Tbh, I'm amazed a Tesla driver hasn't died from sheer smugness by now.

Don't get me started on people saying "off of" instead of "from"......

There's somebody in my company whose diet must consist of sh/t and fortnight old roadside badger if their poo stink is anything to go by. They are remakably regular, though, so I avoid the bogs between 10 and 11am.

Re-sealable bags of pasta/rice which always rip when you try to open them and therefore cannot re-seal.

Clickbait journalism.
YOU wont believe what THIS celebrity did last...
THREE players Derby County should sign from ARSENAL this...
THIS player linked with move away...
I absolutely hate it and will not read anything from sites that do it.

Appallingly cringeworthy & meaningless job titles/roles.
Ones I've seen recently on LinkedIn:
Opinion Leader. Thought Leader. Brand Defender Accounting Ninja Frangipan Tuddlemerkin Influencer. Changemaker. *I made one of those up. Only one, mind.

I'm glad we didn't have the internet when I did mine. Mind you, I do remember one "revision day" when I watched the film "Clue" 4 times.
