Electronic passport control gates.
Maybe not the gates themselves, as I'm not a total mouth breather and know how to follow the 3 simple instructions it gives you, but the general public who are incapable of doing the following:
- Inserting Passport shiny photo side first.
- Standing in the correct spot.
- Looking at the screen for 10 seconds.
Took me 40 minutes at East Midlands last week because of this. Made me weep for humanity.

Isn't that because people sit & drop bags on the end of the bed - and presumably then complain about dirty bedding?!.
On a related note: What is it with women and putting bloody cushions on the bed? Drives me insane at home. 

Talking of hotels - that weird strip of useless material that they always insist on putting over the end of the bed, and you just have to take it off and chuck it on the floor.
 
I mean - it doesn't annoy me as such - I just don't understand it

If ever a man needed to start online grocery shopping it's you!

Interesting blog. Not sure I really believe it though. I know a long distance lorry driver and he openly admits that they do it because driving long distance is incredibly boring and annoying car drivers in this manner is one of their small pleasures*

I'd turn it up, seeing as you're obviously enjoying it so much.

When you can clearly hear someone else's music through their headphones, I like to catch their eye and then start clapping along with it in perfect time, smiling all the while. You'd be surprised how quickly they turn it down and then never look at you again the whole journey

Another perfect album by Mr Gedge and his team.... Cant wait for them to get over here next spring, I would advise everyone on here to get tickets to see them in Derby they are great live.
Best album is definitely George Best and anyone that says otherwise is wrong.. ha ha.. Seamonsters is a close second though.

My zoom lens isn't THAT good

Remember my (very inebriated) mate having a pee and then looking down and saying "Oh no! I've pee'd all over my shoes" - to which the (thankfully equally wrecked) bloke next to him looked down and said "yep - and you pee'd all over mine as well" - a swift exit ensued....

Sorry, sometimes I just need a closer look

Blokes at the iPro urinals who have downed 10 pints pre-match and unleash the power of a large pressure washer against the stainless steel, and you can feel it splashing all over your hand and Little Stive as you stand next to them

I too have numerous tattoos. They are either Austrian themed or band logos.
I now dislike most of them and want them gone but I have to live with them now. I'm nearly 40.
All my tattoos mean something personal to me though which I am proud of in a way. I haven't just plumped for the seemingly obligatory celtic arm / sleeve generic design thingy that nearly every bloke seems to have nowadays. Not judging anyone who has one of these, it's not my body so do what you like to yours. I agree with the two other posters on here who commented about other issues which cause people to get tattoos done. I think there is a sense of getting them to compensate for insecurities for some or just getting them to pose which again, insecurities but in another sense. Others simply like the designs and artwork and love them so fair enough. I don't really like tattoos. Never have done really if i'm honest.
I thought they would make me look cool at the time but now 15 years on I look like a tw*t.
That said though, I think of all the club badges, the Derby ram stood alone in bold black is a simple but bloody good design to get tattooed.
 

Or ask yourself if you can address your insecurities in a way that doesn't involve permanently inking your body?

I'm just teasing - suffice to say that I'm 100% certain anything I'd chosen as a tattoo at 18 would have been something I'd be mortally embarrassed of as an older adult. I'm just glad I didn't bother.
 

Also  - never get a face picture done. They always look awful and never look like the person they are meant to
I remember a guy in Derby - massive Smiths fan got a tattoo of Morrissey on his arm. Looked more like Shakin' Stevens.
For some reason he didn't enjoy us pointing it out (every time we saw him)
