The only cartridge I had was Buddy Holly and when I scrapped the car, to my eternal shame, it was still in the machine.

Short people with those long handed suitcases that drag along behind you on sets of little wheels.
When someone is little but they still have the handle fully extended it means that their case is trundling along behind them by about three foot. In crowded situtations these cases are impossible to see and act as tripwires.
I hate them.

The fact that I have let it get to 2.40 without going to the gym. I can't have lunch until I've been to the gym, but I don't really feel motivated to go today.
I hate whatever it is that is sapping my motivation today

That irritating drumming muzak that they play behind traffic and news bulletins. If you have hearing difficulty it is impossible to separate the words from the background drone.

They never seem to use them on really serious news stories, Like Murders or Disasters. Now that would be bad taste!

Disgustingly pedantic people that *always* voice their petty hates
Kids that say "borrow me a pen" instead of "lend me"
Spelling mistakes on costly advetisement posters
Shop assistants
People that repeatedly spell or pronounce your name wrong
People that pronounce pronounciation, "pronOWnciation" and not "PronUnciation" as it should be
People that insist on using cliche idioms incorrectly
Ignorant people that are arrogant enough to act well-informed
People in general?

Small children that come up to you in the street and ask

Kids in gangs who say 'scooz me maayt, can you do this, have got that etc'.

People with no manners, who come in to my place of work and believe that just because I'm in customer service, they can be rude and arrogant.

BBC2 ruining my viewing pleasure by replacing shows with the 3 most boring sports in history, namely snooker, cricket or golf.
People who think that just because I'm a Buffy fanatic, I have no life or other outside interests.

People who complain about people being maticulously clean, who are obviously not clean themselves.
People at work who are disorderly, which means I have more work to do.
