TW mum doesn't have that problem... her ringtone is a moo... so when her phone goes we tell her it's mooing IT's still amusing three months later lol.

Another irritation... people parking in disabled bays when there's nothing wrong with them and/or they don't have a blue badge. Adding to that... disabled bays that are further away from the entrance than ordinary bays. And disabled bays that are close but not wider than normal bays so are hard to get out of the car.

Who said that? lol

People who call me to give and order and tell me what they want at twice the speed of sound, expecting me to have already found their detailsbefore I pick up the phone.

People who make a statement but make it sound like a question

People who walk across you or won't get out of your way, even when they can see you are on crutches (I'm not now but it was like that when I was)

My colleague who reads her emails out loud, and the replies...drives me nuts because I keep thinking she's talking to me while I'm trying to get on with what I'm doing..

MP3 players on buses played too loudly, that constant 'shhhp shhhp shhhp shhhp' grrrr

Hello Harry......I don't think there is much that irritates me.......but I am sure there are things.....

ones that get to me are those who try and get money by suing companies for stupid things.....

like this man who tried to sue because he slipped on a grape in the car park......he was after £300,000.......stupid beggar should have taken more care......

another was army personnel getting money for RSI, and I mean a lot of money......whereas that poor chap whose face was really bady disfigured by burning was given a pittance......so unfair.....

Hi Harry,Im afraid I get Irritated very easily these days ,It must be my age lol!

But my favorite one at the moment is people who stand chatting in the aisles In supermarkets and look at you as if your Intruding:-))

I'm very Naughty I'm afraid I accidentally nudge them with my trolley.

Oh, Caz, don't get me started on the state of our roads and the new system today... we went to the owl and pussycat on sunday and even though it was quiet it was ridiculous... and what's with all the traffic lights? It just wasn't necessary. Should imagine it adds time to your journey to work and the college must have issues with the main road running down ironworks road now... that road wasn't designed for heavy traffic and how are the garages going to have their new cars delivered?

Its so bad my nephew had a survey on it as their homework this week LOL.

So yeah, that irritates me a lot!

men who have gone bald on top but let one side of their hair grow long and sweep it over - how daft is that - men can look really good when they go bald - but a long flapping side piece is gross

I could get irritated with so much but have learnt to settle right down. After all the only one whose blood pressure will rise would be mine, what's the point? lol
