I hate buying a CD and then struggling to get the celophane off because my nails are too short.

Yes and trying to open a blister pack, having to resort to scissors without slicing my hand on the cut edge

when a bacon sandwich which has been halved or quartered but not cut properly so when one part is picked up it drags out the inners of the remaining section..

1/. Glued on labels which invariably don't come off in one piece and are placed in a really prominent position.

2/. New suit/jacket pockets which have been sewn up!

3/. Not really annoying, but it's a pain - the temperature of cheese pasties when you bite into them.

I think we can add trying to peel the top off a packet of bacon or smoked salmon in here too. You dont get a proper grip and when you pull just a small bit comes off. GGGRRRRR

I refuse to wear the eyepatch and the silly hat with skull and crossbones.

The thing that really winds me up is when so called conservationists catch small birds/mammals, maul them about and stick them in a bag to weigh them, then try to tell us they are not harming them. (and are licenced by Natural England to carry out these barbaric acts)

The unsatisfactory dump. You know the one that doesn't leave you feeling empty and strangely refreshed, but slightly disgruntled, with a frisson of anxiety.

This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Not quite a pentameter, but you're heading in the right direction.

When people want to shake your hand, but do the daft thumbs thing, or worse still, just tap each others knuckles. Shake properly, like an adult FFS!

Dishes that come out the dishwasher, still needing to be washed.

+1 The unsatisfactory dump.

Americans changing the English language and making it sound stupid; eg - dived = dove; dragged = drug.

Pubs that smell of B O. Give me the smoke any day.

Long range weather forecasts that keep changing. What's the point?

People who drive a Toyota Prius.


Wait, there's more...................
