Hahaha - I love this thread!! I have just read through it going "yes, yes", and now I can't think of a single thing to add to it 
Peeps at work who leave a sink full of dishes instead of rinsing them off and leaving them in the drainer when I have a notice up.... 'Please wash your own dishes Thankyou '

Just post "all of the above".
People who don't take any notice of my notices at work, even though they're big enough to see!
People at work who don't listen to what I say
'Customers' at work who keep pressing MY buzzer but they really want the peeps on the floor below us
Impatient 'customers' who can't wait until I've finished a phone call to answer the videophone and keep ringing when other staff are also busy!
Want me to go on?
oh! and people at work who leave notices all over the place about rinsing my cup and plate!

But what's so bad about that? Why should others do your washing up for you? 
Another one for me, which isn't trivial although a lot of people seem to think it is:
Illegally downloading movies online, be it old movies or movies still in the cinema.
Makes me pigging sick actually.
*runs to my safe haven of old cinema stubbs and popcorn buckets*
ITV thinking we all love Keith Lemon when we don't
Food packaging that nearly gives you a hernia trying to open them

all these drivers are collectively know as twats.
people who are intent on walking into you, rather than feeling the need to alter course to let anyone past, why are they so desperate to walk next the shop window at all times? what do they know that I don't?
these people are collectively known as prats.
All service companies all the time, especially those ones that have farmed their 'customer care' out to foreign lands.They maybe very nice people that answer your call, but totally ineffective in actually doing anything about it.
I also hate these companies because they hide, they make certain you are unable to contact them directly, unless you contact their sales department, they fix the 'contact us' options with and email address that only gives you options to talk about what they want you to talk about and phone numbers that never get you thru to the place you want to go.or they helpfully have some image of ' sandra' who is available to answer your query, be warned 'sandra ' does not exist, all she has is a list, and it's not a very helpful list.
I stick with calling their sales departments now.
these companies are collectively known as a********s
very good annoyance

Yeah, I'm not a lover of it either Rawky, although I don't pay full price for them on DVD, I don't d/load illegally

Must admit I do stream illegally, but if I like a film enough I will then buy it, or go and see it in a cinema if it's still current.

A million of them put through the bloody letterbox! I've been meaning for ages to make a sign for the door and still haven't got round to it 
alan car makes me laugh a lot, i will always remember the time he talked about twisting his ankle and had to go to A+E late on a Friday night.
' the place was full of drunks and chavs!............ I thought that they had bombed Lidl's'
People who talk to me wen i'm already chatting on the phone.
I can't have TWO conversations!!!

Oh the eating thing does my head in. We've a guy at work who insists on eating sweets all the time, and his mouth waters.. and he chews with his mouth open with full on smacking sounds. This is the lesser of the evils though.. he also spits when he talks...if he comes near my desk I cover my cuppa and it's not the first time I've had to go and wash my arms when he's been looking at my computer screen and spitalking to me. *shudders*

Oh I love a huge brolly if it's raining heavily - got mine today in fact Keeps me drier than my little one, and doesn't go blowing inside out. I do try not to hit people with it though!

I try not to get to annoyed about that anymore as it happens all the time here (London), I still hold doors and smile at people and whatnot... I don't want to become a miserable rude bugger too I sometimes 'oof' when they let the door shut on me, especially if I have bags, sometimes gets an apology 
edit. Lack of manners does still annoy me, doesn't cost anything to be nice etc but I really have had to lower my expectations since moving On the positive side, it's lovely going home

Great thread 
Most of the above irks me too
As a hairdresser though, what really annoys me is this-
Me: "how would you like it cut today?"
Customer "you should know, you're the hairdresser"
NO I DON'T KNOW, THATS WHY I'M ASKING! YOU SHOULD KNOW, ITS YOUR HAIR!
IT'S NOT MY JOB TO REMEMBER HOW THE WHOLE TOWN HAS THEIR HAIR AND I'M NOT A MIND READER EITHER!

IT'S NOT MY JOB TO REMEMBER HOW THE WHOLE TOWN HAS THEIR HAIR AND I'M NOT A MIND READER EITHER! Ooooh, I love this thread and many of the replies are hilarious, and also I agree with many of them.
Just to add a few.
Over familiar shop assistants and bank clerks etc.
I drew out ÂĢ700 the other week, from our savings for something, and the cashier said 'buying something nice? And I just said 'no..' and smiled, and didn't carry on the convo. It's nothing to do with her! (I just said 'busy today isn't it?')
And then there's the shop assistants in the big supermarkets... before Christmas, the Glade candles were for sale for ÂĢ1.50 each, down from ÂĢ3.50, so I bought 15! The checkout assistant said 'got plenty of candles haven't you? Selling them on ebay?' And I just half-smiled, and thought 'none of your beeswax!'
And when we withdrew over a grand last year for something, and the bank cashier said 'spending your money?' And we just said 'yes.' And she said 'well as long as no other bank is getting it haha.' And finally, when I am putting the shopping through, and I have a newspaper or magazine and the cashier starts reading the headline! Just put the damn thing through and let me leave!
SO NOSEY!
Oh and queueing up somewhere to pay for my stuff, and they open another till and people who only just came to pay gets served first!
There's lots of annoying facebook traits too. Like people gushing over one another, and posting every half hour about EVERY SINGLE thing going on in their life!
trivial .... When people open the margarine and dont put the paper film in the bin, they simply peal it back and use the margarine then flatten it back down again
when people do not properly remove the paper film off the top of coffee jars and then you have to go round ripping all the little bits off at a later date.
When you ask someone "how are you today?" and they reply "don't ask" then go into a big long story
People who update FB every couple of hours when they're abroad, people who update FB when they're at a gig, people who update FB when they wake up, eat, sleep, blah blah blah
Anyone who uses the word bored
People leaving dirty dishes on top of the dishwasher
Stereotyping...eg....typical Scot/Londoner/Yank etc
The stories they choose for the front page of newspapers.
Buying your favourite movies in a boxset then 5-10 years later they make another film
Putting out a boxset of the Harry Potter films "years 1-5" when you know there's 7 books
I'm thinking of more but I have to eat first

ooohh that reminds me, people who use the margarine and then scrape the excess on their knife back onto the edge of the marg box.
particularly nasty looking when there is well done toast+ marg scrapings dolloped along the side of the marg box.
The staff in the body shop are too pushy!
People that stand chatting in the aisles of the supermarket, just move to the side so i can get past
Q. And how much would you like to win Jessica?
A. I would like to win about thirty five thousand so we can get married.
Why don't the stupid feckers just get married
This is just one of the things that find Mrs Jer and I shouting foul abuse of a sexual nature at the tellybox.
Have to agree about FB 
"im really upset* why whats wrong *oh i can't say on here* well don't bliddy mention it then

My trivial annoyance is Edwina Curry.
