Ant McPartlin and in particular his wife lying about her age. She's always reported as being 46. She was born in 1976.

Ariel "boomerang smell" and Always "heavy flowers, butt checkers and wedgie pickers" adverts - they drive me insane.
On the phone: "can I talk to someone about something" You are talking. To me. Now. Just say what you want.
phone rings - I answer - they ask "who's there?"
Filler words - like, you know, you see, look.....

Strictly still stupidly pretending that the results show is filmed on Sunday rather than straight after the main show on Saturday night. Just why?

I don't think they actually pretend. They know we know. If they were to start talking about "earlier tonight" when a show goes out the day after, that would be really weird.

Opening a packet of paracetamol or ibruprofen and always getting the side where the little leaflet is wrapped round the ends of the blister pack

it gives me an unreasonable level of rage - and for years I’ve tried to second guess which side it is / look for a clue and no matter what I always pick that fecking side !!

I mean it’s no hardship to just slide it out and then the tablets, so I know IABU!

I felt this to my very core.

When you open a sliced loaf of bread and there is a big hole in the middle of each slice running through the loaf, infuriating.

That is annoying for sure. Combined with horrifying when you discover a mouse curled up in there!

Temporary lights popping up like weeds. Especially if no work is actually being done.
