What is your biggest annoyance?

The current trend of the arrogant, holier-than-thou Hi Viz Lycra Brigade wearing video cameras on their helmets to film any motorists who they perceive to be breaking the rules of the road whilst, at the same time, they themselves continuously break the rules of the road for which they pay no taxes, including putting pedestrians at risk by travelling through red lights; weaving in and out of traffic; and driving on the wrong side of the road. Cyclists riding on pavements also annoys me. They seem to think that the paths built for the use of pedestrians are actually there for them to cycle along, and that they can do so without caring what speed they are going and without looking out for pedestrians. It's illegal in Britain to cycle on the pavement, yet I've never seen any cyclist arrested for doing so.
And this moron is possibly the worst of the lot (he was actually seen riding through a red light in the documentary he was in. He really needs to be sent on a road safety awareness course and taught the Highway Code, because cyclists, like all other road users, are not taught it):
Traffic Droid cyclist names and shames errant drivers with cameras on his helmet and bike | Mail Online
Traffic Droid: Lewis Dediare patrols the streets of London on the lookout for bad drivers
Warning: Mr Dediare rides a modified bike featuring a camera on a pole protruding from his handlebars, and carries a red card which he shows to motorists

I'm okay with it, I just don't like paying that amount for a load of crap that I don't like...why can't I just pay for basic cable plus the 10 channels that I like...right now cable is like Bell used to be...sucking us dry...
We have not had cable since 2006. We gave it up during the summer of that year and when fall came around, we realized we didn't need it. I hate commercials. And most of the shows I like, were not available through cable.
Now, when we visit friends or family that have cable, we can't watch. too many commercials, and they are soo dumb and insulting.
Don't think we'll ever have cable again.
I lived without a telly for 3 years in my first marriage. She had a kid and we all did stuff together and it was nice.
We entertained ourselves.
then the inlaws thought it perverse that the kid had no television and bought us one.
At first it was amusing then we all turned on one another and after two years it was all over.
very strange.
true dat.
I certainly "hear you". I've come to the conclusion that there is not one commercial that is honest, albeit I have to admit there are a few- very few- that are funny.
when my tv broke one year I didn't replace it for a couple of years..I didn't miss it...I don't know, I'm contemplating letting it go because I don't watch regular tv very often...I watch the high channels like HBO...there are no commercials and it's not formatted TV...there's not much on I like...but I love my shows like Game of Thrones, and Nurse Jackie, and BoardWalk Empire and Walking Dead...I'm paying a lot of money for around 8 TV shows
I think television programming has a HUGE influence on people. People are told what to buy, what to wear, what to say, what to think by watching how "others" act on tv.
To be commercial free is liberating.
I personally think electronics in general is the worst thing that ever happened to kids. It brings a tear to my eye to think of all the things we did as kids that today's kids never do.
When you are having a discussion (argument) with someone and you eventually make a solid point to prove your position and your opponent then decides they don't want to discuss it anymore. (Anyone else ever have that happen)? 
Dip****s who don't know how to drive and thieves who come to work and spend half the day screwin off.

oh that is the height of rudeness. And a sure sign of lacking in social skills . But you can take it as a sign they they know they lost that discussion.
