Ignorant people on trains. I've got on a busy train and sat in a seat. Next to me was a black backpack. A few seconds later a lad comes up and says that's my bag I'll be back in a minute so I have to say to half a dozen people sorry that seats taken. Anyway, the train pulled out the station and there's no sign of the lad and the toilet isn't in use so I'm sat next to an unattended bag that could have who knows what in. Eventually at the twentieth time of being asked 35 minutes into the journey I shift it as it's standing room only. A couple of minutes later he reappears to check on it and says I've got another seat further down the train but I've just come over to check it's alright.
So I've spent 35 minutes wandering whether i'm about to be blown up whilst appearing ignorant to the poor sods who are stood all around me so some div can have a seat for his bag.

And a shovel.Horse shit! Why do dog owners have to pick up their pets shit but horse owners don't! Get a black bag and sort it!
I just can't help but feel someone is missing a trick with the overcrowded train conundrum, countries like India have had this problem solved for years buy allowing passengers to sit on the roof and cling to the sides of trains using nothing but a vice like grip as payment.On a train related whinge....
People who shoot you a filthy look when they are sitting in your allocated seat! Just don't fucking sit there, the sign clearly says it's booked!
Also people who decide to have a full course, hot meal that stinks the train out and all you can hear is them eating very loudly next to you
Train wankers who think they are important and want you to listen to their important phone call
When you are watching a TV programme (usually a documentary) and just before the break for adverts (though the Beeb do it to, either at the start or part way through a show) they say 'Coming up' after the break or part two.
Surely you are watching the programme anyway, why do we need to see what's coming up in the second part when the second part is a mere 3 minutes away anyway?
Really annoying. I quite often record programmes, so when they do, do this I not only fast forward through the ads, but also through the 'coming up' bit too.
Why do they do that? Are they so scared you are going to turn off or change channel? If so, they should make better programmes!!
Grrr!!!!
Hate the delay in the host giving the answer to contestant's reply in quiz shows too. Quite excruciatingly painful at times. Just say right or wrong and stop the overly dramatic pauses!!
I once got the ticket collector to move some woman from the quiet carriage because she was on the phone loudly for 30 mins non stop, she gave me a right mouthful as she changed carriages, I just smiled back.
Oh! So that was you was it!!! Grrr!!!I always stand next to them and talk really loudly the louder they get the louder I do.
Agreed, can't stand the "coming up" shpiel. I believe it's due to the fact TV companies think 99% of folks watching have a short attention span nowadays!When you are watching a TV programme (usually a documentary) and just before the break for adverts (though the Beeb do it to, either at the start or part way through a show) they say 'Coming up' after the break or part two.

I don't mind a dramatic pause for announcing winners, however they go toooo far and loses that edge.
Had to google what "brevity" meant >.< so I get your point, wingy, but I still enjoy some suspense!Who started that crap?
Was it Tarrant on WWTBAM?
I'm all for brevity myself.
Amen brother, ain't that the truth!Had to google what "brevity" meant >.< so I get your point, wingy, but I still enjoy some suspense!
If I remember correctly, Tarrant was pretty good at the dramatic pause/suspense. I don't personally watch these shows, but the likes of X-Factor, Big Brother, Britains Got Talent etc. I've seen the clips of them and they take a fookin age in announcing winners, spoils the ending, anti-climax.
The pauses seem to get longer and longer. It's most ridiculous I have noticed on the likes of Who Dares Wins on the lottery show when everyone and I mean EVERYONE knows the answer was correct. The contestants, the audience in the studio and all of us at home too. We all know the answer!
A bleedin easy question with a bleedin obvious right answer and yet they still do the long, long, long pause.
Hose : 'Name players who have captained England at football.'
Contestant: 'David Beckham!
Host: 'Is David Beckham on the list?'. Long pause..............Zzzzzzzz ......long, long, long pause ........ 'David Beckham IS on the list!!!!'
Agrhh!!!!!!!!!!
And then when it comes back on they have a recap of what's happened so far!When you are watching a TV programme (usually a documentary) and just before the break for adverts (though the Beeb do it to, either at the start or part way through a show) they say 'Coming up' after the break or part two.

Camera shake - on all channels, mainly for dramas. What's the point in HD/ ULTRA HD etc when it looks like they use mobile phones on maximum zoom to film it. Bastards.
...and people who say "mom"
.....and people who speak like "we went to town ? ...to buy some food?" Like it's a fucking question or they think I'm as thick as pig shit.
They should do a Rafa and say FACT.People in the UK saying period at the end of a sentence.
And people who do their yearly accounts it seems at the cash point.People in front of you at the bank. What are they doing that takes so long, when I get to the window it takes me 2 minutes max and I'm out, these dickheads seem to take hours.
