I'm all Americanised.
Anybody else noticed with these forums spellcheckers being in American that we're changing our spelling to suit?

People who can't tell the difference between "we don't understand" and "I don't understand", when applied to some controversial topic that requires a level of knowledge and expertise. Topics like GM crops, fracking, global warming, that sort of thing.
People who mistake their own beliefs for objectively measurable hard facts, or who don't recognise the difference.
People who express opinions on subjects that they know nothing about, and who believe that their contribution to the debate nevertheless has value.

Stupidity, I just can't tolerate it.
That includes the lack of common sense and covers most of what frustrates me, and seeing as I'm always irritated to hell, it's a lot.
Also, myself. I really get right on my own nerves and do my own head in.

oh yeah, that should be on my list, worse still,
needing a p*ss and being stuck in traffic - caused by an accident - and as the result of driver stupidity.
edit to add, media organisations that sensationalise things just to generate money. Then the people who believe this information to be true - and the celebrity culture, and the ever growing compensation culture.

I'll kick off with Indian call centres especially when you get someone at the other end whose english aint good, the icing on the frustration cake is when you finally get through to them what the problem is they aint got a scooby doo.
Ive just spent the last half an hour trying to resolve something and i'm probably further away from trying to sort it out than i was when i picked up the phone.

She also works for Orange and asks you to type in your phone number / debit card number / amount etc and then she reads it back to you and asks you to confirm that it is the correct read back by pressing 1. The system itself works well, it's just that She tries to be a real person by saying things like "I... " or "let me..."
