New - The things that really annoy you

[Keef]

Goes for lots of places, when I service bussed in mid wales, there are a lot of passengers as native welsh speakers, I made the effort to learn Welsh, I got the basics, numbers, phrases quickly, and did manage to get to a very basic conversational level, locals were happy I was making the effort, I was happy because I felt I was being accepted.
Most of the other English speaking drivers were along the lines of it’s not a real language, and they can speak English anyway, why bother?

On a long trip from Bilbao to near Alicante back to Bilbao then to Cherbourg via Roscoff, around 2,000kms, by far and away the number of people who overtook me when I was doing the max permitted speed of 120 and 130kphr, were BMW drivers.
And by far the number of drivers who didn't bother using their indicators.... BMW drivers!
And the most aggressive drivers, speeding up behind you, really close, really fast, were BMW drivers.

Smoke detectors when the battery is going & it decides to beep at 3.30am...

Why is it always the middle of the night when that happens?

Once had a neighbour with thin walls whos smoke alarm battery ran out whilst the property was empty. Now that nearly drove me to insanity.
