BMW drivers - I've yet to encounter one who didn't think they owned the road, and who didn't think that indicating was completely optional.
Also, they drive BMWs...!
Mercedes drivers are much more considerate 
Hello PeakSteve, might you be a Mercedes driver by any chance?
I would put the drink you have to have if your potassium level is low Sandocal K sp in Room 101, oh and all computer support packages that you pay a fair bit for but never actually see a person when it goes wrong, just someone in India who is difficult to understand giving me instructions that i don't grasp!.
Symbicort. Its tastes minging and comes in a turbohaler. Urgh.
If there is any room, i would like to put mercedes drives in here =)

… which reminds me of a funny (well I think it is) car story. Feel free to substitute other car names.
BMW drivers version of events -
The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.
First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.)
Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?)
Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 95mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph!
Naturally, I got to within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.
Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.
Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!
Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.)
But the man at the Police Station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

Teachers who complain about me missing lessons for cons appt... Grrrrrrr!
BT, got a fault on my phone but can I convince them it is not at my end can I bottom! We have trailed around the house unplugged every phone, Internet connection, SKY box, brought a brand new phone and still the phone does not work, but it is not at their end oh no can't be BT's fault can it!
Arggggggggggggggggggg
Bex
Ah, BT. You need to moan at them to stir them into action. You can request a call-out on the understanding that if they don't find a fault with their supply/equipment, you will be charged for the visit.
I had to do that about 5 months after we moved here when our broadband stopped working. Got a visit the next day, problem sorted, no charge because it was their line that needed replacing.
While we're here, can I put Virgin Media into room 101, please. NTL Telewest provided absolutely abysmal service, but lo-and-behold Virgin have done the impossible; they've made it worse.
labour (and delivery)
pregancy too!
I think I may have put them in before but I'll do it once more for luck. Perth College.

Stairs and hills...lets make the world flat, why do we need all these uppy and downy bits, if everywhere was flat, we could breathe and it would take less time to get from A to B!!
And spiders!!! Yucky!!!
Xxx
hehe I'm with you on the stairs!
Lung function tests in mine. Definitely. If I'd ever had an ABG I'd probably change my mind on this but I'd much rather have a blood test than lung function tests!
Also cons appts, complete with my amazing ability to babble like an idiot in them. Job interviews, for the same reason. My pyromaniac neighbours. Militant smokers.
Bee Gees. All copies of Massachussets. Cannot stand it. Family tease me by playing snippets.
Once, at work it came on the radio and I almost took the coat rack with me in my haste to grab my coat and go for a very early lunch.
Going down Hwy 101, I had video camera going when what did I hear from car stereo? Flipping song again. Other half, driving, turned up the sound and said loudly 'Hey! Your favourite track is on!'
Yep. You can hear it and him when video played back. 
Edit: thought better of post so deleted.
'Music' in shops and lifts. Radio 2 in our GPs surgery.
My surgery went through a phase of playing classical music. Should have been good, I like classical music - except they only seemed to have one of those annoying compilation CDs that plays the more annoying pieces on repeat. It is NOT relaxing esp when you have to wait for ages and hear the same thing 4 times. They just have quiet piano music now which is better as you can ignore if you don't like.
Our surgery has Radio 2 on, quite loudly. The interviews occasionally jar when they are on sensitive subjects, such as cancer/death, also the news (murder, war and general mayhem). It's depressing enough waiting (usually ages) in the surgery, without being forced to listen to something you dont like and can't switch off. Gets on my nerves so would definitely go in Room 101!
Rap music. Actually I don't know how it can be described as music. It sounds like someone talking a lot and saying nothing. Empty vessels make the most noise.
The vets. Loving going and seeing all the fluffys, just ended up sitting outside with the receptionist freaking out offering me a glass of water, if only a glass of water helped, we'd all be laughing.

Science journals. My college library. Athens login. Elsevier. Nature. The science publishing industry in general.
AAARGHHHH.
Sorry, trying to find articles for my essay...supposedly my college library has subscriptions to various journals and databases but even when it does I have to click about 10 times and fill in my details multiple times, and this time it's refusing me access to really quite a major journal with an article I need. Such a massive waste of time!
Grrr. If only I were a top-level researcher who could make a gesture by boycotting Elsevier...hmmm, my cons actually is one though, wonder if he's signed the petition?
Sorry, this is massively uninteresting unless you're involved in it all or studying atm. I just needed to rant.
