Why do people who call the wrong number insist that you and not them must be in fact mistaken as they could not possibly have dialled the wrong number.

How about people that drive past a long line of cars waiting to get onto an onramp (or something of the like) and then expect to be let into the line?
I'm a very easy going guy but that makes me $%*&ing furious.

Yesterday some guy found great joy in repeatedly arranging the contents of his shorts on the tube yesterday.
Not as bad as the guy who I saw have a good scratch inside his trousers and then press the door button.
Nasty

why do some people just stop right in the middle of busy pavements and stand there for ages while you try to get past? Thats one of the most annoying things people do!

I hate male bravado. "So did ya get any while you were travelling over seas??" I got asked that 5 times on my first day back. GRR!! It's amazing how many people just have no idea.
I do poi nearly every day. But it's not like I'm addicted or anything. I mean, sure, I am always conscious of exactly where my poi are at all times, but I'm not obsessed. um.. Anyone have the number for Poi-ers Anon?

Things that annoy Billy Connelly....
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I
know where my watch is pal, where the f*ck is yours? Do I point at my
crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". F*cking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the f*ck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the f*cking floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement,
then there must have been something before it.
8. When people say "life is short". What the f*ck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever f*cking does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?
10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?
11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.
12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.
13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering.....It has to be a
McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank looks. Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you f*cking McTosser.
14. When you involved in a accident and someone asks 'are you alright?' Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.

back to wrong numbers...
Always ask them who they are after.
Then, if they call back a second time a minute later, answer with that name.
If you are feeling doubly cruel you can then put them on hold for a while.
It's only fair.

I'm not sure how well an impression of a wall would carry over the phone. How would they see the lovely brickwork effect?

People who insist on allowing their two-year-old to walk up the jetramp when you're getting off a plane, rather than carrying their children, thereby slowing down all 300 people behind them who have been sitting on their arses for the last 4 hours and want nothing more than to get off the plane.
People who try to read and drive at the same time.
People who hit the brakes for a turn, THEN signal.
People who talk on their cell phones and drive. (MAJOR pet peeve. If you're using a hands-free set, that's fine, but PUT THE PHONE DOWN!)
People who no-show for dates (had that happen a lot lately)

On the topic of amusing/annoying (depends on your perspective) phone antics...
Pick up the phone and just do the wall thing for a couple seconds or untill you hear a "hello??". You then treat the entire phone call as if it was you that rang them and not vice versa. Tricky, but if you pull it off you will find your victem quite bamboozeled. I suppose it would be even better if you had caller ID so you can ask for someone you know who lives there. Kat, maybe you could just start trying to reverse telemarket wacky products to those pesky wrong numbers...
Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.

I speak to old people every single day booking in services for their boilers (this is the boring 9-5 if you read that post)...so one of my pet hates at the moment is when old people answer the phone and then insist that I "Speak up lovey I can't hear you...I haven't got my hearing aid in!!" cue lots of shouting and repeating myself and then explaining what a boiler is...grrr!
