Motorbikes. All of my nearest near-misses on my push-bike have involved motorbikes. I hate the sanctimonious way they try to claim that they are really innocent victims of incompetent car drivers. Well, perhaps, but accelerating to 120mph from urban traffic lights and driving on the wrong side of the road most of the time doesn't help.
The London Marathon. You've got to have irrational, indefensible hatreds of entirely benign things, and this is mine.
Moon landing hoax conspiracy theorists. I've read the books, watched the films, trawled exhaustively though the thousands of photos and mission/engineering journals, even met one of the astronauts. Anyone who takes the care to look in any detail at all will see that hoax-theorists are not just stupid, they know they're wrong and maliciously keep going anyway, just to wind people up. Arrrgghh!
Kate Bush. It just sets my teeth on edge - I can't bear it.
Coupling. It's just not funny. Maybe I should watch it again though, as I seem to be on my own there.
Harry Potter. What kind of moron makes kids films over 3 hours long? Eh?
umbrellas - or rather people who use them between London Bridge and Liverpool Street (along Gracechurch n Bishopsgate). People using umbrellas take up twice as much space as usual, walk at least half as fast, have no concept that they are carrying eye-damaging spikes at eye-level and are generally inconsiderate muthas... *steam rant rage*

all those sad lonely b@stards they dragged up on the "100 worst britains" programme to comment on the 100 worst britains. THe only reason most of the contributes weren't in the list is cos no one's heard of them and doesn't give a shit.
have two branches to our IT network. Tekkie is only to broadband one of them leaving the other on ISDN meaning I have to pay for two parallel contracts.. one broadband and one ISDN, until they come back in three months time and do the rest.. meaning I have to spend your money, dear taxpayers on something I don't need. Apparently it's not on the job sheet to do both.
I am so glad that I am not the only one that hates people chewing gum... especially with their mouths open urghhhh! It is my number one pet hate closely followed by People dawdling along a busy street / stopping suddenly / generally getting in my way when I want to get somewhere...
