Finding that since I've uninstalled Call of Duty 4 from my (now dead) laptop, the CD is too scratched to install it on my desktop (the picture is an example only)

I was surprised how difficult it was to find someone slightly annoying. Naturally most of the first individuals that come to mind are very annoying so i had to find someone who if they appeared on TV I wouldn't necessarily switch channels but might roll my eyes and think "not him/her again." So here's my choice:

I have nothing against him personally but I get fed up with him sticking his oar in on, for example, architecture when he's had no training in this area at all. He may (for all I know) be right sometimes but as soon as any large-scale building is planned he always pops up with his opinion as if he's Mr. Man-In The-Street. He's seemingly just hanging around waiting to be King, twiddling his thumbs and doing a daily sudoku.

Ok 2 pages and we've reached royalty, a'right. Quite like Prince Charles, he's one of the annoying-but-likable ones.

Moving half a step up to:
Philip Schofield

If only because he's so likable.

Adverts stealing viral internet memes and using them to sell products,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk6nN1rq71Y

just lazy advertising. (the pitiful number of views of this video means 'epic fail' on Ford's part, the shear patheticness of this tactic stops it being really annoying.

If you've ever watched Dragon's Den, or used to watch the 10 o' clock news, you'll know why.

What's the viral meme that it's stealing from?

And he looks like a sex offender as well. Bad combination.

I think Heather's going to be very good at this game, let's hope she has a chance of contributing before we discover the most annoying thing in the known universe.


I find it annoying anyone would think I'd be good at this game!

Actually, I was reading through the responses and wondering what things only annoy me mildly.

I couldn't think of anything except very annoying things, so I guess I should step back and let everyone else be mildly annoyed on my behalf.

:D
