Little things that annoy you....

Please explain. ;D

In my case I alwatys profess to know everything so when I am admitting I don't know something, I need to highlight the gobsmacking smack to get people ready for the distress.
 
The current little thing that annoys me is what Clarko (who needs to desperately fix up, to be honest ;D) and some other sports people are terribly habited in stating during interviews:

"You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know" "You know"

Let's also not forget: "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" "Uhm" ;D
 
I must say I've caught myself in the yeah nah phrase and it annoys me. The other thing is people on their mobile phones on public transport that talk so bloody loudly that it seems they are near shouting. I don't need to know your business neither does anyone else within 100 metres.

radio stations that play the same songs over and over again.

i always thought Fox FM was the worst culprit (i've nicknamed them Repeat FM), but one day last week we had nova on and they played that 'take me to church' song 5 times between 9:30am-3:30pm. and then i received a text from a workmate who said they played it again on his way home from work. it drives me mental having to listen to this crap all day at work... but then you change the station and MMM or Gold aren't much better. they both have very small playlists for stations that play songs from multiple decades.

Gold FM is the worst by a long way. These idiots promote their *smile* slogan 'more music, more variety' and yet all I hear are the same songs everyday which are the same top 40s we've heard through the 80s. At least MMM and others play more modern stuff (with some old stuff too). Gold FM also play more ads than any other FM station does. Best scenario: it's 11:45am, they play 2 songs, it's now 11:51am, they play ads right up to the news hour. After the news, it's all ads again while MMM & others are right back into the music.

Its awful Ian. When the weather is good we spend the day by the pool and my daughter runs the radio and you can almost predict that a particular song will be played ( ie Uptown funk)

Nova, Fox seem to have a playlist of about 15 songs.
 
I have a radio next to my ear 8 hours a day in my work. We run the local radio station and its a no repeat work day between 9am-4pm, but whatever song they are flogging at the time gets played at 8:45am, 10am, 4:15pm and 5:15pm. Yet they still call it a no repeat work day because it was only played once between 9am-4pm.
 
I wouldn't say this is a little thing that annoys me, I'd say it's a huge thing that annoys me.

I hate channel 7 more then any other channel. They're pathetic.
