Cunts who suddenly stop to check their phone at top of a busy stairs or in a doorway.

100% this. I went to London recently and the buggers were stood like bollards and the end of escalators on the tube.

The non-driver who, when a passenger in your car, will unfailingly ask "why are you going this way?" even if you're following a satnav. I've been driving for over 25yrs, I may have a clue.

Just got a cracking new pair of trousers. Might be the best trousers I’ve ever had. Even came with a nice wallet!
