What annoys you the most?

I hate when people spell my forename wrong or get surprised that I’m not Caucasian when they finally meet me in person (no eastern accent) since my forename (thanks to my mum)and surname (because I married a Caucasian) are not of Eastern origin.

I kid you not, I once was pulled over by a black traffic cop on my way back from the airport to fetch my daughter’s friend who was visiting us and he wouldn’t believe that it was my drivers license and it has my photo on it ( recently renewed I might add). He thought that I’d stolen my Mercedes and I had my kids in the car with me! I asked him would I have kids in the car if I’d stolen the car!
Talk about stereotyping a person based on their name and lack of an accent!

You should try being from Yorkshire and going down to London, they think we are all flat caps and pigeons...

That no one is is the source of total blame for anything, just a sequence of coincidental events.

And there's more … couldn't resist posting this one, there's so much more than flat caps and pigeons to this and it's very interesting to read about something that's far from annoying (apologies to OP):
