Not really an issue in these times of social distancing, but walking down a pavement or through a shop where you are walking behind someone going painfully slow and you can't get past them. Nrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghh! (I'm not talking about a person on crutches here, just someone dawdling along, often talking with their friends whist walking 3 abreast).

I'm a long term believer that pedestrianised areas should have an overtaking lane like motorways or even like on escalators on the tube. Too many 'middle lane hoggers' about in town centres causing 'traffic jams'.
 
People who drop the g at the end of a word. Pritty Patel would do it all the time. All for regional accents but that one drives me crazy.
 
Pre-planned goal celebrations in football are one for me, absolutely hate it and makes me cringe, it's even worse since the pandemic when they do it when there's not even any fans there. Whats wrong with a fist pump or running with an arm in the air!?

Or a gentlemanly handshake. Not for too long mind, just a quick "well done sir"

Dawdlers of all kinds for me. Town centre stragglers has already been covered but also drivers who wait at traffic lights, seemingly with the car in neutral, with the handbrake on, waiting until the lights have fully changed to green. At this point they then begin the laborious process of finding 1st gear and taking the brake off. Drives me crazy. See also people who drive all the way up to the tollbooth at the Tyne Tunnel (I use it a lot), and then begin rummaging around in their pockets and in glove compartments for change. You can see them asking passengers sometimes! Gah!

Maybe it is hard for some people, so we should give grammar mistakes a bit of slack

People who get wound up by grammar although they can see what the meaning is, but complain about it, that does my head in

I don't tend to criticise someone's English as long as I can understand their meaning. That's what language is for and anyway, we all make mistakes. However, when I see a grammar police person being overly critical I scan their post for mistakes and am amazed at how often I find one.

I'd rethink using Brave, its not recommended by privacy experts after being caught doing naughty things.

Seen a lad at work call to site and hadnt seen him since lockdown, he is 60 and swore on a stack of Bibles that he didnt dye his hair, although it was raven black, it was now really long and just about grey.

The fact he had panda eyes and more wrinkles than an elephants asre was always a dead giveaway he was a fossil. Why lie!
