Militant Irritants

Daily Telegraph piece on 50 annoyances.

All 50 somewhat resonate with me ....

• People who tell you that something or other has been "a learning curve".
• Young women who continually rake long, wild, ringletty hair with their fingers in a gesture that is meant to imply "I am a free spirit".
• Loudspeaker announcements about late train arrivals that apologise for any inconvenience they "may" have caused.

#51 - could be pretentiosi who describe things as "resonating".
