What gets your goat?

Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

what gets my goat? well sadly I have a few 'goats' to be got upon.
Firstly, Harvey Norman ads on commercial tv. The loud, hectoring voice at maximum decibels even when the volume is turned down really gets my goat. Then, barking dogs which owners ignore or leave tied up to serenade (not) the captive audience of the neighbours. Then, P platers who sneer at me with thinly veiled contempt as I drive at the speed limit. They look at me with pity as they speed off at least 10km above the limit whilst talking on their mobile phones - pink frangipani decal stickers and all.
Then, mothers who allow their small offspring to wail loudly in cafes, spoiling the atmosphere for others. If kids are tired and scratchy, take them home to bed and get them in a routine. They are not an accessory to be toted everywhere.
There, phew
I probably get on lots of people's goats.
