DRIVEN up the wall by junk emails, cold calls and aggressive sales pitches?
You're not alone. Pushy salesmen, spam emails and having to deal with foreign call centres have topped a poll of biggest modern life "bugbears".
Other irritants include having to stand on the train, dodging dog poo, spelling errors in books and deliveries getting lost in the post.
Among common household frustrations are forgetting to put the bins out and unloading the washing machine to find clothes covered in bits of tissue.
The study, carried out by a British building society, revealed the average person gets annoyed by something that is beyond their control up to seven times a day.
One-fifth of respondents said they get irritated if they read a book and find spelling errors. Losing the remote control, breaking a nail and missing the train also appear on the top 50 list.
