Ignorant drivers who never stop at crossings.

Drivers who park or half park on foot paths so that you can't or hardly can get past. Foot paths are for us to walk on and not for drivers to park on.

Drivers who don't indicate when they're coming round the corner. I'm not a bloody mind reader and it's a good job that I always wait.

People (who have two very good incomes) who moan to me (single woman with..okay income) about how little money they have and how they're mad that parking for a whole day costs €6,-
You'll live.

People who put their bags on a empty seat in a crowded train to avoid somebody else could sit next to you.

People who put their bags on a empty seat in a crowded train to avoid somebody else could sit next to you. God, I hate them! And when you politely ask them to move their bloody bag they give you the death stare! One even asked me once where she was supposed to put her big bag. What do I care? On your lap, on the floor, on your head, take a taxi,... Whatever! Rant over. 😁

Drivers who jump the lights at crossings. It's happened to me twice in recent weeks and it's a good job that I always wait otherwise I could've got knocked down. Mind you, some people can be just as bad when they can't be bothered to wait and just cross the road when there's cars coming.

Ignorant people who won't wait their turn in a shop and just push in.

Chat and cut (stolen from Curb Your Enthusiasm)
When people start chatting to a friend at the front of a queue and then stay there

It’s weird - the Brits love an ordinary queue, while Americans are a mess with ‘lining up’ (as they say), yet Americans rarely push in, but the Brits do despite being more orderly. It’s very weird. tiger40 and welshylad

Self service checkouts, I hate the bloody things and whoever invented them need shooting.

Self service checkouts, I hate the bloody things and whoever invented them need shooting. Yes I refuse to use them. I was in my local supermarket last week. A Friday night and it was particularly busy. I had a heap of groceries but when I went to pay the only service counter manned was the "12 items or less express" lane. It was that or the self service checkouts. Both had huge queues. All six of the regular checkout queues were closed and unmanned. I had way more stuff than "12 items or less". One poor Mum had what looked like a week's worth of groceries and was struggling with two young kids. She was asking the woman manning the express lane what she should do and and she said to join the express queue. I honestly thought the poor Mum was going to burst into tears - chances are somebody in the queue behind her trying to just buy a bottle of milk would end up abusing her. I was about to start putting all my groceries back on the shelves where I got them - item by item - and leave when I decided that wasn't my responsibility. I simply put my basked full of groceries smack down in the middle of the floor (it was large - nobody would fail to see it and trip over it) and walked out. There was meat and milk and frozen food in there. The woman at the express lane was looking at me a bit shocked, as were quite a few of the people in the crowd. And before you point out they were just "short staffed due to sick leave" and I should have been more understanding, I will point out that my son works as a casual checkout operator there and was sitting around on call all day ready to go in if they needed him. He literally lives three minutes away. No calls from them that day or for weeks. The store is part of chain that had a very, very profitable year yet this sort of understaffed chaos has been common there now for months. I've done it before then when I've been patiently waiting my turn in the express queue to be served and just when I get to the front of the queue somebody walks in off the street to buy cigarettes (the cigarettes are sold from a small counter near the express lane) and the checkout operator goes straight over to them and serves them first. That does my head in - why do they get priority over people who have been waiting? Make them line up in the express lane if they want cigarettes. I immediately just left my groceries at the checkout and walked out. As I was walking through the carpark a man yelled out to me and I thought it might be the store manager but it was an old guy who had been in the queue behind me. "Good on you!" he said, "I did the same thing and just left my stuff and walked out!"

"Good on you!" he said, "I did the same thing and just left my stuff and walked out!" Aldi have got these bloody things now and they hardly open the normal tills at all. Although, I was lucky today as a queue was building so they had to open tills one and two so I quickly went over to number one. I won't go on those stupid self service tills unless I really have to, either someone helps me with it and if someone actually does it all for me. I can't see properly anyway without my reading glasses anyway. And, another reason why I hate them so much is because I can't sort out my shopping properly like I can on a normal checkout as obviously I put heavy things at the bottom of my shopping trolly and the rest on top. But I can't do that on one of those self service things as I can't get the heavy things out first when I've got other things on top.

Still on the same topic of self service tills, I use my brain now and get them to do it if I have to go on one. I'm not stupid, anyway it's their job and not mine.
