Needing a poo just after getting out of the bath in the morning.

Palace scoring in the seventh minute of injury time and their fans celebrating like they've won the Premier League.

Vaginal dryness.

Flyers for Christmas.

Cars hooting.

When going to the self scan part of a supermarket, then putting your bag in the bagging area before starting to scan, only for the machine to say....
"Unidentified item in the bagging area"

Yes it's a f**king bag you stupid machine

When you purchase say, a couple of drinks at The Amex and it comes to £11.10.

You proffer £21.10 in legal tender, dribbling in anticipation of a crisp, plastic Ayrton.

"Sorry, no notes" so get a pocketful of shrapnel in the form of 10 x £1 coins.

Barber OUT.
 


Not being able to get all the digital clocks in the kitchen (2 x ovens, microwave, phone and scales) to click over at the same time when you adjust them to/from BST.

Car drivers hooting at any hour, when collecting.

Rude people failing to use please and thank you (or equivalents) to retail staff.

Drivers not thanking you for pulling over to let them pass.

Opposition teams taking ages on throw ins (Warnock teams spring to mind).

Hitler-esque referees making games all about them.

You have a clock on your kitchen scales? Pray tell - why?

On topic: people who say “pray tell”.

Lazy people who can't be bothered to put shopping trolleys into designated bays but leave them anywhere in the car park to either block spaces or to move about in the wind so they hit parked cars

Goalkeepers in different kits to their team mates.

Bring back green shirts and matching kit to the outfield players.

People who have 'No turning here' signs on their drives, which instinctively makes me turn even if I wasn't planning to, which then makes me go in the wrong direction so turn in their neighbours drive as well................That'll teach em

Things that cost £X.99p. Just round it up to the nearest quid and be done with it. A wallet full of change is heavy. Especially when it never adds up to enough for a parking meter so you end up over paying because it doesn't give change.

Following on. Getting to a car park and it costs 80p per hour. You have 80p in change but 20p is useless as it doesn't accept anything under a 5p coin.

Supermarket cashiers who either decide to load the bags for me - unaware that I am better than them at it, or that I wouldn't leave a supermarket with a newspaper at the bottom of a full bag - or provide a bag after all items have been whizzed through at a lightning pace, leaving me to seem a dawdler if I expertly pack, causing me to become a flinger and a shover to deflect the hateful stares from the next person in the queue.

"Thanks for packing my bag but I wouldn't personally have put fresh tomatoes, soft cheese and a bag of crisps UNDERNEATH 8 cans of lager and a bottle of wine. You ****."
