What minor things annoy you

[Spider]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet: people who let their kids go right up to the baggage reclaim roundabouts at airports. It's f***ing busy, everyone is trying to get a space to get their bag, and you have kids dicking around. I know when I was a kid I'd have loved to go to the carousel, but I was told to sit and wait cos it's too busy and the bags are too heavy!

Also HATE how long people take at cash machines. How long does it take? Plus, why are people constantly suprised by the order that things come out of the machine? Hand over card slot, as soon as you can grab that, then grab your money and walk away whilst putting it in wallet.

HATE newsagents who talk on the phone whilst serving me. Also HATE people in shops who moan about giving you change. Firstly, because most of the time it's stupid anyway (they wouldn't have moaned if I'd given them a tenner, but if I give them £20 it's a massive deal even though the only additional change required is a ten pound note. Mainly though, it's because where I work we have enough change to satisfy demand. It does cost a bit, but if you can't be bothered to have some change in the tioll why should I bother finding the correct change and not just going to another shop?


Finally, I hate dozey barmen/maids who don't seem to be able to function on more than one thing at a time. Ie. Payment by card - stand watching the card machine; standing next to the till whilst pouring a pint, but not thinking of ringing the order through; asking what the next person wants whilst one person fiddles around looking for change; worst of all, not being able to do SIMPLE Maths and knowing the price BEFORE they have to go all the way to the till and back to tell you. Seriously, the amount of people who can't seem to add the cost of 2 £2.80 pints so the customer can be finding money as the drinks are being poured is absurd.

add that to bar staff who serve by "section" and not who has actually been standing there longer.

Getting stuck in a copper mine for three months.

having to go to old trafford is surely worse?

 

[SNOOBS]

People who get annoyed with people taking an extra minute or so at a cashpoint - does it really matter?

Having said that slow drivers annoy me no end, although it probably only costs a few minutes.

People who say "them" when they mean "those"

People who don't let you finish what you are saying, or completely interrupt you.

 

[HseagullsH]

1) Chavs who go around looking for trouble for no apparent reason apart from having desperately sad lives and have nothing else to do.
2) Ugly sluts who then get attention from desperados as they are wearing little clothing and are smothered in fake tan.
3) Lengthy delays on trains and then trains terminating prematurely forcing an unnecessary change of platforms

Traffic lights - We have ten times the number of traffic lights we actually need. Traffic lights on roundabouts are the worst. Waht a waste of time. Drives me crazy

Totally agree. Driving from the old Goldstone ground to Kingston Lane you must go through about 20 sets of lights including pedestrian crossings with lights. It seems every time they build a retail park, recycling centre etc. they feel the need for yet more lights. I don’t know why they don’t let us do what they do in the States where you can make a right turn (would be left in the UK) against a red light when your route ahead is clear. They brought it in as a petrol / pollution saving measure as it avoids having stacks of cars waiting at red lights when the road ahead is empty. I know the lights are supposed to have sensors which should change when there is no traffic but they never seem to work.

Customers who expect you to know every single item you sell and where it is precisely located within a large supermarket.

People (usually foreign) waiting around for up to 2 hours for you to complete the final reductions in said supermarket.

Customers who ask if we have any more "said item" out the back, even though it clearly says out of stock over the price ticket.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Cnuts on shop tills who first put your receipt in your hand then put your change on top of the receipt.

That's how cashiers are trained. Receipt first (folded usually), then vouchers if any are given and then change into the hand.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Customers asking something that's nothing at all to do with my department, how the f*** am I meant to know?

 

[Bulldog]

People in a hurry when i have plenty of time

People who have plenty of time when i am in a hurry

Religion

People who say - 6AM in the morning! I bloody know AM is in the morning, no need to say it twice.

People who think the words are spelt Nothink and Skelington instead of Nothing and skeleton.

Shop workers who try to pretend they didn't know you were there

Morrisons in St James st when the place is heaving and half the checkouts are closed.

Closed down pubs, especially ones that have been about for a century or more, can never be replaced.

Brussels money grabing politicians

Italy

Beggers mainly the ones sitting next to the Cashpoint

Snobs, people that think they were born better than others

People who hang back when it's their round, hoping you wont notice

 

[hitony]

Customers asking something that's nothing at all to do with my department, how the f*** am I meant to know?

How are they meant to know it's not your department?

Dangerous drivers

The twat who walks round preston park in the mornings using one of those battery powered shavers whilst walking his dog with a "oh look what i can do" attitude

Bullies

Vandals

People with no respect

People with no manners

People who think they're better than everyone else (ie most of the residents of Lewes)

Cyclists who ride on the pavement

People who don't clear up after their dogs.

People who thinks dogs are more important than people

There'll be more

How are they meant to know it's not your department?

I work on/manage the Produce department. You will only find me down the aisles of Produce. How am I meant to know if we're still doing an offer on Daz washing powder which is right at the far other of the store.

[Cappers]

People who drive with just their sidelights on. WTF ITs dark, or the lights are covered in snow, cant be arsed to scrape it off, not woth having. Why can you put your headlights on then? Do they think thy are saving electricity or something. A thimblefull of fuel saved at most. Their excess would cost more when they have their accident, as they cant be seen.

Foglights and sidelights, what tw@ts!
