Oh, thought of another one I was at a corner shop once, and took what I wanted to the till only to discover the guy serving me was on the phone. He rang my items through, held his hand out for the money (whilst still using one hand to hold the phone to his ear, and not even bothering to tell me how much my items cost.)
He then proceeded to give me my change, get a plastic bag out from under the counter and toss it on to the counter for me to bag my own items up. I did, then muttered a polite ''thank you'' as I left the shop.
He didn't say a single word to me the entire time, just continued his conversation and acted like I didn't exist. Haven't been back since, because I think it's bloody rude to treat customers like that :mad:
When you are shopping and you only have 1 item, and the person in front of you has enough shopping for the entire country......umm , umm ..And they still won't let you first...:mad:
Also I was shopping yesterday, we were looking for some fresh EGG Lasagne, we couldn't find, so we asked the assistant, she said she would have a look,waiting for nearly 10 mins, she came back "sorry we have none" Well why don't put sign "RUN OUT OF STOCK".........:( :mad:
People who borrow your car and then do things like retune your radio and don't bother to turn the windscreen wipers off when they take the key out of the ignition. Even worse when the wipers are mid-wipe
People who stand incredibly close behind me in the shopping queue. The other day a guy was so close I didn't even have room to turn around to move away from the counter. I wanted to *accidentally* barge into him and say 'Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were stood so close!', but he was about two feet taller than me and smelt of beer....
The mis-use of the word 'colleague'. 'This is a *colleague* announcement'. Or the door which used to be marked 'Staff' is now labelled 'colleagues'. I'm sure it's wrong.
People running to the train whilst carrying their coffee shop drinks....the clue to why they're late is contained within!!
I very rarely see anyone running and shouting at the train driver to 'hold' without some coffee in their hands. It all looks a bit 'precious' and 'entitled' to me to be barging people out the way just because they couldn't live without their coffee.

Indeed. In fact, this whole 'I must always be seen carrying some kind of drink' winds me up no end.
Whenever I open a packet of pills, the damned annoying little folded up 'instruction' leaflet seems to be folded round the end of the pills at the side I open, so I need to pull it out and get rid of it before I can slide the blister pack of pills out. I NEVER seem to open the box at the other end and just ignore the paper.
People who put their feet on the seats on buses and trains.
People who invade your personal 'space' when you are paying and packing for your stuff in the supermarket (trying to make you move so they can get served.)
People shouting into phones in public places, even worse when its in a foreign language.
People on facebook who go for a weekend away and put photos up of their evening meal, the hotel room, the view, the journey etc. Boring.

I hope that makes sense...
You are not alone. This may be just a personal obsession, but I also cut off the flaps of the box so that I'm not fumbling and frabbing whenever I need a tablet.
It's a roof over your car on stilts or attached to a wall, what would you call it? I'm sure you'd find someone calling just a roof 'a garage' naff too?

That happens often in corner shops around us.
I thought I was safe here

People who don't put the flowers back in the water when choosing in supermarkets.
Radio shows. "Welcome to the show"; "on the show today..."
Sorry, I fail to see the problem here?!
People who walk side by side on narrow paths and take no notice of people behind them who are wanting to overtake.
People who 'rescue' animals. No, you usually bought it from some greedy charity paying way over the odds.
:mad:
When the person in front of you at the supermarket checkout doesn't bother placing the 'Next' divider on the conveyor. It's an unwritten rule.
When the person behind you doesn't thank you for placing the 'Next' divider on the conveyor. Rude people make me so mad.

Because it's radio. You're not 'showing' anybody anything, they can't see it.

Carrying a drink and bellowing into a phone usually.
Its still naff.
