'Loosing' still p***ing me off.
There should be a tax for everyone that spells losing with two 'o's - 50p every time.

Mr PB at self-service checkouts!
He insists on using them even when he has far too much stuff and should go through a proper checkout. Scanning our shopping turns into a precarious balancing act trying to fit it all on the scales which it turn takes flippin ages and involves the nice lady having to come over and sort us out. Grrrrrrrrr |

People who ring radio stations & say, "thanks for taking my call"!
![]() Do these people think that the host is doing them a favour? They're paying for the call & if they didn't phone the said host or station, that presenter would probably be out of a job. |

The fact that the wrap I've just had is gluten free. It was marked clearly but I didn't notice. There is little enough choice for non-meat/fish eaters (I know I can make my own but there are occasions when you want a wrap or sandwich) and now, it seems, half of them are to be gluten-free (based on no evidence, just a bit irritated. The bread wrap thing was horrid).

People who have a whole conversation with the checkout person because they know them while theres a huge queue waiting to be served. There was about 5 people behind me we all had a trolley full of shopping and the operator was going so slow because they were talking to their friend. When they'd finished scanning they carried on talking before the woman even attempted to get her purse out then when she'd paid she still stood there talking. In the end I said "excuse me are you done? we've been waiting a while" and people behind me agreed and the shopper said "im talking to my friend so you mind!" (all indignant!). I said "yes actually I do, shes working do it on your time not ours".
She stomped off and my produce got slammed down and practically thrown towards my bags so I complained at the service desk on the way out. I wouldn't usually but she really pissed me off practically throwing my receipt at me. |

Gangs of chicken children dressed in all of their 'street gear', cluttering the city up and behaving like zoo animals. Normally found congregating around the entrances to McDonalds.

Tablets which come in the horrid plastic stuff which you have to push out with your thumb. The latest lot which I have for my fibromyalgia are near on impossible to push out. Even worse are capsules which break leaving powdered medication everywhere. Bring back the old fashioned brown bottles, they could still be recycled.

The Omelette Challenge on Saturday Kitchen.
Everything about it irritates me, from the hysterical music to the gong, when the two chefs splat an inedible gunk of raw eggs onto plates. Then smug James Martin will nibble at them before pretending they were in any way cooked. Every week I hope he comes down with food poisoning. |

Micky Flanagan explains chicken children best.. They behave like zoo animals in that they are normally in loud, numerous packs and think nothing of hurling gibberish at passers by.
Caveat Of course stereotyping is wrong in normal life

Bus passengers who spend the whole journey having a loud conversation. When I go home on the bus at the end of the day I like nothing more than to put my headphones on and listen to some good music but almost every journey seems to have two people who will sit and yak together for the entire time.

Standing behind someone at a cash machine pees me off when they seem to be going through a collection of cards - checking balances etc.

Well done you. I've found when this happens it's often another member of staff that's the shopper - either going through in their break or on their day off.

Yes! I'm not normally a reporting staff type of person but the cashiers attitude throwing my shopping around etc just pissed me off really
![]() After thinking about it I emailed the store customer service about it. It wasn't so much that she didn't know her stuff, it was the attitude. |
