I'm on a photography forum and feel the same way about people who spell lens as "lense"

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).

I see 'top draw' a lot on here. Flipping well annoys me.

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.

What are "chicken children" and in what way do they behave like zoo animals?

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.

I know! Who can judge the mess as cooked? I certainly wouldn't accept it in a restaurant.

No they didn't and yes you would.

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.

Observational genius

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.

Or the favourite. I'm a first time caller, also first time poster. Did you want a medal? Or a balloon.

What a ridiculous post. Why would I lie? I'm not some troll who makes ups stories about my life/partner/diseases etc. It was annoying as she was taking so long and this thread was about things that annoy you. Stop being a wally.

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.

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

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

I think it's usually that they are nervous and are worried they might not handle it very well.

I asked a supermarket pharmacy for some Migraleve Pink which is the one that includes an anti nausea med. The assistant tried to sell me their own brand co-codamol telling me they were the same thing. When I said they weren't she grabbed the packet in a really bad tempered way to read the labelling. On finding she was wrong she didn't say a word and practically threw the purchase at me.
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.
