When you are in the supermarket queue and some pushy person behind starts filling the conveyor belt with their stuff while you are still unloading so there isn't enough space for your shopping.
![]() Once, in order to make space for me, I took one of those 'next person' stands and swept all the shopping of the person after me backwards into a heap with a 'Scuse me'. She was speechless ![]() ![]() ![]()

Self checkouts blaring "approval needed" for my cough medicine and hot lemon powder. I asked the lady if I needed to sneeze on her to prove that I had a bad cold, or if she'd just take my word for it.

What about those people on Facebook who insist on showing us pictures of food they have eaten ?
![]() either way, yes it's annoying, especially when it's all leaves and healthy stuff and I've just munched down a pizza, great guilt trip, thanks. |

LOL - a friend of mine was on holiday recently, and every pic on FB was food - no views, no selfies - just food!

People who watch numerous shows on Netflix, and are Constantly asking if you have activated your account. Pay the 7 quid tight arse.

This is why I only use facebook to get the facebook messenger app, to keep in contact with my 3 kids, one of whom works abroad so its free messaging.
I would see endless pictures of peoples young children and babies, cute little dogs and fabulous holidays. Mine were grumpy teenagers, we last had a holiday 7 years ago in a rain sodden tent , the 11 yr old dropped the hamster on its head & the pet cat ran away to a neighbour. Their days would be filled with arty shots of Pret coffee, whilst I would still be in my pyjamas at midday washing the dishes or facing bedrooms that looked like the after photos of the Chernobyl reactor core. But back to things that annoy me. Having two sets of neighbours with young kids who are forever knocking toys and balls into my garden. I go outside to throw them back and dont know which garden to throw them into, as neither of them will put initials on despite asking them. Now I wait until they knock on the door and give me a description and take my time fetching it for them and a reminder as they part that if they want it quicker put some damn initials on |

If you notice a similar lag when using applications/right clicking then it's likely your computer rather than the browser causing the delay.
![]() I started keeping my eye open as I said I would, and it turns out it's my mouse at fault - it's a silent clicking one (which I prefer) but the left mouse button doesn't work every time. Oops! Thank you, Evil C! I've ordered a new mouse, so the problem should disappear. |

The fact that it seems like there are people who are more worried about what colour our passports are after we leave the EU than what's going to happen to the EU citizens in this country. Quote:

I never liked watching them either - especially not the "Bake Off" type, where contestants are eliminated on the basis of their cooking. There's no way to judge for yourself whether a contestant deserved to go home or not, unless the main thing is presentation.

Fair-weather 'friends' - when the going gets tough they **** off like a fart in a breeze.

Alrighty, it's time for me to hide my red face and apologise to Chrome for all the bad names I've called it recently.

Tall people with terrible posture. It really irritates me, they look like preying mantis.

Some of the questions/topics raised on this forum really do my head in.

I appreciate your follow up post and well done for detecting the true cause, Relly. I was expecting the guilty party to be the hard disk, so the mouse being the culprit was a total surprise!
![]() When I started watching for it, I noticed that other actions weren't being done when I clicked (left-clicking to drag, left-clicking in games, that sort of thing). Either the click didn't work at all, or it double-clicked when I only wanted one. Funny how I didn't notice it until it was hitting Back on the browser! |

People (usually driving white vans) who activate hazard warning lights when parked in amongst other vehicles.
Firstly, they're not an unexpected hazard (so save it for when it's needed), and Secondly, it looks like they are indicating because they want to pull out. |

The GBBO thread is really irritating me, as it does every year. I enjoy the programme and would quite like to comment sometimes, but I really don't want to wade through pages of bitching about ridiculous things like the shade of someone's lipstick. It seems like for many it's some kind of personality contest, though I think you have to be somewhat mentally challenged to think you have the measure of a contestant after an hour of watching them bake a cake.
Honestly, that thread is a cesspit of insecurity and nastiness. Very bizarre for such a gentle, inoffensive programme. |

From this morning's commute - people who don't put their headlights on when it's foggy. More specifically, people in grey/silver cars who don't put their headlights on when it's foggy. Just because they can see other cars approaching, doesn't make them visible to others.

Going for a meeting supposed to be a female and it turns out to be a geezer at the last minute.
Some of us like to maintain some dignity. |

Or you could always place the spacer in the middle of their heap and pull a bit of their stuff towards you and say, "thanks, I knew I'd forgotten a few things."
