This doesn't annoy me immensely, but I don't like it very much.
I have a bunch of not very close relatives, cousins, their wives or husbands, their kids and grandkids who IMO mangle their names.
You used to often hear of couples who gave their newborns names that couldn't be shortened, well this bunch broke all the rules.
There is a Kelly, who is always called Kel, a Charlie called Char, a Warren called Wal, which I always thought was short for Walter, and a Zöe, which I think is a nice name, but she is called Zö.
There is a husband and wife friend of all of them named Albert and Debra, they are known as Albs and Debs.
Conversely, in among them is a William, and his parents have made it crystal clear that he must always be known as William, never Will, nor Bill.
Some of them used to call me Tone, but eventually got the message when I consistently blanked them, Tony is okay, as is Anthony, but not Tone.

When you click on a link that says something like "20 things about..." and instead of a page where you scroll down through the 20 things, you have to click on each page ONE BY ONE, each one taking AGES to load up.

In my local shopping centre there's groups of charity carol-singers of a lunchtime. The annoying bit is that when it's men and women singing properly no-one bothers, but when it's primary-school children, most of whom are singing off-key or shouting the words, you can't move for the crowds.

The only acceptable words are either chip butty or cob

Seriously though I've been in a pub today wanting to place a simple order of lasagne, garlic bread and a pint. But the woman in front of me was apparently feeding the 5,000!”

You eat chips on a horse?

That the shops in Northern Ireland don't open until 1pm on Sundays. It's probably the one day where I do actually manage to get up early enough to get stuff done because I've recovered from the weekdays exhaustion and no where is open.

When shoppers, usually older people, at the checkout look at me with one or two items in my hand, yet still push ahead with their massive trolleys.

Two of our shops here don't have express or self-service lanes so everyone is thrown in together. If I ever have more than a handful of items, I'll always see if the person stuck behind me has less and if so, let them go first. Everyone seems greatful for this as no one wants to wait for a fortnight worth of shopping before they can just pay for a loaf of bread. Do people return this gesture? Never!

My local Aldi is the worst for this, don't know whether these people are genuinely oblivious or just don't care.

When you finally find a parking space and are clearly reversing into it when a cheeky git just drives past and takes it!!

I think you mean "Bregzit" ... though if you think of it as "Br + Exit " then that's exactly how it should be pronounced!

Our local Aldi does this too. Is it an Aldi thing? Then again I notice it in a lot of smaller shops (like SPAR) too. Everyone seems to have this "me first, don't care about anyone else" attitude yet will hold their own pity party if it ever happens to themselves.

I'm very sorry that this happens to you, Kelly. My wife and I shop in ALDI every week, and we always check to see if there is someone behind with just a couple of items, and let them through. Sometimes, it can be two or three people we let go before us.

This is just plain good manners, and I am sorry that people don't do that for you. Our usual checkout assistant is a Latvian girl, and she is really fast, so we are more than happy to co-operate with other shoppers who are usually on their way to work, while we are retired.

And it's clear why they do it - there's an advert on each page, so by splitting it up into 20 pages rather than putting them all on page means that they get 20x the revenue for each person that makes it to the end.

What's the relevance of mentioning this?

I'm not offended. Just unsure why they mention that she's Latvian.

Well, why on earth should I not mention it? She is very pleasant, very quick, and deserves to be mentioned.

I hope that you are not playing the PC card.

Is it? I've never said Egzit in my life. Exit means exit.
