Yes, that is the height of bad manners and VERY annoying! I usually make a point of taking as long as I can to pay, so they have to wait.

There are also the ones who put down a divider and start unloading their stuff before you have finished emptying your trolley. I have now taken to standing on guard at the start of the conveyor belt as I unload my stuff to make sure they don't get any space to do this.

Radio presenters on 5 Live now refer to their programmes as 'shows'. Makes me cringe. What's wrong with programme?

Any use of the word 'genre'. Shudder.

Traffic light junctions that clearly haven't been phased properly, or junctions where you have to sit through a whole change, even though it's 2 in the morning and there's no other bugger around.

I could write a lot more, but anyone who reads this and knows me will realise who wrote this.

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 ”

That happens often in corner shops around us.

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...

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".........

Radio shows. "Welcome to the show"; "on the show today..."

Sorry, I fail to see the problem here?!

People who use the word 'grow' out of context as in 'I want to grow my savings'. You grow plants - not money!

People who take their dogs to car-boot sales.

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.

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

Police spokespeople over-using the word "clearly" when giving a press statement.

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.

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.

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

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.

Carport USUALLY means "garage without walls"

Carrying a drink and bellowing into a phone usually.

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.

I hope that makes sense...

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.
