Nail on head. If you have everything ready to go and pack and pay efficiently then it takes no time. I swear I could pay for three people's shopping in the time it takes some people just to load the belt with a similar amount in one go...Talal said:

WHY CANT YOU JUST ADD EVERYTHING ONTO ONE BILL & SETTLE UP LATER. You have an itemised bill - just look at it when you get home, add up the 3 or 4 items & get the person to pay you what is owed. Its not hard....,..AND IT SAVES TIME.0 -

When the computer resets something by it's own "free will".
We run the laptop into the tele via HDMI cable; this morning, out of the blue, the sound was coming out of the laptop rather than the TV. I went online and found out what to do, which involved going into a window to reset the output in a place that neither of us had ever seen before, so it cannot possibly be anything either of us had done.

Arrogant arseholes who sit outside in a residential road and hoot repeatedly to attract the attention of the person they want rather than shift their lazy selves out of their cars and ring the bell or knock on the door of the relevant house.13

When you're walking through a shop or a street and some tart is staring at a display but is slowly walking backwards so you try to go around them but as soon as you go past they decide to take a giant step backwards and clatter into you.3

Personal Trainers!cabbles said:When you've got many cliches in the gym playing out as possible. 2 girls with a Personal trainer, they're more dicking about chatting, taking photos etc than actually doing anything, and the personal trainer is walking round talking on his mobile phone to his 'blood' rather than actually train them
Using the training slot to smarmily chat up their attractive girl clients sporting 'yoga pants' and a face full of make-up (yeah, ok that's probably just jealousy).
Actually, the worst thing is the semi-aggressive sales pitch you get if you accidentally meet eyes with one... "Hey man, what are you working on today?" - "sod off"6 -

Some will give you tips etc for free to draw you in.
If you say "nah sorry, not interested in PT" they will generally back off...
It's these ones that piss me off:

People who cram onto the bottom deck of a double decker bus yet forget there are seats galore upstairs on the bus. Those same people then also resort to standing on the stairs and generally getting in the way when you want to get off.3

That moment when you think you’ve finished clearing up, but realise you haven’t.
Most commonly experienced after dinner with the washing up, but can also be felt following DIY projects.
Possibly the most annoying though, is the annual one at Christmas. Last year I boxed all the stuff up, placed it on the landing under the loft hatch, got the step ladder, put it away and returned the step ladder.
Pleased with the return of my clutter free space I sit down to watch TV, only to discover the hitherto friendly, smiling faces of Santa and Rudolph leering at me like demented, macabre beings. I swear I also heard the haunting strains of Damien’s devil music Carmen Burana.

Wanting to go to a new website when in the car on my phone yet cant because the Google Maps navigation notification covers the address bar for an age as we're coming to the next instruction!!
Piss off out the way, I know the way to go
(Before I get sarcastic remarks, Im the passenger so not trying to drive at the same time, no Im not trying to watch PornHub and I have the navigation on (despite knowing the route anyway) because it allows me to keep an eye the route in case of bad traffic or accidents)1 -

I load the trolley and then the belt in the order I want to pack. It saves time and makes it easier for me. And then the dimwit behind the till decides to reach over the bag of spuds and the tins to scan some fragile stuff that I put last. Drives me mad and I just don't understand why they do it.Algarveaddick said:

HGVs in rush hour traffic.
There's a narrow main road that many motorists use in the morning and evening during rush hour. It is just about two cars wide so traffic can go normally but it is double yellow lines all the way up for this express reason: if anyone parks up, traffic comes to a grinding halt.
Not sure why HGVs think they are exempt from this rule. I understand the newsagent needs deliveries but surely this could be done any time other than rush hour? Maybe a penalty of £10,000 each time a commercial vehicle parks illegally would stop this nonsense.0 -
Not just that Fiish but Bexley Council seems to think that 8.00 a.m. is a great time to send the road sweepers out so that they can create the biggest tail back possible whilst it creeps along at 10 mph! And don't get me started on those idiots on horses going across Chislehurst common at rush hour.1
