    The lack of escalating stairs at Covent garden tube always pisses me off. Especially when you forget how much it burns your legs or get stuck behind a slow coach who is out of breath and stopping after 7 stairs

    Tesco Metro and The Co-op always changing the shelves.
    When you're at the Gym working on one of the stations and someone asks how long you are going to be.

    Or “can I work in with you?”. How hard is it to wait 5 minutes??

    People who willingly allow themselves to get so unhealthy they become a drain on the NHS purely as a result of not moving enough and eating far too much. 

    Spoke to someone today that's had tens of  thousand of pounds in attempted treatments to stop their greedy ways with food. 19 Stone, still eating crap and even said they're looking forward to their Kebab tonight!

    Yeah with a massive queue and wait for it. I don't go to Covent garden much but every time I think that the stairs cannot possibly be as burny as last time and a better option than waiting for the lift and every time I'm proven wrong

    I’ve said this before, but it still annoys me:
    In restaurants, when the staff come up to you asking if everything’s ok. This afternoon, we were interrupted 4 times. We only had one course.
    FFS if everything’s not ok, I’ll get your attention. Leave me alone. I don’t want to have to engage in conversation with a stranger, particularly when my mouth has food in it.

    This can’t be something that doesn’t bother many people, surely? I find it infuriating.

    I think asking once is acceptable.

    They always seem to ask as the fork covered in food just hits your tongue too... They want you to do that awkward fast chew just to say "yeah fine".

    Sounds like they ruined your lunch.

    Is everything ok now?

    Ha! Yeah, I’ve calmed down now...  :D
    Seriously though, it doesn’t ruin it, but it is annoying. Someone said further up that once is acceptable. I’d say, yeah that’s fair enough, but it’s no more than acceptable. It’s certainly not required. 
    Does anyone consider the service to be poor if they don’t ask you if everything’s ok? I don’t know, maybe a lot of people do?

    Oh, I forgot to mention, the four times we were asked - was by three different people - two waiting staff and one manager. I don’t know if that’s better or worse, to be honest!

    Maybe I should’ve asked for the chef. It would’ve been like that Monty Python sketch.

    I don't mind them asking the question if they genuinely want to know the answer, but it's so often done in a feckless manner that belies lack of real care and even contempt for the customer. I had one incident a while back (I think I posted about it here) where some poor kid got in a right tizzy when I used her question as an opportunity to complain. She actually said to me "I don't know what to do", at which point I suggested going to the kitchen to sort the matter out. Another time the  person concerned (different person), just walked off as I was talking.  At which point I said "you're not listening to me are you". It was loud enough for the people on the next tables to turn around and look, but apparently not loud enough to penetrate the skull of the waitress who was satisfied that she'd asked a question that she never wanted to know the answer to anyway.
