People who work on the tills in supermarkets who cannot count, or don't understand what to do when you give them a note, plus the odd couple of pence.
Customers in supermarkets who insist on hunting through every pocket and every bag they have to find the odd change when the cashier has a damn drawer full of it and doesn't need you to hold up the queue any longer than you already have by insisting on waiting until everything has been scanned before you even think about looking for your bags (or realising you've left them in the car/at home) and proceed to try and squeeze a week's worth of shopping into a single carrier bag.

Living in France, no ones bothered mate. Remember it's obligatoire here to have to run back out in the shop to get things you forgot the first time, once you've loaded the belt up, keeping everyone waiting and it's also obligatoire to only start hunting for your wallet or purse, after the checkout girl has told you the price, and it's also obligatoire to not move out the way from the till until everything is back in your wallet or purse, all the zips and buttons are done up and it's back in you pocket or bag, all while the checkout girl is scanning away and chucking your groceries down the belt ten to the dozen.addix said:i_b_b_o_r_g said:...

What about when you're waiting behind someone at the "pay at the pump" pumps at the petrol station and they get in and sit in the car for a few minutes while they faff about putting their wallet / purse away etc, giving you the occasional look in the mirror, to make sure you're still sitting their waiting for them.Stuart_the_Red said:

When you leave your yoghurt in the fridge at work that 'goes off' on sunday 1st, but know it'll be fine on Monday 2nd if kept in the fridge. the cleaner clears the fridge on a friday at 2pm, so i put it in there at 4pm friday so that it would not be thrown away. I've come in today and just went to get it, it's not in the fridge (with some fruit that equally would have been fine a day past it's date) it's on the side with a host of mouldy food and has probably been sat there all weekend. That's annoying. Dry granola for breakfast anyone?0

Moss Bros!!
Purchased a suit there the other week where it had to be ordered from another store where I'd be assured that a call would be made letting me know when the items had arrived
No call received so had to chase, no recollection of my order so got a call back to confirm when the items had been found
My wife went along to collect a few days later (I was unwell at the time), nothing could be found so I called them up myself to find out what was going on, would be told I'd receive a call back
Again no call back before the end of play yesterday so called up myself, frustration got the better of me which saw me swear down the phone - Now I've worked in Customer Service so agree its not acceptable, but never have I had a prick who hasnt wanted to drop the subject (of me swearing) and get on with trying to resolve the problem that has caused my anger in the first place, round and round in circles we go for five minutes before he tells me he has my suit in front of him
Wonder when the penny will drop with the Manager that had I received better communication in the first place that the matter of me swearing would never have come up because it would never have happened
On the same note when you ask to speak with someone senior and you find out your speaking to the Manager... "There is no one senior to speak to"
Look mate, I'm talking to someone within a large company here, unless you actually own the whole damned company there is always someone bloody senior to speak to than you!!!0 -

If a pithily worded note on your stuff in the fridge about wastage etc doesn't do the trick - try permanent marker over the dates on the tub/packet. Out of sight might just keep it out of the tiny mind of the wasteful busy body.0 -
