Labels and those stringy hanger things.

I swear that one day I will walk up to a random stranger and tuck their bloody label in:rant: And as for those stringy hanger things that you see hanging down from ladies armpits or shoulders, they just look horrendous. Cut them out. They are superfluous. They are hideous.

People who use the self-service check-out at a supermarket when they don't have a f*cking clue how to use it.

It is ALWAYS some stupid fat bint who clearly uses words like "holibobs" and thinks dealyboppers are the height of hilarity. She'll trundle her full f*cking trolley up to the self service checkout. The first item out is without fail a copy of Heat or Okay magazine. She won't know how to scan it so she'll just flair her arm around in front of the scanner like an octopus in a washing machine until finally it scans.

She'll struggle through the next 2815 items in her basket as I slowly realise that it would have been much quicker for me to join the 10 person long queue at the normal checkout then wait behind this monstrous c*nt.

Then at the bottom of her trolley will be one loose piece of fruit, that doesn't have a barcode. She'll spend the rest of the week trying to find the barcode before staring blankly in the direction of somebody who works there, waiting for them to notice her and come to help instead of pressing the assistance button. Finally she'll be shown how to input the item and you can start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Nope. Her Fat, Ugly, Stupid kid will now have to scan an item themselves and despite there now being a queue slightly longer than the Great Wall of China she'll stand there beaming at her moronic offspring trying and failing to scan a Kinder Surprise.

Once this is done all you have left to worry about is how long will it take for her to read "how many bags would you like?" before imputing her answer. It should be simple but I've genuinely been stuck behind people who can't figure it out. They type in "2" then stare blankly at the screen, press cancel and then type in "2" again. PRESS OKAY YOU F*CKING RETARD.

And after all of that, and after she's read her recipt at the checkout, and after she's counted her change and double checked it's enough she finally moves on and I can buy my bottle of water and pack of chewing gum.

that is brilliant! :lolol:

If I didn't know any better, I swear you had been to an American store like Walmart. You have described a typical day there.:clap2:

People getting close to me when there's loads of room elsewhere - train seats, sitting on the next table in a pub when there's loads to choose from.

It's become more of a recent thing and I think I know why now. I guess I just need my own space to relax.

Here's something that annoys me and I'm not even sure my opinion is correct. When someone says:"You've got X choices" where X >1. I reckon there's no such thing as more than one choice. You either have a choice, with however many options, or you don't. Example: Menu has 3 puddings. The customer therefore has a choice of puddings, they don't have 3 choices.

I know I'm over-analysing it and that I'm open to accusations of pedantry but I think there's a philosophical point to be made, namely that it is impossible to have more than one choice. And it irritates me to hear people say "choices", sadly. Yes, I really should get out more.

Waiting staff in restaurants and pubs, when they bring meals out to a table they then ask " would you like any sauce " they then disappear for 5 minutes.
Just put the f***** stuff on the table before the hot food comes out FFS.

I swear this also happens every time I eat out, once I have a mouthful of food, a waiter/waitress will appear out of nowhere and ask me if my meal is ok.
F*** off and let me eat in peace, if I didn't like the food I would have put down my knife and fork and stopped eating. :angry:

People each having to ring the bells on buses when getting off. Seems to happen most on student buses. The bus is only going to stop once, often there is a 'bus stopping' light for those with headphones and yet people still ring the bell even as the bus is slowing down for the stop.

The same at pedestrian crossings. You're standing there next to a quite clearly lit button, yet someone will come up and press it again as if it's going to make the lights change more quickly.

People ringing the bell when the bus is approaching the terminus (don't worry, the driver won't be going any further until he has had a cigarette/piss/done some shopping).
