Little annoyances

[Panic Button]

Do you have little things that bug you?

I just went to the shop for milk and a couple of things. Only had a �20 note. Why do the assistants put your notes in your hand and then coins on top? They almost skid off as you try to get the coins to put in your wallet and then the notes.

Got home and made a cup of tea. Opened the milk, but couldn't find the tab to pull to tear off the foil lid. It has only stuck to the lid and torn off as I unscrewed it.

Aaaah!

I don't actually do any of these things, I am just proxying for those donkeys that do.

Here's another good one though. Pick a slightly dented can or something flavoured, from the very farthest end of the store, make sure it is the last item through the scanner, then say 'sorry it's dented, could you get someone to change it for me please' or 'sorry I didn't want this in strawberry I really wanted chocolate, could you get someone to change it for me please'. Then on goes the little flashing light at the checkout as it takes endless minutes for someone to run and change it. Why am I always the next person in the queue when this happens ?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, switch on the pop-up blocker in your browser, although you might have to selectively allow them for certain sites, internet banking sometimes usus them.

When you are shopping and you stand holding the door for someone behind you rather than the door fly back in their face who then walks past without thanking you, followed by the next person and the next person and the next person. After feeling like a doorwoman in one shop I held out my hand for a tip whilst loudly and sarcastically saying "thank you!" much to my friends' everlasting embarrassment.

[Panic Button]

Oh God, what have I done?

[naz_nomad]

if I'm kneeling in the front garden doing some weeding, I can guarantee someone will walk past and say, ''say one for me while you're down there''.

Ok, I will .... PI$$ OFF !!!

[ummmm]

I know Panic.......I'm in a bad mood now thinking of all the little annoyances in this world

And it's YOUR fault

[naz_nomad]

Panic Button ... you've opened a Pandora's box of grumpy old ******** ...

[redcrx]

fancy asking such a question when everyones got the monday syndrome Panic lol

zimzam, i do same as you when ive opened the door and held it open for people (usually with my pushchair too) who dont thank me. it was a line of 3 teenagers yesterday following a young couple and they all walked through without even touching the door. i felt awful when the last lad got knocked with it. I had to let it go as there was a queue of people wanting me to move the pushchair. grrrrrr.

..and another thing ... damn answerbank filters that take out legitimate words from a post and replace them with stupid stars ...

My old boss had two games he played when supermarket shopping :

1. Doing all his shopping by picking items from other folks trolleys, or

2. If he came across people chatting and blocking an aisle, he used to find a VERY expensive item, hide it in their trolley and watch the embarassment at the checkout !

[Panic Button]

Cheered me up though. My stomach muscles ache from laughing

[redcrx]

lol scotman, what brilliant ideas lol

[ummmm]

My uncle does that to me......he puts big knickers and stuff in my trolley then disappears when I'm at the check out

[naz_nomad]

Scotman, that's brilliant ... I'll certainly remember that for when me & Julie go on our grumpy gits shopping spree.

a few years ago at christmas, my in laws went for the xmas food shop and this woman took the last bag of brussel sprouts from under their noses. She literally made a grab for them and was quite rude about it. They bided their time and when she went off to fetch something else my father in law had them away out of her trolley and into his own!!!! sucess!!!!!!!!

[unruliejulie]

Naz, its a date! lol

I hate that when too holding the door for an old bid and they ignore you, Or if you say hello to someone you know in the street and they ignore you, I shout 'Well fcuk you too you miserable old t*at'.

People blocking the car in on the drive when there is plenty of space for them to park elsewhere( My next door neighbours stuck up headmistress daughter does it). Stupid bl00dy mothers/fathers who park on the yellow zigzags outside school making it so you have to take the pushchair into the road just to get into the school gates because they are too lazy to walk.

Stupid prats talking away on mobiles when they are driving. People that don't stop at the zebra crossing when they are supposed to, or drive through the red light/green man on a pelican crossing I swear at them all. One of these days I will probably be involved in a road rage case when they stop to confront me. grrrrr

[whiffey]

People who double-park outside Londis, oh but it's ok because I put my hazard warning lights on !! No it isn't . Putting hazard warning lights on is just another way of saying I'm about to do something extremely selfish or illegal.

[dogfish]

People who don't acknowledge that you've let them out at a junction.
Dogs...you can't even eat them, so why keep one?
Waiting more that a minute to have my pint poured.

[whiskeysheri]

It's the personal space thing for me, too (Hi, Jules! :o)).

There was one particular woman behind me in the queue at the bank the other day. All I had to do was move my foot an inch and she'd move a whole person's worth closer to me. It made me feel so uncomfortable, I really obviously stood to the side of the line and even then she followed me!

I must've been glowing red when I got to the cashier. I'd love to say something, but never have the guts. :o(
