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 hate the change thing too. If they go to do that i close my hand as soon as the note is put on it, then make them wait whilst i put that in my wallet and then hold out hand for the coins.
In shops where they pack you purchases, like clothes, and they give all change in your hand in one go then i slowly put my money away, put purse in bag, do bag up etc etc before taking the bag of shopping from them. If they are going to waste my time then i shall waste theirs :)

ha ha, both these things are little irritants of mine panic button!
Have you ever had a tin with a ring pull on it that has snapped off? annoying!!!!

[ummmm]

I can never find a pen and it drives me mad.....I end up writing cheques in felt tip

I keep spilling drinks on my keyboard

And I always lose my car keys

I am waiting for a shop assistant to say they do it on purpose to punish us for giving �20 notes for milk and a couple of things.

Come on Dotty, say it.

I really really hate it in the supermarket when you are at the till, still packing and someone goes and stands right where you need to, to pay. I had one woman once, virtually with her chin on my shoulder cause she wouldnt stand back! So impolite! I could feel my blood pressure rising and was happy that i wasnt paying by credit card and having to punch my numbers in one of those machines. She would have seen every number so clearly! Luckily for her, i am not rude and dont like saying anything. I just silenty seethe.

julie, next time just step backwards suddenly and stand on their foot. :)
I hate people who walk in front of you and suddenly stop for no reason other than to chat. Those that block the aisles in supermarkets by chatting and allowing the kids to play with the trolleys whilst they catch up with someone they havnt seen for 2 days.

I can't say this too many times - crisps, flaming CRISPS at work.

Everybody brings a bag in, so it's continuous. The wrinkling and rustling of the bag, the CRUNCH CRUNCH MUNCH MUNCH as the moron stares glazed at the pc screen and rustle rustle rustle CRUNCH CRUNCH MUNCH MUNCH. Apples as well.

We need Loosehead on 'Women in supermarket queues'. You know, oh is it time to pay, I'd better find my purse then, it's conveniently at the bottom of my huge shopping bag, then I'll open it slowly and bring out a CHEQUE BOOK. I need a walk in the sunshine.

I get annoyed with that too, also in Morrison's I am busy trying to pack the shopping, put my money away and make sure the kids are still standing next to me and you can guarantee the woman on the checkout will start shoving the person in the queue behind Me's shopping on top of mine.
I also get annoyed when people with a big load of shopping in their trolley ignore the hand baskets only sign and shove their shopping on in front of me, I always say in a very loud voice to who ever is listening 'Some people are so ignorant cant they see this is for baskets only?'.

Might as well get it off my chest Iceland, I hate going in my local sore because you cannot get in any of the freezers these days, because they have cages stacked in front of them. There was 15 out on Friday and it is quite a small store. It is getting like that every time I go in so rang up and reported them to head office. Still waiting for my reply though.

[ummmm]

Blossom Hill have changed the corks which makes the bottle harder to open

We could make an episode of 'Grumpy Old Men and Women'

[ummmm]

Yea, maybe if you cheered up your wife would have sex with you.....;-) lol

Also, I go to Sainsbury's, when I arrive there are no queues. I dash round in 3 minutes flat for the less than 10 items I need, get back to the checkouts - queues 20 deep. Also, why is it that whenever I go down an aisle, the world and his wife decide they want to occupy the same piece of floor, scuse me please scuse me please scuse me. Bog off !

Every morning I text my best friend with Annas 'Thought for the Day'

Todays was: Why do Mums walking their kids to school insist on taking up the entire path, leaving me to walk on the mud on my way to work, when they could actually MOVE and let me pass. It's just manners right?!

[drchasuble]

I guess it's so you can see all the change. If they put the coins in your hand first and then put the note on top you'd then take longer to check whether it's all there or not.
They should put your change in a dish like they do in France.

I'm a bit of a stickler for correct terminology, I hate people saying PIN number when it should just be PIN. I hate should 'of' instead of should 'have'. That kind of jazz really.

And I'm with unruliejulie on the personal space issue too. Some guy squeezed his fat carcass into the already too crowded tude carriage this morning and stood so close to me his belly was squashing my breasts and he was huffing his breath in my face. I don't think he was "getting off" on it, it was just an alarming lack of respect for a person's personal space.

[spurslady]

The biggest thing that gets me down is when someone puts all their shopping on the conveyor belt then decides to go off and get more! Bugs me, the last time it was a woman who worked in the store she was gone for ages and barged her way through the queue then gave everyone an evil look for daring to look at her. I called her a stupid cow just loudly enough under my breath.

I agree with the thing about people letting their kids run riot with a trolley, I hate it and the people blocking your way for a chat arrrggghhh Shopping what a pain in the Ar$e it is!!!!

[whiffey]

I do this, try it. At the checkout, you know the way people try to load their shopping up on to the conveyor as soon as that little space appears as it moves forward. Well, don't. When it's your turn, wait. Let the conveyor edge forward, a foot at a time, so there are 2 feet of free space, then 3 feet, but don't load your shopping. You will feel the unrest and anger in the queue behind you. Turn round and smile benignly at them. Don't load your shopping until the very very last minute. A laugh a minute when I go shopping. And I *always* pay cash.

[indieanna86]

And will someone ban kids from wearing those trainer/skate things in supermarkets and shopping centres!!!!

[ummmm]

People who don't indicate at mini roundabouts

[spurslady]

indieanna86 - We are not all like that. I always let people pass by me if they are going faster then what we are. I make sure that myself and the children don't block anyone's way when we walk to school So that someone does not have to walk in the road, step in dog muck or a puddle

But there are mum's that don't give a stuff and walk side by side with pushchairs and don't care for other pedestrians that is just bad manners.
