Extremely annoying things that try your patience

It’s a result of us drinking loose leaf tea before tea bags came in
I wish I could say that was the reason. But she’s late 20’s and apart from loose tea in one of those teapots that brews it, she’d have never been near the stuff, so I can’t even put it down to that.
 
The absolute hands down one for me is people who need 'prompting' when using a debit card at a checkout.

They stand and wait to be told to put the card in. Then told to enter pin (despite saying enter pin on reader) then once they have payed stand staring into space waiting for the cashier to say 'remove card' (it says it on display and beeps).

It's not a new thing.... Its been around years😂

I had 3 on the bounce and tesco the other day. Its not f*cking hard.
 
I run a burger van and I hate it when I ask if I can help someone but they try and be clever by ignoring me whilst making a point of studying my menu.
It results in unnecessary awkwardness. All they need to say is that they need a couple of minutes to choose. I mean I'm not a monster, I wouldn't shout at them or hurt them.
 
People who make a noise when eating. Actors who talk when eating. Actors who knock on the door in programmes and when the door opens the person says 'Come on then don't just stand there!' without giving them any time to speak. People who will press the button at the zebra crossing while you are stood there. As if you would be that stupid not to have pressed it yourself! People who have no manners and won't thank you for holding a door open, or letting them go first. Bus drivers who set off when an elderly person hasn't had time to sit down.
 
Overnight/laptop bags/bags on wheels. Carry it you lazy *******.
People saying “can I get....”
Drivers who don’t thank you for giving way.
Consultants.
People who pass your work off as their own, or rely upon you to do their work as they are utterly incompetent.

Where do I stop?
 
Pensioners who shop in the Co-op at Stokesley at dinnertime while people who work are trying to grab a quick lunch. Especially the ones who stand in front of the sandwiches for 5 minutes picking up every sandwich to inspect it before eventually putting the first one of the 53 that they've picked up into their basket.
All I can say is do your shopping at 10.30am or 2pm!
