It's not just the ballachingly tedious process of scan, try again because the barcode is crumpled on the mature stilton, or the muppet that wrapped it rolled it around a corner on purpose because they feel threatened by the inevitable automation of the workplace which will see them unemployed as the unstoppable force of the machine replaces the spotty oicke on the first rung of the employment ladder or retiree making some spare cash, leading inevitably to the complete breakdown of civilised society...  And... The place your meaningless consumer addiction on the "bagging area" message, or the call assistance because after 30+ years of purchasing alcohol you need earlier referenced spotty oike to authorise, or the discount isn't properly applied since the stilton should have been sold yesterday, but, since you've got some broccoli in that needs using and a stilton / broccoli soup tickles your fancy as you just happen to be passing the supermarket....  As if ALL that isn't enough to rage you right up, loike, what about the person behind you creeping ever closer even though you haven't moved at all?  Now THAT is what really grates my gears, post office probably the worst - old people creeping ever closer like the unstoppable tide of human oppression - I haven't moved, stop getting closer to me!

 

PS - and those auto pay-in machines at the bank.  Use them and see your local branch closed.  Why do the staff so eagerly set upon you and try and make you use the very facility that will put them out of a job?  No, I'd rather wait in line - just don't let everyone creep closer unless I move - to freaks me out!

You must have better deodorant than me, as normally they keep their distance.

Or when the paper hasn't been ironed before being presented for consumption....

People who drop litter.

People who don't pick up after their dog.

People who think that that dropping cigarette butts on the ground is ok because it is not litter.

People who drive in a 60 at 40 mph and keep driving at 40 when they reach a 30mph limit.

People who are inconsiderate.

 

I can go on but I might get boring.

 

We should go for a pint! It seems we have the same pet hates, I salute you sir

I think pound trolleys are a good thing, Tesco near us doesn't have them and their trolleys are abandoned anywhere despite having a security wheel that is supposed to lock up if you go over the magnetic strip at the end of the car park. I hate it when people leave their no deposit trolley in a parking space after they unload it into their car and drive off.

I don’t begrudge the pound, I just never have one with me. I must be lucky with where I shop as very nearly everyone returns their trolley.

If there were more people working behind the counter in a bank, they'd still punt their products but it wouldn't seem so full on.  The people behind the glass counter have been on commission for years.  You just notice it more when it's not happening all the time.
