Things that irradiate you more than they should

When you're making a detour round the back of a car that's waiting to pull out of a sidestreet, only for it to drive off while you're half-way round, leaving you to walk the other half of a now unnecessary semicircle looking like someone who just can't walk straight.

I don't know why, but it bugs the shit out of me. And if, as today, the car has a 'Thank God for Jesus' sticker in the back window, well, that's just adding insult to injury.


#2

You're stuck in the fourth place of a seemingly interminable check-out queue at the supermarket, while the woman at the front takes ages getting out her purse to pay. She hasn't packed half her stuff in to bags yet, which means more delays, and then she decides that she does have the cash with her and doesn't want to pay by card any more.

As you stand there tutting, hope arrives! A girl is taking a seat at the checkout to your left and opening the till. "Do you want to come over?" she says vaguely to the assembled queue. This is when the cunt at the back of the queue legs it across and gets served immediately while you wait a further 10 minutes, just for being fucking polite and not barging across to your left immediately the new till opens.

This really annoys me. And it always happens. Every time.


#3

This one's old cat, but it doesn't get any less annoying. Ansd it's always ladies that do it.

1.Lady at cashpoint machine in front of you.
2.Lady spends 4 minutes searching for her card in her purse whilst hogging the cashpoint instead of stepping aside and letting you use it whilst she rifles through her Dorothy Perkins/Aldi cards.
3.Lady finds card.
4.Lady tries 40 different combination of PIN numbers before getting to teh correct one.
5.Lady gets to main menu and decided she would like to check her balance. Lady checks balance.
6.Lady decides that balance on screen alone isn't good enough and requires a blanace on slip. Lady has to remove card and repeat stage 4.
7. Lady decides that maybe a mini statement would be nice. Removes card. Repeats stage 4.
8. Lady decides that she would like some money out of the magic money machine. Lady spends a good 3 minutes deciding on how much she needs to spend on cleaning products and tampons that day.
9. Lady decides on how much money she would like and presses button. The magic machine asks "would you like a receipt?" This throws lady into panic. She presses every button on the keypad. This causes a delay in her cash being dispensed.
10. Lady walks away from machine huffing as though machine is some kind of fool, blissfully oblivious to the fact that she has made 5 other people very late for work/miss half of their lunch break.

Fucking slag.


#4

Sitting in a quiet pub enjoying a chat with some friends. A couple of drinks have loosened up the tongues and everyones having a good time. And then without any sudden rise in the population of the pub, a member of staff decides the best way to impress the existing customers is to play 50 Cent or some other illiterate thug at 2000 decibels forcing everyone to go somewhere else instead.

    When you start running across a big road cos there's traffic coming and you're in a hurry, only to have the lights go red and all the cars stop when you're halfway across, leaving you looking like some numpty who runs across pedestrian crossings all the time just for the fun of it.
