1) and most recently - self-serve tills in a very busy supermarket are NOT suitable to be played with by a child 'helping' his mother put things through said till when the queue to use these modern miracles is growing. Take the child away from the till, use it yourself and get out of there - that is what it is all about.
2) and just before the above happened - self-serve tills are clever, they can find the bar code on the item if you wave it over the criss-cross red lighty bits... you do not need to find the bar code, flatten it out and press it firmly against the base reader for every item... especially when the queue is growing!3) from yesterday - if you are getting on a train with a bike and at ALL the stations that train stops at people have to get off on the left hand side - do not park your bike in front of the left hand doors and then huff and puff at people who then need you to move your bike so they can get off the train.
4) same train - if there is a young lady who is clearly pregnant, stand the f*ck up and let her sit down. It should not take another passenger (me) to point out her need is greater than yours, you perfectly healthy mid-20's man on your mobile phone.
5) work related - when someone looks busy and is clearly typing something on their computer, do not just assume you and your needs are more important, especially when it relates to the Christmas (f*cking) party, stand there for a few seconds quietly and you will be acknowledged as soon as the busy person is able to...
6) dog walking related - when you park your car do not block the whole pavement AND the sight lines of a junction - one or the other would be bad, both just shows what an inconsiderate tw*t you are.
I think that's it for now - I'm hoping this is a kind of therapy and from now on these irks will simply wash over me - if that happens you can be sure other things will p*ss me off though!
I can't tell you how much I agree with all of these... but especially the self serve tills, they give me all sorts of angst.
