Random and pointless things which still annoy you. 19:30 - Feb 25 with 37075 viewsMattinLondon

Just been to Sainsburys where a man grabbed a sandwich and a can of coke and devoured both before going to the tills and paying for both.

For some reason this annoys me despite it having absolutely no relevance to me at all.

Just wondered if anything else pointlessly annoys other posters?

He may well have been diabetic, he combined long and short acting carbohydrates, although he may well have used orange juice rather than coke for the quick acting sugar kick.

I'd agree with that. And why not bring over the card machine at the same time? Otherwise you have to look about for someone twice just to fecking pay. Last time I was eating out I swear the bill/payment thing took longer than the meal.


Yes this is one that always annoys me. Can ruin what has been a good nights service by taking an age to come over with the bill/card machine.

People eating as they go around a supermarket, definitely p1$$ me off. Also, people who eat food in the kitchen before it is served. Just wait 20 seconds till it is served for f++ks sake.


People who lean on their elbows to push their supermarket trolley. How hard can it be to stand upright and steer. You won't have noticed this before but you will now.

Be fair mate.

Asking for the bill in a restaurant and then having to wait ages for it.
I asked because I want to leave, you are now stopping me from doing that which is reducing my impression of the service which may have been brilliant up to that point.


Waiters chasing me down the road shouting - when it should be obvious I don't want to pay the bill

OK, while we're at it -

Men getting in the car after paying for their fuel, and then 9 years go by before they drive away from the pump.

Men in supermarkets who always seem surprised that they have to pay. And THEN start to rummage about among bags and purses to see which card they are then going to use.

Using the word ‘Bang’ to emphasise a point.

eg. ‘Kayden Jackson is a bang average striker’

Stop it, it’s ridiculous.

People who post up dubious nonsense and think puting the word Fact at the end makes it correct.

And waiting staff don't bring over the card machine because too many will then spend another 10 minutes haggling among each other over it.

Which might explain where it is.

I know people in real life who do that and it leaves an awkward silence in which you're not sure if you should tell them.

"*Some old sh1t they've made up*. Fact!"

You know it's not factual and you could even talk them through it, but when/or if, you do, all that does is make you unwelcome and asked to leave by the landlord.

Apparently.

Last time I got to the checkout and rummaged through a purse to work out how I was going to pay I got done for pick-pocketting....

People who don’t treat busy pavements like roads. If you want to stop and rummage in your bag or look at something then don’t just stop, pull over to the side of the pavement otherwise I will walk into the back of you to make a point. Busy pavements are bang annoying.

Was going to say the same. I worked just off Oxford St for six years and had to walk back to and from Tottenham Court Rd tube station every day to the office...so many mindless cretins who would slowly walk up and down the pavement and then randomly stop for no reason!!

People who buy petrol, then do a full on shop, without moving their cars. In fact even if they do, I still have to queue behind em at the tills.

The one in Colchester (A134 junction) is mental for this . What sort of fckard does their shopping at a Petrol station for twice the cost of a supermarket?

Pint of milk or sarnie are acceptable but an overflowing basket, wtf is wrong with people?

Poos that need no wipes and also disappear around the S-bend before you have even got up so that they leave you unsure about whether you even had a poo just now.

Pedestrian crossings where the red/green men lights aren’t on the opposite side of the road in the direction you’re heading, and above head height so everyone can see them. Oh no, some wassock decided they’d be better at hip level on the post that’s beside you and may well have several people blocking the view if it’s busy, leaving you no idea when they change.

That annoys me. Does it affect me? I’d like to think I can outsmart them, so it probably shouldn’t, but I’ll let you know if I get run over.

Seriously, most stupid design ever.
[Post edited 25 Feb 2020 21:24]


Who uses those lights anyway? Surely you just judge oncoming car speed vs your own sprint speed vs width of the road like every normal person.

The last one is fake news.

Men don't have bags and purses.

If you had complained about men searching every pocket twice to find their wallet I might have believed it.

It honestly makes no sense to me, plus it makes them look more stupid than they possibly already are.


I do that (sorry) usually when i'm dictating something. I have always been aware I may look a bit of a tool.

I went for a hair cut today and the hairdresser hadn't bothered to brush down the chair properly before I sat in it.

That bothered me.

Is that petty of me or just lazy from her?

Drivers not indicating but particularly when turning left at junctions/roundabouts.

I love stopping to give way for nothing when a simple lifting of the finger to let me know they are turning left rather than crossing my path.

I have others but this really, really, really, really, really gets my goat.


It's the ones that indicate right as if they're staying on the roundabout but then leave at the exit before mine (with their indicators still pointing the other way) that annoy me.
I think it's a predominant Suffolk/Norfolk thing as I don't see it elsewhere.
