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?

Putting dots between word in a sentence for emphasis. Grammatical madness. |
I totally agree. I did not knowingly put them in. I am away using a tablet I am unused to . .....! |  | | |

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. |
With you big time, what is worse though and downright dangerous is those who indicate left on a roundabout because they will turn off at some stage. |  | | |

Other people judging me when I'm trying to eat my tea in a supermarket. |
people who refer to dinner as tea and lunch as dinner! |  |

Overly polite people who ignore the rules of the road in order to be nice.
Like people who are turning into the road you are waiting to emerge from who sit there waiting for you to go.
Or cyclists waving you to overtake when actually you cant see what is coming round or over the hill. |  |

New York Bagel Company not pre-slicing their bagels anymore. They said it was due to 'customer feedback' but is clearly a cost saving measure and now I have to clean up bagel crumbs every morning. Just rude.
People handing out leaflets on the street that get in your way or hold out a leaflet in front of you. Again, I just walk into them - get out my way.
People who park across two car parking bays. Although I suspect that annoys everyone.
An odd one, but when I am at a bank of 5 urinals and using an end one, but someone still comes in and wees in one of the cubicle toilets with the door open standing up, probably not putting the seat up either. Why?
Red notification circles on my apps.
Companies that twist bad news to pull the wool over your eyes. Deliveroo announced to customers that their delivery fees are becoming cheaper. They are putting in a new pricing scheme meaning cheaper deliveries for those close to takeaways. But what they didn't highlight was that the price would sky rocket for those further away (the majority - hence the need for delivery). In fact they sent the below to their riders:
‘The minimum delivery fee is the lowest fee you can be offered to complete the shortest deliveries — those that take you the least amount of time to complete. Only a small number of orders are offered the minimum fee, with most orders offered a much higher fee’.
Fuming. I'd prefer them to just explain it honestly than try and pretend they're doing something for the customers. |  | | |

People overtaking me on the motorway and continuing to sit in the fast lane despite the fact they’ve comfortably passed me and there’s no other traffic for them to overtake. Doesn’t affect me as they’re going faster but it infuriates me and instantly makes me think that the driver is a bellend |
Yes, and i'll add to this. People who overtake me on the motorway and then pull in only to slow down to a speed slower than I am doing forcing me to then overtake them!
Most of the time they compound their stupidity by throwing a dirty look your way as you pass. |  | | |

Law of averages suggests some of those idiots post on this very forum. Makes you sick doesn’t it? | | | |

People who stand up the minute a plane stops and ask you to let them past, when in reality you ain't going anywhere for at least 10 minutes
Shouldn't annoy me, but genuinely does for some reason. |
Had this yesterday.
A rather rude woman pushed in front of me to get on the plane after getting off the bus and then managed to bang my leg with her ridiculous wheeler case. Then when we landed she attempted to push past me and everyone else in order to get off the plane 15 seconds quicker.
Made sure she couldn't get past and made a point of letting every other person I possibly could out ahead of me just to annoy her. Incredibly rude woman.

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!! |
Some of em holding hands on arms held out so far you have to do a dodgems detour into the gutter to get past!
See also people ambling along supermarket aisles at 0.0001mph who then stop with their trolleys sticking out at right angles while they spend 5 mins reading the label of some item on shelf. Always makes me want to yell "some of us need to get our shopping done before midnight" to the feebly polite "excuse me"! |  |

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. |

Even worse when people stop at the end of an escalator though.
And people who answer their mobile phone whilst you are talking to them and the call is someone asking if they have been in an accident. |  | | |

Why do people do that?
It honestly makes no sense to me, plus it makes them look more stupid than they possibly already are. |
I think it tends to be people doing voice messaging.
One thing that's increasingly annoying me is people attempting to touch in at tube gates using their phone or smart watch, as it invariably doesn't work. Last week I was stuck in a queue of about 10 people behind someone at Aldgate station trying (and failing) to get through the barriers with his watch. [Post edited 26 Feb 2020 11:23]

people who video goal opportunities with their mobile phone. (See also concerts)
People who sit in the middle land on motorways until they need to turn off or overtake.
people who insist on queueing in pubs rather than standing at the bar. | | | |

One BIG one.
People that park in the Parent and Child parking spaces or, worse still, Disabled spaces in morning in a near abandoned Supermarket when there are as many vacant normal spaces as close to the bloody entrance!
Workmen are the worst, followed closely by young females. A few weeks back three or four vans had all parked in the parent and child spaces and this young, possibly new mum had an absolute panicked look on her face as she went to get a trolley with one of the baby seats built in from behind these work vans, without being able to see her child. She looked back about ten times and was proper panicking.
She shouldn't have to wake her baby up, carry it across a car park, get to the trolley, back to her car etc. Without these vans she could have parked next to them.
One of the few things that genuinely makes my blood boil. It would be wrong if the supermarket was largely packed and it was one of a few spaces, but when it's 8am and the car park is 10% full it's just lazy, selfish and winds me right up.
In some cases they are not even saving themselves walking distance and it others it's saving them about 5 seconds.
Also an honourable mention to lazy gits who park here with kids and then leave them in the car! | |

I see people doing it behind the wheel, like it somehow qualifies as hands free just because you're holding the phone in a different way and it's on loud speaker. Absolute berks. | |

Mostly agree, at least re parent/child area, but for some people it's necessary because they have dog/s in the back of vehicles so need to load food shopping onto passenger seats via side doors. Unfortunately supermarkets simply don't allow enough space to bring a trolley down at least part of the way between cars to enable unloading into side doors in regular spaces.
Unacceptable to take up any disabled spaces unless one of the car occupant is actually disabled or ill of course. [Post edited 26 Feb 2020 11:39]

and annoyance when you've been sitting stationary in a traffic jam for 15 mins, it finally starts moving, and the car in front of you lets in 2 cars that have only just whizzed up a side road (which is a cheaty short cut loop anyway) a mere 2 secs earlier! | |

Yesterday I was double clambered over as I was in the aisle seat near the back of a plane. Nigerians are big lads too.
Then we all got on the same bus ffs. And waited for our luggage.
Still, the jollof rice is a welcome distraction :-) |  |

They serve jollof rice at Nigerian baggage claim? Blimey. UK airports have a lot to learn. |  |

I am genuinely worried I might have over dosed on it this week. Can get it anywhere, though baggage claim has yet to sell it. Yesterday on arrival in Abuja from Sokoto there was a food outlet 10 yards from the baggage hall 😊 | |

People who drive forward into parking spaces, and get it so wrong they have to reverse out a bit to straighten up. Man up (or whichever you identify as), and reverse in badly so you only have to look a tool once. | | | |

Drivers in the middle or fast lane not overtaking anyone.
Bar staff who don't know who's next.
Commuters complaining to staff about the wind coming up the escalators in tube stations.
Sh1t pints. Ffs.
People walking the same speed right behind me. Fook off.
There are loads more obvoiusly... |  |
