Picking the queue that you think will be the quickest in a supermarket only to find you have speedygonzales or some woman who can't stop talking to every shopper at the till, so in fact you wait 3 times as long as the other queues

I cycle a lot but agree with the comments above. Cyclists should use the cycle lanes, not jump to the front of lights or shoot red. I hate when cyclist rest against your car while waiting at the lights

Road Tax, like a few have mentioned - what a complete rip off, wouldn't mind if it was spent on maintaining the roads, but the roads around my way are in an appalling state - worst I've ever known, lost count of the number of potholes and areas where the road has just worn away.
On one particular road there is even a sign by the council stating 'beware weather worn road' - so the council can afford to have a sign made saying how **** the road is but not spend the money more wisely on resurfacing it :evil:

Speaking of low signs I remember smacking my head of a sign somewhere in Nottingham. It bloody knacked. The sign had the following written on it,"Beware of low hanging signs." It was the only bloody sign that was anywhere near that low!
Wow! You lot don't like cyclists. I'm guessing many of you are southerners. We don't worry about push bikes up north. Too bothered about t'coal mine and pies
What i hate is them folk who clearly haven't bothered to read the highway code. It's mirror, signal, maneuver! Not maneuver, signal and maybe mirror. Wankers :evil:

Badly poured Guinness. It's expensive yet almost invariably bar staff can't make a decent effort of producing a nice pint that's not half foamy ice cream. Morons who can't be bothered to get better at thier job.
The phrase 'bear with me'. Arrrrgh. Grrrr! Run! A bear! It's customer service (pah!) talk that's supposed to mean 'one moment please' but instead means having to grit your teeth while yet another inept idiot,who isn't capable of performing thier work efficiently, has to go away or put you on hold in order to ask a superior how to do something they should know already. My wife and I had lunch in town last weekend, I heard 'bear with me' dozens of times. Quit it.
Lastly, a seemingly small matter, but one that bugs the living hell out of me. I pay in cash for everything I can, yet cash handling skills are evaporating. When I recieve my change, 9 times out of 10 the order I get my transaction back into my hand is - receipt, note(s), coins. The result is an unweildy parcel that requires me to put my purchase down to untangle and try not to spill the whole lot onto the floor. It's because people can't do basic mental arithmatic, so look at the till and pick the big numbers first, making it easier for them to handle in one go, but very awkward for the customer. On the nowadays rare occasion that a smart shopkeeper places into my hand (and counts as they go), first the coins, then the notes and finally offer a receipt, it is a little courtesy that makes me rejoice.
Hmm, I think what grinds my gears is bollocks service when I'm paying for something. Aah, feel a bit better for getting that off my chest!

:shock: You have obviously never cared for someone in a wheelchair- it is impossible to get them in & out of a car in a 'normal' bay. I'd handicap your car :lol: And you being unhandicapped is disputableweasel said:

In my defence, of sorts, I rarely venture into town to shop. I do it all online cos i'm lazy and anti-social. So the times I do park are few and far between, and normally it's for 2 mins while I walk in and buy a paper.
Seriously though, round here 99.9% of the people who park in disabled bays, those who have the relevant blue badge given to 'disabled' people, are ALL fat. Being fat IS NOT A DISABILITY!
PS, I HATE FAT PEOPLE!
