    People who sit in the car with the engine on. Especially annoying when you are minding kids....
    This time of year, sometimes you have to clear the windows before you can move off. It's handier when you have all the necessary cloths, scrapers, etc. handy to do it by hand, but sometimes you just have to sit there for a couple of minutes while the air con clears the window.

    Kids in supermarkets. I was queuing this morning and a kid of about 4, was behind me with her mother. The child kept bumping into my back, but what can you do she's a child. The mother wasn't paying attention and I just couldn't be bothered to make an issue of it at the time. It was only later that I realised the back of my coat had bits of the biscuity snack thing the child had been eating all over it.:mad:

    They're always so sticky and grubby. Wtf is with that?

    If I could thank that post 10 times I would.

    I laughed last week coming out of the shopping centre.
    There was an auld couple going down the middle of the escalator ramp thing with a trolley and not much room on either side so I had no choice but to wait. Two girls though walked past me though and the first one who was slim enough slid between the trolley and handrail no bother. However her more rotund friend got her arse wedged between them momentarily and had make a real effort to pull herself through.

    Life is fast enough. Take 2 mins to stand there (to the right obv), let the technology do its thing, and catch up with your thoughts.

    Think Russ Abbott in the aul Hamlet adds.

    I've witnessed many similar happenings on the dreaded shopping centre escalators

    It's even worse when it happens the other way around, people with their trolleys ramming their way through the other people
    'Sorry, excuse me, my fault, beg your pardon!' .-.

    Driving around a packed carpark looking for a space, then you see one and drive up real confident and turn into it and there's a motor bike parked in it. Just happened me earlier on today. If the bikers would only park the bikes towards the back of the space so that we car drivers could see them!

    Or when you're in a big car park with hundreds of free spaces and someone parks really close to you.
