Something that "irks" me is when people continuously go on about things that they really have no idea about.

So you wanna tell me who you mean then, because its obviously aimed at someone on here by the way you ended that comment?Originally posted by Jebus View Post

I work in a shop and there's an almost endless list of things that annoy me....
- People who leave fridge/freezer doors open. If I went to your house would your fridges be open? No, I didn't think so.
- People who think it's ok to cough and sneeze over me. Distgusting.
- Why can't people take the newspaper from the top of the pile? In most cases it's no different to the one underneath. If it IS damaged it's often because it's fallen apart due to people pushing it aside to take the next one.
- People talking on a phone when they come up to a counter. Can you not stop your call for 15 measley seconds insead of trying to use some form of sign language to tell me what you want?
- Mindless whistling. If you really MUST whistle, at least do a tune.
- People who'll stand in a queue looking at me with an impatient expression on their face then haven't even bothered to get any kind of money ready when they get to the counter.
- People who'll be finshing their cigarette outside, take one more deep breath of it before throwing it away, then come in the shop and breathe it out a full lung full of smoke right in front of me. Urgh.
- The state of some of the lottery tickets I am given. Is it so hard to keep the barcode in a reasonable state? The same goes for the playslips. These things need to be flat and fed through a machine that reads the precise markings of the numbers you have picked. Folding them 17 times for just screwing them up in your pocket will only make them unusable!
- People who'll buy some food then be eating it infront of me as they're paying for it. I really don't want to see you eat. Are you really THAT hungry that you can't just wait 10 more seconds before eating?
- People who will ask where something is then will walk away before even listining to my reply properly. On a related note, I can never understand why people can't just take the mere 10secs it takes to walk around my tiny shop to find what they're after anyway. Small items I can understand but things like bread and milk are pretty much unmissable given the relative space they take up.
- People who ask the price of everything when it is clearly labelled.
- People who ask the price of something, then state how much cheaper it is in Tesco. Go to Tesco then! On a similar note, people who moan about the price of our cans/bottles of coke (70p/£1.09) when they are 85p/£1.29 down the road in Martin's. Go and moan at them, they're the ones taking the piss with their prices.
- The same 2 people who will turn up before 10am on a Sunday to by booze. I can't legally sell drink until 10am on Sundays, how many times do I have to say it?
- People who ask 'Are you still open?' when I'm outside locking the door and shutters and all the lights are off. Does it look like we're still open?

supermarket annoyances:
people who can't be bothered to take frozen food they no longer want back to the freezers and leave it in a fridge (and vice versa). You may as well steal the things, at least then someone will get some use and they won't clog up land fill. Defrosted frozen is thrown away, as is frozen fresh.
On that note, avoid the "damaged reduced" frozen food section in Tesco. Lots of dodgy managers put defrosted food in there.Comment

I think you need to be a bit less highly strung mate, it wasn't aimed at anyone this particular thread. The reason I ended it that way was so that the previous poster wouldn't think it was aimed at him, but nevertheless you've jumped in thinking its about you!Originally posted by Tommy Verceti View Post
Did I miss the point of this thread? Is it just to have a go at other forumites in a vaguelly riddler-esque manner? If so, great. That "Spatial101" gets my goat, I mean...how DARE he? How DAAAAAARE he? Disgraceful. I mean, he just parades it around, like it's an "OK" thing he's doing, filthy, depraved, violent and he doesn't even care.
Won't somebody think of the children?

People that sit next to you on the bus when there's LOADS of empty seats (doubles) slightly further down the bus.
Unless I'm with a friend or family member I like to sit on my own on the bus! Hence why I sit on the insdie seat, I'll move if the bus becomes full (rarely does) so people can use the spare seat though.Comment

Strictly speaking, gotten is a word, it's just become obsolete in British English usage (same pattern still applies to the participle 'forgotten', weirdly). So it's not so much an American bastardisation as an antiquated term being oddly preserved in current usage. There are other examples in US English, but I can't remember any off the top of my head.Originally posted by funkydan View Post
