IMO the worst ones for this are Supermarket home delivery vans.

Loading / unloading is allowed on double yellows so I don't see the problem with this ?
At least they are genuinely delivering something.

Wind it in, sunshine. I'm not arguing against crossing patrols, I'm arguing against them being employed to push the button on a pedestrian crossing.

If no one is there at school kicking out time, every time anyone walking up to the crossing they bring the traffic to a stop. Put a lollypop person there and the send them across in groups.

They make the kids wait & then cross in groups, it stops the 'Abbey Road' effect.

Probably said before but people that think putting their hazard lights on means they are exempt from parking restrictions on double yellows.

Nope. Fat lazy s who park in the drop off bay at Tesco to do their shopping, or tow ait for half an hour while the wife runs in. These people deserve a cheekbone/claw hammer interface.

Edited because I'm a nugget of quoting fkwittery.

Vendors who dick around when presented with a £50 note, it's legal currency ffs, just push it into the till and let me get on my way. If i'd given you a fake £10 and two fake £20s you wouldn't have batted an eye.

It was over £100 and payment contained two £50s, it would have been quicker writing two cheques....

[ClockworkCupcake]

I'm not sure I have ever even seen a £50 note let alone had one in my purse / wallet.

Also, chavvy types who pay for purchases over £50 in cash; they annoy me beyond reason. Use a card, you tax dodger.

Absolutely...but on or opposite junctions, parked adjacent to a car which is already parked against the curb (effectively double parked "in the road"), parked in the centre of the road with cars parked either side of it thus blocking any way through?...all experiences I've come across. At least the hazards provided some form of mitigation to the rule...

Where do you suggest then? 100 yards down the road and lug it all back to the customer? And I know someone will pipe up about being held up for hours on end but in reality they're only there for a couple of minutes at most.

Most of the time they have a stack of trays to unload and cart to the door so I give them the benefit of the doubt really.
Anyway, I forgot, this is the 'annoyed beyond reason' thread so if it annoys you then who am I to argue against it

This was a few years ago, but I was once in the position where what I had on the van had to carried into the front of the shop whilst I parked on double yellows, no argument, no way around it, It had to be done; end of. Pleading with the Traffic Warden proved pointless so I sat in the drivers seat, engine running, whilst the shop workers unloaded the van quickly, as the last box was removed he put the ticket in the bag, as he moved towards my windscreen as I smiled serenely and drove off.
