Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
Just another shopping centre annoyance, and its usually women that do this, people that stand in the queue for the parking payment machine. They pull the ticket out their handbag, put the handbag back on their shoulder, insert ticket and then go back inside the handbag to get their purse, to then search for change, like it's A f

Additionally, people who form a huge queue for the ground floor payment machines. kING SURPRISE that the machine wanted money off you!!Actually, this doesn't annoy me as it means I can pop up to the next level or so and use the machines there which, without fail, have little or no queue.

I was chatting to a couple of police officers in the immigration area at T5 whilst waiting for a colleague to come through (she's non-EU, and it took her nearly an hour to get through immigration!)... they were saying it's a constant nightmare, and in their opinion, BAA should be contributing financially to UKBF, in the same way football clubs have to fund policing at matches.
BAA are still fking useless... if there was a convenient way for me to avoid using their airports shopping malls, I would.
Wait what? BAA have to pay UKBF for bringing people to a border? What has the border got to do with BAAs finances? Should the Channel Tunnel pay for UKBF too? BAA are still f
king useless... if there was a convenient way for me to avoid using their Ferry Companies?

See also waiting for petrol pumps on the filler cap side when the garage has signs up saying "long reach hoses,use both sides"
Whilst this is true, they aren't usually long reach enough and you have to hold the filler at a funny angle and hold the pipe if you don't want it touching your car paintwork.I can overlook this one.

People who chop food with small knives on glass chopping boards.
Both on TV and in real life, food prepared this way tastes awful and will give you worms.
Ah yes, the awful taste of glass: Both on TV and in real life, food prepared this way tastes awful and will give you worms.

As well as worms, there is a risk of Trojans and viruseseses...

Had even worse a while back, sign at M25 J13 (A30) saying A303 closed at Awhatever. Then I got to M25 J12 (M3) to find the junction was closed. WTF? Why tell me a junction 50 miles away is closed, but not tell me the next sodding junction is shut at the junction where I can come off and take an alternative route! you'd have to take the bloody M3 to get the junction they'd told us was closed anyway.
On the M4 heading west in Wales, sign tells me the M1 is closed at junction 34.....And I care because....?..?..?.....?
