People who join a queue and only decide what they want when they get to the front of the queue!!!!
My mum used to do exactly that every time she and my dad went into a pub together. I remember my dad having a classic rant about it once, which went along the lines of "At what point between us driving to a pub, arriving at the pub, parking, walking into the pub, walking up to the bar to order a drink, attracting the attention of a barman, me telling him what I want, and turning to you to ask what you want, did it occur to you that you might want to decide what you wanted to drink?"
About 25 years ago my mum decided what she wanted to drink and has ordered the same thing every time since in order to avoid this dilemma.

I hate self service tills. I always leave my trolley there because if I have to scan and bag my items myself, then somebody else can put my bloody trolley away.Why cant they have all your change dispensed from the same are.

The vacuous pair of middle class elderly tts in Waitrose yesterday.
I was perusing the range of 'starter, main course, side and bottle of wine' offer at the end of an aisle.
These 2 utter knobs piled in at the other end touching every product in sight before moving in front of me to look at the stuff I was interested in. A bit gobsmacked, I moved out of the way hoping they would sort themselves out and fk off, pronto.
No chance, they fecked about for a minute or two and then the male knob looked at me and said," Ah, I bet your just waiting to see what I choose and copy me". I said, 'No, I was here first, but seeing as you have bumbled me out of your way, I was just waiting for you to acquire some self awareness so I can continue my shop".
If I had had a whoosh parrot I would have shoved it down his throat. He just looked at me a bit confused and carried on as before. I did the rest of my shopping and when I came back, they were still there.
Absolute fking fking wkers, what the fking hell sort of fking drugs are they on the self fking important s.People like them get right on my fking tits.
Tossers. I should say what I mean in future.

Yeah well I can't remember the correct wording. Sorry.
That's a st analogy.
It's like waking into Starbucks and asking for a coffee and them offering you tea instead.
My point is if I wanted a different brand of anything I'd ask for it.
"Do you want chocolate on that?"
"No"
>puts chocolate sprinkles on<
"Enjoy your drink"

ts I always tell them my name is the same as theirs on their name badge. Got a funny look from Fatima the other week.Petrol stations, in particular the Shell garage where I get my optimax or whatever its called now. (Dont even get me started on the diesel version. Performance fuel for a diesel, surely the two are mutually exclusive..)
They ALWAYS ask me if I would like to buy one of their offers.
No, I feckin would not like a can of Red Bull or a bar of poverty chocolate. Stop doing it. They do it in the bloody off licence as well. 'Anything else sir?'
A bit of discount would be nice, dheads.

Funnily enough, this was going to be my next rant on here. They ALWAYS ask me if I would like to buy one of their offers.

Did you see Dave Gorman on one of his "Life is Goodish" shows talking about exactly this, and how he likes to mess with their heads with various names. Including saying his name was "Espresso with a Caramel shot" when the guy in front of him had had a big rant about how there were no Caramel shots left. ts I always tell them my name is the same as theirs on their name badge.

Or people who spend five minutes in the queue and it is only when they reach the till that it dawns on them that they need to pay.Cue either A) struggling to find purse in extra large shopping bag or B) counting out seemingly endless pieces of small change.
