Morons that remove their stuff from trays at airport security and leave them in situ, causing the belt to back up. I would install a trap door at the exit especially for them, where they are held for an hour then released back to the start of the queue until they understand how to behave.
Absolutely this. I spent most of last year flying somewhere or another, and this annoyed me even more than automated passport scanners do.I'm afraid that there is a very clear and observable gender divide to this behaviour, too.

Charge a £1 per tray and they would put it back.

Perhaps they think that the Yanks are right, with eggsit for exit.Clockwork Cupcake said:
The fact that chips are no longer "cheap as chips" and that going down the chippy is actually quite expensive now.
Deciding on fish and chips is an individual choice, why not, it can be a tasty alternative meal once in a while, salt and vinegar optional, but going to the “chippy” = Council.Frank7 said:

Stranger still I was at Munich airport last week and there is nowhere to put/stack your tray! They wait where they are relying on the staff to pick them up and recirculate them. This just encourages the lazy.

Anyone else start fish and chips, and think ooh lovely, then get about halfway through and become bored?

Nope.Repeat every couple of years.
That is Doner Kebab for me. I go months, maybe even a year or more without having one. Then I think to myself "I haven't had a Doner in ages". So I buy one, usually a large, with large chips. Then I get half way through it and regret my decision. I usually succumb to the temptation as I'm cycling home after a long (all day, 100+ miles) bike ride, so I'm starving and see the two Turkish fellas at their van, smell the food, and need instant gratification.
I don't think I need to stop eating them, I just need to learn how to pronounce the word 'Regular' and to say "no" when asked if I want any chips with it.
I used to eat loads of the damned things back when I travelled to follow football. Basic rules was "mid week away game = Doner kabab after the match", wherever we were and no matter how late it was. Sadly, I was far fitter and more active back then, so I could get away with it. I could also afford the travelling to away matches, but now not so much. Eeeeeh, lad! Non-league football and Doner kebabs! Happy memories...
...apart from that FA Cup Q2 replay at The Crabble in Dover. 1-1 at home then we got a bus down for the replay that delivered us in plenty of time to witness a 5-0 drubbing. And "because long bus trip home" we couldn't even stop to find a kebab. Grrrr...

True. The last time I ate a fish supper, it cost eight quid. I'm old enough to remember a time when you couldn't eat eight quid's worth of fish and chips, let alone carry them.My one from todays doctors appointment
"we will do the XYZ test and if the results come back and there is nothing to worry about we wont contact you, no news is good news"
Now I get resources are limited but A) a text/email would be fine, so at least you know it actually happened and could relax B) not all teats are pass/fail, some have a number or a count, so even a "no issue" result can have unanswered questions like what is my count/rate/number on the scale.

I have that with my doctor. Trouble is, a couple of times there have been minor issues with my results, but they have missed calling me. Luckily I am a regular visitor, so it gets picked up quick enough, but it does show the system doesn't work. They used to show any test results on their system for you to view yourself, but an upgrade has stopped that working. More likely they got fed up with constant phone calls asking for everything to be explained "we will do the XYZ test and if the results come back and there is nothing to worry about we wont contact you, no news is good news"
