minor things that make you fume

Was in the supermarket the other day, was at the checkout and the guy behind was strangely close when putting his stuff on the conveyer belt. In normal times he was invading personal space a bit too much, never mind my anxiety about not catching anything before my trip to the US. Anyway, I was putting stuff in my basket at the end of the checkout and he walks down and stands right by the card machine/money giving area, seriously why would anybody think that is normal behaviour. Was he that desperate for his turn he wanted to pay for me*.

P.S. It was a very long checkout area, so it was a very, very obvious movement to be in an area where he was basically stopping me from paying until I 'politely' asked him to move.

*I also fume at things I should have said at the time but didn't lol
 

Going for a number 2 (attempting to atone for my previous foul language, so bear with me), only for a number 1 to come out first then the following number 2 creating splashback onto ones balloon knot. Grim and irritating stuff that have had to try and counteract with a tissue cushion strategically placed above the waterline.
 
That Crystal Palace pod cast guy who keeps doing the sympathy thing asking people to pay and subscribe.

Seems a bit ridiculous when there's free and popular ones about?
 
Basic spelling / grammar mistakes.

For example:

"Would of" and "should of", when the writer means would HAVE and should HAVE.

People asking for "advise"... It's ADVICE.

Anyone writing "bare with me"... I think you'll find you mean BEAR with me.

Writers who venture that this team or that team need to concede "less" goals.... FEWER!!!

I'm not sure if it's the original errors that bug me more, or the complete disinterest shown by those who don't know the differences.

Most men in supermarkets behave oddly.

Angry, in a mad rush, and acting like you detail.

People who say 'Pacific', when they should be saying 'Specific'.

Drives me mental.

You say to the cashier,’ so sorry mate, I’ve forgot something, I’ll be back in a mo.’ Then do the fake ‘run’ and walk back with a packet of chewy or something a few mins later.
