minor things that make you fume

Reason 1,000,003 not to use public transport: elderly passengers.Senior citizens are totally incapable of getting on public transport, without a major, time consuming drama.
Firstly they have to lug them trolley-shopping walker things onto bus.
Then their oldie pass won't scan, as they have covered it with a woolen little coat!
They then spend 90 seconds, choosing a copy of the Metro, that is is to their liking.
We then witness the OAP 'musical chairs' as they move seats at least 3 times.
(*for our Australian readers mainly, but you can all still share in my fume, knock your selves out - or not)
Of all the many and varied crap beers brewed...and I use the term loosely...by Carlton (spits), Great Nothern must be by Far the 'kin worse.

But it's the beer from up here
We went to the Australia zoo today (the Steve Irwin one). Line up to buy a drink, the girl in front of me waits till the cashier scans her ice cream and then says "hang on I'll just transfer money over to pay for it" - why leave that account empty you bint if you plan on spending money (a whole $3 at that) and why wait until after the item has been scanned to do it plus mobile reception isn't great where the zoo is so then had to watch as she stands there moving the phone around trying to get a signal.Did a bit of shopping today and got stuck behind one of those elderly ladies at the tills.
You know the ones, spends 10 mins rooting through their handbags for the purse, then another 5 rooting through purse for the bonus card.
"I don't know why that's not working, love... here try this one instead..."
Then onto a 15 minute encore of slowly packing her groceries in, out and then back into her bags whilst stopping every now and again to chat to the girl on the tills "How's your Derek these days? Ooh is he? Go'way! Our John's been in the Royal all week with his back! What about Sarah and the little'un? Ooh she's the spit of her mother isn't she? scary how fast they grow up..."
Then as we're leaving we're in the gift shop buying our kids a few things and the woman in front asks for a bag to put her stuff in and then starts asking what exactly the bag is made out of before pondering whether its environmentally friendly enough for her liking then accepts and then decides she wants a different sized shirt to the one she's paid for so have to wait while she goes and gets another one.
I really don't like people.

I never get behind someone like me in the chippy; "bag of chips please" .... no. I get behind the woman ordering a family celebration of: "five fish mainly cod but two haddock but one without batter, chicken nuggets, four large chips, a saveloy, two battered burgers and erm .... (puts hand to chin while she now sends five minutes NOW thinking what her vegetarian friends might eat).
EVERY floomin time!
Hahaha yes, every time i go to the drive thru somewhere i swear the person in front of me wants the menu read to them at the window then when they get the food you watch as its not good enough as half of it gets handed back then have to wait for it to be re-done. Then instead of driving off and handing the food out to everyone else in the car you have to wait as they turn around and start handing out food and drinks to the seemingly 83 people crammed in the back.

The person in front is posting their Gran's ashes back to the family plot in Mongolia.

I think these organisations need to employ more people. I mean - have you ever phoned someone like British gas (particularly dreadful firm) and heard them say "we're experiencing the EXPECTED number of calls at the moment, we will put you right through"? No - its ALWAYS an unusually high volume of calls - always and every time - whoever you phone in Britain..... if its ALWAYS it can't be UNUSUAL!!!
Privatisation doesn't work for necessary services.
Just on that - and here's a decent entry for this thread involving my own stupidity. I paid our electricity bill about 6-8 weeks ago through BPAY (think its an Aus only thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPAY
Anyway, stupid me pays the money to the electricity provider we used to use 5 or more years ago without realising till i get a text from the provider we use now saying my bill is overdue.. i haven't bothered to ring up yet to get the $191 back because i can't be bothered sitting on hold for the hour or more i know it will take. I will do eventually but these things take time lol
I used to know someone who had LJH on her number plate. Clearly it means sod all to anyone so underneath, in small letters, it had her first name beginning with L, her second name which began with J and her surname beginning with H.

When people say we should be supporting an English team when they’re in a European competition. Yea cause I definetly will be pelting out I’m forever blowing bubbles from my living room if West Ham win the Europa league?

I stopped doing this 20 years ago when I realised they're no longer English teams. They're full of mercenaries. Stuff all of them apart from Everton. In fact when you look, the Spanish and Italian teams are loaded with their own native players... I respect that far more - so I'm more inclined to want those teams to win rather than what were once English clubs.

Not even that, I’d rather a team I have no affiliations with win than a southern team etc
