I mean everyday things, not things like genocide.
For me it is standing blocking doorways as they chat away. It is the total lack of awareness of other people that really annoys me.

Forgot one, people who have fires during middle of a lovely sunny day, when my washing has just been put out on the line. Arghh that really fucking annoys me.

Sitting down next to you on public transport when there are several other empty seats.

People who don't move up promptly in the drive thru queue at McDs or any queue for that matter Angry gives me slight rage.

I'm amazed at the number of people on here complaining about people walking slowly! I'm a slow walker,I can't help it as I have very bad knee and hip joints due to osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. I use at least one walking stick,sometimes two,so it is fairly obvious that I have a disability and cannot dramatically speed up to suit the person behind me. If I'm walking too slow for you,FFS overtake me! I promise I won't be offended!

People who fall asleep on you on public transport, you give them a nudge each time but they keep doing it. I just get sharper with my nudge each time Grin

Talking on phones like they’re on The Apprentice.

Vaping huge clouds of.... vape. I hate how those sticks have become like a status thing. Shite.

Using iPads as cameras.

The one that most enrages me is the unloading their shopping on to the belt while you still have half a trolley full and are in front of them! I turned round the other week and asked where I was supposed to put mine and the woman replied she was 'in a hurry' I pointed out she wouldn't be any quicker as she was slowing me down. She then called me a miserable old cow and carried on. Cashier winked at me and put mine through in slow motion and then had a good chat with me so she had to wait even longer. Loved it Grin

Nothing wrong with that, but for pity's sake, don't do it in the middle of the footpath/pavement. Get to one side or the other so people can pass you.

Yes. We arent complaining you’re walking slow.

Just that you’re doing it in the middle of the path so we can’t get by to overtake you

Not removing bloody huge shoulder totes when finding a seat on the bus. I swear that the next idiot who hits my head with their bag will get both barrels.
