  1. My Dad used to crack his jaw and bite his finger nails. That was intensely annoying for some reason.
     
  2. People whose hearts are beating. So annoying!

  10. One roundabout near me seems have a unique breed of tosser assigned. There are two lanes heading to a major A road. So when turning right you should feed into the left lane unless a slower vehicle is in that lane, in which case you can use the right lane (and very long slip road) to pass. For some reason about 50% of local muppets go straight into the right lane and sit at 30mph for the half mile until it joins the main road. Whynthese brain dead morons do this is beyond me. The number of times I am sat in the bike wondering about undertaking is beyond count. It happens occasionally at other roundabouts but only rarely. I genuinely can’t work out why this one seems to have been chosen by morons to drive their SUVs at 30mph on.

  12. Surly staff in shops/petrol stations etc who ignore the hand you're holding out for your change or receipt and throw it on the counter instead.
     
  13. Just surly staff full stop. More and more shops run by people eon a wage who don;t give a shit about the success of the business. Years ago the owner ran the place and was polite and friendly, encouraging you to make a return visit.

    I have voted with my feet in many places where staff would rather talk to each other or look at their phones than engage with you.

  14. Based on the wages they get, quite often zero hour contracts, it’s no surprise they don’t give a shit when the business treats them like shit. Same applies anywhere, new CEO in my last place came in and treated people appallingly, within 2 years 80% had walked and they pretty much collapsed. We had the benefit of being professional people who could choose to go to better jobs. That’s often not choice at the minimum wage end of the market.

  15. I have some sympathy for people stuck in dead-end, unfulfilling jobs where they feel unvalued, but it's no excuse for being discouteous to the random strangers who are customers. It's not their fault. In fact, when you're in that position it's often only being polite to customers and having that courtesy returned that makes the job bearable.

  16. People who play golf on their own, you feel obliged to let them play through then take 5 puts on the green while you’re waiting there, eating all the supplies that were supposed to last you 18 holes.

  17. So true, i can think of a company exactly as you describe - Covid came along and when the owner went to resume afterwards, no-one was around waiting to come back, and no-one wanted to take a chance and come back to him.

  18. I agree, but it’s easy to say that when we haven’t been worn down by all that crap (and the awful customers) month after month. Last time I worked in a shop was when I was doing my A levels, 1% of people were incredibly nice, probably 89% were fine but just ignored you unless they wanted something, and 10% were dicks who assumed you were scum because you worked in Sainsbury’s. Even after over 30 years I remember the dicks far more than the nice people. Although to be fair part of that is because on one in particular who was just plain foul to the female staff then verbally abusive to anyone who tried to stop him. I would like to think shops are better at preventing that sort of crap these days but I don’t know.

    I have always that 99% of people have a naturally helpful friendly approach in life, if that is absent then it’s often because something has caused that. The other 1% are just bell ends.
