People how use disabled parking bays when they have nothing wrong with them.
Contractors that think I'm stupid enough they can just lie about there work/progress and then ring me bitching when I do not use them again.
People how can not park between the lines

Getting busted for being on WWF at work

* At the ATM, the sod who goes through a string of cards before finding one with enough money for the withdrawal, AND THEN studies the receipt carefully before slowing filing it in the purse/wallet.

You too?

The dumb sod tourist from a country generally starting with A and ending in a.
"I'll just quickly go up get the paper, milk and some money", I tell my wife leaving her and the kids in the car.

Numbskull tourist tries once to deposit cheque after having slowly punched each number onto the key pad, reads in detail all the choices to select from, makes his choice.

Then the machine won't take his envelope with the cheque (this machine often doesn't).

So he tries 4 more times, each time slowly reading and slowly punching the numbers on the keypad.

Now I hate when people stand the other side of the thorough fare when they line up behind someone else at an ATM. You never know if someone is just waiting for something or waiting in line. So I stand behind them, but give lots of personal space, as you do.

Occasionally I glance at the bloke as he tries 5 or so times to put the blinking envelope into the ATM, you know you just look around the place trying calmly to wait.

Then he calls me over, "Please sir, don't stand behind me, I don't want you to see what I'm doing.", "Mate, I don't care what you're doing and I'm not watching what you're doing, so don't worry." So he get's the shytes, and crowds his whole self over the ATM. I just and stay where I am thanks mate.

He tries another full go from the beginning to put the blasted envelope in, finally he gives up and goes into the bank!

I walk up, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep... take my money out and in less than 30 seconds I'm done and gone. Meanwhile I had to wait 10 minutes.

So if it only took 30 seconds to read my post, read it 19 more times, yeah.

Trades people who think they're very 'metro', who wear the most nauseating body spray/aftershave, who come into my home, stink the place out, necessitating the doors and windows to be left open for hours on end in 11° C temperatures AND have the nerve to ask me to close the doors because they're cold! The new curtains don't look too bad though.

people that drive 10km/h under the speed limit when you can't overtake safely then accelerate to 20km/h over for an overtaking lane then slowing down again at the end

Wasn't this thread about lightglobes??

I hate those compact fluoros with all the twists and turns that stick way out of your desk lamp. Look like Daleks' guts.
