    ps Does he do anything else?
    The 'wiping his feet' was a bit strange.

    No other tricks as yet - not until the website I linked to uploads another version.

      I know someone here has a clever method for avoiding this, but I can't remember it.
      I used to get this in UK supermarkets. I think there's a security reason behind it, but can't remember the details.

          People who won't shift their fat arses so I can get on the tube.

            Fat buggers who push in on the tube when it's obvious that neither can fit on!
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                  People who form a queue behind you when you are not actually part of a queue.

                  Similarly, people who are in a queue but, because they are lagging so far behind the next person in it , cause you to inadvertently push in and then get treated like a war criminal for doing so.

                    The way the girl in my basement taps on the pipes at night in the forlorn hope that someone may hear her and rescue her from her life as a sex slave.

                      People who stand close to a queue but are not actually in it and are too engrossed with their phone to realise that where they are standing is that grey area between being in the queue and just being slow or not being in the queue and just being an idiot
