    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.
    Oh I had that the other day in a shop. I did the inadvertent push in then got the old lagging woman tutting at me.

    That annoys me, too. Don't TUT at me - have the balls to say something, you old f*cker.

      @ some poor little old lady? Honestly, how could you.

      You should see me biting my tongue when I go to the post office to buy a stamp only to find that it's pension day & they're all shuffling round that windy maze like queue on their zimmer frames

        Ah yes, this happened to me once in Montreal, I'm a boring old fart, so tend to wear black shoes, black trousers, white shirt; Big unkempt white beard and hair. Standing waiting for a flight, drifted off, suddenly became aware of people behind me. .......Long line of Rabbis. AAh! Just as well the Amish don't fly I guess....

          ...and while I'm at it, people who talk about how they're a 'contractor' who has a 'Company' which pays them a 'salary' etc.

            My minor tourettes/muttering that cause me
            to actually say 'arrogant twat' or 'what the **** did you say?' to people who diss me or tut.

              You should buy a book of 12, means you won't have to put up with that as often.

                When you want to reverse into a parking spot and despite your indicator flashing and reversing lights on, some idiot queues up 6 inches from your rear bumper.




















                And to add icing to the cake honks their horn at you.

                  Have you seen how expensive stamps are these days?
                  The trick used to be that if you bought them in books they said "Second Class" or "First Class".

                  No more buying penny top ups when the price went up before you'd used them all.

                    Oh I almost love this one. Nearly every time I attempt to park on my drive, someone does this. I like to take it niiiice and slow.

                      When someone uses the private parking spot I have, and pay for, in front of our building I feel the red rage bubbling in my blood.

                      It is such a shame it costs me 50 EUR to have their car towed. I would love to have their cars towed on a regular basis.
