    I think it was about 1990 that I tried using Abbey National, only to find that they took something like 10 days to process a cheque paid in. I was distinctly dischuffed to have them on the phone one morning threatening to bounce my mortgage payment when the money had already disappeared from my business account.

      Being asked to do the impossible, and then having your deliverable promised for you with an imposed deadline.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        People who overtake on a dual carriageway at 1 inch per hour faster than the vehicle that they are over taking such that by the time it's your turn to overtake you've run out of dual carriageway

          Invented words bearing the prefix "pre" - like Pre-order, Pre-warn, Pre-book. In every case the "pre" is redundant and the product of feebleness.

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Five to be going on with . . .

                Ebay sellers that put a link to an enlarged picture of their item, but when you click it the same sized picture opens up in a new window.

                Supermarket assistants who, on seeing your entire conveyor belt of shopping, ask you if you'd like any carrier bags.

                Users who, despite warnings and advice to backup/archive their data, don't, then blame you when the whole lot disappears.

                Cyclists who don't obey traffic lights, overtake on the inside and/or ride on pavements.

                Motorists who have their in-car music so loud that it drowns out my music, from the car in front.

                  I imagine that for quite a few guys around here that would be doubly redundant
