People who are pushy and condescending when they don't know anything. However, they will tulip you in meetings, and try to put pressure on you and make you look stupid.
People who talk loudly on phones. Last week some bloke was yapping for 15 mins in a quiet carriage, until someone prodded him to shut up while pointing at the sign.
Idiots who stand in starbucks (or any takeaway) queue, and start scouring the menu only when they reach the counter. Why the feck can't you read it and decide what you want while standing in the queue?
People who whip out their life savings in copper coins while paying grocery in Tesco/Asda. Fecking move on!I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.Comment
