Ooh. The dog owners who do pick up - and then hang the bag on my fence because the poo bin is 50 yards the wrong way.

Teachers who can't get their class out in time. Especially when it's my turn for the school run, and it's cold and raining outside, and the car is parked miles away and it's Friday. You'd think they'd be glad to see the back of the little brats dears.

And dog owners who don't pick up after their animals.

JessM, I'm so glad that it isn't only me that finds it irritating!

Although in my experience my bank are the worst offenders "just bringing that up on the screen for yourself"

To be fair, I haven't had many dealings with waitresses for a while, so it could well be that they are in the premier league!

AND ANOTHER THING.............Those bloody annoying messages when one is on hold/in the queue etc that says "why not go to our website to ask your question/pay your bill/make an enquiry/learn how to boil your head etc.

AAAAARRGH!

And breathe....................

Waitresses round here scatter "yourselves" into as many sentences as possible.
"Can i get anything else for yourselves" etc

Evening all, not sure if this has been done before, or that there may be a similar thread, but here we go;

1) Supermarkets who make their parking spaces just that little bit too small to get ones trolley between cars, meaning that one has to wheel the trolley around and approach from the rear.

2) Bloody silly use of "yourself" or "myself" when either "you" or "me" would be fine. (recent example in a letter, "If you have any queries, do please feel free to get in touch with myself" Aaaaaarrrrgh!
