minor things that make you fume

I presume you're looking for a more nuanced answer than "Do your weekly shop in the proper supermarket, THEN stop for your petrol on the way out."

I'm with you on this one @chrismpw - nice to see you embracing sound, traditional Tory values.

Tory? What's tory about encouraging others to be less selfish?

A tory response would have been to quietly encourage her actions while taxing them.

Am I a monster?

Arrived at a fuel station - one with a co-op attached. Hate these.

All 8 pumps were occupied and nobody was filling. I sat for 5 minutes while one At a time people came out with bagfulls of shopping and got into their cars.

Needless to say, the last 2 to come out were those in front of me. Fortunately the one immediately in front came out first, weaved around the car in front and I had a space.

I had half filled my tank when the driver of the car in front (a modern landrover) of me flounced out with an enormous sack full of shopping. An effing millennial who judging by clothing was between gym and some stables (there are lots of horsey people around here).

I enquired (politely if a bit loudly):

(n)"Tell me. Are you utterly selfish, or is it that you are totally oblivious to the fact that other people exist and might need to use these pumps? "

(Flustered but predictably unapologetic): :eek:"There was a big queue at the till. I've just put eighty pounds of fuel in this"

:dodgy:"There wasn't a big queue, I can see the queue from here. Also I don't care how much fuel you've bought, there's a car park right there to do your shopping - have a look at the number of people in the queue behind me who have been waiting while you stroll around that shop. Is it selfishness or lack of awareness?"

:rant:"You know what? I don't care what you (unladylike word) think! " (she was quite angry by this stage - I have learned that people don't like pertinent questions, even when it was just a multichoice question I'd framed to make it easy for her. All she had to do was pick one answer.

:cool:"Well your own words have answered my question"

She exits stage left.

These shop come filling stations shouldn't exist. Too many people do not know or do not care how to use them, or are simply so full of self-entitlement that other people 's inconvenience is irrelevant to them.

Consideration for other road users - highway code. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

They've left you very little option here but to acquire an assault rifle and start making things right, it might seem a harsh price for them to pay for a charging cable but it's the principal.

The butterfly effect in its truest form. A miscreant steals a cable leading to a 26 hour shoot out. There’s plenty of custard creams in the kitchen so I can hold out for days.
