minor things that make you fume


Our road is closed at the junction for the Great Eastern Run this morning. There are barriers in place and two stewards, this cuts no ice with some car drivers who just drive onto the pavement and back onto the road and onto the course. The wheelchair racers are due soon, so inconsiderate, makes my blood boil?
 
Bloke at work has a very odd affliction which for some reason means that whenever he speaks whilst wearing headphones he bellows. This wouldn't be so much of a problem but for the fact that he regularly uses a headset to make teams calls in our open-plan office.

He's doing it now.
 

People who get their belongings and leave the tray on the conveyor belt going through security at the Airport.

Even worse when they decide to start packing their belongings back in their bags, stood there instead of going over to the designated spots to eliminate crowding and backlogs of trays not moving!
This isn't minor. Absolutely makes me rage.
 
Screaming kids in a pub on a Friday night.

Since when did this become socially acceptable?
Its an England thing. Whenever I've been abroad kids seem well behaved. I put it dien to the "children must be seen and not heard is a repression of their development" loons. They don't learn how to behave out with the public. I've stopped going to music gigs because people gave forgotten how to be so audience. A few years back I nearly got to blows with some balloon who thought people would be more interested in hearing of his experience at the bar, rather than the artist I'd travelled a long way to hear.
 

Same ! Can't get my head round that some people just don't think!
Airports and air travel bring out the worst in some people.

The ones that hold up the entire security queue by waiting until they're at the front before taking their belt and shoes off. Or they treat the metal detector like a fairground ride, going through it six times before remembering they have £600 worth of 50p pieces in their pocket.

That's before you get the morons who stand in the aisle on the plane itself, blocking everyone from boarding as they decide to unpack EVERYTHING from their suspiciously large cabin bag. Then they can't lift it up to put it in the overhead locker, but the cabin crew can't get past the massive queue in order to help them. Then they finally sit, but get up again 14 times during the flight to climb over you, because they need to put something back in their bag.

Air travel is ok when you upgrade to business class and get some space, but it's torture in economy. Borderline claustrophobic.
