Teeny tiny things that drive you nuts out of all proportion

The useless prefix 'pre-', as in 'pre-book', 'pre-order', pre-plan', 'pre-sliced', I've even heard even 'pre-prepared' for God's sake!

Good Call! That drives me into unreasonable rants here at the Manor. The staff have to hind behind cushions as soon as I hear or read that anywhere

My brother was once given a quote which offered a discount if he "pre-paid in advance".
I challenge anyone to top that.

People who stop at traffic lights with foot on the brake, thus blinding the driver behind with the bright brake lights.

This is a major annoyance with me.

People who stand at a shop/cafe/bakery counter and spend all day trying to make their minds up and then spend an eternity trying to dig out the change to pay for it.

There were 2 old ladies in front of me in the queue at the Co-op yesterday. They were discussing whether they really needed some of the shopping that had already been scanned, then which bags they should put the goods in, then who was going to pay, and then, having done all of that, they stood there chatting about something else completely unrelated to shopping!

I exchanged a few meaningful looks with the woman on the checkout while we waited for them to move on ...

Why is is that women (and, yes it does only seem to be women who do this) wait until everything has been scanned and bagged before deciding they then have to should dig to the bottom of their capacious handbags to get their purse out? Particularly when they've had to wait for the person in front to be served and had plenty of time to get their purses out...

They do it getting on buses too, it almost seems to come as a surprise that someone might want money from them at a till.

They enjoy deliberately winding up those people who are irritated by them doing it. They'll know you know.

queueing in a shop with your eye on the last item on the shelves, and the person in front buys it! (bakers and fish & chip shops are the worst for this)
Even worse when there are 2 or 3 of said item and the greedy git buys the lot!!!!
