That's also the time to spend half an hour rummaging for coupons that then turn out to be for products they haven't bought or the coupons are out of date.

people that haven't bothered to plan their extended rail journey and get to the ticket counter 10 minutes before the train they think they want departs and then proceed to hold the queue up asking a bunch of questions they could have found the answer to by: A arriving much earlier and not holding me up. B: used the freakin interwebz!

People who insist on dropping the K in Knobber.
*Gets coat*
Of course, in Middle English it would have been a voiced K but over the years....

[QUOTE 2413489, member: 259"]This has happened to me in France. Waiting in the queue at the bakers. [/quote]
Stood in a queue in France once, my mate said "Look at the silly knob in shorts". And the guy in front wearing the shorts turns round and says in a Brummie accent, "Oh are you English, too?"

It's as if the idea of actually paying does not cross their little minds until the assistant asks for the cash!

People who just abandon their empty supermarket shopping trolley in the middle of the car park instead of returning it to the trolley park. Lazy barstewards!
Parents who let there toddlers run riot in shops / supermarkets etc, or let them lay on the floor having a screaming fit.
Managers at work who state the bleeding obvious and pass it off as some brilliant piece of inspired thinking.
Such classics as:-
"Do it right first time." - Thanks for that. There was I labouring under misapprehension of having dozens of attempts to get it right.
"Reducing costs will have a positive affect on our EBIT." - No s**t Sherlock.
In the same vein. Management concepts that take a well established and obvious process (such as fault finding / rectification) that is largely common sense and try to make it look like something inspired and novel by inventing a new name for it. Such as "six sigma", "visual planning" etc.
Management buzzwords - "helicopter view", "going forward", "leverage", "paradigm", "synergy / synergies" etc. I saw an absolute classic in a PowerPoint presentation from our sales team - "deep dive homunculus". I think they do it to give the impression that they are more intelligent that they actually are. Hate it!

Children standing inside shopping trolleys drives me nuts. Why would I want to put my food in a trolley that some kid with manky shoes, who cares not a jot what sh!t he walks through, has spent 40 minutes standing in? Supermarket staff seem incapable of controlling this.

In a similar, people on TV usually get out of their cars and walk of and leave the headlights switched on

The seemingly universal substitution of problem with the word issue. I was once answered "No issue" when I thanked someone for fixing something.
