What's your pet peeve?

[The One Who]

People who use self-service either when they don't have a clue what they are doing with it or who have a full basket's or even trolley's worth. It's meant to be quick and easy.

Slow walkers, especially those who take up the entire pavement. Also people who stop suddenly or can't walk in a straight line.

Private school children who think they're 'all that' because they get on a subway. There's a queue, join the end of it.

Tourists who don't move their bags on a rush-hour train.

I could go on, but I won't.

self service can annoy me to hell sometimes, either it wont accept my money, will and not give me the right change, i got charged twice when i used my card once. The it telling me to put item in bag when it is in the bag, not scanning, grrr.

[sounds so silly]

They need a member of staff actively patrolling the damn place every minute, it really does not speed anything up I don't use them now because I know if I see it flashing at me i'm likely to yell at it.

That said, you're totally right that there are some whackos out there who are a danger to everyone they drive by. :]

Indeed. I was in a car with someone once who took a roundabout too fast and we ended up ON the roundabout. Thankfully there was no one else on the road otherwise it could have been messy.

My main issue with speeding is that no matter how observant you are or how good you think you are at driving you just cannot anticipate what will happen. A child may run out in the road, a car may brake sharply and you just don't have the time to stop safely. Where is the sense in wrecking your car or endangering a life for the sake of a few minutes? (Not you personally lol, just in general) I lost a friend because of reckless speeding and he was a good driver. A moments slip up cost him his life. I just don't see the point in it is all...
