Irritations

Absolutely. I lose the will to live in those places. It takes you so long to get served that you’d be quicker driving home and putting the kettle on. And then when people order food!

Ok. This one really frosts my butt. Those pretentious little **** that take twenty minutes to place their coffee order. "Ill have a double espresso with half skim milk and half soy milk heated to 100 degrees, with two shots of caramel and a little bit of cinnamon and some vanilla." "Oh, and with froth on top."

Annoys the hell out of me because I just take it black and always get these yuppies in front of me.

People who can’t use mobile phones properly. The hold them horizontally in front of their faces with the speaker on instead of against their ear. Why? Do they think that everyone needs to know what they are talking about?

In many cases these are people who are walking in town alone. They talk out loud because they are desperate to show they are not 'Billy, no friends'.

Presumably they hold the phone in this manner in an attempt to avoid frying their few remaining brain cells from the electromagnetic emissions put out by the phone. Given the mostly inane conversations which one can't but help overhear, they have been unsuccessful in that regard.
