Just answer the damn question, it's not difficult

When I buy a pint, I expect a pint, not seven-eighths and froth!
"Would you like a Flake in that, love?"
Bugger off I want a pint!
A head is only acceptable if the glass is oversized.
The usually elderly gentleman in front of you at the petrol pump who always pays at the kiosk, always ambles back to his car (the car that is highly polished and even the tyres are clean) - and, before vacating the pump he always must first adjust and or check the following:
1. Rear view mirror
2. Seatbelt
3. Werthers stash or whatever else the flip is in that very interesting console cubby hole/glove compartment
4. Wing mirrors
5. Windscreen washers
6. Till receipt
&c.
Sweet holy shite. It makes me fair gargle with rage*. Does he imagine that some scallywag went and f**** with his wash jets, mirrors and Werthers whilst he was momentarily paying for fuel? ARSE!
*Tut with impatience and slowly shake head whilst blowing cheeks outwards.

Why a ford needs six buttons for cruise control, when VW can do it with two.
WE LIKE HEAD.
I'm not keen on Americanisms but hell yeah 🙂
Related to the petrol station one - when you're in a queue at the checkouts and the person in front of you is told the price. And only then to they start to wonder where the **** they put their purse, rummaging round in the 74 pockets of their "organiser" handbag, their coat and eventually finding it and then counting out the spare bits of change.
Hand over £10 note and then, 3 seconds after the cashier has typed in "£10.00" and got the correct change displaying on the screen, they triumphantly hold out their hand saying "oh, I've got the 23p, does that help?"
No it ****ing doesn't! Now you've confused the cashier and added an extra minute of delay to the whole transaction which would have been over in 5 seconds if you'd had your contactless card to hand when you should have!
traffic lights on roundabouts late at night when no one is about and you still have to stop
That a local taxi firm has a sticker on the back of their cars which reads 'ADVANCED BOOKINGS ONLY'
Does this mean that basic bookings are not allowed?
It should be 'Advance'!!!^GRGRRG$$%^&%*&^**!!
Cinemas who try to sell me a pile of sugary crap with my ticket and then the idiots who munch all the crap insted of watching the film.

And having wandered our way back from NW Scotland over 2 days going from town to town I heartily agree with the Garmin satnav thing.

Supermarket checkout staff who bowl the easily crushed, bruised or squashed food you're about to pay them for at you as if it's some kind of game to see how much food you can destroy in the least time.
someone won't answer the very specific question that you asked and would rather tell you [s]what they think you need to know[/s] how important it is you deal with the thing they're not telling you about because they're pissing about telling you how important it is that you deal with it.Just answer the damn question, it's not difficult
Mrs_oab's new Trek, who bang on about 'right wheel size', so offer thier 13.5" frame as 650b not 29er. Only to fit 175mm cranks. 😕
The person in front of me at the pump at a local convenience garage during a busy time who then decides to do the weekly shop at the same time!
ITS A FUEL STATION FFS!!! 👿
People who indicate right and then left at a round about then they are going straight on. And people who don't indicate at all.

NEVER come to Holland.
People watch their shopping get scanned and go down the conveyor belt with a detached, bovine indifference, pay and get their equivalent of a green shield stamp, look at their shopping in a pile at the bottom of the conveyor. Have a think about what to do next - paint their toenails? take a walk amongst the tulips? have a dream about cheese? .... then finally consider it might be a good idea to put their shopping in some sort of .........bag.
It is like they have never been to a supermarket before in their entire lives and they have no concept of what they should be doing. Of course, the cashier doesn't help bag stuff and there is no equivalent in Dutch of the phrase "would you like some assistance with your packing".
Or it could just be that they are so money-obsessed that they are using 101% of their abilities to ensure the cashier doesn't scan something twice or overcharge them by €0.01.
The bit on the STW forum page that reads "MAIN THEME". What does that even mean? Shouldn't it be "Forum" or even "Sub-forum"?

Tip from my boss, when you have a money off voucher take it to the self checkout and scan it but put feed one of those money off home delivery in the slot. The money off one can continue to be used until it goes out of date. In the absence of a home delivery offer apparently old parking tickets can be utilised, in fact I think any bit of paper the right size will work.
Either get them to take it off, (and leave a cash tip if good service) or pay it and leave no tip. But yes, that annoys me too, just have to remember to check the receipt every time. Pretty much standard in That London though.Restaurants adding 'discretionary' 10% service charge to the bill without asking.

... after answering in the negative to "would you like some help with your packing?"
Grown-ups who ask "Can I get"?
People who queue at the cash machine and only when it is their turn do they start looking for their cash card. Once they have found it they act as if it is the first time they have every used a cash machine and press the buttons verreeeey slooowly. They then get a paper statement before deciding how much money to take out.
People who think the Post Office is place where you go to have a nice chat with John behind the counter, oblivious to the 10 people behind them in the queue who are in a rush and need to get back to work
There, their, they're on Facebook. (usually the same people who voted Yes in independence referendum or Out in EU one)
