    To be honest I thought he sounded more like Cling Film from Londons Burning.

    Get out into the big wide world sometimes, without mummy and daddy, and you may see things differently.

    What really annoys me is when these people then apologise to the checkout operator, rather than to the ever-growing queue of people behind them.

    IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE CHECKOUT OPERATORS, THEY'RE THERE UNTIL THEIR SHIFT ENDS ANYWAY. Dear God.

    Just this morning I pulled up to a very busy petrol station, pull up behind some dozy women who is in the process of filling up her people carrier. I manage to give my car a FULL tank (£62), pay, get back to the car and end up STILL waiting for her. WWHHHYYYYYY!? how do you manage to be so slow!!!??

    Re: Life is too short...

    You know, you're all missing the point of the phrase "life's too ahort". These things are just something to accept with good grace and patience. Relax, zone out for a bit and it soon passes.

    Getting stressed at other people is what makes waiting so bad!

    Very true!

    Nothing frustrates me more than people getting angry at traffic jams.

    Nothing amuses me like those people frustrated at the people angry at the traffic lights!


    If there is no control over It I am as happy & as patient as the next person. When the lights go green & someone is too busy fumbling with their shoe laces & only realises the light is green as it turns amber allowing only 1 or 2 cars to go past is when i reach for the shot gun!

    Careless/ignorant/selfish people that waste my time are the ones I really want to hold in front of a train. The sort of people who know what is going to happen but don't prepare for it. Such as walking up the bank desk and asking to withdraw money, only to fumble around looking for their debit card when the cashiers asks for it!!

    Re: Life is too short...

    This is all just sooo true. Dozy people on the underground, tourists who try to get on before anyone has got off, the gangs of foreign school kids who block the entire charing cross road walking 3-4 abreast at the pace which would have snails getting angry, the stupid idiot who thinks beeping his horn will somehow magic away the queue of 50 gridlocked cars in front of him, and when it doesn't work decides the best thing he can do is try holding it down for longer... and as for Lady Clueless McDufus at the check out, please don't get started.

    oh and I nearly forgot the "yes I'll stand on the left of the escalator with my wheelie suitcase" commuter blocker - I think it should be fair game for anyone who commutes to be given a riot shield. Between the hours of 8am-9.30am and 5pm-6.30pm it should made legal that any dozy vacant dunce standing on the wrong side, blocking the pavement, not moving down inside the carriage, or otherwise causing an obstruction should be fair game for shoving aside using said shield. They should also ban tourists from public transport at these times. It would be easy to do - restrict tube and bus access to registered Oyster cards only.

    Slightly off topic, but semi related, does anyone else find those self-service tills actually result in it taking longer to check out and leave the store?

    Re: Life is too short...

    Yes, but they can fit more into the same sized area, so theoretically it should be quicker overall.

    Not if you've got a few items, no. For a weekly shop yeah, as it keeps telling you to place the item in the bagging area when it already is.

    But I find them far quicker, scan the money, put my coins in (don't have to press the screen) and grab my change, no messing round handing the items to a cashier and then them chatting and fumbling around for change.

    It's 4.98*

    What? I genuinely misinterpreted the OP's post to begin with and was quite shocked; but wasn't sure so I checked (1st post). Obviously my first conclusion was wrong so I made light of jumping to the wrong conclusion with my 2nd post, perhaps in bad taste I admit.

    For you to wade in and point out that I jumped to the wrong conclusion as you did wasn't helpful. Now you accuse me of "finding disabled people amusing" and added further insults.

    That said, perhaps you too have jumped to the wrong conclusion so it would be hypocritical of me to judge you as you have me. Not that I particularly care; as per the title of this thread - life's too short.

    This drives me insane too....

    Though not as much as those drivers who sit at a junction and wait.

    They wait, you approach...
    They wait, you approach closer...
    You're almost on top of them...so they pull out forcing you to practically get your car up on the two front wheels and then they proceed to do the rest of the drive at 20mph regardless of the limit.

    Or the people who run red lights reaaaaaaaaaally slowly.


    Aw hell the list is endless.

    Perhaps you should take your own advice. You're pretty much the only person that read his posts as a slur against the mentally handicapped. It seems that every single time someone mentions sanythnig about the mentally handicapped, you get sand in your vagina about it.
