    When you get to the bar just after a group of people you haven't quite made their mind up what they want and start debating as the bar staff stand there politely....
    A quick, "serve this gentleman while we decide" can admonish them though”

    I have to say that is just common-sense or good manners to let others go before You while You decide, but unfortunatley both of these are fast
    diminishing in this sefish era that We now live in.
    Here's another that is soooooo annoying: You stand in the que at the local Supermarket with a handfull of items but the person in front who has a trolley full of shopping totally ignores You and carrys on filling the conveyer belt , When She has finished She gives You a smile and stands there all smug.
    That is so annoying Especially when I have let others go before Me when Ive had a trolley full. (IM refering to supermarkets who dont have theses Fast service tills )."

Stop annoying me!

To whom it concerns Madam, I didn't at all mind the other evening as we all waited patiently at the petrol station whilst you remained parked at Pump 1 as you did what appeared to be your weekly shop.

Even when your young daughter popped back in to get herself a bar of chocolate as a separate expedition, I thought it was unreasonable of the guy behind to even suggest you could have parked 5 yards away in the designated parking area.

As we'd all waited 15 - 20 minutes, what did another 2 or 3 make?

And the guy who gave me a long burst on his horn after I'd invited a motorist to right turn across me whilst we were stationary in a traffic queue therefore allowing the traffic behind him to flow on.

I didn't mind.

Have I forgotten supermarket etiquette?

I've heard them described as ditherers, dawdlers & dollopers.

They leave their trollies all over the shop, use them as battering rams, stand gazing into space.

What about those opinionated folk who always tell you what you should think, never mind tell you what they think!

Of course I've never annoyed anyone!

I've never been absent mindedly selfish when driving, shopping, going about my daily life.

My wife's never admonished me for putting my washing near the washing basket, not actually in it.

I always put the top on the toothpaste tube, put the cereal's box back in the right cupboard. Need I continue? We are all perfect, aren't we!

What do you do that you know annoys others? What annoys you about the actions of others?

Or should we all be a little bit more thoughtful & considerate, a liytle bit more patient & tolerant?
