Really minor annoyances

How mobiles are rendered completely unreadable in the slightest sunlight.


If I lived in a sunny country I'd just have a basic phone with nae touchscreen.

People who pack into bags rather than the trolly at Lidl. Dont mind the odd one that fires it in at warp speed, its the ones that use one hand cos theyve got their handbag over the other or those that meticulously pack the bags by content type and spend ages trying every bottle for shape like its the world tetras championship . Saves them time at home but costs the 5 behind in the queue. Pure selfish ignorance.

Why don't Aldi have any sort of area where your purchases collect after they have been scanned? Probably to encourage you to pack faster I expect and ensure their scanning rate remains fast. The checkout staff are very good at stacking your items on the little bit of a suface around the cage where they sit. Mine is like this don't know if they are all the same. I just take my time and eventually there is no space for anything more to be stacked. Stop taking the pee Aldi, not everyone is an olympic speed packer.

cos they have separate areas away from the tills where you can sort your shit out at your leisure. Fire it all in the trolley and move on
 
Disposing of excess soil. The only joy to be had from it is when someone says, ‘have you tried to bury it?!’

People who decide they no longer want an item in the supermarket so just leave it where they are. A loaf of bread in with the red wine in Sainsburys today. How f***ing pig ignorant, arrogant and lazy do you have to be not to take a couple of minutes to take it back to where you got it?

In a similar vein, people who pick things off the shelf, fondle it to f*ck and then decide they don't want it and throw it back.

Just gently place it back where it was, it's not difficult. Once seen a bloke throw a sandwich back that ended up bursting the wrapper and the sandwich went all over. He just walked off.
 
The queues in Aldi and Lidl for self service where everyone is in the same queue but some of the machines are card only. Half the people in the queue are cash only so I end up standing with my card behind several customers who are waiting for a cash machine to be free. I don't know this though without asking each one of them how they are paying. Means I end up spending a minute or so wasting time.
 
People sitting in cars talking on loudspeaker either early morning or late at night
Some bloke after 11 last night for over half an hour
Couldn't even work out where he was in the area
Train guy patter gets extra marks

It's crazy how we've went as a society from thinking "How much of a dick would you have to be to make a telephone call in public." to broadcasting it on a speaker at night.
