Really minor annoyances


When standing the queue for security at an airport, people who kick their bags along the ground as the line moves along rather than picking up their luggage and moving it.

Also, people who have not removed their belt by the time they get to the conveyor belt.

Also, people who still have their coat on when they get to the conveyor belt.

People who have change in their pocket when they reach the conveyor belt.

People who have not removed their laptop from their bag when they reach the conveyor belt (London City Excluded)

People who have not put their cosmetics into a separate bag prior to reaching the conveyor belt (London City Excluded)

People who, once their items have passed through secuity at an airport do not pick up their grey container and take it to the area designed for people to get re dressed, but instead stand by the conveyor to do this.

People who get on the aeroplane as if they have never been on before
Then look around all confused and can’t find there clearly marked seats
 
News or any interview where they use two camera set up, usually outdoors. At change of camera to behind the person talking and the image just is nowhere near matching the sound/same period of conversation.

They often have the camera on the interviewee the whole time and then later they film the interviewer responding to the answers (nodding, acknowledging etc).

What’s become my minor irritation is the increasing, now almost constant technique where a presenter talks/explains to someone who’s standing to the side of the camera. They don’t present direct to the viewer. But it’s like we’re eavesdropping on a conversation they’re having with somebody on the set.
