    That's up there with one of my favourite things.
    Also, queuing in the popcorn line for cinema tickets & your told the movie's sold out ages ago when you get to the till.
    Or there's someone in front of you in the garage paying for a pack of chewing gum with laser card.

    No, none of these things phase me anymore.... I'm above all that.

    Wait until you explode for no apparent reason. That's going to be fun. Make sure to do it in a public place so it gets on the news.

    I just love when I'm standing in a supermarket queue and the person behind is jabbing my ankles with their trolley or trying to break my back with with their basket.

    Farmers herd cattle, are you trying to herd me up the queue?

    And then we are in queue for 10 minutes and you have a look of such shock when you are asked for money so you search your bottomless handbag for aaaaaages

    People who start looking for their wallet/purse after all their items have been scanned in, all the while with a shocked look on their face that they actually have to pay for their stuff.

    Anyone know that film where the guy flips his lid and starts blowing **** up? There's a scene in it where he's trying to assemble a rocket launcher but can't figure it out when a kid comes up to him and explains how it's done, anyone know it?

    OP, you'll be the guy in that film, whatever it's called.

    I know no cinemas that sell pop corn or whatever before selling you a ticket. The ticket stand is always before the snacks stall.

    People who cost the state billions through a combination of incompetence and selfish self interest and then retire on obscenely high pensions – they don’t annoy me at all.

    Karma. That's all I can think about in relation to that.

    Might not happen to them it might happen to their kids but it will kick in somewhere along the line.

    Service charges in restaurants for groups of six or more
    I'm bringing a big group, giving you lots of business and you charge me extra? You should be giving me a discount!

    Getting change in a restaurant. Suppose it's €11.
    Stop giving me all euro and two euro coins in the hope I'll tip. I will tip but I know exactly what you're doing with all the change in coins

    Take away driver: Stop standing in my doorstep for aaaaages fumbling for change in the hope I'll say keep it. Again, I often tip but I don't like your tactics.

    Mr. Taxi driver, you're another one fond of fumbling for change and hoping for a tip, you listen too!

    I actually find this oddly hypnotising.

    It's slow, unsightly and awkward and you get the feeling that it's one small step away from the whole thing could come crashing down.

    A bit like a couple of fatties having sex.

    I've seen lines move faster in sperm banks.

    Water-boarding.

    I just hate that feeling of impending death by suffocation/drowning.

    Oh and when people put empty containers/bottles etc back in the cupboard - get a ****ing grip ppl.
