    Anyone who describes a TV show, film, book etc as "adult" drama,literature etc. (the obvious exception being if they are describing porn) or dismisses something for not being "Adult".

    Complete wankery of the highest order screaming of someone claiming : Oh this is something that only real sophisticates like myself can enjoy and the rest of simply shouldn't bother with it.

    Anyone with a trolley load of food who is still loading the groceries onto the conveyor and purposely ignores you standing there with just one or two things.

    They could let you go ahead but they're wan*ers

    People who are obsessed with people's grammar mistakes. Obvious but needed to be said.

    Usually you'd go to a different type of till though? An express one or self service one.

    As far as I'm concerned, where I shop, if I'm next in the queue then I'm going next. If I saw someone with a couple of items I'd be wondering what they were doing in my "full trolley" queue.

    You never shop at Aldi/Lidl then?

    If you shop at aldi, the tiller can't start scanning until you've fully unloaded your trolley, so it makes sense to let people through who have only a few items.

    I do find it funny though when someone's trying to make a smart retort to someone's comment and they make a basic grammar mistake.

    Usually Dunnes or SuperValu.

    I fully understand your woes now! Must be annoying.

    Tbh the last thing on most people's mind when doing grocery shopping is how many items the person behind has. I know when I'm there I wanna gtfo away from all those slow walkers and aisle hoggers

    I find it funny that grammar bullies have very few real friends that like them.

    The idea that someone ahead of you in the queue is a tosser for not letting you go first is ridiculous. I don't care how much stuff they have.

    It may be in aldi , where the tiller can't start scanning until the trolly is emptied! It doesn't delay the person with the full trolly

    Might not be a tosser but definitely an inconsiderate prick. Imagine the thoughts of losing 2 minutes of your life by doing something nice for someone.

    Or kiss chasing as it should be known.

    The first question I ask blokes who play it is would they play it if it wasn't mixed?

    I've just agreed to join my company's tag rugby team. It's going to be mixed and I'm looking forward to it.

    There's a after match social element to it.

    The girl I have the hots for also plays. Hopefully, she'll be playing again his year and I'll get to know her better.

    Signing up for Tag rugby has a purely ulterior motive

    The thing is that they may already have let one or two people with only a few items ahead of them and if they were to stay doing that they'd never get home.

    Possibly even a 'warning sign that someone is a tosser'?

    I've been at one tag rugby wedding (family member) and there were a couple of other engagements within the team at that time.

    As Jack Presley said this is mostly an aldi/lidl problem!

    Even still in Tesco/Dunnes etc it can happen. The cashier may be the only option as self service queues can be a nightmare! Just the main difference is the cashier can start scanning.

    Tis a pain in the proverbial

    Not if they're still loading their groceries up!

    I wouldn't fancy being stuck behind you with a trolley load to pack onto the conveyor and me with a litre of milk. As has been said in aldi and lidl they can't scan until everything is packed up

    Grown men in soccer jerseys. Watching the snooker here and I can see at least 4 people in the audience in soccer jerseys. They even mentioned it at the interval. I automatically think they're a wanker. Unless you're playing soccer, or at a match, don't wear it. And the fools who refer to their beloved team as "us" and "we", have never even been in England, I avoid them like the plague.
