When you're waiting to get off a train and the person nearest the door frantically jabs at the "close" button rather than the "open" one or, worse still, just stands there as if the train doors are going to open magically by themselves.
Haha exactly, how are you meant to pick them out if you don't know what they are?!Also Captcha sites when they these use weird American expressions like "crosswalks" when they mean "zebra crossings".
And fire hydrants as well, whatever they are!
I used to work in this industry and the entitlement some people had was actually unreal. They would throw a tit fit if the system gave them a credit limit of £1,000 on their credit card, thinking they are entitled to much more. Meanwhile I’m sitting looking at their credit file and can see they are three months behind on another card and are lucky to even be accepted for one. Not that you can say that to them, which was a buggerI work in financial services and one thing that annoys is when customers throw a tantrum when you turn them down for lending due to completely unrealistic expectations. If someone earns say £25000 and asks for a mortgage of £500000 (it does happen). You have to think of numerous diplomatic ways to say ‘give your head a wobble’ and they will inevitably say something along the lines of “If I was rich you would lend me it!”. Well duh that’s kind of the point!
The second part of this, is when they somehow get a loan they can't really afford and they don't keep up with the payments, and legal proceedings are started to recover the money, they are so shocked.I work in financial services and one thing that annoys is when customers throw a tantrum when you turn them down for lending due to completely unrealistic expectations.

Precisely this. I wasn’t working in the industry when the last financial crash hit, and I was very much a supporter of the “greedy bankers caused this” mantra. But once I started working here I quickly saw the shades of grey. Yes the banks had some responsibility that is beyond question, but the complete lack of restraint shown by Joe Public (some not all!) in financial matters was just . Do you really need to borrow £10,000 at an exorbitant rate to fund a kitchen makeover six months after the last one? I quickly learned that lending to some customers is as unwise as letting a shaggaholic loose in a brothel. It can only end in regret and a nasty rash. Unfortunately those customers always tend to be the ones who shout loudest.I used to work in this industry and the entitlement some people had was actually unreal.

When you’re selling something on marketplace and people ‘like’ your post but don’t offer to buy it I’ve even had people comment ‘lovely’ or whatever. Like, thanks but do you want to buy it or not? Why even comment. So odd.
Afternoon tea in generally is a frustrating conceptWhen people call Afternoon Tea “High Tea” because they think it sounds posher. High Tea is not posh, and it’s the total opposite of Afternoon Tea.
I gotta admit, I do love going out for a fancy Aftternoon Tea (when it was allowed)Afternoon tea in generally is a frustrating concept
Mini sandwiches and cakes at an extortionate price!!! Think of what you could get for the cost from Lidl
The food is sooOooooo nice. I have been loads and I like it. I just dislike paying for itI gotta admit, I do love going out for a fancy Aftternoon Tea (when it was allowed)
I’m glad someone else has picked up on this! We used to serve high tea at a cafe I worked in years ago, it’s literally a pensioners early bird hot dinner, bread and butter on the side, a wee cake and copious amounts of tea. NOT the same as dainty sandwiches and cupcakes!When people call Afternoon Tea “High Tea” because they think it sounds posher. High Tea is not posh, and it’s the total opposite of Afternoon Tea.
I unfriend them also.Having a huge energy boost at night so you empty all your kitchen cupboards ready to rearrange in the morning and wake up without a spare bit of energy
People on FB who never comment on any of your posts except once a year to criticise something. Bye bye
