People in supermarkets who decide they don't want something they've picked up and dump it on a random shelf. Quite it's often frozen food which will have to be thrown out because they couldn't be ar**ed to take it back to the chiller cabinet.

When they close sections of the Edinburgh by-pass (at Lothianburn for instance) and tell you to use a diversion which has traffic signal timings unable to cope with the additional volume of traffic causing major tailbacks.
:ostrich::ostrich::ostrich::ostrich::ostrich: <- Bypass traffic management planners at work
People who turn right too early and completely cut the corner. Happens a lot on side streets when as you approach the junction you have to brake sharp to avoid the front end of your car being smashed.
In the same vein people driving a car who before turning left do a big swing out to the right as if they're driving a long vehicle.
This 10000000% happens at the top of St Clair just at the back of the Famous 5 stand on a daily basis, i see it all the time and the arse who cuts the corner normally are the first to go mental at the other driver as if they are the ones in the wrong.Quote:

Agreed, it happens on pretty much any street off of Easter Road, but I realise they are a bit narrow where as my example is a wide street and no excuse to cut that corner.Quote:

It says no Loading between xxx time, which to be fair the lorry is not normally loading, but the fact its sat there taking up half the road and forcing cars, but mainly the busses, onto the wrong side. Its a nightmare as cars are coming down from abbeyhill at the same time usually means 1 or 2 cars/a bus can only get through the lights each turn of green, hence why people loose patience and cut along Montgomery street
I do that all the time:greengrinQuote:

I never understand the dynamics of this. If I've missed a call I wait a few seconds for them to leave the voicemail I'll never check then call back. No answer, even though the phone rings as normal.Quote:

I think we should be told.

In all seriousness, this morning in my local Sainsbury's I selected a crisp multipack from the main shelves, then saw walkers were doing a better deal on the offer aisle and just abandoned the original pack with the walkers, thereby ruining the effectiveness of the display.Quote:

Or when the low road to Duddingston is closed but they don't tell you until you're in the park going round the roundabout. Why can't they put a sign at the lights on Dalkeith Road then I wouldn't waste my time and petrol?Quote:

Pictures advertising food, burgers etc that look nothing like the actual food you purchase. Not a big McDonald's fan but tried the new tennesse stack burger recently, hahaha not even close to the fantastic looking burger on the picture advertising it.
And the fact if you say something about it, you are the one in the wrong!!Quote:

The first one is way too common for my liking, and some people on here probably (in fact definitely) participate in it, but it just frustrates me. :grr:
Security guards eyeballing you the minute you walk into a place.
Are they trying to intimidate me into not stealing?
Ditto ******** shop assistants in fancy shops that wear posh clothes to work and assume this elevates them above their actual customers whereas, in fact, they're shop assistants and I'm the one with the actual money to spend in here.Quote:

On a slightly similar note women, it's always women, who post a picture of the view from their balcony/sun lounger/terrace etc on social media whilst on holiday with a caption like 'how's your Monday?'Quote:

Folk who put up an umbrella and, for absolutely no reason, believe that they now rule the world, and anybody who dares to be walking on the same pavement as them better be ready to jump out the way or get an umbrella in the face.
Nah don't bother looking where you're going, it's not necessary.
Folk that repeatedly and loudly tap feet in the office. Folk that put the phone on speaker in the office.
Folk walking down the street with their phone on speaker and them talking into the bottom of the phone.
