Or people who, upon getting off a train or tube, immediately stop to gawk around like a lost fool or sort out their luggage etc and cause a total logjam for everyone else trying to get on or off the train.

People who start every sentence with "so."

Agreed.

Another one is "You know what?" It's usually the precursor to some self-righteous guff. I've been going on about it for ages but, you know what? They're still doing it.

Likewise people at the store check out fumbling through their bag/pockets for their purse or wallet.
FFS, know where it is beforehand, ya numptie. You've probably just stood in a queue for five minutes with your finger up your derriere.

People who stop dead at the end of an escalator, or walk across the path of the escalator right in front of you. I take a sick pleasure in barging right into them, if at all possible with something blunt and heavy right in the shins.

People who block the escalator at a train/underground station despite all the signs saying "stand to the left" to allow people in a hurry to get past quickly. And they just stand there utterly oblivious.

According to Scouse Hibee you're supposed to not moan about this and use the stairs.

Only cos electricity only reached Merseyside in the last couple of years and they still stare at the "moving staircase" uttering phrases like "what witchcraft be this?!"

Sneaky managers who make it their mission to try and catch out staff..... especially the ones who used to work on the shop floor and know and took advantage of all the tricks in the book. Snakes.

I posted on this irritating fad back in the annals of this thread. It might go out of fashion slowly just like the demise of the overuse of Australian questioning intonation, which is on the decrease, thank God.

There's a German film "Das Experiment" that covers the story. Not sure if it was released in the UK but was quite big over here.

Oven gloves. In my experience, every "purpose made" oven glove has been hopeless at holding anything warmer than a kid running a temperature.

Always end up with a tea towel folded over a couple of times which does the job perfectly.

My Hibs oven gloves do the trick nicely, probably because they're Hibs class.

Going up the stairs in your house that you've lived in for 10 years and taking an extra step at the top.
Never a good thing.

Having the " excuse me you are in my seat" conversation on the train yesterday. To be told by the lassie, "the seat reservations aren't working so I just sat here". I then explained that you don't need the reservation system to be working to be able to read your ticket and sit in the correct seat.
