I'm sorted.
People who get themselves big cars then can't manoeuvre them in car parks.
There's a particular local car park that, I will admit, is quite tight but they all pull into the spaces rather than reversing in then can't get out! Sat waiting for nearly fifteen minutes to park through the week whilst these twats jockeyed their behemoths in and out of their spaces trying to get the right angle to miss the car behind and pull away and failing miserably. It wasn't until an elderly gentleman got out of his car and lent a hand that they managed it.

Plenty around here who can't even manage a small car (useless gits!).

Clearly the way new drivers are taught/and/or what the current test entails is shit. They can't parallel park, can't reverse more than an inch, don't know the width of their vehicle, don't know who has right of way at a roundabout....the list goes on!

tosser drivers of both sexes in 4wd's with go faster stripes that hit their horn as they drive past you at high speed whilst you ARE manouvering in a tight and crowded car park, and have the nerve to make them concentrate and put their mobile down for 3 seconds....

Yup, there's another pet hate of mine: idiots who are continually 'glued' to their mobile phones - as if their lives simply can't function without them!

Yeah, they walk backwards into you at the supermarket. Don't stop 'chatting' at the checkout (that's real bad manners). Wander out to their car, get in and drive off, still 'chatting'!

If I am shopping and can see someone "palm gazing" I let them get within an inch and shout "BEEEPP" very loudlyScares the shit out of them.

Some sort of mini EMP device that shuts them all down within a hundred foot radius. That would be fun
Used to be if you went out for a smoke at work you would have a chat and a laugh with the other smokers. Now they are all mesmerised by their telephones.
