If you use buses like me does it annoy you that people wait until they are on the bus to sort out their pass, change or the right page on their phones?
Could this not have been sorted while waiting for the bus rather than holding everyone up?
Could see today's driver getting annoyed by it. |

Lol we were just having a slight wtf moment about people who leave their ticket to get out of the long stay airport car park in their suitcase, in the boot of their car. It's always the suitcase on the bottom of the pile too. Then we realised we were the people who didn't write down where we parked properly and had to be driven round in the special car parking van until we spotted our car   |

Same as queuing in a shop. Stand for an eternity in a queue to pay at a till. Stand with item in one hand.
Get to till, present said item, then start rummaging in pockets or handbag for purse or cash  |

Used to irritate me a lot but it doesn't happen so much now I live in London because all the buses are cashless. And most people have their card ready Plus often the driver doesn't hang around long enough so he/she has driven off while you're still fiddling in the bag or pockets.  |

Dont remind us we came back from holiday a few years ago and almost had a row as Mrs Tyne adamant that we had parked in area N near some trees/bushes next to the bus stop. Was convinced we were in area A overlooking the runway. Neither of us as right we were in area C |

My friend actually reported his car stolen because he had parked on level 4 of a multi storey.
The parking attendant and security helped him search every floor just incase he was mistaken, couldn't find it. So security checked the camera and couldn't see the car ever entering the car park. He had completely forgotten that he was using a hire car. we never let him forget that. |

My aunt who was erm shall we say "eccentric", reported her car stolen. Hours later she remembered where she'd parked it.
Then there was the time she was on the point of calling the AA because she couldn't get into her car. It was only when the owner of the car identical to hers arrived and asked her why she was trying to get in to it that she realised hers was in the next row.
Don't even get me started on the list car key incident if Christmas 2005 |

No we were starting to think about getting a taxi as I am wandering around pressing the key fob and we heard the car beep and the doors unlock. |

In a supermarket car park and this old gentleman is looking lost and confused Mrs asks him what is wrong and he says he can't find his car. She volunteers our help and for the next ten minutes we wander around looking for ablue vauxhall astra there are none in the car park. Eventually old gentleman looks across at some cars and says there it is, it a white Ford escort.
We actually stood and watched him drive away as we were not convinced he actually had a car when he said that. |

"Same in shops. You queue for ages only to find that when it comes to pay, the person in front can't find their purse, emember their card pin or whatever. It's bizarre. lol
"
My nemesis is coupon lady.
Not only does she act surprised that she has to pay but also produces a wadge of coupons/green shield stamps and ration books.
She will them examine each individual coupon etc to decide whether she had indeed put that item in the trolley and there are loads.
The checkout girl will take each voucher proffered and run it through the scanner and maybe four in ten will go through as the others are out of date (these will be put back into her purse for another try next time).
Then....
Out comes the purse as she tries to pay with the exact change (in loose change) and finds she's twelve pounds and twenty seven pence short, so then she will proffer a ten pound note and still be short.
So she then has to decide which items she wants to put back but pays by card instead.
In the meantime the enormous queue at the opposite till has gone, the security guy wants to lock up and go home and I've lost the will to live.

You did ask
To cut a very long story as short as possible. Her car key went missing between the kerb and my front door. Thorough search revealed no key. I drove her to my mum's to pick up spare key to her house so she could get spare car key. Spare house key won't open front door, "is it key for back door?" I ask, "definitely not" replies aunt. Drive her to Uncles house for another identical spare key, on the way she suddenly screamed "where are you going?" I explained and she said " oh I forgot I thought we were going to the station. Get to Uncles house pick up identical key to the one we just got from my mum. Drive back to aunts, key won't fit front door. "Dear aunt would you please try the key in the back door" I plead, much tutting aunt tries key in back door, it magically fits. Car key retrieved, back to my house on the way she in informs me that uncle we just got house key from also has a spare key for her car . Arrive at mine, open car, key is in the boot... |
