Add:-
Toilet paper roll is round wrong way for me
Sign in shop says Buy one get one free - only there is only one
Favourite brands just suddenly get delisted
Crowds congregate in shopping aisles to blether, just where I need to go or get through
Familiar products get shifted to another place in shop and you wander around looking for them
Same problem, but when you ask staff, they don't know either!

Doddery Old Wifies in paper-shop queues.
They queue up to buy their newspapers, then add on cigarettes, stationery, a wee toy for little Jimmy, a box of Jaffa Cakes and then she asks ‘Do you have any nice wrapping paper?’, dragging the by now embarrassed assistant all over the shop.
When they finally get everything rung up on the till then and only then does the old dear think about actually paying for her goods! (God's sake, are you surprised that they might ask you for financial recompense?) Raking in her bag for her purse, and then raking in her purse for the exact change, counting it out penny by penny, only to realise at the last moment that she hasn’t enough small change and ‘could she change a twenty?’
When the transaction is over, she then proceeds to carefully replace everything back into her purse, and handbag.
Slowly.
Very.
Very.
Slowly.
Just as I’m about to shout (at the top of my voice) ‘GET OUT OF MY WAY, YOU DODDERY OLD BA…’ she then politely asks for all her goods to be placed in a carrier bag, as ‘it might rain later on…….’
Jesus H., I only want to pay for my soft-porn-orientated tabloids!
PS. No offence intended to any Old Wifies that aren't doddery in the slightest. ;)

Did you ever see The 2 Ronnies when they did Fork Handles/Four Candles? Imagine queueingbehind someone like that? Be there all day.
Oh! Must remember how many folk wait to hear what the bill is before they start rummaging for money, either cash from purse/wallet/pocket or have to fumble around getting to a cheque or card.
The most annoying are pop ups advertising pop up blockers!!!!!
Always accompanied by immense irritation when these get shut down.
Who actually encourages these people by falling for this one?
When you are in a queue on a phonecall and 5 ... 10 ... 15 ... minutes later they say
'thank you for your patience, your call will be answered shortly'
WHAT PATIENCE!?!?

And when you finally get through to a 'human voice' that says 'I'll pass you through to the person/department that deals with this', and you wait and wait but nothing happens except that miserable canned music plays incessantly, occasionally interrupted by 'Trying to connect you'.:(

Connie, I heard that's the tight persons way of using less... you're pulling the paper against the roll, so you only get a couple of squares, as opposed to the freefall you get when it's running clockwise [lol] [lol] !

Don't you just hate it when the kids take the last ice pop, lolly or biscuit out of the box or anything else for that matter and still stick the empty box back in the cupboard or freezer.[disgust]
By the way it's not just the kids who do it :roll:

Why? What were you doing that you shouldn't have been? Getting in a fankle with the toilet roll the wrong way round again? or trying to reach those 'hard to reach tight places even?
i have to agree with you Kingetter.
clockwise is best but kids usually get there first lol

Me too, I have been known to change other peoples loo rolls to this prefered position when visiting. And yes I am a bit obsessive compulsive. I also like my washing hung a certain way and with matching pegs. I try to refrain from changing others washing to my liking whilst visiting. (But have been known to stray toward the washing line :~( )
I used to have a lodger who put the loo roll the opposite way to me, so I would change it. Next time I went in it would be the opposite way. So the loo changing was like a little battle, then I started just swapping it at weekends when my boyfriend was staying - I was sure she'd be getting as annoyed as me that it kept getting changed, so I thought I'd let him take the blame :lol:

Here's how to annoy whoever annoys you by turning the roll round 'the wrong way' whichever way. Use double sided tape. If loose end runs down wall, tape loose end to wall, if loose end comes the other way, tape it down to roll and just turn it around so next user (hopefully not yourself) can't see the join. Chances are you may not have to redecorate the loo unless you don't like blue decor:lol: Of course, you won't be popular!

Lolabelle, I too am completely obsessive about how my washing is hung, and the pegs have to be matching. Start with blue, then green, then yellow, finally the red ones [lol] . I've enen been known th colour co-ordinate my washing as I hang it! Mind you, with two WeeBurdies now, I have a lot morew washing, so I reserve the colour co-ordination for my dish-towels only.
It sounds like such strange behaviour when I write it down...[lol]
