Idiots who race through supermarket car parks.
Nothing good is ever going to happen if you hit 42mph. Your car will not turn into a flippen time machine, nor will Frank Williams roll out in his wheel chair and say " Hey Laddie ( Matt ) awesome display of driving through that car park , fancy an F1 test drive?. No . Never. happening

all thats likely to happen is you may hit and hurt another person and put them in a hospital , or even a coffin.

Aye the speeding in supermarket car parks thing boils my piss too especially when people do it across empty bays and not the designated roadways to get ahead of other cars, nobheads the lot of em.

On the topic of contactless there's 1 cashier at th local spar who tries to take my card and tap it for me.. had a full blown stand off wth her! When she finally presented me with the card machine it was upside down and at a bad angle for light so couldn't see the amount and when I said I couldn't see the screen she said "do you not trust me like?!". Just show me the ******* screen I'll make payment and be on me way FFS. For the record they manually type in the amount on the card machine as it doesn't ring thru from till and no I didn't trust her to do it accurately..

Haha re. old people at the cash point! When they get a second card out you know you're gonna be there a while. A comedian was talking about this once (can't mind which one) but his comment was "it's not winner stays on!"

To be fair you wouldn't exactly expect to run into a coffin in a supermarket car park.

A variant of Cougars mini-cab drivers. People stopping to talk with their friend just coming in the door, in the doorway. In or out you thoughtless ****s.

A variant on the level theme. The child who always goes to the toilet as meal time is called. Despite knowing what time we were serving. Every. Bloody. Time. And his ancient Uncle. (The child is mid-20's now).

I know it's been done above and I love Germany and the Netherlands to bits but seriously not taking plastic in restaurants and supermarkets!?!

I can pay for a loaf of bread and some chilli Bovril with a credit card in rural South Africa but not in a Dutch city. Bonkers.

Oh and that reminds me I've never seen Chilli Bovril for sale ever again since the one jar I bought in Cape Town in 2007. It's the ultimate variant of "extract" toast toppings. It must be made again. I'm now reaching almost a decade of disappointment since the last scrapings were extracted from the jar.

People who are too stupid to realise that the pump nozzle will quite easily reach both sides of most cars and wait for "their side" to be free.
Except when it doesn't. I've been caught out with short hoses before and had to do the Circle of Shame back round to the back of the queue again.

People that reverse into supermarket parking spaces (usually badly) and then try and squeeze their trolley (or at least overladen bags) down the side when they return, usually dragging them against the car next to them. FFS if there's one time it makes sense just to drive into a space it's when you're going to be loading your boot up with stuff later!

People that leave litter in trolleys

People that block the aisle chatting away and then pretend it's a shock they might be inconveniencing someone when you ask them to move (when I'm older and grumpier I'm just going to start telling them to f** off out of my way rather than being polite about it).

People that let their kids run wild around supermarkets. It's not a playground, I shouldn't have to be ready at a split second's notice to move my trolley out the way lest an over-excited child run into it. Feed them less sugar or take them to the park beforehand or something...
