What annoys me is when the person in front who has just filled up of you leaves their vehicle by the pump while they go in and pay for their fuel ( And like you say, maybe other things too, coffee, air fresheners cos they have a flatulent dog on the back seat) instead of moving it out of the way so that those of us still in the queue can move up.

Once got accused of stealing petrol because of this.
I parked at empty pump, filled up and paid at pump and was leaving the forecourt when the lady on tills came running out and waving. I said that I had paid at pump. I didn't bother getting a receipt (Because 9/10 U wait there while it prints but nobody has bothered to reload the paper)

I go to the till and she runs my card through and it matches a payment made. She then shouts out "anybody on pump 4?" A guy, busy reading through the mags, says he is and that he moved his car while he paid. I had overtaken him in paying effectively. Not impressed, I take my card back and leave. Didn't appreciate being escorted back in and accused in front of a queue of people. She did say sorry tho

Mobile phone!
Pointless phone calls of people just wondering if I'm interested in doing a totally shite job for free
Waiting for cash, cash flow always holds my business back while the Range Rover driving slow payers wave the royal wave at me, the mere peasant that doesn't need paying for 3 months!

Rubbish lorries.
Why are they allowed the freedom of the road. Wrong way down the high street, just stop in the road. Heaven forbid you get caught behind one in the village on a single track road. You can then watch them load all the rubbish from your neighbours, Because they will not move out the way

Yummy mummies that park on double yellowies and bus stops... they put on the hazards and wander off for a coffee in Ill fiting gym gear that hasn’t seen sweat for years... they are then the first to complain when the town grinds to a halt due to traffic.... caused by them....
