What you have to do is pick a queue that has lots of men. Men don't make conversation and seem to know where their credit cards are prior to entering the queue. Men also don't tend to drag children around, nor buy loads and loads.
people who block pavements and stop dead at the end of escalators or the moment they step foot onto the pavement after crossing a busy road, trapping you in front of oncoming traffic.
the usual conversation is as follows.
'excuse me... '
<louder> 'excuse me....'
<louder with hint of sarcasm and urgancy> 'EXCUSE ME PLEASE!'
<and last result> 'FOR FUCKS SAKE GET OUT OF THE BLOODY WAY!'
They always pick up on the last one, act mortally offended and ALWAYS say the same thing... 'All you has to do was say 'excuse me' - don't you have any manners?'
People who let their dogs shit everywhere and don't clean it up. I've seen them, pretending not to see. All innocent like. You know who you are.
People in cars who think all people on bicycles are stationary objects. "Oh, I'll just pull out to overtake this bike. Wait, they're actually doing 20mph and I haven't got time to overtake without hitting oncoming traffic. Better sound my horn as if it's their fault I'm a fricking moron".
Finally, people who expect you to stand in the road, walk through a fountain or stop in your car for minutes at a time because they've had children. Whether they're transporting said germ bags in a pram or a 4x4, as far as they're concerned the rest of the world can go to hell. The arrogance of the parent: It's ugly and antisocial. Please stop.

Well, if you can demonstrate a competant ability to fuck around with a live board with 2500 users and nearly a gig of database without fucking it up, I might just do that one day. You know, just for a laugh like
Oh fuck, all the avatars would look like Lorraine Kelly then wouldn't they??

Cat shit for me. Until our dog died, we had her shit in the garden as much as possible, so there was always a shit in the garden. Once she was gone, I was looking forward to a shi free garden but every cat for about 5 blocks descended on the lawn and shat it into oblivion. Had our dog shat on any of these neighbour's lawns, we'd be going to priison or something.
Your pet, your mess. Fucking get it off my property.

People who, just because they haven't managed to sire a child yet, seem to think it more of an inconvenience for them to move aside to let a pushchair past than it would be for the parent to wheel their child into the road, and that all children should be either banned from public places, or restrained in sound- and germ-proof isolation booths

I'll not support a ban on children in public if everyone promises to bring their child up in such a way that they don't think the chair next to me in the cafe is a trampoline then fall into my phone and drink, while their parents alternate between having a conversation with their mate and glancing at said child and asking them in a manner the child doesn't give a shit about to stop bouncing.
If that means a parent never gets to go to Starbucks because they can't control their spawn, tough.

Fortunately I've havent yet been subjected to that because my DVD player seems to skip over them when I hit "DVD title" on the remote. And it's a Sony player, go figure.
