Able bodied people parking in disabled bays. Their excuse is always "I'm just going to be a minute."

People who don't bother to find out where they are going ahead of time!
I work in a private medical clinic located in a hospital. I wish I had a dollar for every patient who comes to the hospital for a medical appointment without checking first where they need to be. They walk in the front door, walk right past the receptionist (whose job it is to give them directions), walk right past the gigantic wall-to-wall directory which lists every doctor with their level number and suite number, get in the lift, take the lift to the top floor (despite not knowing where they are going), ignore the abundant overhead signs which give them directions, and then walk up to my door (because it's the closest one to the lift), read the eye-level sign which says, as politely as possible, that if they require directions they should consult the receptionist and directory downstairs, ignore the sign and come in anyway, to ask for directions - or even worse (and this happens all the time), they'll say "I've got a doctor's appointment but I don't know who the doctor is".
Since all the suites are separate, private businesses, there's no way I can answer that question. And don't they get huffy when I tell them I don't know! When I point out that there is a directory and receptionist on the ground floor next to the lift, they will inevitably whine "But I just came from there" and they will not, under any circumstances, go back down there because "I'm already late!"
I am amazed by the number of people who try very hard to make their problem my problem. It wouldn't be so bad if it only happened occasionally but it happens a dozen times a day and it is extremely disruptive, not to mention annoying. Our clinic is so busy we simply don't have the time for this nonsense.

Sorry I hit enter. I am agreeing with Ponoke about the wireless enternet. I just went with Cricket Wireless and I am not getting very good reception. When that happens it drops me. I finally bought an extention for the gadget and I am getting a little better reception.

Bottles with those push-down twist tops followed by a
thick plastic seal over the top of the bottle, and finally 3 feet of cotton stuffed inside!

People who try to enter a lift (elevator) without letting people in the lift exit first. Even though they can see you are trying to exit, they will not step to one side and let you out. Instead they rudely push past you, bumping into you as they go. This happens to me on a daily basis at the hospital. Even if you don't know the correct etiquette, surely common sense indicates that you should let the people in the lift disembark before you get try to get in.

Bob, I am just having a prolonged rant about that in Another Place. We have visions of Old People all over the country making gingerbread to lure in five-year-olds who *can* open childproof caps.
MG, sometimes we are in such crowded places that we can't easily stand up straight, and sometimes we have to place our feet wherever we can find a space. I hope your feet don't get in the way of these busy, rushed people. It would be such a shame if, while they were pushing you out of their way, they tripped over your feet and then went flying.

Another work-related rant. Because of the shortage of doctors in our area of medicine, we have a six-month waiting list for appointments. Every day I get dozens of calls that go like this:
"Hello, can I please have the first available appointment with the doctor?"
"I'm sorry but our first available appointment is June 14 next year".
"Haven't you got anything earlier?"
One of these days I'll snap and snap back with "What did I just tell you?"

Posts in threads about entertainers, or authors, that say "I've never heard of them," and posts that say "I wasn't born then" in threads about recent history.
Why are you bothering to post?

Lesley, I think it must have to do with territorial imperative. If there's a spot to be marked, some people just have to leave evidence they've been there.

The sad thing is that some of them have got the Chatterbox Badge, and may have had it for months or years. Perhaps they can't get out of the habit of posting for the sake of posting; perhaps they are just cocking a leg over the threads; or perhaps, most worryingly of all, they genuinely belive that "I dunno" or "never heard of it" is a worthwhile contribution.
