Driven to Madness
Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Till monkey
As a part time till monkey there is nothing that annoys me more than when customers come to the counter, put their stuff down, wait untill I've started putting their items
through then fuck off to the other side of the shop to carry on looking without saying a word. This always happens when we have queues and they tend to take their time.
If you want to leave things near the till so when you eventually pay you can pick them up then fair enough.
And of course not forgetting that lovely phrase "But the sign says". If you do think you've been charged wrong then by all means speak up because it does happen. But its
the people who decide to read the sign for another item then argue that it's misleading who drive me crazy. Such as the delightful lady who wanted three tins
of Tuna for 58p because a bright yellow A5 sign said that Salt was 58p and argued with our manager for a good 20 minutes about it.

I have a slightly different issue
Where I work has two prices for a lot of things; a single price, and a bulk buy price. The latter is usually a fair bit cheaper than the former.
But even I agree the following is a bit dodgy:
Single Price £49.95
Bulk Buy Price
£39.99
No wonder people get confused if the bulk buy price is the prominent number. Ffs.
