ATM's/Cash point dawdlers
You know the ones - its late, you're late, it's raining, there's a massive queue but there isn't another ATM for another mile so you wait in the queue patiently until the flow is interupted by the people who (even though they have been waiting in the queue for the last 2 weeks and still haven't got their card ready)fumble in their bag for wallet, open wallet (lots of fumbling), take out card, slowly insert their card, press every button possible, pause, have a statement printed, study the statement (why ?), eject card, don't withdraw cash, insert another, print out statement again, study statement, eject card, fumble around putting card back in wallet, wallet back into bag then shuffle off WITHOUT GETTING ANY FUCKING CASH OUT....GRRRRRR...

My point is this - do you have no fricking life that you would rather wait for hours in a cue to check your statements AND NOT withdraw cash rather than use either phone or internet banking and use the time more productively AND SAVE EVERYBODY ELSE 5 MINUTES IN THEIR DAY THEY WILL OTHERWISE NEVER GET BACK...EVER !

There are also
The ones who put their card in, print out a mini-statement, eject their card, read the mini-statement and then put the card back in to withdraw money. There is a button that says "any more services", or suchlike, so you can use Another service, which means you don't have to do all that.

and my personal pet hate
I tend to witness this in London.

There's a queue. It's long, but everyone seems to finish up slightly quicker than they normally would. You get to the front and realise why - the cash point doesn't have any fucking money in it, and none of the 15 morons in front thought to inform the rest of the queue.

grr
