Could have been worse, and an offence in several US states.

Just read the second chapter last night. Already found two errors that should have been sorted by an editor. 

Errors that should have been fixed by the editors. That irritates me, no end.

Its only getting worse, as well. Modern standards are very poor in comparison to what they once were. 

Ee by gum. Change ain't good. 

Pensioners who go shopping at the supermarket  on Saturdays or to the Post Office/Bank at lunchtime.  Times when those of us who work need to go.  They have all week why cant they go outside of peak hours?

We had to put up with it when we worked ... now it's our turn

People who think others should organise their lives so that they can have it easy!

I am a pensioner.

I do my weekly shop on a Monday morning 'cos if I go on a Saturday or a Sunday then everywhere is so busy with all the weekday workers making queues everywhere.

When I was working, if I required a doctor's appointment, I preferred to have an earliest as possible time before 9.00 am so that I didn't have to make up too much time at work. Now that I am retired, I always refuse any early time that is offered so that you younger guys can get a more suitable time.

... ok, so its also a factor that I like a long lie in bed. 

Pensioners feeling every loaf on the supermarket display

Also those who stop in the narrowest point of the aisle.

And people who don't have their cash/card/vouchers out and ready when about to pay.

ARGGGGH

That's what I would have thought.  I work shifts and if an appointment falls on a day off I request an appointment so its does not take up the early or late slots for workers.

Where I used to live trying to get a doctor's appointment was harder than winning the lottery so I would take whatever was offered. Nowadays, I have the luxury of being able to pick and choose so I take the later option.

Also, not yet being of pensionable age in this country -although getting closer by the day- my pet hate used to be pensioners who think that it's ok to shove people out of the way to jump a queue especially at bus stops!

Ignorance! Ignorance! Ignorance!!!

Strange.

When Mrs T and I first moved over here 10 (11?) years ago.....You just went down to the quack's and joined the queue.
If you were first into the waiting room, in the morning..any particular day.......You were first to be seen.
NEVER any problems in getting an 'appointment'...There weren't any 'proper' appointments.
It was great.

Sadly we've joined the modern world regarding appointments now.
I just try and never bother going down there.
