Women (or anyone for that matter ... but nine times out of ten it IS women) who can't go for a 2k run without taking a small bottle of water with them.

Car Park ticket queues.
It really is a very simple 3 step process:
1. Look at the tariff and cost for the time you want to park
2. get the coins out
3. Enter the coins into the machine, press a green button and take the ticket.
When there is a queue tasks 1 and 2 can be completed while in the queue, leaving just task 3 to be completed once the machine is free.
Fuck me some people just can't do this to help us all get parked quicker, and not only that add all sorts of dithering and timewasting on top, such as waiting ages between entering each coin, examine the ticket like its the work of Michaelangelo before moving away etc.
Aaarrrrggghhhh!!!

Fleecing Icicles
They're the same type of person who packs their shopping verrrrrrry slowly and makes sure everything is safely stowed and the checkout person has told them the total and waited 5 minutes for them to finish. Then they start hunting for their purse or wallet.

Women (it is ALWAYS women) who think that their brats can't survive for ten minutes in my consulting room without bringing a cup of water from the water dispenser in the waiting room in with them.
I wonder if they allow their brats to run around slopping water everywhere at home. I suspect some of 'em do.

People (it is always a person of one of two genders ;-)) who stop at the top/bottom of escalators to do up coat/fish around in pockets/generally fanny around without considering that there is a queue of people about to crash into the back of them unless they get a fecking move on!

It's as if there is a whole sub species of humans that operate at a 50% slower rate than the rest of us, also taking any opportunity to dither and fanny about, idly chat, meander aimlessly around etc. They mostly come out at day time, problems occur when the rest of us have to enter their world eg urgent things to do in that precious lunch hour that really need to be done in a set timescale, efficiently, without any wasting of time.

When you go into a cafe/shop etc to buy something and the people at the checkout stands chatting to the customer for 5 minutes and ignore the fact that you are waiting to be served. Tried to get a quick coffee to takeaway today between meetings and the woman at the till was chatting about £5 notes with the customer for about 5 minutes before even taking their order, never mind getting to me.
