white people who go to thai/indonesian restaurants and angrily demand chopsticks from their servers
I always take chopsticks from the dispenser when I get Thai takeaway for lunch, but this is because the wee plastic sporks they give you otherwise are p much useless for holding a slippery flat noodle on the 2-second journey from container to mouth, let alone getting some vegetable AND noodle in the same mouthful. I also decline a spork and take chopsticks at the salad place around the corner, too, have at me

People who come into work and make a giant fuss abt how they've caught something terrible and they feel really ill and their weekend was awful because of it and it was really a struggle for them to come in and bring all their germs into the office
(ps yes it sucks when you are ill but there is some major meeting or deadline you can't get out of - but that is not currently the case for this repeat offender)

more annoying are people who, when putting books back, shove them so hard that they get swallowed up by the adjoining books. it's like disappearing into book buttcheeks.
Oh it happens - pure laziness. Pick up a stack of books will-i nill-i, and just plonk them back on the shelves. In this case g/f tho, so have to vent spleen on ilx rather than to face.
Have seen this happen in bookshop as well.
Opposite to loose bumcheeks is incredibly bad habit of shelving books too tightly on, meaning you have to put the thumb on spine to get it out.

Worse than any of those is people who put books back at a library IN THE WRONG PLACE. Ensuring they will NEVER BE FOUND except by pure chance or like if they do a systematic inventory every x years. I constantly catch mis-filed books while I'm browsing; I don't know if it's the shelving staff or dumbass patrons but it's horrible, disgusting savagery.

Not to mention customers who misfile records at the store. (Even though I know I'm guilty of it myself—having to pare down my stack of "maybes" and "will purchase" records when the clerk announces that they are closing in two minutes. Possible karmic balance as I tend to correctly file records while browsing.)

This lady is in today as well and giving us a running commentary on how many boxes of tissues she's gone through, going "ha ha, it will be funny if the new manager visits the office, he'll catch my flu" (thankig u for the hilarious implied joke that everyone already in here has got yr "flu"), etc
she has no special reason to be in but I'm covering for someone on 3 weeks' leave and had to swear blind that I would not be taking any time off

In response to Doctor Casino's library comment; we used to shelf-tidy for an hour every Friday morning, all library staff from heads to cleaners just checking the shelves on a roar system and putting books back in the right place. We officially had the least lost books of any academic library in the country. Then new management came along and determined that it was more important to have the service desk open that extra hour.

That is exactly when, in my younger days, I'd have left him with a nice green loogie on his windshield right at about eye level. I suppose that made me a disgusting savage too, but its better than inflicting real damage by keying it or something.

Yeah, the loogie is not a bad idea. I agree, i can' t abide the keying thing, being a former victim myself. Probably the pinnacle of cowardly acts.

a) people who live in boroughs where recycling is collected, you can stick it all in a giant orange bag UNSORTED with no fuss and yet STILL DON'T RECYCLE
b) MY THIEVING FUCKING NEIGHBOURS
argh argh I am so angry with the disgusting savages in the back flat right now.
OK, part of this is Lambeth Council not being brilliant - a couple of months ago, these mysterious extra bins appeared outside everyone's doors with no explanation, but if you looked at them closely, they had instructions both on the outside of the bin AND printed on plastic bags inside the bin. They are for food waste and compost.
Fair enough, I only figured this out a few weeks ago myself when I went to move ours. So today, rubbish night, I go to look for our bin to put out the food waste I've been accumulating all week. It's gone. No, actually, it's sitting outside the front door of the back neighbours. OK, maybe they've finally figured out how to recycle, fair enough, I can stick my waste in there and take it out with the rubbish bins. NOPE. They've just nicked it to stick their bloody tools in.
I was so furious I emptied their tools out all over their deck - really I should have just chucked my food waste over the top of their tools and put the whole thing out to be taken with the rubbish.
But just... AOWERJLKA ANEKJAEK AJNJKAEWRN ANBKJJADKF BAHJKLSDBF ASJDJFJWERKJ
OK, you're a lazy, selfish cockwad who can't be bothered to recycle. Fair enough. Your problem. But if you just see something appear in the common space of a yard shared by FOUR FLATS, do you assume that you can just nick it and use it for your personal use?
FUCKING COCKWADS I HATE THEM SO MUCH. OK, mostly I hate them because they're loud and the man has developed a wonderful habit of RIDING HIS MOTORCYCLE through the yard - and no, he doesn't just push it with the engine running quietly, he REVS THE FUCKING ENGINE REALLY LOUDLY THE WHOLE WAY - at QUARTER TO SIX IN THE MORNING EVERY FUCKING MORNING. And I know it's quarter to six because he fucking wakes me up every time.

I feel your pain. I've been having an endless battle with my downstairs neighbours who don't seem to understand that plastic fast food containers and hair extensions do not count as garden waste and that random giant objects like suitcases will not be collected with the recycling. It invariably ends with me having to sort everything out myself.

bad parents. My otherwise adorable niece/nephew (6/3) call to announce they have farts, proceed to fart and giggle madly. This has happened more than once. We can skype but they'd rather fart into the phone.Mom has IPhone but kids don't know how to Google search info their little natural-scientist souls desire. Farts are funny but their mom is disgusting savage IMO. Let's not even go into what she feeds them (kaff kaff Mcdonalds kaff).God forbid they should get onto an intertubes board later, given what they consider information needing impartment now. Ha.
