people who are oblivious to the people around them in a social setting. if you just received your change at starbucks, chick-fil-a, or wherever -- don't ****ing sit there for 10 minutes putting your change in your wallet and hold up the line. casually walk to a place where you are able to do so.
people who have >15 items in a 15 items or less line. and the people with 55 coupons.
incompetent drivers. can usually be narrowed down to females and old bags.
Wrong thread. You're looking for the "things that should piss you off" thread. Only your first item listed really qualifies for this thread.
In before "when people nit up what thread a post should go in"

If I go to the store late they literally don't have a single cashier there and there are 4 self-checkout kiosks. There are benefits and detriments to the self-checkout. Caveat, I was a cashier for 3 years in the late 90s and was sick fast at scanning.
Benefits: I can easily verify the price on each item, whereas the cashier is generally too fast. And I'm not going to go through my receipt when I get home so I just use cognitive dissonance and say "I'm sure they got it right". Also yeah not having some idiot snot-nosed 17 year old boys bagging your meat with detergent and **** and just generally being aloof tards. I'd rather deal with a machine than most people. Maybe that says a lot about me but #DEALWITHIT. I also spent 1.5 years as a bagger/sacker and got really good at it, so I can bag all my groceries the way they should be ****ing bagged. It's not that hard.
Detriments: While I was fast before, these machines ****ing suck ass. It takes forever to scan an item and then the stupid lady is like "please place the item in a bag" when I just put a 24 pack of water back into my cart. DIE DIE DIE lady. Another detriment is that if you buy alcohol you have to wait for the old lady overseeing all 4 kiosks to come over and check your ID.
In general I think it's about 50/50. Neither bothers me, they are just different experiences.
