I'd expect 6 courses and a marching band half way through for that money.
People who use the self scan tills with a trolley full of shopping and rather than have the bags ready and pack as they scan they pile it up on the side, pay for it then spend an eternity packing into their bags

Got sucked in to the marketing hype for today and bought a ‘Happy Halloween’ string message made up of those letter shaped foil balloons to put in the office… there’s an ‘H’ missing from the packet, so now we have HAPPY ALLOWEEN swinging gently over the window

TV Production Times. You enjoy a series, you have kept up with the twists and turns of the plot and it ends of a dramatic momnent. You want more but then realise that it will be 2 years before you get any more and by then you will have forgotten who all of hte characters were and what went on and will have to watch the last series again to keep up.

I will add kids and parents who do not respect the 'rules' of trick or treating. It may just be round my way but if you have no pumpkin or decorations up, it means you do not want trick or treaters coming round yet most years there a few kids and parents who just go to every house irresective the act as if you have done something wrong when you do not have any sweets for the kids.
Also, add the parents from town who bus their kids out to the villages to trick or treat (yes it does happen)
I do not have kids, I do not like Halloween and I do not like Trick or Treat so maybe they should just be my irritations.

The person complaining about the Hallowe’en display at Shortlands railway station.

I’m no great fan of Hallowe’en but what harm does this do? Have these people nothing better to do, it’s raised a small fortune for a children’s charity.

Putting a jumper on in the morning, travel into the office, then notice that there is a big stain on one of the arms. Can't take it off as the office is freezing so have to keep my sleeves rolled up to cover it up now.

I feel your pain, but in a slightly different way. I’m in the office today and it’s boiling. People have complained but we can’t open windows as it will interfere with the air circulation system (which is not working properly). I now daren’t take my jumper off as i’m wearing a pink shirt which can show sweat patches. Not that i’m overly sweaty, just i’m giving a presentation later and don’t want that to be even a consideration, never mind a focal point. No idea why they’ve set the temperature to tropical climes!Putting a jumper on in the morning, travel into the office, then notice that there is a big stain on one of the arms.

A random irritation when shopping in winter. Wrapped up decently for the outside weather and then walk into a shop set up so the staff only need shirt sleeves. Coat off, coat on, coat off etc...

We've just had a Halloween party with many Americans aboard, the majority of yanks were just dressed in super hero costumes and very few witches, vampires etc etc - since when did Halloween become " the Wizard of Oz" or "Superman"?

Of course not. Misery is their life's mission, not just theirs everyone else's
what did you go dressed as?
