Waiting in airports - What's with all the stupid shops, selling stuff nobody would think twice about looking at normally...there is always at least one selling suitcases and I've even seen one selling full size chocolate footballs! Why not a cinema, or indoor Karting!

Driving - Why can't other drivers set off more promptly at traffic lights...I can't help thinking that congestion would be less if more people got through each time! I think it's time for more "Public Information Films"!
