When a mate suggests a golf trip away for 2 days and asks you to organise it and then when it comes
to decision day and book it he says "sorry mate got no holidays left "
Numpties.

Ex partners/wives who suggest doing a deal on finances and then proceed over the coming months/years
to scupper any kind of deal , even one that they proposed to you to accept and did.

Hate it when you're speaking to a company over the phone, they do the security, you explain the situation and they say "right I need to pass you to X department"
Then, first thing that happens when they answer is security AGAIN. Then explain everything... AGAIN.

Poker players who try to get another player's hand killed.
I have only come across it very rarely, but it happened yesterday, close to the money in the Goliath. I called a bet on the River and the other player said "You win" and slid his cards forward into the middle of the table face down. I said "Do I have to show?", although I knew the answer, but I wanted to make sure there were no issues. The dealer said "No" and I pushed mine forward face down. The dealer swiped mine (I was in seat 10) and the other guy (in seat 3) then reached into the playing area, flipped his cards over and claimed that my cards were dead and he should get the pot. I pulled my cards back from the muck and showed them. He had 89 and I had AJ - there was a J on the board, which was the only connection either of us had made. He didn't let it go and it became a big issue, with the floor being called to make a ruling.
This guy had come back with a top ten stack, having finished in second place on his Day 1, but had lost a flip for more than 200k out of his stack of nearly 600k early on Day 2, and was already down to c 300k. I'm not usually vindictive, but I did check where he finished and was pleased to see that he didn't even make the top 500, and cashed for less than £300.
How do people like that live with themselves if they win (or even if they don't), knowing that they have got there by cheating? Apart from violence, trying to get another player's hand killed must surely be the absolute lowest thing you can do at a poker table?

Hopefully someone less kind than yourself will be on the receiving end next time, and he'll get clumped.

Not having to show a hand to claim a pot should be scrapped. If there's a bet and call then just show, does it really matter if someone is bluffing with 9 high? It's part of the game ffs.

Train etiquette of who gets to disembark first, a passenger seated near the door who is looking to get out or the person further back who stood up early. The answer is to always politely let the other person go first but after that I was partially out my isle seat a second guy tried force his way by. If you are in a hurry either get up earlier or don't sit in the middle of the carriage.

Surely you should use plane etiquette? Closest to the door alights first.

this for me. Always the fun players stand up immediately when the flight has landed in the isle's even though disembark won't happen for 10-15 mins. People seem to have zero chill.

I always have to wait until the end for assistance, so just chill out, and laugh at everyone rushing to move nowhere.
