Mobile phones, and to a slightly lesser extent, E-mail.
If you're not instantly contactable at any time, wherever you may be on the planet, you become public enemy number one which the communicant informs you of in hilariously histrionic terms.
It seems there is no excuse for not answering the phone, replying to a text, or sending a return E-mail consisting of a 20,000 word, indexed, referenced reply within 20 nanoseconds.
This is all usually because someone is trying to either pass the buck, or is too scared to make a decision of their own. They are often part of the 33% of managers within any company who could be sacked tomorrow, and the only way people would notice is that fewer things would go wrong/'need' doing!

Well said, I agree completly.  :y

Plus one :y   Agree with all other answers also, especially the wife :-X

The customer using the ATM in front of you who is unable to get a tenner out without putting in the card and pin in three times.
Drivers who have not a clue who has right away at painted mini island and if your really unlucky three retards who meet at the same time.
The control freak shop that is Ikea. Why cant i go the bit i want instead of having to follow the yellow brick road.(As for the Coventry store..)
The customer in front of you at your local One stop who, regardless of the queue behind them insists that the cashier check their last six months worth of lottery tickets so screwed up they wont even scan.

There is more but my fingers hurt.

A few years a go the banks tried an experiment with drive through ATM machines. This is why they have never been implemented:

Man:

Joins ATM queue, gets card out of wallet and winds down window, while second in the queue, pulls up at the ATM, puts on handbrake, inserts card, enters pin, retrieves card, collects money, puts card and cash in wallet, releases handbrake and drives off.

Woman:

Drives up to the ATM machine, realizes she has driven half past it, so reverses back, then applies handbrake. Opens handbag to get card, rummages through bag for 5 minutes trying to find card, checks all of the bags side pockets again for the card, tips the content of the bag on the passenger seat and rummages through contents and finally finds card, curses as she hits her hand on the window trying to insert the card. Opens the window, but can't reach ATM machine, tries several times stretching though the window, but still can't reach ATM, removes seat belt, opens door, so she can just reach the ATM machine, enters the card, rummages through the bags content on the front passenger seat until she finds the piece of paper with the pin number on, enters pin. Retrieves card as the account is empty. Rummages through the contents of her bag on the front passenger seat again until she finds her second card, inserts it into the ATM machine, retrieves card to look up the pin number written with nail varnish on the back of the card, re-inserts card, enters pin number, rummages through contents of bag to find list of things to buy in town, to work out how much money to withdraw, enters the amount of money, takes the cash and places it into her handbag along with all of the bag's contents on the front passenger seat. Starts to drive away, stops, reverses back and hits the car approaching the ATM machine, shouts and swears at the male drive and tells him how impatient and inconsiderate he is, as it is perfectly obvious she is reversing back to retrieve her ATM card. Places card in bag, moves forward two feet, stops and puts on her seat belt, drives off, grabs drivers door as it swings open while joining the main road and shuts it, three miles down the dual carriageway...... releases handbrake.

People who put there  shopping on the conveyor belt then go back to the aisles for more stuff.
Women who hold the Que up on buses and trains while they look for money in there purse for there fare rather than have it ready when the bus comes.

And the worse one I've seen yet. the knobhead who counted out 2.29 in pennies to pay for his pint 2 weeks ago in the pub.if i was the braid i would of refused to accept it. unbelievable

Sadly that happened to me on more than one occasion. That is precisely why I now put IMHO on some of my posts, or state that it is just my opinion. In it's defence I receive a lot less bad comments in reply. So it can be advantagious.

This is of course just my useless opinion  ::) ::) ::)

Having to wait longer than normal to be served in my Local Pub, only to be told, sorry, I was serving Customers!

Queuing in Post Offices only to discover the person in front of you is kicking 2 sacks of small parcels of crap that thieve just sold on eBay.

Banks, having to listen to some moron giving their life stories to the Teller for 30 mins on how its all wrong, should have cleared by then, what Direct Debit, shouldn't have come out of that day, blah, blah.

HSE Officer stamping on one your feet as hard as He can, to find out weither your really wearing Steel Toe Caps.

Cherry Pickers, being waved out and asked to come down 40ft, only to be asked what you doing and dont you need a licence for that, then having to tell Him, its all in the Method Statement together the Risk Assessment, and copies of Permits and Licences are attacthed within the HSE Section, That I have to painfully write, email to every man and his dog including the Tea Lady only to find no F**ker reads them anyway.

its goes on.
