Nowhere near as annoying as when the oblivious fuckers decide to stop dead.

See old wifeys at the entrance to any shop. All seem to think it's the ideal place to stand and chat shite.

They hide the hand they use to catch sneezes, seminal fluid, bogies; the same hand they use to wipe down the plates before bringing them out. 

In case anyone's feeling disgusted by that, don't panic - they've likely already sneezed or spunked directly on to your food anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Not restricted to old wifeys. The general population's complete lack of physical awareness is alarming.

They need to teach these things in school. Looking Around Before Moving Studies, Walking in Single File on Pavements Theory, Advanced Not Rushing Out of Shop Doorways 101, The Pair of You Are Massively Obese and, Between You and Your Trollies, You've Cordoned Off The Entire Aisle in the Supermarket While You Discuss That Bitch Karen on the PTA...erm...Tutorial.

Adults should have to go back to school and pass the exams before they're allowed out in public.

I have to admit that I use 'wifey' quite often*, but find 'hubby' annoying.  This situation shall undoubtedly disgruntle others.  That said, I use wifey as a general term for any woman, not specifically one's wife. 
*I've been NE-ified

And how do your neighbors and your actual wifey feel about this use?

Suppose it’s better than my grans second husband who once described Sharon Stone as “that bint aff the tele”

You'd think walking face-first into a lamppost would be all the lesson people would need, but apparently not.

Shrinkflation, and the attempt to make out the products have always been that size.

Hope Street is a fucking nightmare for this. I started walking to work a longer way because it actually worked out faster than dodging people and it was 100 times less stressful.

See also people doing the same in pubs, don’t stop for a chat on the stairs, or on the way to the toilet, or right outside the door, you’re getting in absolutely everyone’s way.

Travel vloggers - entitled, invasive, whinging c***s.

Seen one on YouTube recently where a guy is going from Germany to Dubai first class and is acting like the crew shagged his ma because one guys English wasn’t great. You’re shoving a camera in their face for 8 hours while they do their job, of course it’s not going to be perfect. The title is always something like “American Airlines are a disgrace” and then the reason is that they’ve changed the type of champagne they use. They also claim that it’s just an honest review and “I hate to complain” as if every traveller is going to cut about filming the entire journey. You’re annoying absolutely everyone around you, imagine sitting on the train and some guy is chatting to a camera the entire time and walking up and down the aisle, you’d tell them to f**k off. I’d say they’re easily worse than football vloggers.

Been watching a few of these recently. (Research for a trip home early next year). They do have their uses.

Anyhow what I've noticed is that most of these guys actually use points to pay for the flights, which makes the entitled attitude all the more galling.

For us Dundonians, we never use "wifey" to describe our wives - "wifey" is a term for all woman just as you say.

Have to admit that this provides me with a source of entertainment when bored walking, as I'll play the 'see how close they can get to you before noticing' game.

Istanbul is the worst for this, especially in Kadikoy. I've had policeman absent-mindedly walk into me there.

Italians are notorious for doorway chatting, then have the gall to act like they're the wronged party when you ask them to move.
