I get irritated when I've been standing at the bar for several minutes right in front of the barman who insists on bawling out, "Who's next?", instead of using his brain to work out the obvious fact that it's me. At more than 6' 1", I'm hardly invisible. I become even more annoyed when someone who has just rolled up, says "Me!" and is served.
