British Expats - Pet Peeves?

As far as I know, it is - the photo appears to have been posted in Singapore, so I don't know if that type of appliance is sold in the US. Looks like a Fisher and Paykel name on the control panel.

What makes that worse is when they are a company you are about 99.99% sure you have never supplied with an email in the first place.

Waiters who bring the next course before you've finished the first one.
And then tell you, "oh there's no rush...take your time."

And interrupt you in the middle of the meal to say, "Have you decided on dessert?"

When you say, "Not yet", a bill is plonked down.

But no hurry.

Maybe you're saying "Not yet" too quickly and they think you're speaking Russian?
