People who are just generally slow about doing things. Includes people who walk slowly (I'm short and have short legs but I walk faster than most people).

For example, I work at a fast food restaurant, at the front counter. People are welcome to hang around and read the menu all they want, but once you step up to me and start ordering, it's extremely annoying when they order maybe one item, then spend half a minute thinking out loud about whether they want a medium drink or a large drunk.

Also, people generally don't listen to what I say. I'll ask them to clarify something on their order, like if they want cheese on their burger or something, and get ignored. And, more often than not, when they're done ordering and I tell them their total, they respond with "How much is it?"

Example annoying conversation...

Me: Hi can I take your order please?
Cust: I'll have a Big and Tasty...
Me: Did you want cheese on that?
Cust: And a... I don't know, should I get a medium or large drink...
Me: ... would you like cheese on your Big and Tasty?
Cust: I guess I'll have a large.
Me: What kind of drink would you like?
Cust: Yes.
Me: ...
Cust: How much is it?
Me: What kind of drink would you like?
Cust: Coke.
Me: Would you like cheese on your Big and Tasty?
Cust: Yes.
Me: Okay, your total is $4.67.
Cust: How much?
Me: $4.67.
Cust: *takes forever in opening wallet/purse/whatever to pay*

After which I go into the bathroom and shoot myself.

I assume this is an Amercian fast food joint?
