26 Marvellously British Problems That Make Life Awkward For Us All

20. Not Having The Right Change For The Bus

Oh. My. God. There's nothing quite like the look a bus driver gives you when you hand them a ten pound note, expecting them to take you about a mile down the road. We're sure we've all felt the horror of looking in our wallets/purses only to find we've only got notes and 2p in shrapnel with absolutely no time to buy something we don't need just for the sake of avoiding the evil glare you'll get from the bus driver.

19. People Who Don't Understand The Concept Of Queuing

The British are famous for their ability to stand in a line in orderly fashion. Almost everywhere you go here, you'll find people queuing up for something, even if they don't actually know what it is. There's always one person though who simply doesn't understand queuing etiquette. Whether they're standing at the side of you rather than behind, simply try to charge in ahead of you or ask 'Are you waiting in the queue?' when you're blatantly standing in the line, these awkward people make lives a nightmare for the common British person.

18. The Acknowledgement Wave

When out driving, your built-in British courtesy drive might kick in and you will allow a fellow motorist out of a junction, into a gap or do some other kindly act. Afterwards, you expect a friendly wave in acknowledgement of your kindness, or at least a courtesy hazard light flash. You'll then immediately get the rage after the person you did a kindly act for blatantly ignores you and carries on speeding into the distance.

17. The Jeremy Kyle Show

The absolute pinnacle of trash TV, Jezza gives us a daily window into the crazy lives of the more crazy individuals of Britain. Even though we all moan on about how horrible it is and the people on it, Jeremy Kyle's hour of berating chavs has someone became part of our culture and remains inherently watchable. If sitting down in your onesie to watch people less fortunate than ourselves isn't awkward, I don't know what is.
