I get more annoyed by the people at immigration (not the border police but the nannies standing around guiding you). Both at LHR and LGW, I found them rather unpleasant in recent time. Every time "Sir, this is the queue for EU passport". Yes, FFS. I can read the bloody signs. "Sir, you have to take off your glasses in the e-gates". Yes I know, but how about letting me see where I put the passport, etc. first.
On my arrival yesterday in LGW, I put the passport in, stood correctly and had taken off my glasses and the machine just wouldn't budge. I put my glasses back. "NO SIR. NO GLASSES". I know, thanks. I had taken my efffffing glasses off. And in case you're wondering: It's always the UK machines that don't work in my case. I haven't had a problem anywhere else
