Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[slowmotion]

Wrong, wrong, wrong!
By your method, you'd have to keep putting the scouring pad down as you put the clean things on the rack.
By using the approved method, you can hold onto the scourer whilst not needing to let go of the now clean things as you utilise the draining rack.
It's really that easy!

I once read that some poor souls have difficulty handling scouring pads. I believe there are clinics to help them.

My kids have that problem, and toilet rolls, and vacuum cleaners, and.............

Ordinary folk use their right hand to do the detailed stuff......

If you're implying that left-handers are extraordinary, I'd have to agree with you.

Bike route signs the size of a postage stamp and easily missed. They’d be outrage if the rest of the road signs were the same.

Yup - and often about 10 foot up in the air
exactly where a cyclist is looking when riding on a shared cycle path!!!

Things designed for right handed people like tin openers, remote controls, scissors etc.

Remote controls ???

My dad had a pair of left-handed scissors (Fiskars I think). Used to annoy him enormously that, despite the fact I’m left-handed too, I always used them with my right hand. Still use them today. Blooming uncomfortable they are too 😉

A draining board to the right of the sink! Highly annoying.

Unless you are a leftie, I suppose.

We have had the drainer on the right of the sink in our apartment for more than a decade. This is because our kitchen is tiny and under the roof of the building so it it were the other way around we'd have to bend double to wash up.

As it is my head touches the ceiling and anyone bigger than me* has to hold their head sideways.

*Which, let's be honest, is practically anyone...
