Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Poacher]

A 'man problem'..
Toilet seats that won't stay up!
Having to hold the seat with one hand whilst aiming with the other is not multitasking, it's dang annoying!

My SiL has one like that. She has a sign saying "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie, wipe the seatie".
I composed and printed "A polite riposte":
If you want me to raise the seat,
A seat retainer would be neat
I use one hand to keep it lifted
Then I find my aim has shifted
Instead of pointing at the water
It goes just where it didn't oughter
OK, it's not upon the seat
It's worse than that, it's on my feet!

She's still not absolutely certain who left this, but I'm prime suspect.

Reminds me of a quote from the book I just read: "The hundred-year-old man set off in his pee-slippers (so called because men of an advanced age rarely pee further than their shoes)...."

People overfilling their fuel tanks causing petrol or diesel to spill on road. Making road surface like black ice.

Actors carrying suitcases that are obviously empty. You'd think that they would put a coat or something in them just to give them some ballast.

Not being able to go to sleep before midnight on New Year's Eve because of fireworks going off.

Or disposable coffee cups that are also clearly empty! Why not just put some water in them if no coffee is handy?

People with golfing brollies on rainy days who are oblivious to the people around them 😠

Actors pointing a gun at someone for 5 minutes, then cocking it to show they're getting serious.

Got that on my kindle and just reread it.

Surely that is not a problem nowadays as the pumps are set to cut off before this happens and they are adjustable. Careless filling station.😠
