Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Ming the Merciless]

Bypasses that split a nice country lane in half and don’t give an easy and safe way to get from one side to other without a large diversion.

Pedestrian crossings that prioritise motor vehicles.

Pedestrian crossings that prioritise motor vehicles.

Or traffic lights that don't respond to cyclists!

Childish behaviours from adults, in an adult context. For example, hyper excitement about Christmas, or counting the remaining time to an event in ‘sleeps’.

People you meet who don‘t say hello back in response to you saying hello. For instance cyclists you pass going opposite way in a quiet lane.

We're not rude - we just don't like you.

Agreed, and corporate companies are happy to pander to the adult child too. I looked at the instructions on the back of a well known taco spice mix last night and was irritated to see the phrase "add the spice mix to the beef, and cook until it smells yummy".

"Until it smells yummy"? Are you and your target market all seven year olds or something?

Red plastic 'straws' that come with aerosol cans of WD40, and other lubricants. Where do they go? they seem to dematerialise after first use. I have a crate full of various cans, all of which came with their own red straws. It took me ages to find just one when I needed it this morning.

Yes that happens all the time to me as well. But I also lose the lids. They get knocked off/broken/used for something else and then end up in the same dimension to which the straws went

Every time they manage to land an explorer on a new planet or Moon a small part of me expects a press release saying they have found all the socks
Or is that just me????

Everything's 'super' now, isn't it? As in, "I'm super excited about this" or a slightly difficult task has become 'super hard' for some reason. To differentiate and indicate just how serious some people are about something and to show they're not messing around, 'super-super' has been heard more than once!

 

[PK99]

I agree, 100%

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Can we just allow people to shoot people who say that

seems the only way out of this nightmare on certain shows

 

[Moon bunny]

I agree, 100%

Well, I agree 110 per cent.

 

[youngoldbloke]

Well, I agree 110 per cent.

Absolutely

Whatever.
