Whenever I watch the BBC News at night it always annoys me that the newsroom behind the presenter is practically empty but all of the monitor screens, TVs, etc. are all switched on. What a waste of electricity!

Realising that I need a number two just after I've put my boiler suit on.

One of our diving club got all kitted up in a full dry suit which requires somebody else to undo the zip and then announced a toilet problem. Eventually somebody took pity of the poor soul and let her out.

Used to do that but fewer and fewer 'adjacent products' have lids, and those that do don't fit.

That's because I got there first

I'm annoyed that my new kitchen scales have a fluid ounces mode, in addition to an ounces mode.

See also: grams and millilitres.

Getting deja vu. I might have made the same complaint about my old kitchen scales!

Hectares...

I have no concept of what size a hectare is. Nor an acre of I might add.

I've always liked this song/record. It reminds me of a certain holiday in 1967, but what more disappoints than annoys me is that there wasn't an actual Teenage Opera.🤔

It's a distinctive sound alright; an odd song from my "First Summer of Love" CD...

...which also has "Hole in my shoe".

Oh, I hate this! Also, “money is the root of all evil” - again, no it isn’t, learn the rest of it which offers quite a different viewpoint.

Signs at checkouts warning buyers of alcohol they may need to show ’proof of ID’.
No, they won’t. You mean proof of age!

No, they won’t. You mean proof of age!

On which point
they never ask for my age or ID

People who give you their phone number in weird combinations, e.g. 071 9898 67 345

Everyone knows that it's: the code > first three digits > second three digits (London 4+4 after the code and major cities 3+4).

We're primed to remember it when it's this way. Any other combinations and you're an infuriating weirdo
