Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Is this the thread? I don't know. It's one like it anyway, so here's my current bemusement (I.e. it doesn't anger me!)

The way 'to be fair' is used by some people these days is baffling I find. What follows it can either be anything but fair, or have nothing to do with being fair or unfair. On the latter, maybe that's the point. It's an attempt to preempt criticism of any perceived negativity by saying something and labelling it 'fair'.

Do I blame football commentators/pundits? To be fair, I've just had porridge for breakfast.

To be fair, porridge does have that effect

People who get back from somewhere in the early hours and can't be quiet. Look I get you are drunk, but for the love of god be quiet getting out the taxi and getting in your house.

People who drop litter about 10 feet from a bin. I don't like people littering anyway, but to do it within sight of a bin, just why?

What on Earth do they sell in that shop next door? 🤔

Furniture and beds.

To be honest Acct, butts was amusing but Sowerbutts could open up a whole new can of worms 😄

Especially if you know how to pronounce Sowerby Bridge!

I am annoyed that every picture of a female you now see in an internet newspaper article is a picture of said female taking a picture of herself with a phone!

An example from today's news feed...

Last Monday was general waste black bin day. When I got home later in the day some skank had stolen my black bin. About an hour ago I heard a bin being moved. I went outside and found that my cardboard/paper brown bin has also been taken!!

A current annoyance is a trailer for the 6Msic Artist Collection (I think) where they anthologise an artist

Skank is putting it mildly imo.

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

Apparently a hectare is a square 100 meters by 100m.
There's 2.47 footy pitches to a hectare.

I drove to the local cemetery yesterday to visit relatives graves and walk my dog. It'd been fine all day, but as I got out of my car it started spitting rain. Then about a minute later it absolutely peed it down! It did so for the 30 or so minutes I was in there, then suddenly stopped as I got back to my car. Yesterday around here, it only rained for those 30 minutes!

Ok, this one is pretty niche….companies with names like “The Real Cheese Company” or ”The Basingstoke Coffee Company”. It’s twee and mannered and annoying and must cease. Entrepreneurs, give your company a proper name like Wang or Sowerbutts.

I'd rather a name like that, at least you know what they do or sell. I do objet to names like "South West Window Cleaning Solutions". There's only 1 solution surely; clean the windows
