Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Tell that to my neighbour's son who has taken to smoking out of his bedroom window and throwing the fag ends into my garden (though the ones that fall short land on his garage roof).

I’ve seen many fires caused by poorly discarded cigarettes. Especially in the summertime when everything is tinder dry.

People who refer to the ground as "the floor". Where do they live, in caves.

^^^ It's a regional thing, the ground is called 'the floor' up North.

 

[Salar]

I'm from the North, never called the ground the floor though.

 

[alicat]

I stand corrected. It was common usage when I was growing up in Leeds. The usage may not extend somewhere else.

What about the ground floor in a building.
That must blow their minds. How can something be the ground and the floor at the same time?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Pfft. It's the "deck"

And if they go to the USA, the first floor is ground floor, that must really confuse them, or not.

Can be as bad the other way round.

@alicat its always been the floor to me growing up in wigan (oop north)

Outside = ground
Indoors = floor
At sea = deck
Much too confusing if otherwise...

Jamie Oliver.

I now find him really annoying but my wife still likes his tv stuff so we have an agreement that he can stay on unless he uses that irritating phrase "bad boys", then I get to put on something more entertaining like The Sweeney.

There I was at the local baths/swimming pool tonight attempting to do my 100 lengths in the allocated 1 hour 30 mins. This 'swimming teacher' decided to teach her pupil to swim by doing widths. I had one of the lanes next to the side of the pool. This teacher kept stopping in my lane to talk to her pupil. How damned annoying is that I ask?!

The brake cable rattling agains the frame of my commuter bike.

I thought it was my cheap & not very effective bell, but I've just replaced that with a marginally better one and the rattle is still there...

Local village fb groups with the inevitable gobshite complaining about something or other then when challenged about it changes tack half way through. Believe in what you say or keep shtum....Driving standards, Rochdale seems to have had an influx or bred wannabe racing drivers and dirtbike twats. A few deaths of young lads haven't stopped them, they've become legends. Despite being found pissed and full of coke more often than not.....it's a waste. Rant over
