Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Shoelaces - why make them from synthetic materials that become untied almost instantly? I know you can double knot etc, but it shouldn't be necessary.

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.

“We’re the Sweeney son, and we haven’t had any dinner...”

Sliced bread. Thick sliced bread used to be thick, now it's no more than what used to be medium sliced and medium is now thin and thin has been cut with a laser. If you want thick sliced you get an XXX thick sliced toastie loaf, or whatever, so you can still get it, but why make thick sliced not thick. It not thick anymore, stop pretending it is!!!!!

 

[fossyant]

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

A good reason for deleting FB - used to refer to our local page as 'the village idiots page' - oh the rants about how essential it was for mummy to drive her little angel right upto the school gates, which happened to be down a very narrow 30's street, with no driveways for residents. Binned the whole app.

Just buy uncut loaf. Simple.

You could, erm, always make your own...

I think that's more or less everywhere now, my lads primary has very little parking area to use so parents get very irate if they have to walk over 50m to the gate. Then drive to Plus gym or whatever its called.

But then I couldn't get annoyed beyond expectations about this particular trivial thing

Yebbut why buy sliced bread in the first place ? The underlying bread is poor quality and because it is sliced it goes stale quicker. And if you have a knife you can slice whatever thickness you want depending on whether you're doing a sandwich or want chunky slabs for dunking in soup

School parking in general. People park on the mouths of junctions so you have to exit the junction on the wrong side of the road. You have to pull nearly all the way out of the junction before you can even see left or right.

Sweets at the cinema - a packet of Revels was £3.99. They are £1 in my local shop (we take our own sweets now it's become socially acceptable).

Local example...

Blimey, I hope you're a good shot...

A chap at work always says ‘years young’ and then does this snorty chuckle. This happens daily and has been gradually making me more irritated than it really ought to.

Today he said ‘this is Saluki, she is 55 years young’ to some random stranger brought in to the office by one of the clients. I smiled and said ‘this is Roger, he is 350lbs thin’ and got on with my work. Hopefully this may have sorted out the unreasonable irritation.

Pfft. It's the "deck"

That's what I always call the ground
