Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I heard a caller on a radio phone in last night say "He gived it to me", instead of he gave it me. Sadly the presenter didn't correct the caller. Tut tut!🧐

Every time I close my fridge door I get a rotting veg' type whiff. It doesn't happen when I open the fridge, or when I'm looking for stuff in there, just when I close the door. My fridge is clean, with no out of date items, yet I keep getting this slightly annoying whiff.🤔

People who walk slowly in a meandering way. If you do have to dawdle, at least walk in a straight line at the edge of the pavement (sidewalk, for our American friends).

Either that, or go out at midnight. You won't be annoying me then..

Road surfaces in many multistory carparks that cause tyres to make screechy noises when driven over.
It sounds like an episode of Stsrsky & Hutch!

Killjoy.

That's about the most fun you can have with a motor-vehicle, with NO safety issues!

Ok, not me annoyed but Mrs Dr B this time. We‘re on our hols and I’ve brought a bike so I can enjoy the odd pootle around the local countryside. I struggle with saddle sores but unfortunately I’d forgotten my gentlemen’s crème.

Two ‘dry’ rides in and I’m a little chaffed. Planning my third, I spot Mr Dr B’s expensive hand cream on the sideboard table.…

🤔………🧐………😎

Unfortunately I didn’t shut the lid properly, which left me short of alibis when she found it later. I only used a dab but she wasn’t best pleased for some reason. Now I’m on the line for a whole new bottle of the cream.

Does that become an untrivial thing that rightly makes you annoyed when the pedestrian slowly, but definitely more sharply, does it as you approach on the nominally separate, by a paint line, cycle path?

In this case, I was thinking of when I'm a pedestrian, too..
On shared user paths it's kind of expected that the ped on the left jumps to the right and the ped on the right leaps left and the ped in the middle runs around in circles...

Dog on paths

Well - not the actual dog - more the owner

Situation is this - owner walking along at the side of the path - path just about wide enough for me to pass
dog is happily walking along a few yards ahead - at the side of the path - so enough room for me to pass

So - owner calls dog's name
Dog has no idea why their name has been called so stops and turns half round to look at the owner
thus now being directly across the whole path


Surely the owner knows the dog and could prdict this happening - it happens nearly every time with normal well behaved dogs!!!!

My usual comment is "there's always one", the dog knows whom I'm referring to even if the owner gets it wrong

Yesterday, on the Camel Trail, dog owner with small yappy dog on long string. Except owner was also on a bike...
*shakes head*

Could be worse - I have seen people on a bike with a Labrador on a lead
or even an GSD - I had one of those - tried stopping her chasing small furry things and totally failed - if she went off in pursuit - sideways - then I would be off and flying before I could blink

total madness

even with a Yorkie!!!






(although a Mars Bar might be OK)
sorry

Currently sat in Toby Carvery having breakfast, waiting for Mrs GP's car being serviced. There's an old bloke a few tables away with annoying voice who has finished off one couple. Now working on a young couple with small child. I think he must be employed by TC to make sure breakfasters don't dawdle.

And the person with an annoying voice is usually loud, too, making it doubley (doubly?) annoying.
