A good point: I rely on my zip able pockets on my work trousers for safe transit of these items. Otherwise I know they'll vanish.
I've never understood why this is but I suspect it is quantum.
Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

- it's the pockets that are the problem. Especially if stuffed with who-knows-what. They are the most unflattering male garment ever. You need the build of a slim, tall, long-legged male model to wear them, and that really doesn't apply to most wearers.

Women with vast buggies who suddenly stop to text or chat without giving an instant's thought to where they're stopping, when even a moment's consideration would alert them to the fact that parking up three or four yards over there would avoid creating a bottleneck.

That is a problem, to be sure, but I get away with it by sheer charisma.

Three word soundbite
People who stop dead in the doorway of Cambridge Rail Station to look at the departure boards, rather than take four or five more steps and not block everyone else who knows where they are going and when they have to be there.
Oh, while I'm at it - people who can easily walk through the narrow gates but insist on going through the wider ones that apparently all bikes (even Bromptons) HAVE to go through according to the station staff.

I'm annoyed by all the mundane visitors to my bird table today, like this blighter after my nuts!

People running engines when parked up to keep cool. Open your windows or doors you fools, or step outside into the fresh air in the park you are next to.

when I put my contact lens in, the cleansing solution bottle when squeezed sometimes forms a bubble on the end. This bubble sometimes falls onto my lens and makes it fall off my finger tip. I find this though trivial to some, very annoying.

This is quite common practise now due to obsessive mobile phone gawping. Not only doorways,but pavements,supermarket aisles etc. People tell me that I should day excuse me to them,but why should I when these idiots are in the wrong not me! Sometimes I do say excuse me,but sarcastically,like last week when this hefty wide woman was yacking away on her phone completely blocking an exit in the local health centre.

Similar seems to happen at my local supermarket. People walk in through the entrance and just stop; either to chat or to look at stuff.

But don't you think the supermarkets are stupid for placing items for sale in doorways, knowing that shoppers will stop to look at them?
