Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

People who say, "Live every day like it's your last." For most of your life you have to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains.

That would not end well!

If I knew for sure that I had less than a day to live I might try some seriously risky 'self-medication' !

The two philosophies aren't mutually incompatible.

If you should live each day as though it's your last, surely you'd spend every day being wheeled around in a bed hugging your loved ones and saying goodbye?

Look a this!!! That @#~!! was parked there for about 10 minutes this evening. He came out with a packet of cigarettes, then threw the cellophane wrapper on the floor to add insult to injury!!

Unfortunately that's what a car culture encourages.

Bags of flour. Irritating feckers.

Glued together in such a manner as to make it odds on you will tear the bag when opening it thus getting flour everywhere when trying to pour it out.

Ah! A hint. Put the flour bag inside a larger plastic bag. I find the IKEA freezer bags excellent for this.
Freezer bag contains the flour bag and any escaping flour.
Since doing this I have not had a flour bag break.
Funny old world......

Packs of bacon, meat etc with a label in the corner saying "peel here". I believe Geoff Capes was the only person to achive opening a packet in this way. The rest of us have to use a knife

My dad’s’71 Rover was upholstered in “box-pleated Ambla”

You can still buy from Ambla: https://www.ambla.com/

Urban myth, they do not work. Who do you complain to that can make any difference?

There I was about an hour ago at the local Tesco pay/conveyor belt thingy, patiently waiting my turn. A couple in front were faffing about with their bank cards. The machine wouldn't accept them. You could tell they were slightly embarrassed, but these things happen. Anyway, I kept my distance as I always do, till they eventually paid them moved away. This is the annoying beyond belief bit! As I started to pack my items this old git who was behind me in the queue came and stood right next to me on my right. We're not talking 3 feet away, no it was more like 1 foot away! I looked at him as if to say "do you mind, you're invading my space here. I find you annoying and bad mannered to boot"! He took the hint and backed away. To make sure the idiot didn't move in again I stood with my back to him while I paid with my bank card. How bloody bad mannered was that eh! He actually moved in, right next to me as if to say "get a move on, I'm very impatient"! I'm glad I made him move back, but I left in almost disbelief than someone would do such a thing!!

The word admitted keeps getting used in the wrong context! For example, today I heard a BBC radio reporter say "He admitted he was glad to be back in management", when referring to a football manager who joined Blackpool FC the other week. What is there to admit to?! Surely "He said he was glad to be back" would've made more sense! You admit to things you wish you hadn't done, or said etc. "He admitted that he sent her a threatening text message" makes sense. Admitting to being glad about something (unless it's malicious) doesn't! 🤔

I get annoyed at the wrong use of words. Using floor when it is clearly a roadway or the ground is one example.
