Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

That's why I rarely go to the pub, hard work dealing with "people".

Would rather have a pint at home!.

I love the pub, too much!

I really hate this too. Some places there's room for 10 people at the bar, and they might have 3 bar staff on the go. But stupid people who stand or sit at the bar drinking, only leaves room for one person at a time to order. Then when you have to muscle in beside a "stander", they look at you like you've just walked into their lounge at home and p*ssed on their kids

Always think of if a pub when I have to sympathise with someone anxiety in going into a foreign environment!

No, that gives you the colours in completely the wrong order.

Not to mention that ‘indigo’ was only added to give a nice number of ‘seven’ to the colours . . .

I heard it was so there would be the same number of colours in the spectrum as there are notes in the heptatonic scale.

Seven is often thought of as a lucky number - or have magical significance

Seventh son of a seventh son and all that

(or 8 in DiscWorld - obviously)

A Science teacher I used to work with used to go mad at the rainbow song all kids learn in Primary school

Whenever he asked kids for the order of the colours of the rainbow SOME always replied
red and yellow and pink and green orange purple and blue


NO NO NO

it's quite simple to remember just use the mnemonic
Virgins In Bed Give You Odd Reactions

simple

although I don;t think I ever told the kids that specific version - normally looked another one up on the WWW

Being quite heavily colourblind I used to hate “singing a rainbow” as a kid.

🎵Nope and hmm and shrug and hmm, dunno and dunno and blue, I can’t sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow toooooo🎵

You lot had some strange teachers. Whatever happened to Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain?

Possibly, when Back To The Future came out, one of my old, saner, science teachers got the nickname "Doc Brown".

Only found out in 2020, week before lockdown, from someone who went to the same school later.

Anything described as "quintessentiallly British", and particularly "quintessentiallly English".

In my experience, anything described as such is best avoided. Like the plague.

Polo neck jumpers or any clothing that goes up my neck.
It even annoys me when I see others wearing such diabolical articles of clothing!

Posh people speaking far too loudly in public gets up my hooter.

Cyclists who insist on having their front light on....in 30 degree heat, big bright yellow thing in a blue sky & I'm wearing mirrored sunglasses. And its always people with a 5 billion lumen light, capable of illuminating Gollum's entire cave...
Why?.....
