Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Feeling pedantic right now...its 93 million miles. BTW, we should be able to see the Andromeda galaxy on a dark night & its 2 million light years away .

fair enough
I should remember from the TR7 convertible ads!

although - thinking about it - didn;t that say 96 million miles fo headroom??????

I did a 60mile ride yesterday see your ride today ..

My mate and his friend do exactly the same ride today as if to say - we can do that too!!

Films that end with no ending, or at least ones that end with lots of unanswered questions

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery

And films in which absolutely nothing happens, you think "there's 120 minutes of my life I'll never get back", but people bore on about how profound it was.

People using "air quotes" when they're talking.
Most aggravating!

 

[Profpointy]

that's true. But I have to adjust so many other things anyway so I might as well do that. For example the seat is all the way back (as my mechanic is over 6ft) and I have to slide it 100 ft forward

I tend to find they've changed the radio from radio3 for some reason. You'd think we'd have more highbrow class of mechanics in posh Bristol

Drivers that piddle down the road at 10mph slower than speed limit, then scrape through green lights leaving you at a red light..thinking if you had driven at a decent speed we could both got through the lights!😡

Ah the 40mph everywhere brigade. 40 on a clear national speed limit road, the. carry on at 40 through each tiny village

Stupid surveys with little to no incentive to complete them.

For example: I have recently bought a DeWalt 18V XR Combi Drill from Toolstation

Today, I get an email from them, asking me to rate their site and, in return, I could win a DeWalt 18V XR Combi Drill

I'm sure it's been posted before but this is a classic

Kitchen islands. Why?

Whilst we don't have one I do see the value if your kitchen is too small for a dining table (or your dining table is in a dining room) but there's still enough space in the middle of your kitchen for more units.

I've seen it a couple of times with the naked eye but had to find it with binoculars first; an impressive sight even with 8x40 'nocs. Once you know where it is you can (convince yourself) see it unaided with averted vision.

Once seen it with a 4" telescope and it's bigger than the moon, albeit a lot lot dimmer obviously

My wife & I both felt that Withnail & I was another film that fitted that category well.

Cloth covered buttons on duvets and pillow cases. Madness!

Deffo I put in my hiking boots to get a knife for my now cold toast! Much prefer a galley kitchen even better on a boat with a girl!
oh sorry I've woken up now!!
