Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I've only blocked about 1 or 2 in all the time I've been posting stuff on the internet. He's not that bad, just a bloke probably having a bit of a crisis, as they say.

No wonder he was a bit angry with life ( and me). He told me the other month that his mum had stage 4 stomach cancer. Last week he changed his WhatsApp profile photo and put his mum's photo on. I asked him how his mother was. He told me that sadly she died early that Sunday morning, aged 69. 69 is a dangerous age. My dad, his dad, my mum's dad, footballer Trevor Francis died the other week aged 69 and I read the other day that David Bowie died aged 69.

Not only that but how about this for a coincidence. I was 41 when my dad died aged 69. He's also 41, with his mum dying aged 69. His parents were married for 46 years till death departed them. Mine had been married for 46 years when my dad died.

Yebutt when you go into the room where do you chuck your mucky suitcase? On the end of the bed probably and the bit of cloth is to protect the bedding.

Or more likely for people who don't take their shoes off when they lay on the bed, as they ensure there is nowhere to sit

People talking on trains.

On phones loudly get my goat!

The idiots who not only yak loudly on phones, but also pace up and down, backwards and forwards without seeing if they might bump into someone (like me!). One tool the other day was all over the place, with his free hand waving vigorously as he yacked away. He nearly walked into me and nearly whacked me with his waving hand. I had my walking stick at the ready, if the idiot got too close!

Two lads were watching a loud video on a mobile on the train today. For once I decided to try and ask them to turn it down. They looked very startled but they did comply so we all got some peace and quiet.

We have several in the office like that... Sit down and speak normally!!

Not very Germanic those lads!

People who fail to lick, or scrape, the yoghurt from the lid thus wasting lovely tasty yoghurt.

Those of this ilk probably don't eat the bit of egg white from the inside bit of a chopped off top of a hard boiled egg, too.

Wastrels!!

wasting lovely tasty yoghurt.

Surely this is an oxymoron?

Surely this is an oxymoron?

It is if it's nice, salty... Oh no, sorry, wrong forum! 😆

Went to the local shop by the holibob park yesterday for essential bits ,we know that the prices are going to be more expensive and we never minded support the local shops etc.
I knew it had been taken over a while back as the local owners sold up .
When I got to the till they scanned and did the total which I questioned as I remembered some of the prices and the till assistant claimed that many of the shelf prices were wrong as they are not a big supermarket and they don't have time to update the prices .Bear in mind as I approached the till 2 assistants were standing and nattering.
I returned my basket and walked out.
Maybe I was overtired as I had a long day or would you be more understanding?

If the items aren't individually priced, then the shelf prices are what should be used.
No excuse for knowing they might be wrong and doing nothing about it.

If that's the displayed price they have to sell for that price, cou could insist they do so- We've been caught that way a few times when different clients used different prices but it was our own fault so we had to sell at the price posted.
Also from memory you're going through a trying time at the moment so I'd be inclined to cut you some slack.
