Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Worse still are Talksport ads, them being double the volume of the cricket commentary.
A positive is that it helps keep me away from the misogynistic style commentary. England really have to be doing extremely well for me to put up with it.

I don't think you mean misogynistic?

More like undertones. Testosterone driven. Steve Harmison is the sedate one!

The other day when my dog was coughing I said to someone "I wonder if it's kennel cough"? They asked me if he'd ever been in 'the kennels', as in with other dogs. When I told them he hadn't they mockingly said "Well how can he have contracted kennel cough if he hasn't been in kennels with other dogs"? I replied "So you can only catch Legionaries Disease if you've been in the French Foreign Legion then"?! 🧐

When a bit of shower gel manages to escape without being lathered up!

When your in a quiet restaurant and the waiter puts you all together when you could be all spread out so as not to overhead or be over heard!

I think that's a fair "annoyance" !

Reminds me of the one when I used to drive - you park in an empty car-park, the next driver seems compelled to park in the space next to you

It's a prelude to 'dogging'

The current style of adverts I get bombarded with on YouTube. When I'm signed in, it's food supplement adverts. When I'm not signed in, it's trading and investing adverts.

Ps: whatever happened to those mattress adverts: I guess that ship has sailed.

I watch YouTube on my laptop and have never seen an advert. I'm using Firefox browser with a couple of extensions ( Ublock, and Privacy Badger iirc )

Not sure if this should be in the football thread, but I hate those so called bands that follow certain football teams, especially England.

An out of tune drummer and trumperer playing their one or two tunes for the full 90 minutes really ruins the atmosphere imo

My work Macbook seems to be able to miss all the adverts, my home Windows machine doesn't. I need to have a look and see what it is on the Mac tgaht is skipping them. Both are running Chrome.

Did you mean to say 'trumpeter'?

Think trumperer describes that particular musical affront.

I'm trivially annoyed with myself. On my way home about half an hour ago I wanted to turn left, but a car at the junction was blocking my way. I thought "why is he/she not pulling out to let me turn left"? After a few seconds the driver pulled out. Then I realised that even though I thought I was, I wasn't indicating left, so the other motorist must've wondered why I'd stopped. I'm a stickler for indicating and take offence when cars turn here and there, pull out pull over etc without indicating, yet I did the same, albeit by mistake not intentionally. In my defence when I indicate my car doesn't make a ticking sound, which to me is a bad fault as sometimes I've left my indicator(s) on without knowing and sent out the wrong signal to other motorists. The 'clock' on my car is also badly lit, which means the supposed flashing light is hardly visible. I wish I could find the driver of that car and explain that I thought I was indicating, but wasn't. Maybe I'm overthinking this?

I bought some Tesco washing machine liquid thinking it was biological due to the bottles blue markings and cap, only to find it was non-biological. They had green markings bottles, but I thought with green being an 'earth colour' that would've been the non-bio one, but no the green one is biological. This is similar to Walkers crisps were they don't pack cheese & onion crisps in the traditional green cheese & onion packets, but instead they use blue packaging which is traditionally salt & vinegar, which is annoyingly packaged in green not blue!

Just read the labels with care!
