Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

My bank which has emailed a special offer to open an identical savings accout to the one I already have, but with an added 1% interest for the next six months. Why not just add the 1% to the account already in place?

Drivers in a long line to turn left (right for the UK) at a light and they wait until the car in front has exited the intersection before starting their turn, oblivious to the needs of the 10 drivers behind them also trying to make it through the light.

I agree with that, but what do you think of drivers who blindly try to cross junctions without checking if the exit is clear, or going to be clear?
With the result that they come to rest blocking the junction for all traffic flows.

Right, where do I campaign for more enforcement cameras?

The number of traffic lights there are, the local hotel has them, as does the nursing home as goes every little side road they are a waste of money, cause global warming and slow the traffic. Imho.

Also the number if road works it's all the money that was "spent" before march 31st being used.
More crossings everywhere... Bike lanes which are full of debris. Yet the council is skint! 🤔

It gets worse by the day with these won't indicate drivers! Yesterday evening I had to stop behind a small van about a yard away from the middle white line. What's happening here I thought. 🤔 A few cars came from the opposite direction then this vehicle turned right without indicating! Why just why did this @#@#ing idiot not indicate his/her intention to turn right??!!

Even at cycling speed I find that people suddenly appear in front of me as I turn into side roads so I reckon that drivers slowing down to do it makes a lot of sense! Why is everyone in such a hurry these days?

No one on their deathbed ever said "I wish I had spent more time stuck in traffic"

I see stationary traffic ahead of me... Some motorist accelerates, does a dangerous overtake to get past me, cuts me up, and then slams his/her brakes on to avoid crashing into the back of the car in front... What's the big hurry to be stationary?

People who slow to a crawl before turning into a side road...

Could have something to do with the new emphasis in the HC that pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into have priority.

To me,it seems people definitely do not think about their actions, be it whatever they are involved in.
There's a short piece of dual carriageway which has a traffic light controlled junction ,which narrows to a single carriage way ,with dual lanes each way.
The lights control a crossroads,the majority 'race' along the outside lane, knowing full well that there inevitably will be a queue to turn right, so will be impeded.
Never mind they just sneak into the inside lane that is going straight on, causing congestion on the way, WHY ,if they are turning right they have a reason to be outside, if they're not, go inside and avoid confrontation.
It's the same in whatever , if the selfish consider there's an advantage in not giving consideration to others, then they take it.
You simply can't be somewhere else before you started, so what rush every thing?

People who don’t reciprocate feedback on e-bay. 😡

I’ve just been offered a fruit pastel. Not eaten one in years, but the recipe has changed and they are now far too soft.
Seems like I won’t be eating them again any time soon.

I heard my dog retching up yellowy/green bile yesterday and quickly picked him up to let him throw up on the hard surface, easier to clean up kitchen floor, rather than the carpet he was led on. As usual when this happens I put some paper kitchen towel over it let it soak up before mopping the floor. Unfortunately I left the paper on the floor instead of picking it up and mopping, before I went out. I'd forgot all about it when I got home and must've treated the paper towel as any other dropped paper towel and just picked it up without mopping where it'd been. My thought are that I've probably walked on that bit of floor that still had dog bile on it and walked it around my flat!!

Yeah but can you eat a fruit pastille without chewing it? 🤔

The disabled badge holder, parked on double yellows, right on the corner of a T-junction, blocking the dropped curb. Very considerate. Nobber!

Insurance company that sends you an email saying your car insurance is close to renewal and they have an offer that you'll go on if you do nothing. Then they tell you to log on to see what it is!

I mean those emails are automated so how much more effort to just get them to add the details to it instead of me having to find where I put the login details. I find that annoying! I can't easily swap insurers neither as my day van conversion is a special case that most insurers and comparison sites don't fully handle. Only a few specialist insurance brokers do.

I'm probably going to get rid of my van before the insurance comes up as it's too much hassle and people ask for favours for removal jobs...
