Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Mike Ayling]

Same with the previous owners of our house. Everything was ultra modern and expensive but is actually worse as soon as it's not "new" anymore.

Most things in the house were slimline/ultra modern/bells and whistles. We've had to replace most of it. A Combi oven which was far too complicated we never used it. A microwave that continues to beep for 3 minutes once it's finished. Waterfall taps in the bathroom which are only good for banging your head/legs on, and have started leaking, but contain no servicable parts.

Easy way to silence the microwave is to turn it off at the power point!

Not really annoys me, but I feel the need to have my say.

In Mrs Merton style. "Katie, what attracted you to the now walks with a zimmer frame, with a 50 inch waist and old enough to be your dad, multi millionaire Eamonn Holmes"?

YouTube ads generally, but currently there's one for a dance show that looks like a cheap screensaver. I've no idea why anyone would watch it, or indeed want to support the totalitarian country that is sponsoring it.

That is why I pay for YouTube Premium! It is quite expensive but I use YouTube a lot and the ads were doing my head in...

YouTube Music is a nice bonus.

Today's irritation is not going out on my bike because I was waiting in for a parcel. EVRI waited until it got dark and chilly and the traffic had picked up before telling me that it has been put off until tomorrow! I don't feel like going out now...

And what is even more irritating is rereading the message and seeing that it says that the driver attempted to deliver the parcel at 16:32. Oh no he didn't - I was sitting less than 3 metres from the door at that time and heard nothing. Okay, maybe he got out of van, stared at my door, didn't bother knocking, then drove off. No, he didn't!

Hard wired sound system

I expect my QUAD amps to still be running in another 50 years with servicing from their own engineers

Is there an echo in here...?

I have just fished out the old Mission 77 bookshelf speakers that I used as a student from 1983-1986. A mate sold me a 35W/channel amp to power them. They will be providing the motivational music to boost my future Zwift sessions. Wired for the win!

after spending the last 24 hours adjusting my sleep pattern from getting up at 4am to prepare for doing a night shift tonight that ends at 6am tomorrow morning, I get text an hour ago from my boss saying that she's dropped my shift tonight

I get irritated by the amount of lipsalve left in the tube thingy that can't be rubbed directly on my lips as the plastic edge scrapes the skin off!
I resort to hoiking it out with a fingernail to save wasting it..
