Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

It's on the news now, nationwide Morrisons outage. I'll be going back with my receipt for 10% off but others with failed delivery won't be so lucky

I understand people with mobility problems need deliveries

but while I am mobile I would never have all the stuff for Christmas delivered like that
it would drive me mad worrying about whether it would arrive and be OK or not

I prefer to go out and get it all myself - normally in sections with the fresh stuff last

I went there this morning with no problem.

PR disaster for Morrisons.
Not having your shopping delivered could be a major issue.

Right this has probably been mentioned before but

fancy new fangled coffee machine in cafes
now that's kinda OK for the people who want a skinny cappefracinalarto with added whatever

but a lot of us are just after a coffee - not even milk for me - or tea
so having one machine that a single person has to use to make Jasmins cappefracinalarto just meand that Fred and Mary have to wait behind for 30 minutes while the poor employee faffs about with 17 different procedures in order to make what is probably just a while coffee with some fancy powder sprinkled on it from a jar

when in the old days you got a mug from a jug that was doubled up so there was always one available
and tea was just boiling water poured into a teapot with a teabag in it and both took a few seconds and not the timetaken for the human race to evolve from apes to creatures able to invent a cappefracinalarto

Waste of bloomin' time

Power requirements 9.2 Amps, does it double as a portacabin heater.

Yeah those newfangled espresso machines from the 1950s.
I usually just get a regular coffee too but there’s no comparison in flavour between coffee from a drip machine and a proper espresso machine, even when it’s americano (espresso topped up with hot water).

And instant coffee is undrinkable. If I asked for a coffee in a cafe and they pulled out a jar of Nescafé I’d be going somewhere else.

It should be hot water topped up with espresso, rather than the other way around.

I like some instant coffees. Nescafe is drinkable, but nothing special. Kenco Millicano is the one we use at home.

Not the same drink as "proper" coffee, but still an enjoyable drink. And we don't have a machine at home. If we are having anything other than instant, it will be filter coffee made in a cafetiere.
