Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Only partially responsible. I think I've started two and contribute to a few. But the 'MBIFO' is my fault, sorry.

You can't say objectively that 18 is "barely warm", for many people that is quite hot. I'll be cycling with bare arms & legs at anything above 14, and find that quite comf

Ok, you bought a big box of expensive fireworks...

For the 3rd night in less than a week you are scaring pets and waking up young children.

How about waiting until Bonfire Night or NYE to use them next time?

SELFISH MORONS!!!

The ones letting them off at the moment aren't very pet, or animals in general friendly!

My flat stinks of cow shoot!! It's coming from not too far away fields and with it not being windy the stench has settled and isn't moving. Not like me to do so, but I lit a scented candle and it still stunk of cow poop! We even had a small house/flat fire round here last night, but such was the strength of the cow shoot smell I couldn't even smell the fire at all!!

This doesn’t make me annoyed but I just think why do people take so many pictures when out on their bikes. I struggle to get anything out of the pockets of modern cycling jersey,so there’s no way I’m going spend time b@gger I g about getting my phone out every five minutes.
Actually pockets on modern cycling tops annoy me to distraction. It’s probably on a par with the tw@ting autocorrect on here.

These days my phone is carried in a bag which is either in a backpack or a pannier so I don't take many ride photos these days either. It's a pity because the camera on my phone (a Pixel 8) is very good and I ride in some lovely places.

I used to carry my small Canon camera in a bar-bag but don't bother using it now.

I've got many a good shot while rolling slowly up a mountain. Stopping would break the rhythm, that's why.

I sometimes fail to get my house keys out of my pocket when I get home. So there’s no way I could pull a phone out of my pocket while riding.

On my summer top, it is very easy to get my phone out. I still don't tend to stop as often as many on here for photos though. More often than I used to, but still not every ride, and not many times on one ride..

My winter top on the other hand, it is quite difficult to get anything out of the pockets.

Taken June last year going up Lagos de Covadonga. My memory is good, this is better. 😉

Apparently it will take my GP a whole SIX WEEKS to fill out a simple form for my travel insurance claim - and they expect me to pay for the privilege too

So your annoyed because you have asked a busy person to fill out a claim for you and they wont do it for free ? I think your expecting too much.

I passed someone today that was riding along with both hands ON his phone

I didn;t hit him due to concentration

he didn;t hit me due to luck

Marketing

Honestly - how do these people live with themselves??

Just seen an advert for Venus razors (sorry shavers) for ladies

different ones for each damn area
even a special one for the "pubic area"

Bloomin' heck

Think of the unwitting damage I have been doing to my face my shaving every day without even thinking whether or not I should be using the same device for my cheeks as for my neck


what a load of cobblers!!!!

 

[Gillstay]

You cannot say its cobblers until you have tried doing your face with a pubic one surely. Do report back please.

It’s not a complicated thing. It’s tick boxes and, yes I am expecting a little service from someone who is paid to have me on his “list” and for whom, in the last thirty years, I have caused very little effort. The whole “doctors are so hard worked” thing evokes little sympathy from one who worked in an allied health profession where we were expected to jump through hoops for them and get little in return. I’ll stop now or I might be reprimanded

I was going to ask if I could borrow yours to try it out

but then thought that anything you have been using round there is best left where it is!!!
