Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[outlash]

Elderly people, why do you go shopping on Saturday morning? You've got all sodding week to amble round and yet you insist on clogging up the aisles taking 10 minutes mulling over what pack of sausages you want when us employed types have to squeeze it in to our already packed weekend.


Tony.

People who clean up after their dog then discard the poo bag anywhere except the bin

On the Bristol to Bath Railway Path, I have actually seen this put in freezer bags and hung from tree branches. WTF are you thinking of??

Other irritations and niggles in my life are:

1. The tabloid obsession with the utterly unimportant trivia of anything royal, especially one tabloid owned by a craggy old bloke whose staff are allegedly involved in phone hacking.

2. Jeremy Clarkson.

3. Hollywood's obsession with mega budget sh**e films involving huge robots ie. All Transformers films, Battleship and the upcoming dross that is Pacific Rim. Thank God for Peter Jackson.

4. The 'lets re-interpret a film/album/TV show for the modern generation' attitude that is quite obviously commercially motivated eg War of the Worlds (I also made the mistake of buying Classic Rock edition of Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth - being a geologist - it's cr*p. The 1974 one is best). While we're at it, shall we repaint the Mona Lisa for a new generation?.

5. Shop assistants in mobile phone shops who pounce on you like flies to s**t about one nanosecond after you walk in.

6. Minor niggle - as a Trek fan, people always mistake T'Pau as Spocks mum. Nope, she was human and called Amanda.

That reminds me, new trek film out in May. Yipee!.....

Clarkson is without doubt the second most irritating man on the telly, but remember that he did punch the most irritating man (Piers Morgan) so he is a candidate for sainthood in my book.

My Henry the hoover will bang into door frames, chairs, table legs, the dogs, anything but pass along the floor or through a door cleanly. The little bugger is incapable of moving in a straight line, he drives me mad.

paying my suppliers invoices when I have already spent the profit.

all lower case sorry 4f

Oh, and on the subject of queuing, I find it annoying when I have to queue for like 10+ minutes to do something that takes 20 seconds.

 

[tadpole]

knives go down, forks and spoons go up, it's simple!

All point up, as it stops the blades being stained with what ever is not washed off properly. The rule is "concentrate on what you are doing" and "focus on the task" and you'll not get cut. Don't blame others for your own inattention.

 

[Leaway2]

Members of my family who deny wearing or moving my slippers,and then I find them hours later in their bedrooms!!!!!!!

Yeah I get that all the time. Unfortunately I live alone .

Just went to Morrisons pharmacy to pick up a prescription that I put in yesterday.

The lady apologised and said it was dinner time and I would have to wait until the Pharmacist returned from Lunch - he is sitting 5' feet away looking at newspaper and nibbling on a sandwich.

'unexpected item in the bagging area'

I f*cking HATE self-service tills (probably because I'm crap at scanning and bagging and get all worked up.

Aldi and Lidl till operators who you just can't keep up with, no matter how you try.

Poorly organised groups of cyclist out for a ride.

Signs that say "Disabled Toilet" it's a "Toilet for the Disabled"; the toilet works perfectly - there's nothing wrong with it.

Me too, thanks for that. Good pub quiz fodder.

I thought it was just me who found her infuriating.

Watching Railway Walks, she has a couple of points in her favour, but then she puts her anorak on.
