Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

When people at work have their own set of rules to everyone else.

Heinz has solved your problem, Accy!! 👍🏼

Spag bog as we say down unda- when we cook it at home we use the pasta spirals, and eat it with a spoon - simples

With practice, nesting it in a spoon works well.

That said, I've often wondered at tle logic of making a food so long that diners have to mess about nesting it in a spoon before eating...

Only foreign diners need a spoon.

I’ve never seen an Italian use a spoon that way to eat spaghetti. It’s simple enough to use only a fork, twist it in the plate to load up with a ball of spaghetti and then eat it. No need to slurp long strands because there aren’t any.

I too do this, but still a bit will unravel and flick bolognese somewhere on me. My elderly Italian auntie doesn't understand it either!

Blue vs green when it comes to crisps. Sea brooks uses blue for salt and vinegar where as walkers uses green. Always pick the wrong colour first!

I went shopping today. I 'lost' the sunglasses i'd only bought 5 days before,so reluctantly after going back into the shops i'd been in before and asking if i'd left them there...with no luck,i bought a new pair,as the sun was sooo bright. After i'd forked out 20 quid on a new pair i looked in a carrier bag with my mutt's food and water in and found the pair i'd lost!🧐

People who go on the "For Sale" thread to say the particular bike for sale is "too small / too big" for them.

The person selling the bike really doesn't need to know this, they just want to sell the bike.

It depends how they do it...

"Sorry - the bike is too big/small for me" is pretty useless to the vendor.

"Oh damn - the bike is too big/small for me! I absolutely love those bikes. A mate had one. I was really impressed with it so I have been looking for one at a good price ever since. Good luck with the sale - I'm sure that some lucky CycleChat member will bite your hand off to get it at that price" would be pretty helpful!

When people say:

Things will be back to normal soon (what's normal?).
The new normal (is t everything a new normal, else we would still be in the iron age, well, I don't think we would even leave that period!)

And people who put bikes up for sale without mentioning the size. 26" wheels isn't really enough info..

Scrapy squealy noises of cutlery on china plates.

I'm standing in line for a covid jab and there is a huge queue. Some people are convincing the queue organisers that their job is important and thus have to jump the queue.

Yeah like everyone has to get back to work, these friggin queue jumpers are highly annoying.

The next thing... the next thing... I need the next thing RIGHT NOW!!!

For example:
You're watching a youtube video, something that you're really interested in. You watch the build up, then the grand finale comes up towards the end, the very thing you wanted to see. Only, before the video has even finished, a few rectangles show up suggesting the next video you should watch. WTH!!! Cant they wait for the current video to completely finish before giving me the suggestions? WHAT A CROCK!

People have always got bored of the current thing and wanted the next thing. For cars, maybe 1-3 years, helped by PCP deals. For fashion, it could be every 3-6 months, a new handbag, a new pair of jeans. And for social media/youtube, we're looking at the next new things every few minutes.

It's pathetic and I find it very irksome.

That's the video producer not having allowed space at the end of the video for those ads to pop up into so they pop up over the content instead. I find it very annoying too.

It is likely to happen on old videos made before those popup ads were implemented by Google but new ones really ought to allow for them.
