Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

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

I obviously used the wrong one today because I have red blotches all over my face where I took some of the skin off as well!

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.

I've never worn a cycling Jersey, so I can't comment on the issues there: I find "Work" trousers very practical for both riding and camera retrieval.

I don’t think I would be wanting to ride for 5 hours plus in a pair of suit trousers. Which were my work trousers when I worked.

OT:

Vittoria latex inner tube valve cores. They keep loosening on me. Today, I have applied some thread lock...

How do you retrieve a camera with your work trousers?

Ah, yes, I forgot some people woprk in sensible jobs. I tend to wear this sort of trousers at work, and they're surprisingly practical when triding too. Of course people wonder why a carpenter is apparently riding on a bicycle but still...

I'm not allowed to buy a handsaw from Ebay because I don't have a credit card to prove that I'm over 18.

I was about to ask how you buy anything from ebay then, but of course you can use a debit card for most things. Which you can have from age 16 normally, younger in some cases.

the credit card isn't for the purchase... just proof of age. I could buy the handsaw with my debit card/paypal or whatever, but not before giving them the details of the credit card i haven't got. It's a pity they don't have an alternative means of determining that a buyer is over 18... like me having my ebay account for 22 years.

All the threads with people saying they’ve got out of bed, just have one thread.

Teachers who set homework remotely during holidays.

Eg: kids are on Easter break right now and have just received a homework assignment.

WOW !

What if you had gone off on a holiday and de3cided the kids needed to spend the whole time screen free
and to show respect promised them that you would do the same

Then the kids get back and find they have 1 day to get homework done and get into trouble for not finishing it??

Teachers are supposed to plan
I mean - if it had arrived on the first day off then maybe OK - but still assumes that all kids have WWW access and devices and all that
the kids I taught certainly couldn;t be expected to be able to do that!

Comments in newspapers - especially local ones

in particular the ones where the person commenting has clearly not read the article properly
In this case the article was only one screen worth about active travel in the Liverpool City Reegion and some new routes

never mentioned the routes or regions
but did mention that previous funding has sometimes gone to the Silver Jubilee Bridge (the old Runcorn Widnes bridge)

2 comments appeared saying the bridge already has a cycle lane and the money should go somewhere else
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAID YOU PLONKER!!!

Honestly!
(probably go to Southport or the new stadium for some loser football club anyway - they never look over here!!)
