What tiny things make you irrationally annoyed?

Especially the HNY when there's more of January gone than is still left!

People saying "Happy New Year" or asking "Did you have a good weekend?"

Well if you could tell that to my local Tescos it would be appreciated because they do it all through the day and it makes it impossible to shop.

Yes aware of how to spell it, my phone must have autocorrected but thanks for trying to belittle me 👍🏼

People who talk in cinemas and theatres. If you want to have a conversation, stay at home or go to the pub. Don’t disrupt everyone else with your inane chatter/ commentary on what you’re watching!

I'm a picker and this is how it works. The ambient and frozen items for customers are all picked starting around 11pm. Then, we work the massive overnight delivery which comes in around 2am, replenishing chilled and fresh produce like fruit, veg, bread etc on the shelves. (On many of these lines there's very little left from the previous day.)

Then when that's done it's around 5am and so we can now pick the chilled and produce lines because they're actually available now. We aim to have it completed by 7.30am when the shop opens, but on some days there are so many orders, it's not humanly possible. So everything possible is already being done. It's very hard picking when customers are in, so it's not done then unless there is no choice. So please don't be so scathing. Each of the trollies we have holds 12 crates, so it's potentially saving 12 people from clogging up the store further.

(Also it's *kerb not curb.)

Usually in supermarkets, people who don’t pick their feet up, but slop along, scraping the soles of whatever is on their feet along the floor, and often leaning on the trolley at the same time.

Mine does most of those too actually. He also:

Asks 'who' s had my screwdriver/hat?' in an accusatory fashion when he's left it lying around somewhere. See also, 'who's moved such and such'.

Not realising that looking for something effectively involves using his hands and eyes and not just staring gormlessly into a cupboard.

Doing the 'man attending to a BBQ' thing whist cooking by standing in front of the hob stirring or poking something once every few minutes instead of multitasking and tidying up, cleaning, preparing crockery etc as he goes.

I assumed they meant people who don't take their backpack off when the train/bus is very busy and who therefore take up more space/bash people with their bag as they turn round etc. That is pretty annoying.

Cutting in places where plasters don’t sit well. Then if cut yourself at my previous job, wore those blue food hygiene plasters which fell off if you bend your finger 5 times after putting it on. Which was 30 seconds

What are you talking about, you maniac?

There are courier deliveries such as Just Eat which we got pinged from 7am to 7pm

My friend who did order picks for home delivery said the problem is that doing picks at 5am you more to get missing items/subs as not all the delivery has arrived and on the shelves etc.

As often customers had a delivery at 9am came in 3pm saying “I got this as a sub for (item picked up from shelf) and there are loads on the shelf”. Obviously my friend didn’t serve the customer at 3pm. But once a fortnight she did a 10-6 shift

I would be irritated at this (backpacks are so practical! Would you rather they had a trolley or a suitcase?), but using rice cracker emojis 🍘 when presumably you meant to use a sweary emoji 🤬 has made the whole thing rather comical.

Aggressive rice crackers 😂 it's like a grumpy version of the jellycat amuseables, I love it 😍😂

Families going en masse to the food shops on a weekend. Two adults and various kids. Why?
Men spitting. So gross.
People in parking lots waiting for someone to pull out but sit in the middle of the lanes so everyone behind has to wait too rather than pass while the parked driver sorts themselves out.
And people who park in the click and collect bays but are doing a self shop.
People who let their dogs bound up to you and meekly shout ‘they’re friendly’. Well your dog may be but what about mine (leashed and now trembling/growling).

The noise on the hour that's on the BBC News channel. It's a full minute of a horrible aggressive banging "music".

The incorrect use of "may" is on the rise. As in "may you give me this information?" It's the superior bastard cousin of "myself". I'm an internal legal auditor and I see it lots in emails. Sadly grammar is not on our checklist.

This!
it doesn’t exactly take a great deal of effort does it. Especially people who change lanes on the motorway without indicating. WTF!

Spitters are so horrible I shout at them. People who don't pick up dog poo.....again I shout at them.

People wearing backpacks on public transport. I want them to suffer. 🍘🍘🍘

People who cough and make no effort at all to cover their face, and then do another little cough with their face covered to pretend they had manners all along. 🍘🍘🍘

Self service check outs in the supermarket. My local supermarket is fairly big but nearly all the tills are self service. I get so frustrated because there’s hardly ever a time when I don’t have to wait for a member of staff to come and approve something.

Staff fulfilling click and collect grocery orders during opening times so customers who are physically in the shop can’t actually get to anything they need. I know it’s not the staffs fault but those orders really should be done out of hours so customers can actually shop.

The group of gossiping parents at the school pick up and drop off who think it’s acceptable to stand and gossip on the drop curb of the only safe crossing outside the school. (they stand on the yellow bumpy pavers blocking the whole drop curb and pavement so no one can get past). Always say sorry when dozens of people ask them to move every single morning but are too thick or ignorant to not stand there in the first place.

Doorbells that don’t work. HATE IT. Standing on doorstep for ages, when they can’t hear the knocker, aren’t answering their phone, waste of time.

The word cuppa

... but that is how you spell it:
