What tiny things make you irrationally annoyed?

There's one about half a mile further away in a different direction which has self scans.

Edit - I just had a look on Streetview at the Lidl without the selfscans and the one I visit. The one without self scans opened end June 2018 as there was a poster on the SV a few weeks before they opened with the opening date.

The Lidl I usually shop at opened a year later. It was Waitrose in Sept 2018 and the the next SV was Nov 2020.

The winner 😂

Oh dear! Being gender critical does not make one transphobic. HTH.

Yes, transphobia is completely pleasant isn't it

Same here.

I cannot take ibuprofen either, at least not for long term pain relief. It messes with my thyroid meds and I get anaemic.

Ibuprofen can mess with blood pressure meds.
We've to stick to paracetamol for that reason.

My dm refuses to take ibuprofen too lol.

Or Ibuprofen. (Paracetamol is shit imo.)

People who complain that they are in pain but they refuse to take paracetamol.

What a very unpleasant post.

Fog lights when it’s not foggy.

When people misuse the word "reactionary".

It doesn't mean "having a big reaction to something", it means socially conservative, i.e. social policies backwards rather than supporting onward change.

I cringe when I see people misusing it because it takes any credibility out of whatever they were trying to say. It doesn't mean they're stupid, it means they assume the meanings of things rather than checking.

Our Lidl opened just after COVID and had them from the very start. I did actually Google it last night like a saddo and there was something about them rolling it out strategically, largely in urban areas with high footfall to begin with. We are suburban (ish) so not sure how ours qualified. I know some people just pop in solely for bakery items so baffles me why they haven't done this everywhere. Hope you get it soon!

The man who invented pop-ups has apologised. 🤣

But he does seem like a nice guy!

I wish I was there💂

There is a Lidl opened around 2017 1.5 miles from me has no self scans. You get students from the colleges and academy opposite buying pastries, crisps etc. They queue up.

The store has 6 or 7 checkouts and only seen 4 used at the same time. This is a great example of this store requiring self scans. Yes I know all Lidl’s self scans are card only but the students pay with card.

Whaaaaaat @RonaldMcDonaldTrump?! Pls tell me where, I am prepared to move.

To be honest it doesn't bother me that much for my own use, as I never pop in to Lidl in a hurry other than at 9pm at night. But it's when I'm standing in the queue with a big shop and 5 people with pastries and wine just want to nip in front of me because they're in a hurry 🙄

My local Lidl does! But apparently this is rare. It might be a pilot before they roll them out everywhere but they've had them a good couple of years now

When I've just bought something from the shops and DH eats some of it within half an hour of it being in the house. Yes I know I've bought it to be consumed but for fucks sake, let me have a full fucking loaf of bread in my breadbin for a few hours before you get your fat hands on it.

Bought a quiche yesterday. It's finished already. I had one sliver.

Loud chewers including those who smack their lips to eat. It sets off the serial killer in me. Also people who gather in a group to discuss their mundane lives right outside a shop door. And people who spend about £50 on scratch cards taking forever at the till getting the staff the check them all

One from my call centre days. Customers spent around 10 mins on queue to speak to me.
"Thank you for calling (company). You are speaking to (byeretail). Can I please take your account number?"

"Oh I just find that for you". You had ten minutes to find that.

I always have these details in front of me when I do phone call centres

Amazon Music's My Soundtrack.

I listen to Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Clash, The Who, 80s Pop, Oasis, Motown, 70s and 60s music.

So why the fuck does My Soundtrack play Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles and other acts like this? I have never played a song by them only on My Soundtrack

People who have their fog lights on because it’s dark/winter/slightly rainy.

People who can’t use the words ‘to be’ - “That door needs closed”. No, the door needs TO BE closed.

People who go anywhere near a ticket barrier without their ticket to hand.

Anyone standing on the left on an escalator.

“Super” instead of “very” (or similar) - “Can we get that meeting booked? My diary is super busy”. Ditto “reaching out”.

Websites that hassle you for a review. Keep hassling me and it’s a one-star review for you.

But the very last circle of hell is being able to hear the phone or eating noises of another person. Put some fucking headphones in and close your fucking mouth before you chew/crunch. If I can hear you it’s likely I’ve made a short list of ways to kill you.

It is one of the best tv comedies ever though. "To the regiment".
