Petty things that annoy you inordinately

[IntermittentParps]

Mine is when I pour a mug of water for tea and the teabag tag gets dragged into the mug. SO tiny but SO irritating.

Adverts for endless shiney new cars, with glammed up smiling people in them, driving through city streets, with no other cars around, and also,driving on some lovely scenic routes, still with no other car to be seen on them.

My car, which displays my speed on the dashboard, has taken to randomly switching between miles and kilometres as it fancies with no warning.
I know the speed limit in miles, no idea about kilometres. Stop randomly changing!

When local businesses whine on FB about how people should shop locally instead of giving more money to Bezos et al, yet when you do buy something from them, the product and/or service is shit.

When there are loads of free spaces in the car park, I park and someone parks right next to me while I'm trying to open my door to get out.

@FetchezLaVache you are after the advert jingle I have been singing for thirty years

I have no idea when or indeed why Sylvanian Families turned to the dark side.

Capital I written as in this typeface. Even when I write in capital letters, every single I will have a top and tail on!

Men People walking towards me on the pavement in the middle of the pavement, who don't do what I do and pick a side of the pavement to walk on when passing each other. They just plough ahead taking up all the space and then forcing me to walk on the grass or kerb because there's no room. Just make a bit of room for fucks sake!

Retired people who queue up outside the post office before it opens at 8am, so that I can't post anything on my way to work. They have all day to go to the post office, and it's rarely busy in the middle of the day. Why they do this is a total mystery to me.

The incorrect use of ‘myself’ and ‘yourself’
Incorrect use of ‘sat’, ie, “I was sat on the chair”. It should be “I was sitting on the chair”.

When you're dipping a biscuit in a cup of tea and it drops in.

I love all of you.

Both things which so many eBay sellers do:

1. Bolster a description of an item of clothing by saying “would look great with a floppy hat and a pair of cowboy boots.” I can dress myself, I don’t need your opinion of what goes best with a mohair cardigan.

1. Display garments pinned around a dummy or torso model, regardless of size. The dummy/model will invariably be a size 8-10, even if the piece of clothing is a size 18. This gives a size 18 person no idea whatsoever what the clothing will look like on them. I’m not even affected by this and it irritates me!

“PurpleDaisies

Anyone calling squash “juice”. Or using the word “juice” without a description of what type it is.”

Scottish - I do this and make no apologies! Alll juice is juice.

Yes! I like juice. I despise squash. Imagine my horror at being offered a glass of juice and accepting, only to be handed a glass of squash.

People who don’t remove the cross stitch from the vent at the back of their suit or winter coat. It’s not a f*cking design feature.

I know how irrational this is

People who pull out in front of you to drive slowly. RAGE.

MIL buying endless crap for my house under the guise of it being a present for DP. It’s always something we would never buy, that doesn’t have a place in my stylish very minimal house. If I wanted a great big garish painting I would buy one.

Watching films on TV in the evenings and it being interrupted every 10 minutes by adverts so it takes over 2 hours to watch.

The Post Office being closed 1-2. I know they need to have their lunch but why at the same time the majority of their customers are also having lunch and therefore have time to pop to the post office

Tea towels hung over handles except oven one and cloths over tap

So bad

The way Americans say Route and the way they spell Centre. Really should not be an issue but it is....

The Jet 2 jingle.

When there are 12 empty showers at the gym and somebody gets in the one next to me.....I move.

When I call my teenagers and they don’t answer and/or I text them cos cant be bothered to go upstairs

Scottish people call squash juice we also call many fruit /fizzy drinks Juice it is what it is 😄

I get the rage at peel here tabs. That don't actually peel!

Tinned tuna with no ring pull - such a palaver to open and drain
Trying to get olives out of a jar that is too thin at the neck - just make wider shorted jars?!
Deffo for socks/clothes sticking out of drawers so they don't shut
Forgetting to charge electric toothbrush so it dies in your mouth - every. time.
Grammatical errors
Make up transfer to everything but now add masks to the list
Oh i could go on all day!

Dh throwing tea towels in the wash basket (when they're not dirty) and not getting out a clean one.
