Your everyday minor annoyances.

[WildRosie]

Why are pub/cafe/restaurant tables always wobbly ? I have a knack of finding them. I'm going to start going out armed with folded pieces of paper and beer mats, just in case.

And this! I've found my people

Yes, ditto the Tube.

When driving and people barge out in front of me even though there is no one behind

Better yet, when they do that to then drive at a snail's pace.

The M&S Sparks card. It's new enough to Ireland - not sure if it's the same in UK, but the 'offers' are desperate, the card doesn't scan from the app half the time & I just feel cheated 😀 I know all the supermarket loyalty schemes are a gimmick but I feel rewarded by the others!

Those indented round push button toilet flushes. Clearly designed by someone who hadn't realised human beings have fingernails, even shortish nails.

Sticky labels you have to peel off and it leaves half the glue and bits of the label behind.

Anxious people- not the ill kind, the ones afraid of their own shadow who make everything such a chore

Film lids on coleslaw and dips when then used to be proper lids. Whose planet does it save? If the box was recyclable before, and the lid was same material, no problems! U replace that with unrecyclable film, also I have to now wrap in cling film. It's deliberate. No one in history has ever polished off a four pack dip same day, they know you'll chuck it after its crusty, and now you'll buy another

People who walk close behind you but won't overtake !

@MrsU2022 SAME HERE! This happened infront of my eyes last Sunday. On a dual carriageway - ambulance with lights and sirens flying up the right lane, every one pulling into the left (there was lots of space) .. this one prick in a van just sat in the right lane at a steady 60 for AGES I’m talking the length of the carriageway (about 5 mins! ) until we got to lights. Unbelievable! I was screaming at him as I’m sure everyone else was too but he was oblivious 😡

i am intolerant of most humans so my list is LONG 😂
But on a typical day it’s got to be;
struggling to park next to me in an empty carpark as @JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue said .

people walking in couples/ groups on a path and not going single file when you meet so you end up going on the road or barging (how entitled are they😫)

in a shop when you are standing looking at a bay (e.g trying to choose a bday cake looking at them all) and someone has no self awareness (or spacial) and just stands right infront of you to look at the same bay.

being stared at by anybody whilst sat on train etc (except for babies😍)

@woodhill YES! every pissing day

All parking machines in my local town, where you have to practically break your thumbs to push the button in.

Driving at 30 mph down the 60 mph country lane but not slowing down when they pass through the 20 mph village. Geographically specific that one

Those push down and then twist tops on things like bleach, garden feed etc. I can never get it open first time, it usually takes about four or five goes.

I do have tendonitis in my hands so it is really hard work for me and often leaves me with really painful thumbs after.

"Peel here". I would but it's usually impossible.

Sod's law says wherever I need to be in a supermarket or shop, there is someone stood right in front of that very spot at that exact time. I once wanted to pick up some bananas in Sainsbury's. There was a chap already there doing likewise and dithering over it. So I decided I'd leave him to it and go back in a few minutes. Ten minutes later, he is still there. Nincompoop!

@Squidwitch for PM!

How have people got the time

I had this in Lidl once when a man spent so long choosing some smoked salmon, if someone is patiently waiting could they not hurry up a bit

People who flick out their wheely suitcases behind them without checking if anyone is actually there and about to be felled

in a shop when you are standing looking at a bay (e.g trying to choose a bday cake looking at them all) and someone has no self awareness (or spacial) and just stands right infront of you to look at the same bay.

Mine is the reverse of this. I hate grocery shopping so I'm in and out, no dithering, and there's ALWAYS someone stood for ages staring at all of the things, but right in front of the one thing I know I want. So yes, after staring at the back of them for a full minute I go in and reach in front of them with a quick 'sorry' and take what I want.

Another one of my annoyances. People replying to someone with no context. Instead of using the quote function.

AMAs particularly drive me mad for this. Really interesting subject with lots of good questions then the OP just comes on, tags a bunch of people and replies things like 'yes, that's right'. I have to scroll and and forth all the time to see if a question I wanted to know the answer to has in fact been answered!

Getting my sleeve caught on a door handle so you’re dragged backwards. The rage!

People replying to someone with no context. Instead of using the quote function.

Not quite your annoyance but on the app, you can only quote-reply once, whereas on the browser you can have multiple-quoted posts.

It means on the app you only see the last quote in the line of quoted posts so the context is completely missing.

Also another annoying issue that I've raised on Site Stuff multiple times, but no one seems interested in addressing whether or not it will ever become available. The app is much more accessible to me (and I'm sure many others) in terms of layout and ease of reading, so that's yet another annoyance!
