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.

I’m so pleased this happens to someone else. I always feel like an idiot ( and it’s in my own house, I must know where the door handles are….)

Beat me to it! Also people who want to pay using their phone but don’t seem to know how to do it, so spend ages holding the b….thing up, down pressing wildly and then end up using a card anyway.

I'm not that keen on random obscenity either.

Catching my sleeve on a door handle turns me into Bruce Banner as he morphs into the Incredible Hulk. The absolute rage I feel

On the odd occasion I need cash people taking FOREVER at the cash machine. Seriously, what are you even doing? How could it possibly take so long to take some cash out.

Ordering food from McDonald’s drive thru and being told to park up and wait. Ffs I may as well have just gone in? What’s the point of a DRIVE-THRU if you have to go and stop your car.

Honestly so so many first world annoyances.

When there's a queue of people waiting at the till and the cashier and customer are having a good ole natter. The customer has now packed the last of her shopping and is about to leave but then the cashier then starts another conversation:
'By the way, how's Ellie-May?...'Really? Wow!' ....'Yes, she was always a clever one'....Oh good, give her my love, will you?'

Then the cashier turns to me and wants to asks me how I'm doing and if I'm having a good day?
Hello?!?! I've been standing here waiting for you for the last 25 mins. Lol

There is a street in my town on which there are three active Christian churches, and the congregations park on both sides of the street pretty much all Sunday morning. Through traffic is restricted to crawling along, carefully avoiding oncoming cars and the wing mirrors of parked cars too. Has the flotilla of lycra clad Sunday cyclists noticed any of this? If they have noticed the parking and traffic flow situation, do they care that they are occupying both of the traffic lanes for a distance of about a mile? No, apparently not. And apparently the STOP signs at the intersections along the street are for mere mortals.

Plus, sticky price tags that leave a gummy residue or come apart as you destroy your nails and the packaging or book cover underneath while picking them off.

People that drive really slowly in the right hand lane move over to the left ffs so we can over take, also people that aren’t ready when the lights change then take ages to go so yes do not give a shit that the rest of the traffic behind you has to wait now because the lights change . These people need to stop driving because they annoy me .
people that take their kids to the beer garden then ignore them so they run around annoying everyone.
faffers people that go on how busy they are but actually are just shit at organising their own time and refuse to change . I know several colleagues like this and will refuse to listen to suggestions or changes as ‘this is how it’s always been done’ which is very annoying.

acetone (nail varnish remover) or neat vodka are good for removing sticky residue.

I tried this with a book price sticker that didn’t come off a Christmas present for my Mum. I just ended up with a smelly book.

Oh yes, that really annoys me, don't they test them??

Petrol stations without pay at pump.

I wondered why everyone was taking so long the other day until it was my turn I doors to discover it was not only a convenience shop but also had a Subway counter, which people were using while parked at the pump...

School shoes but that's a once a year annoyance. (4 shoe shops, still no closer to get something that fits, meets regulations and is accepted by my child as comfortable. Primary school was easier)

This is my super power! Any door handle, anywhere in the world, I can catch my sleeve on it, guaranteed.

Going to wash my hands, no soap. No loo roll.

Ordering food from McDonald’s drive thru and being told to park up and wait. Ffs I may as well have just gone in? What’s the point of a DRIVE-THRU if you have to go and stop your car.

This, especially when you've already waited aaaaaages to get the front.

I know when it moves quickly that everyone is being told to park up.

Petrol stations without pay at pump.

I once got stuck behind a guy with 2 whiny toddlers needing their nap for AGES and he finally came out holding a coffee.

How about getting soap in your hands and then the water won't come out for love nor money?

Or where I live and we have loads of new 20 mph roads...loads...signs up and 20 painted on the road....forever having cars zoom up behind me, overtaking and driving like idiots and assuming I'm an idiot for sticking to the (v annoying and ridiculous in some places) new speed limit

I was driving along a main road at 80 km this morning. I approached a minor road and a car was waiting to join my road. As I approached, the driver pulled out in front of me, causing me to brake. It was early in the morning and there were no cars behind me. If the driver had waited another few seconds, s/he would have had a clear road.

My rubbish bin has little holes around the side, near the bottom. Why? When I'm washing the bin, water spills out of the holes when I empty the water out of it. Every time I wash out my bin, I think murderous thoughts about the bin designer.

People who chew loudly, slurp when they eat or talk with their mouth full.

Snoring

Those that stopat a set of traffic lights about 2 car lengths behind the person in front so you stop at a reasonable distance behind them. They then decide to creep forward so you can either stay where you are and look like the knob that's pulled up 2 car lengths behind or go to the trouble of pulling forward and then stop again

Mine is the next door neighbours playing really loud music on a lovely summer's evening when I'd just like to sit quietly in my own garden reading a book. Sometimes they sing along (badly) which makes it even worse! They are a perfectly nice family in every other way.

It would just never occur to me to inflict my musical taste on everyone else at that sort of volume.

When people don't have their cards ready at tills!

Shopping malls. I never go, but had to yesterday.

Everyone walking like zombies in huge groups blocking the entire walkway. Just loads of them in rows walking as fast as a snail.

Those little bottles of shower soap and shampoo in hotels that are identical except for 'shower' or 'shampoo' in tiny, tiny writing that I can't read without my glasses. AND the tops are usually completely smooth so your wet hands just slide round when you try to open them.
