Stupid things that still annoy you years later

14 years ago I did jury service. The second trial I was picked for was over 2 weeks and as I'd already had a week on the first trial I was already fed up. The second trial was obviously a big investigation by the police, customs etc. It had a actual name operation something. We all had bound evidence of photos, emails, there was cctv, texts and telephone records. It was insane how obviously guilty the defendants were! Their barristers didn't even bother giving a defence. Then came the jury room deliberation, we'd been instructed by the judge that it had to be a unanimous vote. So imagine our surprise when 1 jury member didn't vote guilty. I still remember his name, Jeff, what he was wearing that day, how he got told off for being late back from lunch! And how after 6 hours he realised that he had confused the people we were talking about on the cctv and oh actually yes the blokes are guilty! Fuck you Jeff! You owe me 6 hours of my life back you tool!

Paying a fortune for a big wedding I didn't want in an expensive venue. I did it to keep up appearances and I got zero enjoyment from it apart from listening to the lovely speeches. Annoyed I didn't listen to my instincts and got swept up in the charade.

A small gathering would have been fine, even better eloping

I was blamed for spreading gossip at work. Everyone sided with "victim", who announced in front of everyone she forgave me.

Except... I was the only one that hadn't been there that day. So the only person who could be "innocent". But no, everyone was adamant I had told them on that day...
