to ask what minor thing really grind your gears? (lighthearted)

[PeasAreGreat]

when people leave an empty loo roll on the holder!!!

pure hatred rushes over my body as I angrily go to the cupboard to retrieve a new one.

next?

People who don't indicate on a roundabout....why the fuck not????

When people whistle or hum in an otherwise quiet shop.

I don't WANT to hear you!

And...particularly in small charity shops...when I'm the only customer browsing or not...and the assistant comes along and fusses with the area I'm trying to look at! Just wait!

This hasn't happened anywhere other than charity shops...it has to be to do with training.

So many things, so many things. Loo roll is up there though....as is coffee granules in the sugar - use two spoons!!!!

Tea in a poxy little cup and saucer.

GIVE ME A MUG I CAN WRAP MY HANDS AROUND, FUCKERS.

Irrational, I know, but it gives me rage.

Failure to indicate andncyclists going through ref lights but I think they are major cos so dangerous. Minor? People who leave the inner foil lid on butter/spread/yoghurt/cottage cheese tubs. Filthy - they just collect old dried product. Yuck ! People who roll up open crisp/cereal packets (as if that stays shut) when you can just fold over and place fold down. People who put hat lids back winking so they aren’t actually shut. All minor but all amazingly annoying to me. Darling partner chief culprit.

Jar lids back wonkily - sorry. I will now add people who don’t preview posts full of auto correct nonsense.

We have a lovely Lumie alarm clock which wakes us up slowly in the mornings.

As soon as DH is fully awake and ready to get up, he turns the light right the way back down so that (a) I can't fucking see anything and (b) I want to go back to sleep.

FUCKER

People who don't gesture thanks with that tiny hand wave when you let them out, past, etc....

It takes a MILLISECOND to do that you prick!

Fanny flapping. Never said it before and new to mn but does that deserve a LTB?

DH doesn't close drawers. AARGH!

Jar lids back wonkily

Yes! Our sugar is always damp because of this [anger]

Bows on bras. Fucking things.

I've totally changed my mind on foil left on spread/yoghurt/etc pots, I'm all for it now as the metal turns out to be antibiotic and keeps the green mould away! I've even converted to wrapping cheese in foil, it's amazingly effective.

I've also stopped getting so irate about pointless things that are either easy to fix (packing the dishwasher 'right' :D) or impossible (having other drivers be aware of fucking anything else on the road). It's good for my blood pressure.

My main gear-grinder at the moment is that I'm losing proper nouns. I've always had a tendency to forget names and places, always been rubbish at those bits of trivia quizzes, but now it's become endemic. I'm pleased that the Alzheimer's support sites call it out as specifically not a sign of Alzheimers or dementia!

Disney characters on adult clothing.

Boils my piss.

Empty packets put back in cupboards.
Loud sniffers,blow your nose!
On my its the 'would of',this has been said before but I'm noticing more.
My auto correct,it is mad!

Oh spoonblender I didn’t know that ! Although don’t tend to have tubs around long enough for mould so I still prefer not to have old dried whatever dripping into fresh product whenever opened. Interesting - a life time prejudice having to be re-examined. Hmmm

People who breathe too loudly

People who phone you when a quick text would be perfectly adequate.

Actually, this doesn’t annoy me as much as it should because I simply don’t answer and wait for them to text anyway.

Not folding the towels correctly on the towel rack or in the hotpress.

My OH plonking the dirty dishes/cups on the work surface above the dishwasher. Seriously, just open the bloody thing and put them in!!!

Blackout blinds. I had to look up ‘hotpress’ Was imagining some
Industrial scale laundry room. An airing cupboard. What a great name for it! Love it. Agree re folding of things therein.

People that jump queues. Like the rest of us are just standing here/sitting in our cars for our health! Who do you think you are? The bloody Queen? Just get in line like the rest of us.

Sorry! Airing cupboard!

What on Earth is “fanny flapping”????

No I am now calling them hot press too. Really do love it. And have Irish forebears so should.
