Most annoying minor thing to happen to you recently

[mycatisannoying]

A woman bought something from me yesterday, through Facebook Marketplace. She messaged in advance to ask if cash would be ok, and I said a bank transfer would be far preferable, as I rarely carry cash these days. She saw the message and didn't reply, so I assumed that was ok.
She turned up to collect the item and only had cash on her I accepted the cash, thinking that I could use it to pay for something in town later.
In town, I discover that the cash has somehow fallen out my bag
So it's a loss all round for me.

What's a relatively trivial irritation you've had to put up with lately?

Agree with others that this isn't minor; I'm horrified on your behalf.

I get on really well with my ILs (we've holidayed together before happily) but if this happened when the whole point was restorative time alone I'd be cancelling and rebooking toute de suite.

A massive buzzy bluebottle flew through the window.

Child free weekend away with husband. (Who i only see at weekends as we currently live 4hrs apart)

Got my period. Also my outfit for the fancy dress ball tonight is all white.

Last Saturday I was in a cafe with my friend. Empty tables all round us, only a few people in there and some lanky bloke comes over to the next table and pulls out the chair directly behind me and sits down. Why??

There was acres of room and empty tables but ok, just squeeze yourself in with your chair touching mine!!

Space invading tit!!😡

Fish!

I really fancied a nice piece of battered fish.

I went to the chip shop and they had four pieces ready to go. One looked particularly nice and I said 'that one please'.

They refused to sell me that one as it has just been cooked and they needed to sell the older bits first, they then added otherwise they had to throw them away.

Having completed my food hygiene certificate I know they are only allowed to keep displayed cooked items for a maximum of two hours.

I told them I really didn't want the pieces of fish that had been sitting there for two hours, I asked for the fresh piece.

They wouldn't serve me! So I went next door and joined the queue for freshly cooked fish.

It really annoyed me. It's not the customers job to eat up their older food.

All my vegetable seedlings died this year. It must be the compost, I'm not that incompetent.

This happens to me all the time. I have no idea why people do it.

Same with gym equipment, whole row of treadmills available, nope you have to use the one right next to me and start a loud conversion on your phone

Oops, quote didn't appear!

I pulled into a parking spot in an empty car park. When I came back a car had parked next to me, but so close that I couldn't get the driver's door open. I had to climb over from the passengers side. They had the whole of the bloody car park that they could have left their car!

I booked the day off work to attend my son's sports day, then realised I had got the week wrong and couldn't get the actual day off.

Then it got rained off and rescheduled to my usual day off which was brilliant, but I'm having to now go to an important meeting on that day.

Well pissed off.

I was shopping in Tesco F&F the other day and saw a beautiful dress that was in the sale, only one left and my size. I didn't buy it because I couldn't really justify it, but couldn't stop thinking about it. Then my friend invited me to a get together in her garden for this weekend and thought I now had the perfect excuse to treat myself, so immediately went back to get it. I saw it on the end of the sale rack where I'd left it and was getting nearer and nearer... then a woman appeared from the other side, looked at it and put it in her trolley. I missed it by seconds. Gutted wasn't the word!

@WinterDeWinter 😀 I'm happy that you're happy!

You don't hear it much and i don't say it often tbh. I like to keep it for when i'm particularly pee'd off. (Londoner. My nan used to say it)(when she thought i was out of ear shot)

@QuestionableMouse £1.99 !! I've ordered it. Thank you 😽

My son was playing zip wire with my peg basket that hangs on the washing line and broke it.
Had to keeping bending down to pick my pegs up

Whilst I was writing this autocorrect was correcting pegs to legs! No idea why but annoying!!

*keep

My driving instructor dropped me off 1 minute too late to catch my train, and laughed and said ‘oh dear’ very breezily as we watched it pull away. I then had to sit and wait an hour on the platform in the heat for the next one.
(I had suggested we should get a move on, but he had assured me we would be there on time)

I've put some chicken in the oven for tea then rushed around doing jobs and taking work calls. Absolutely starving. Run to the kitchen when the timer is set on my phone went off to say chicken should be cooked. I'd forgot to switch the oven on.

Takeaway is on its way though yay

So sorry but that made me laugh!

Had it been me…. maybe not so amusing

I applied for a loan from my bank (HSBC) using my online banking, at the end of it I got a message that said "Something went wrong
We're aware of this issue and are looking into it. Please try again in a few minutes.". I tried in a few minutes and got the same message. Tried online chat - they couldn't help and told me I'd have to phone. Tried Twitter and they (after a long delay and asking for details, said the same). So I applied online via M&S - I got a better rate, immediate acceptance. Apparently, my Loan is via............HSBC.

Welcome! 😁

My stunningly beautiful fuschia cannot hold itself upright because of the weight of its glorious blooms.... wanders off to Google plant supports

Was in a queue in the market this morning at the fruit and veg stall, waiting to buy some cherries. Customer in front of me obviously knew the stall holder and was having a long and loud conversation about life in general, and no sense of urgency whatsoever. Waited patiently for about five minutes but getting more and more irritated. Eventually gave up and walked away 😮

And now we are being invaded by ants 😮

Tried a new type of bacon this morning. Rank. Mega salty, too salty to eat. So I wasted my time, frying it up, etc, loads of washing up etc.

Gah

My entire house appears to be founded on a gigantic ant colony. If they all died I expect the house would drop into a 50 metre deep sink hole.

I just went to the local shop to buy some ice cream for the kids with purse in hand. Got there and realised I'd thrown my bank card into my handbag last night when I was out rather than into my purse. The handbag I couldn't bothered bringing out and had literally just taken my purse out of. Had to drive home, retrieve said handbag, and drive back again
