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?

I cleared down all my cookies on my laptop to try to fix a google messenger problem, because I couldn't seem to target the specific cookie. Now I've lost all my wordle stats, the messenger problem still isn't fixed because it turns out it's not a cookie problem at all, and I've had a bad run on wordle ever since so my stats are now crap.

Thank you, just ordered one.

It's pretty hot today where I am down South. It seems I was stupid having my wine rack near a window , it must have raised the temperature of the wine which caused the cork to pop. I guess people in hot countries know better and keep their wine out of the sun 🍾Lesson learnt.

@mumsnet please add this to classics!!

I left the greenhouse door open. A pigeon flew in and knocked a lovely colourful plant pot off the shelf, breaking it. No apology. Fuming.

I washed my brand new gorgeous viscose dress in a washing machine which isn't mine and I'd never used before. It was a looong albeit cold wash and that's the only thing that's long now because my dress was below the knee and it's now above it. I never even got to wear it once! I'm so mad at myself I could murder the person who came up with viscose.

How small are you? I thought I was small but even I don't catch my sleeve on door handles.

The kitten knocked over the pint of slimfast that was sitting next to my computer - it went all down the back, dripped down the wall, all over the cables, all over the carpet. In fact it went bloody everywhere. It took me a week of scrubbing and taking the computer apart to get rid of it.

I moved too quickly turning to go up the stairs about 3 weeks ago and strained my knee. Still bloody hurts now, why can't I just take my time instead of rushing everywhere 🙄

The woman down a country track who shrieked and swore and gesticulated at me like a mad person because I didn't wave thank you immediately when she pulled into a passing bay so I could get past. It was my right of way, and I was too busy negotiating the road to wave.
Also being very rude to someone who has been rude does not cancel out the rude 😑

😆

My mum is in a massive strop, seriously she’s 71 and acting like a 13 year old girl. Worst thing is, she lives with us 🤦‍♀️ It doesn’t matter what I say to her, I get one or two word answers and hair flicks, it’s weird. This has been going on for 24 hours now and I wish she would just stop it.

Oh my days ! I was that woman yesterday .. but not to you .. as I know we are miles away from each other

I met a lady on a single track yesterday and without hesitation reversed back as I could see my lay side was nearer than hers
I pulled in and she came forward and then put her window down and said " I can't get through there , you'll have to go back further" No please , thank you or common sense that I was in the bloody hedge and could have got a bus through - I replied " you should be ok now " to her then screeching past 😂. So yes I admit - I did shout very loudly " you don't have to be so fucking rude" but I was talking more to myself and the hedge as she was long gone 🤭

On our 1930's interior doors the handles are higher than modern ones and I frequently march through them only to be held back by t-shirt sleeve caught on the handles

I wanted an expensive thing. I decided to be reasonable and not buy the expensive thing.

Dropped my toast butter side down on the cat's back.

I have covid and my grocery delivery was missing a few items. INCLUDING THE PARACETAMOL.

This happens to me quite a lot since I moved to a new place. The doors are narrower and the handles aren't round so I keep banging my arm. I'd never had this problem before but now I can't go a week without getting my arm hitting and get stuck in the handle.

Random woman in supermarket car park decided I didn’t look disabled enough for her and demanded to see the reverse of my clearly displayed blue badge to make sure it was issued to me 😳

Wheelyfembot Thats not a minor thing!

Ah! I didn’t read the word ‘minor’ in the OP

@Anonymouseposter If there isn't too much water in the machine, you can unscrew the top of the machine and reach inside to manually pop the door open. It's happened to me a couple of times. It was really easy, just google it.

Thanks MoreMoney I will try now and see what the damage is!

This made me snort with laughter 🤣

Yesterday managed to drop a bit of tikka massala sauce on a new top.

Today was eating last few cherries found lurking at back of fridge and stone shot out my mouth and dropped onto the front of yet another new top!!

I definitely need a bib when I eat anything!
