Most annoying minor thing to happen to you recently

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 Hmm 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 Angry
So it's a loss all round for me.

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

Hope that you told her to fuck off! Judgemental mare.

Yes this. I'd have said "oh I didn't know there was a blue badge inspection police force now, Can I see your ID please" and moved on.

The thing that annoys me at the moment is people who park on pavements, especially when they drive on or off them as I am walking along them!

trying not to derail the thread seeing that I misinterpreted the word ‘minor’ in the OP.

I asked her if she wanted to see the reverse of my badge (with the photo) and if she also wanted my full medical history (I had no intention of showing her either).

The whole encounter of that morning is threadworthy, sadly. Even worse is that these encounters aren’t uncommon to me.

I’m not even sure how I should present myself as a disabled woman these days, make up + wheelchair = perfectly able to some people sigh
