Silly things than annoy you

[Nottodaythanku]

just a light hearted one..little things that annoy you.

I will go first…

going out for a meal with a friend tonight and still having to cook for kids before you go

your turn.😛

People who stand at opposite sides of the path letting their dogs greet each other, whilst having a chat. Where am I supposed to walk? In the bushes? On the road? Or shall I jump over the dogs and their leads?

Same people walk next to the kerb and have their dogs on an extendable lead taking up the whole path. I have nowhere to go except walk on the road. It's infuriating!

Our adult still-at-home kids never folding the bath towels after a shower (I've given up asking!) and leaving them in a damp crumpled heap on the towel rail.

I've come to the conclusion that it's up to them if they want to use towels that consequently very quickly go smelly and manky as they have no chance to dry.

The thought of rubbing them on my skin is definitely ughhh! so I use my own which I keep separately.

It's still annoying though.

Dh telling me he’s coming down with a cold. The next day I wake up feeling like death warmed up and he’s swanning around the house like he feels a million dollars. Bastard gave me it instead.

The cat pooing in litter tray just as I get comfy in bed.

Website: Please enter your e-mail address

Me: J

Website: THAT'S NOT A VAILD EMAIL ADDRESS!

Me: I know, crikey, it was only the first letter I'm not done yet!

DP ‘digging’ for butter. Grrrrrrr.

And people (usually men) walking two/three/four abreast and not moving out of the way to let others (me) pass so that we have to move into the road.

Geeky post incoming: 🤓

This is done on purpose, to try to make sure everyone reads the leaflet. Everyone thinks they open an end a random, but people are far worse at being random than they think. We all almost always hold and open the package the same way withouth reasling. Left handed people are far less likely to suffer this scourge!

(Now awaiting the post where you point out you're left handed and I feel very silly!)

Grr.. this happens to me pretty much 95% of the time - drives me mad. And I'm left handed 😂

Sorry @JauntyJinty

@Sparklesocks

If you open it the end that has the logo on it, be it a named brand or the local shop, and not the date end it should be the 'right' end and have no leaflet intended way. I open a LOT of medication boxes and this seems to be the trick.

I do what @longtompot does. Also, Once I've opened the right end of the packet of the many meds I take, I scribble along the top of the lid so when I start taking my morning meds I don't have to engage m tired brain to remember which end to open.. 🌹

And those who do the same as soon as they walk out of a shop!

How rude and snobby. People can't help the speech they were raised with and might not know. I didn't realise it was should have and not should of etc until I was at university for my masters as no one I spent them with had ever mentioned it.

If he's not in your vicinity, at 2mins take your desk phone off the hook so it appears the line is engaged whilst you tidy your desk and power down your laptop. Once it's 5pm turn off your cellphone/put your desk phone onto voicemail, grab your bag and coat and leg it! 🌹

@JauntyJinty

In a similar vein to the email thing. We have a postcode that is a single letter at the beginning. Websites frequently tell me that it's not a valid postcode. It is. It's mine!

at 2mins = 2mins to 5pm.

Ahh dammit, maybe I remember it the wrong way round and it's more likely to happen to left handers? Come to think of it I can't remember where I learnt it, I might just be repeating someone else's complete bollocks!

Use your words/use their words. Infuriating when people say this, I wouldn't even say that to an actual child!

"I seriously suggest... " My DH says this all the time, it drives me up the wall! I've asked him time and time again to stop saying it, especially when it's out of context!

When you've just done the monthly shop, packed the fridge like Tetris and then realise what you have decided you require is at the back! Or under a pile of stuff you have to remove first!

The myriad begging ads on TV, where nobody says thank you at the end. The amount being asked for these days is ridiculous too! And they can't even thank you?! No ta!

Trolls persisiting in commenting in threads. If you don't believe someone or think their post is stupid, then scroll on, nobody is forcing you to read it! If you're trying to look clever, it's not working, you look like a shit stirring twat!

Having to fill in a “how was our service today?” form after every commercial transaction you ever make and being harassed to do a flipping Trustpilot review.

Particularly when you have been on hold to a utility customer service call centre for the best part of an hour asking for some basic service which you are paying for and which they are obliged to provide.

And escalators!

I always say similar about Ebenezer Scrooge.
He changed his ways and became a reformed character and did so much good.
He shouldn't be forever tainted as being.. Like Scrooge 😂❤️

Incorrect grammar (and yes, I do know about pedants' corner), especially when my junior colleague writes 'please may you complete (x,y,z)' . I don't know! May I? Is there any reason why I shouldn't be permitted to do so? Or maybe what you actually mean is 'please will you' and you are asking me to do something?

OMG yes! those things take up so much space! As soon as I open the box or any medicine, I immediately dump them in the recycling bin!

Sorry to laugh! My hubby is like that!

So is our cat!

Me: ''Little baby, I've just cleaned out your littler tray so it's nice and clean for you during the night!''

Our cat: ''Thanks, I'll just go and do a huge stinking dump, won't bother covering it up then it will pong the house out all night!''

Mine’s pretty dark.

The fact that my absolute dickhead, gaslighting, mentally abusive, teen grooming fuckwit of an ex died and is no longer able to see me living my best life on social media.

I'm disabled and have to use a 4-wheeled seated Rollator and when on a pavement slowly plodding along and one or more younger fit people come towards me with no intention of trying to move over a bit and they expect ME to get myself and my Rollator into the road so they can get past! Then I have to stand there still waiting for them to decide how they should go around me!

I'm not saying they should go into the road, that wouldn't be right but I just wish they'd realize that while I was once young, I'm now disabled and can't move as fast and easily as they can!

Goodness. I haven't seen you around for years. Not since you had your back surgery. You were always so cheerful, funny and full of life. I am so sorry to hear this.

1. Government manifestos.
2. Ring pulls that break off the tin without opening it.
3. Toilet flushes (in other people's houses) that you have to operate like a Victorian street water pump to clear away the evidence.
