To want to know the pettiest things that annoys you.

[IseeNarcPeople]

Just for fun to take our minds off the huge, horrible stuff in our lives.
Me :
Tiny, tiny cloves of garlic
"Pull tab here"

The noise DH makes biting his nails and Susan bloody Callman.

You need fitted sheets that are labelled "extra deep", no problem then, I find.

My sil who says tirely sure instead of entirely sure!

"Alot." "Abit." "Home made" whatever on the what's for dinner threads. Virtue signalling.

This drives me up the wall! Some people park right by the supermarket entrance and go and do a big shop whilst shoppers with trolleys have to dodge the cars to get into the shop. There's always disabled bays available (there's probably about 30 in the car park) so surely that cannot be an argument for it.

Johnny Ball on Play School in the 70s, while telling the time on the clock, used to say 'says', rhyming with 'lays'. It used to fascinate me, until I grew old enough to realise it was a regional dialect.
I've always said 'sez'.

People that say 'lay' when it should be 'lie'.
Eg. " I just want to 'lay' down". Instead of " I just want to 'lie' down".
I always have to correct it in my head in order to carry on reading/listening.

My printer. Specifically the on "button"

It doesn't have a traditional button or switch, just a symbol you touch to turn it on. The problem is that is gives absolutely no feedback. No beeps, flashes, or movement. It just sits there apparently doing nothing.

After a few seconds, I start thinking maybe I didn't do it right, or it didn't recognise the touch. So I do it again.

Then it does nothing for a few more seconds, then turns on, and as I pressed it twice turns off again.

I realise I could wait longer but the touch is erratic and often doesn't work.

It's fucking awful design and there will be some wanker at HP thinking that they've done a good job, when what they've actually done is design the least useful switch known to man.

I hate printers

On FB...Only people with a high IQ can answer this question. It's a VERY easy question. In the comments is the answer from the thickest person you know who obviously now thinks they are super intelligent

The use of 'bring' when it should be 'take'.

Those new lids that are attached to coke bottles (to force people to recycle them). It’s so much harder to screw the top on now!

Lots of things mentioned already, of course.

How about this for weird and fussy? I get annoyed at public buildings (tend to be older, nicer ones) where they no longer let you use the original door as the entrance. So there'll be a nice portico or something and a grand entrance, and then it's all sealed up and you have to go round the side to a modern entrance. Yes, I know it's because of access for disabled people etc and of course it's necessary in the real world, but in my romantic fantasies I want to go through the posh portico with a flourish of trumpets.

Also public clocks that don't work. If you can't have them showing the right time, get rid - it's so annoying.

I think I win for being petty???

People who witter on and on I'm smiling on the outside and making appropriate noises but really I could take a sledgehammer to your head
People who at training days at the very end when asked has anyone any questions they have.Again sledgehammer .Lastly my partner who always leaves 2 or 3 sheets on toilet paper so he doesn't have to change the roll

I'd say the opposite - the ones who ding their bells furiously at you when there is plenty of room for them to get by.

On spelling ones - que when they mean queue. I wouldn't mind so much if they wrote quoo or quu, but where does que come from?

@MargaretThursday

I have that Samsung machine!

It obviously can't cope with Scottish ways of doing washing either. That last wee whistle drives me nuts.

The refuse collectors bin men making three separate trips down our little road in one morning to collect recycling/food waste/garden waste, and so blocking said road for a few minutes each time. There has to be a better way of doing it.

Autocorrect thinking it knows better than me what I want to say.

I have a buzzer door entry, and delivery drivers pressing it every two seconds. I always answer the door, but give me a chance to get there!

Since driving a car like this (mostly I drive big, old trucks) I’ve realised there’s no hope for driverless cars this century. Their idea of safe driving is bonkers 😂

Self service tills that keep saying 'Please take your items', again and again,when I AM taking the bloody items. I can't go any faster ffs!

Omg I hate these too. I encountered one for the first time a few weeks ago,couldn't understand at first why I couldn't get the damn lid to separate from the bottle. Then I couldn't get the lid to screw back on properly,took me about 8 attempts.

Mine is super petty. But when people mean to type ‘put’ but their finger slips and they type ‘out’. It happens loads and it really annoys me.

Also that wanky phrase, “tell me you don’t know about ### without telling me you don’t know about ###” or similar.

Just fuck off.

The person next to you on the tube chewing loudly and / or consuming stinky food.

It's rein it in, ffs, not 'reign' it in

People saying "a tad bit"! A bit is a tad and a tad is a bit!!!
People who say fought instead of thought!
What happened to our language?!

I have lots, but ‘your’ not ‘you’re’ has got to be the king, closely followed by ‘invites’ instead of ‘invitations’ and ‘10 year anniversary’ instead of ‘10th anniversary’. I’m powerless to comment on social media or I’d have no friends. God that felt good.
