What minor and unreasonable things have been irritating you lately?

[Bikergran]

Things that have unreasonably annoyed me recently.

Bought some knickers a few months ago. Can't remember where from. They're really comfy and quite pretty, so wanted to buy some more. All the manufacturer's info has washed off the label, so I don't know where to get more.

People starting to load their stuff on to the conveyor belt at the supermarket checkout BEFORE I'VE FINISHED UNLOADING!!!

Being charged almost £11 for a 250ml wine in a pretentious restaurant- out of a bottle that costs less than £8 in the supermarket (less if there's an offer on).

Salad garnish on a plate of fish and chips. Good grief.

So, what utterly minor thing has insensibly irritated you recently?

My Henry hoover hose keeps unscrewing which drives me up the wall.

I can't find a (certainly jackpot winning) lottery ticket and think I've put it through the wash.

I'm back to work tomorrow 😭

Nothing unreasonably. Very reasonably:

Rachel Reeves
My local Residents' Association Councillors.

People who pay music in the park. I know there isn’t a law against it but green spaces are supposed to be places of relaxation. I can’t read a book when there’s music on as I can’t concentrate. Why can’t people just be quiet? Why do people always have to have some kind of noise with them?

It's been reasonably sunny today but windy.

I had the back door open to let some fresh air into the house and so the dog could potter in and out at her leisure.

And all the paperwork I had attached by fridge magnets to the fridge has blown off and half of it has gone behind the freezer.

Very minor but very unreasonable of the weather. And I'm cross.

Husband and kids putting empty packets back in the fridge/cupboards instead of the bin.

Vogue Williams saying ‘cold’ on that Fairy advert.

People using the outer seat on busy trains for their bags. Just rude.

Dust 😅 I dust down the house and a few days later it appears again. I know it will, I know it's enivitable, I know I'll do it iver and over again, but god it annoys me. 😅🤣

People that don't go to work during the week deciding to cut the grass or jet wash at weekends so that people who do go to work during the week have to listen to the noise whilst having a lie in. Go away.

My husband coughing. I gave him the cold.

People who eat crisps loudly on the train
Ditto people who sniffle copiously

Overpaying for crappy restaurant food

Having to do an insane security/it questionnaire at work for a client. Mindless.

If you have a huge trolley load of stuff to unload, and someone starts loading their stuff behind yours before you’ve finished, there isn’t enough room! It’s so bloody irritating. I now say to people, can you please stop until I’ve finished? Or just passive aggressively push the divider, and their shopping, backwards so theirs falls off the end. Serves them right.

the divider is to separate people’s shopping but it doesn’t miraculously mean there’s enough space.

I caught the last five minutes of Bargain Hunt on Friday whilst waiting for the News at One and was unbelievably irritated by the behaviour of the red team who were screaming - literally screaming at the top of their voices because their items were doing well at auction. I think that it's because of how I was brought up that I have such a strong reaction to people screaming unless they are in pain or it's an emergency. There's no need to scream red team - just stop!

Companies putting artificial sweeteners in all soft drinks, so I can no longer have a nice drink while we are out and about. I had a tea with my meal deal today, as everything single cold drink had sweetener at the animal park we went to.

Just everything

Gangs of tourists crashing around, standing around like confused wildebeest, all crowding into the same train carriage, or blocking the pavements. Given that we all have smartphones, so no need to worry about getting lost, why oh why do they do this? What do they think will happen if they just went about in 1s and 2s like normal folk? They really annoy me

People using these phrases:

An Indian summer
Getting his end away 🤮
Across the pond

Because if they start loading their stuff while I still have most of my stuff in my trolley, they're not leaving me emough space, so I have physically had to shove their goods back to make space for mine. It's just rude.

@PrayForMyBum ah, got it. Yes, I can see how annoying that would be.

The thing with the supermarket dividers is to just let them carry on, you can then pass your shopping to the checkout assistant one thing at a time they won't be doing that again 😂

The plate i want to use for my dinner is in the dishwasher, so I have to make do with a bigger plate that doesn't quite fit on my desk in front of the keyboard.

I saw an interesting looking lentil pouch in the supermarket today, but it was spelled lentilz, so I couldn't buy it.

Dropping the squash bottle lid 3 times every single time I open it.
The fact I slept on my left arm all night last night, from which I've had pins and needles in my fingers all sodding day!
My husband is working late tonight, I can have anything I want to eat, as I'm only catering for myself. Do I know what I want?! No! Plus, everything I do think of takes the amount of effort I just haven't got at the moment!
I'm very irritated with myself today!

People who allow their kids to bring their own toys to softplays. Especially if they are similar toys to what the softplay has.

Loads of - thats my toy whinging
I say - no theyre for everyone, you can have a go after

Turns out it is their toy they brought with them. So tantrums from them cause my toddler has their toy. Tantrum from my toddler cause she doesnt understand why she cant play with it.

‘Only me’ types
