Really minor annoyances

I hate them. Often the paper jams and snaps off, then you can't get any more out. So frustrating sitting on the bog looking at the toilet paper that you can't access.

It’s why I carry a toffee hammer at all times. In case of emergency break glass. Sorted. Need to be careful not to get plastic shards in the netty roll though.
 

Cash points that dish out £50 notes and no shop will accept them.
Only way to get rid of them is in supermarket self service machines.
 
When you have about 10 forks and none of them match your 4 knives. The annoyance is exacerbated when you live with someone who takes cooked food to work everyday but knows nothing about it.

That really fucks me off. I get about saving water but that's ridiculous.

On similar note

Toilets where there's an indication outside the cubicle that shows if its occupied, and someone has pulled the door to, with the lock in the occupied display... so at first glance it looks like someone is in there
 
Needing a piss as soon as you get in the bath.

Every one asleep on a night flight apart from you.

Not being able to sleep, tossing and turning even though you are so tired, then the cat comes in, jumps on the bed and is snoring sound asleep within 30 seconds.

If we’re doing toilets, those toilets on the train where the button opens the door very very slowly.

I know they’re good for disabled people, which is important, but they need better solutions

Had this on a flight last week. Couldn't get past the bloke sat next to me to use the loo. Had to wake him up.

Was in the toilet about a minute, went and got a can of pop, back to my seat and the twat is fast asleep again. Woke him up again, and he was asleep before I'd put my seatbelt back on

Crew had to wake him up hours later for landing. Meanwhile I'd watched hours of "Young Sheldon"
Top it all off, his bastard cases were 2 of the first 5 that came off onto the belt

Or it won't lock so open it and it slowly goes back open the full way whilst your busting for a piss and have to wait for it to close again.

I'm always one of the ones looking for the last battered case whilst security are walking about wondering why. Total conspiracy.

I'm convinced that if you check in matching luggage, baggage handlers deliberately space them out on the belt.

It's just not conceivable to me that my families two bags, checked in within a minute of each other can shift around in the hold that much that one can be in the first 20 bags and the other in the last 20.
