Really minor annoyances

[Dark Traveller]

Hanging the washing out at 8am, and allotment owners are lighting fires!! It’s like they are communicating with smoking signals

 

[Snugster]

Bar staff automatically putting ice in drinks.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

People not putting up a hand or some sort of other acknowledgment when you’ve gave way to them if there’s summat blocking the road or whatever. Proper riles me that.

Followed a car for a number of miles yesterday and they had the rear wiper on at intermittent setting and it wasn't raining.

Fog lights in the rain. You've just made yourself and everyone else less visible

 

[Kevj]

People who over pronounce the G at the end of a word that ends in G.

Having to have loyalty cards for all supermarkets these days, just to get the best prices (that’s not loyalty)

Said loyalty cards being an absolute pain to scan at the self service checkouts. Looking at you Tesco and Waitrose

My dad absolutely hates clubcards plus and coop cards Asda rewards etc.
He’s worked in management in supermarkets for 30 years and it annoys him no end, as he says, your paying a subscription to buy food a bit cheaper, whereas years ago the onus was on the supermarket to pass those savings onto the consumer.
I see his point, if a supermarket can afford to sell something for £3, instead of £4.50, why paywall the savings

Think you’ve answered your own question there.

When athletes get photographed pretending to bite their medals, why just why?

OK, call me horrible but I always think it would be funny if someone bit a little hard and broke a tooth.

I'll add to that, keyring loyalty card fobs that fall apart after 12 months and can't be read.

I`m flipping fuming at the very thought

 

[Visiting owl]

Putting your shopping bags down to open your door.... they never lean against the wall but just fall over, every single time.

Theres a bank of 6 lifts in the office but there's never one on the bastard bottom floor.

It’s to prove it’s not made of chocolate, or that’s supposed to be the joke anyway.
Anyway I’ll have a go. People who decide to wait till they’re on the bus to pick up their phone and say “I’m just calling for a chat”. Fair enough answer a phone if you need to but don’t actively seek it out whilst on a bus.

In a similar vain, when my current wife says something banal and I reply "who cares" she then says she's just "making conversation".
Just don't.

The mrs says something like do you know Louise who cuts my hair? And I say not really, then proceeds to tell me her sisters daughter is in Barbados. Wow thanks for that, I think I should get a Facebook account so I can get more earth shattering news.

 

[its baltic]

Zoom/skype/teams/ or home interviews on news etc, where people have their laptops lower down and you end up looking up their massive hooters. Lift your camera up to eye level FFS.
