Really minor annoyances

Every time I’m decorating and the dragon comes in and points at a section I havnt done yet event hough working round that way and says (that bit needs done). I could divorce her on the spot.

Mine has a knack of asking when I’ll be finished about thirty seconds before I’m finished.

Murder man arnt they. Gona new fridge freezer yesterday. Wasn’t level so I picked it up and said turn the legs so they go down. Turned round and the fucker was In the garden putting something in the bin. I despair at times I really do.
 
People who talk about supermarkets in plural. I go to Tesco not Tescos, Asda, I don't, not Asdas Lidl not Lidls etc. People are fuckwits and unless they can say the name of their local supermarket shouldn't be allowed in.

Sainsbury's and Morrisons are fine. Maybe Even Marks and Spencers

Aldis and Tescos can fuck right off
 
My car beeping at me because I’ve opened the driver side car door while the engine is running. Yes, I know. I need to pop back into the house for something.
It’s an obvious alarm.

Ive somehow managed to set an alarm on my car so it beeps every time I hit 10mph. Just one beep so not recurring but I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Unnecessary beeps is a good call. Not just on cars. But everything.

Most infuriating is my dishwasher. Now I'm not against a beep to tell me it's done. But it plays a little bloody tune.

The TV beep when you turn it on or off

And the car beeps whenever it bloody likes.

My microwave beeps for an unnecessary amount of time. I think it can also be beard from the village half a mile away.
 
My wife will answer any question apart from the one I asked. “What are we having for tea?” “Well I’ve got sausages out for the bairns…” “What time do you want to leave?” “Well we need to be there by 5, I want to wash my hair first…” JUST GIVE ME A DIRECT f***ing ANSWER MAN! I wanted a piece of information not a chat!

Mine is the expert in asking you to do something in the most roundabout way possible...
Like kids pick ups from clubs and the like.....Eeee I'm knackered.....do you want me to pick the bairn up?.....no its OK......are you sure?...errr, no its OK.......Are you really sure?....If you don't mind and I'm tired......
 
Why do they deliver charity bags so early in the morning? They always arrive between 6-7am here but it makes me jump hearing the letterbox rattle when I'm in bed.

Do you ever plan to make an early start, then get loads of requests, can you do this, can you do that, stuff like giving one of the kids a lift somewhere because you are off work (to decorate/garden/diy), then ‘I have invited my mum around this afternoon’ etc. Then at the end of the day ‘oh, you haven’t got much done’.

One that sticks in my mind is going into the living room with my bike helmet and a pair of shorts on, saying I’m just nipping up to Tesco, does she want anything. My daughter was little at the time “you could pick her up from her dance class”. I looked puzzled, “oh did she go on her bike?”, no you will have to take the car. Well I was going to cycle, I thought dancing was the opposite direction. Yes it is, could you drop her back here before you go to Tesco because I want to give her an early tea, but not for another 25 minutes.

So you have changed where I’m going and how I’m getting there and when I’m going - no, I needed to go to Tesco. “Well why offer to help if you have no intention to?”

Absolutely this. Been trying to mend some coping on the drive for ages but I need 2 clear hours to do it during daylight hours. I can't remember the last time I had 2 spare hours for anything.

The absolute worst part of decorating or any DIY for that matter.

Wife comes and utters the words, 'you know what you should have done?'
