Really minor annoyances

People picking stuff from the chiller/frozen sections then half way round deciding they don't want it and dumping it on an ambient shelf so it ends up getting chucked away annoys me more than it should. Proper wasteful scratter behaviour.

I was checking the dairy free fridge today and someone had dumped some dairy yoghurt in it 🤦‍♀️

Well that’s true. And I have before when something has been left a long way away from someone.

I’ll bellow at the builder drinking monster next time.

I was in an airport yesterday and the conveyor was full of cases from the previous flight. People were taking them off and just leaving them strewn around where you stand to collect. Bizarre behaviour.

When you slow down to try to give way to a driver when merging to your right, because they've only left half a car length of space, but they keep reactively slowing down every time you do to try and let them past.

And people flashing hazards visible from space to say thanks for letting them merge their tank in to the lane.

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.

The bairn has just been getting a brand new car - it’s sending her mad with its constant beeps and warnings, I’ve told her it might be just paranoid

If you want to buy Tracked 48 postage on the Royal Mail website with a Post Office drop off, you have to book a collection from home to add it to your basket. Then when you get into the checkout, you can remove the collection and it lets you print a label to take it to the Post Office.

Does my head in that too

What makes it worse is when they seem to force you down the collection route. After faffing about and giving in, they fail to turn up. I have had that a few days in a row before, where as it is a 5 minute cycle to the post office.

They don't have a fast drop off either. I started using the print at home labels so that you don't end up in the really long queue behind old people who block up post offices. But they make you queue with all of them, then they fill in a form and they weigh the package. They pretty much do everything except stick the label on for you, so what is the point?

If anything is going to suck the life out of you, it is a visit to the post office. It does give us hope though. When we are old, our eyes are failing, we are 20 years past retirement age, our mental abilities are failing and you can't do anything with speed or ease, we know there will always be gainful employment behind a post office counter.

I have found a better one in a Coop, which has a post office till next to their main till for simple stuff. Walk in, join the usually very short queue for shopping, they give the barcode a quick swipe and job done. I usually feel obliged to buy a packet of posh biscuits just to give them extra business.

My Morrisons local has a late counter for dropping stuff off etc but half the time they say they haven't got any trained staff for it

My royal mail delivery office has a counter.. shuts at 10am every morning

Using a post office while having a full time job has always been difficult.

Car tax moving to online was a god send. I can't tell you the amount of times I dedicated a 1 hour lunch break to go to a post office to renew the tax and went over the hour, without any time to eat either.

People who stand close by the belt so nobody else can get to their cases when they come around. Stand well back and everyone has easy quick access.
