Really minor annoyances

Toast...comes out the toaster and you think could just do with a. Few more seconds..

Put it back in.. forget about it and the. Run over . Eject it and it can be saved just but past the point you wanted it.

Might I just convey my personal thanks for returning the thread to its intrinsic purpose of communicating slightly amusing utter bollocks. Much appreciated.

Sincerely.

I've started to put food out for the birds, and the naffing squirrel visits everyday and almost empties the bird feeder, or knocks it to the ground.

Pigeons come down and hoover up most of the seeds i put out for the smaller birds.

Walking football !! How is that even possible ? Should be called "Can't be arsed to run or break sweat football".

Personally I regularly engage in ‘walking without football’ which is my personal contribution to maintaining the core ethos of the beautiful game by not ruining the spectacle through personal engagement

Working in a supermarket there is a list as long as your arm. Though how minor it is to me I don't know. It might seem to others but not to me.

Ok. One Saturday night around just before closing we had a wifey who came in to self service with a massive trolley full of stuff. A huge pile of reduced George clothing and other shopping expected to put it all through and pay for it all within the timeframe of less than a few minutes to go before closing. The task would have taken me well into more like 10:20-10:30 pm territory before I could even think about leaving. She would have had presumably had all day to do it yet chose the 11th hour and the dying minutes of trading to do it. Not only did she not consider the trading hours she did not think about us. How much it would have delayed us from getting home.

Well, she did it again last Saturday night. A huge pile of various stuff well closer to £300. She had the Rewards App. The screen says I had to put a 6-didgit verification code in. But the number she says that was on screen was not hers. It was the colleagues who put her on it. She did not even know her own number so had to go into Contacts to remember it and change the number to it. And when we did we asked her for her email and she said she did not even have one! yet she said she would play hell with us!!!

So one of the biggest annoyances is difficult customers.

i used to pick my wife up after work at M&S. Closing time was 8.00 so I'd be parked out front at 7.50. Same night every week a Range Rover driving daughter rolls up 7.50 with her old mam who walks at 1mph.
She would get to the till bang on or after 8.00 with her odd bits of stuff and also want to exchange half a cabbage or something that " hadn't lasted " .Never got away till 8.15 and i had to bite my tongue to not straighted the daughter up every time .

Same settings , same bread , same toaster - but varying degrees of toastiness every morning.

I reckon someone at the leccy board with a big dial is altering the power supply just to piss me off.

The wife sets the alarm early most mornings and then does snooze 2or 3 times..

It's not the snooze.. it's the randomness

Alexa snooze for 6 minutes

Alexa snooze for 12 minutes

I feel your pain. My missus often sets multiple alarms when she goes through phases of saying she's going to have a "power day" and get up early (ie 5am or 6am or 6:30am etc etc) and start smashing out work, exercise, chores etc so she can be all smug and so on by the time I claw my way into consciousness at about 7:45. Then the idea gets abandoned but the alarms stay in place as they never wake her up anyway. So I have her alarms starting to sound off before the f***ing birds have even started, then the youngest's alarm chimes in, which also doesn't wake him up, at 7am. Often there might be four different alarms going off and the only fucker in the house they wake up is me and I don't have to be up till just before 8am as I work five mins down the road.

Even the cat sleeps through it all.
 
Bloke at work pulled out ten sheets of blue roll from the dispenser at work to dry his hands. The middle eight sheets probably absorbed nowt.

I remember seeing similar years ago, and being similarly annoyed, when someone pulled out a wad of paper towels from an incorrectly stacked dispenser, dried their habd on the outer two towels and then just dumped the lot in the bin.

Not just opening a new box of Weetabix. It happens every time I open the Weetabix no matter how careful I am - even when the box is empty those crubs still fly about everywhere as soon as the box is moved 😤

I’ve started putting the cereal bowl in the sink and opening the weetabix above it. Then I flush the crumbs away afterwards 🤣. What a faff on

Can't stand this or when when British people use American words when there's an English one. Used to work with a 19 year old lass who'd say Mom and candy

That annoys me.

To me, candy is that white crumbly chalky stuff we would eat loads of as kids but you eat it now and it is awful. Chocolate is not candy.

On websites, I hate the cookie options that don't have a reject all, and you have to scroll down a list of about 40-50 options unticking them all. Unless I'm 100% convinced I want to visit that site, I don't.
