Really minor annoyances


Evening Chronicle using other people's tragic deaths as click bait.

Ghoulish. Sick. Should be f***ing ashamed of themselves. Imagine that's your job. Imagine you thought that was ok.

Do that to anyone in my family and expect a visit.
 
When someone puts something in their recycling bin that you know can’t be recycled and will be left by the collectors. I guess I annoy myself cos I could easily take it out and stick it in my bin, but I can’t bring myself to do it.

The grey Audi on the A691 today travelling towards Durham.

Got to the roundabout by Broom House Farm and he went in the left hand lane to go towards Witton Gilbert. I went in the right hand lane to go straight over (as indicated by the sign and road markings). As I entered the roundabout, all of a sudden, he cut across and nearly hit my front end as he decided he wanted to go straight on, so I had to brake and let him in.

There was a slow moving lorry ahead of us. We got to the crawler lane up the hill just after the roundabout. The lorry pulled into the left lane to let the traffic past and the Audi stayed in the right lane. He just hung level with the back end of the lorry all the way up the hill, and then slotted back in behind the lorry when the crawler lane finished.

What a knobhead!
 
Kinda on topic. The guy who used to own this place has had an Amazon parcel delivered here. I contacted them and they told me they'd cancel the order and I could keep it. Now the guy is trying to get the parcel off me,

What would you say to him? Feel like a tramp keeping his stuff, but as far as I'm concerned he's trying to scam two items and I'm an innocent party.
 
People in (decent) restaurants nicking menus off other tables, just share with another one of your party or ask for another one off the waiter/waitress you utter scratter.

Annoys me more than it should for some reason. People just can’t cope not having everything there and then.
 
When you are in a card shop, irrespective of the size of the shop there is always someone trying to push into where you are with no understanding of personal space

Could be the biggest shop in the world with only two people in and guaranteed they want to look at the same cards as you at the same time
 
Recipies that start with “Preheat the oven to…”

Then they go on to say, do this, chill for 45 minutes, do something else then leave to rise for 2 hours etc. You don’t need to heat the oven 4 hours in advance.
 
The end of junctions or at entrances to roundabouts where your view is obstructed by either long weeds or, even worse, an advertising sign attached to a post that has clearly been placed there by someone. There’s one like this at the moment at the bottom of the sliproad off the 1231 near the Galleries where you turn right to head to the Galleries/Glebe or can turn left for Albany. Don’t know if it’s always been there and I’ve missed it, or if the wind has blown it around, but it’s current position attached to the no entry post massively hinders your view to look right and check for traffic.

There's a new electronic sign been installed near orpington. It switched from one advert to another as I was driving passed. Honestly I would have been less blind had I been hit by lightning. Absolutely ridiculous
 
Dog whisperers, with their mutinous hounds running amok while they shout his/her name or worse, blow a whistle. Black lab came bounding up to us today so I had to scoop up the rage monkey & sling him under my arm, looking like Spit the Dog. Lab jumps up towards the mini velociraptor so I ask nicely "Can you call your dog in please"
"He's only trying to say Hello!"
"Listen pet. If you've seen Mona Lisa with Bob Hoskins when he goes to see his ex after getting released from jail, has a scrap with the new boyfriend, then rants at the closed door "I only came to say 'Ello! F*cking 'Ello!" as he launches the wheely bin at the door, that's how my dog sez Hello!"

I actually only thought that last bit. I actually said "Sorry pet but mine's a little bastard & if your dog jumps up at him again he might lose some of his snout!"
 
People parking in adult and child parking spaces like at lidl and there missing something, oh aye a child grrrrrrrr
