Really minor annoyances


Buying something that requires a bit of a trek, only to see it listed the same price on your doorstep a week later.

Every. f***ing. Time.

We bought some gorgeous chocolate in Helsinki. It came in 5 squares, sorry but that is just bloody stupid, we try to bite the final square in half then squabble about the size of the bite.

Sorry but that's me. I will try harder.

Tapas restaurants that serve prawns or mussels in odd numbers. There’s been divorces over less than having more than your fair share of either.

Bargain Hunt. When the “expert” goes off to get the bonus buy and the contestants have to close their eyes.
WHY???

Biggest mystery to me in some episodes of bargain hunt is the phone in question half way through.

"We've got this antique toast rack, and what ever it fetches at auction, that will be today's cash prize"

Toast Rack sells for £420.

"The toast rack reached £420. But thats not enough so we're going to up thats to £2500, so get calling"

Why have the auction at all if you are going to change the prize amount anyway? Or why not find a lot that actually reaches nearly £2500? It would make sense if the item sold for £2410 and they chucked in an extra £90 to round it up. But an extra £2080 thats madness

Or people at gigs who never look at the stage and watch the whole thing through their phone. As if someone is going to play the whole thing back through crappy phone audio picking up more of the people around than the band.

Come to think of it, people who view their entire life through their phone.

I went to see The King Blues years and years ago, when they were just getting popular with the "mainstream", and me and my mates walked up to the front before they came on, to hear a voice behind us:

"Scuse me lads, no moshing round here, yeah? My missus has a broken foot"

Only to see a woman behind him in cast and on crutches.

We told them what they were doing was a bad idea, but no. We told them to move to the back for their own safety, but no, so we left them to it and went to the other side of the stage.

I bet they had a really miserable time because of their main character syndrome.
