Really minor annoyances

Insane and often mentioned that. Can only be learnt behaviour from their mams and aunts and nanas. Passed down through generations

How much is a single to death?

£2.50. It's always £2.50. £2.50 to go anywhere you want. Capped at £2.50. Every time you get on - £2.50. When you get on to come back it'll be £2.50

And still they do it in a bewildered fiddling raking around muddle

Drinks prices in some pubs.

Two medium glasses of wine - £18.

Nee wonder they are all closing.

Heavy smokers who say that pubs are closing because they are not allowed to stink the place out for all the non-smokers.

No, it is because you feel like you have just been mugged every time you go to the bar. £9.50 in my local last night for a pint and a lemonade. All the more galling that they don't keep their beer well and the pint was warm, flat and like all the beer there, not that great. I could have gone to Tesco and bought a bottled ale for £2, £1 for 2L of lemonade, stuck both in the fridge for an hour and had better beer for a third of the cost.

10 minutes walk from my house, one of the most expensive pubs in town, with the worst beer and slow service. Sometimes there is no sign of anyone at the bar. That counts as a major annoyance.

Or people who do that at train barriers. Stand shuffling forward in a queue for ages, get to the barrier that you could see a mile off, find phone in bag, remember how to unlock phone, find the app with the ticket, navigate until you get to the right screen, then spend ages trying to put the right part of the phone in the barcode scanner. Meanwhile everyone who needs to make a connecting train or get to work has to stand and wait while they fuck about.

I'm busy looking at ways to put the ticket barcode on my lockscreen so I can pull out my phone, not even bother unlocking and be through with maximum efficiency.

Women are murder for taking ages to do simple things. Check outs and cash points being prime examples.

Another minor issue are hoverers in the supermarket. I come around the corner and go towards something and someone gets there just before you. They park the trolley in front and then start umming and aarring over what to buy. Picking stuff up, putting it back down, hovering back and forth blocking 2 yards of aisle containing the exact stuff you want to be at.

I feel like saying, get the fuck out the way I only want one bastard thing you doddering, annoying git!

On the rare (very rare!) occasions I venture to any semblance of social interaction with wife's family the "Let's order a takeaway" vibe is the end of days.
