Really minor annoyances

[Harry Gates]

Lights were £14.99, batteries were £9.90 for 20 energizers (could've got cheapos but thought I'd go for better ones and I'd still have 5 left for chrimbo or anything else that needs AAA batteries).
Oh well

Sorry to be a prick, but they'll be another £9.90 in a wee while.

yeah I know, those are the breaks my love

Amazon craftily sneaking out your yearly Prime subscription with no reminder, because they don't want you to consider cancelling or reject the price hike.

Be nice to have a heads up that almost a ton is coming off my card. We don't all have 'rent Venice out for a function' money.

If the smoke alarm is going to start beeping because it needs its battery replaced, it always does it after midnight instead of in the middle of the day

When you get to the phone just as it stops ringing

That's annoying

You then instantly ring back and it just rings out

That's infuriating

My mam does that all the time. How far did you manage to get away from the phone in less than 10 seconds with a knackered hip and knee?

The bloke that gans to a tennis match purely to smear Tommy K on his hotdog then chomp on it. Why? If you're not interested in tennis, eat your bait elsewhere...

When you try typing a search into AI and its so keen to answer it that it cuts the last letter off and questions your spelling.

Alternatively, kids that have their phones permanently glued to their hands yet never answer when you call them.

Shouting up stairs to your kids to tell them their tea is ready and getting no response because they have ear phones in then phoning them and still getting no response because they never....EVER...answer...their....phone...when...you...call....them

Our daughter, who lives in Spain, regularly ‘borrows’ our Netflix account.

So I often open Netflix, and can’t watch, because she’s on it watching something with her fella.

Except she’s not.

“Oh, I don’t understand” she says. “I downloaded something earlier, but I’m not on Netflix now. Maybe I haven’t logged off properly”

It happens so often, and she fails to logoff properly …every. single. time., that I just WhatsApp her “Netflix!”, anytime I want to watch an episode of anything.

It’s extra annoying that she could easily afford her own Netflix account but her mother thinks it’d be mean if I were to suggest it.

I've never liked shouting up the stairs, my mam used to really annoy me at different times of the day screaming my name up the stairs and expecting me to drop what I was doing, and come running down, only to find she wanted to tell me something absolutely trivial.

So I always go upstairs and tell my son I'm dishing up tea and it will be on the table in 3 minutes. He has normally been down twice while it was cooking and was told the same time it would be ready twice. Then we sit down to eat tea and he is nowhere to be seen. My wife refuses to start hers and thinks I'm mean by tucking into mine while it is still hot. Screw that, if he can not drag his arse away from his PC to eat his tea at the same time as everyone else, that is his business. We eat around the same time every day and he has been told 3 times, just minutes ago. His problem.

The current crop of top barterers that infest Antiques Roadshow! "Look, I'm on the telly, I'll be an arsehole"

"The very best I can do on that piece of tat marked at £65 is £30"

"What about £29?"

"No, f*ck off, I said £30!"

I wouldn't be very good at it...

It’s the same on bargain hunt mate.

Eat his as well, he'll learn.
People who get a couple of items for someone else at the supermarket and insist on separate payments with a bill .
If someone couldnt trust me over the price of some milk and a packet of hob nobs I'd be f**ked if i got them for them .
To be fair I'd probably be more likely to say " cant remember how much , on me "

I have been known to pay an entire restaurant bill and say “just give me the cash that you think is correct for what you ate, or buy me a pint sometime, or forget about it entirely; rather than listen to my brother-in-law go through the interminable ‘I didn’t have a starter…’ etc., etc., shite.

I got into trouble with the missus for embarrassing him.

Annoying isnt it , piffling amounts of money between friends and family

I hate the show ‘Pawn Stars’ - similar scenario plays out every time:

- What do we have here?
- It’s a civil war musket
- I’ll have to get my expert in
[Expert comes in]
- Yeah this is genuine they’re commonly worth about two grand
[Smug tubby baldy twat]
- I’ll give you fifty bucks!
