Really minor annoyances

Why does my wife wait I’m at the other end of the house, or in the kitchen with the hob extractor fan on, or upstairs with the radio on …before asking me to “merm fnerki mermfner”?

I must confess to reading that one ☝️ online - it resonated so much that I nicked it.

Boils my piss when someone comes to pay and they suddenly have no concept of money.Happens all the time in my supermarket or on buses,

You’ve queued to pay for goods/service, why is it an alien concept to be prepared for that.

The amount of people who get on buses then fumble looking for passes, change or a ticket is mental.

Especially women, who always seem to have to get through more chains and zips than when they bring the gonk out in Pulp Fiction.

Sometimes works for me, sometimes does not. I have had success dropping them in iced water, but then you have to prepare a bowl of iced water.

It always was the food for picnics.

I was thinking today when making them, out of all the sandwich flavours you see, you never see egg and tomato in prepacked sarnies. Is it just a north east thing, like when I made corned beef and potato pie? Nobody had ever heard of it.

A day out hiking somewhere, was always those two things and some chocolate cake.

“Please listen carefully to the following as our menu options have changed …”

Is there a single company on planet earth which doesn’t have this on their voice mail?

Why are they constantly changing their menu options? Why not just leave well enough alone?

Just once I’d like to hear “you don’t have to pay close attention to the following as our menu options haven’t changed since 1999”

But who ever remembers the original menu options in the first place to even realised that they`ve been changed???

Unless they pick them while they are still green and bung them on a windowsill to ripen in the sun??

At the start of the 1% club it takes 7 minutes of prime time broadcasting to explain how the quiz works.

EVERYONE KNOWS!

Just crack on with the questions man.

I raise your pedantry! On the windowsill is not in the sun, it's in the warm. UV doesn't penetrate glass...
