Really minor annoyances

Those taps in toilets that you have to press to get a flow of water, then as soon as you stop pressing the flow stops, how the hell are you meant to wash your hands?

But they are still 10 times better than all these electric sensor taps now.

I do remember when most places were push taps and some did that, but generally you would manage. Now it feels like half the time when I go to a public toilet, either the first tap or the first soap dispenser I try doesn't work and I have to move to another sink. Some of these are service stations that were just refurbed a couple of years ago. Tech added where it was not needed, it fails and now people have higher maintenance costs than just calling a plumber to adjust a spring in a press-tap.
 
Quiz show Time is Money. Woman just yelling out the questions and half the battle is working out what she said.

She's from Durham so god help anyone not from the North working out her shrill bellowing.

When the refuse collectors return my wheely bins to the pavement, they spin them so the handles face away from where I need them, whereas when i put them out, I arrange them so the handles are accessible and facing outward.

Doesn't it actually hook up to the wagon from the other side? If so, they probs think you're doing it deliberately...

Doing what deliberately? Putting my bin out with handles positioned so they can hold them as they wheel the bin to the wagon?

You’re absolutely right. I’m doing it deliberately.

No, they need to have the none hinged side facing the wagon, not the way you put it out.

You might be right mind, I've no idea...

So they have to spin it around to grasp the handles to wheel it to the wagon, then spin it around to attach it to the loader. Then.. oh forget it
 
Putting a jumper on over your head and it's always the wrong way round.....ah, it's law of averages I hear you say.....well, because I'm a geek I've done a 7 day test...

Every morning I've put on my t-shirt or jumper without looking and the feckers were the wrong way round 5/7 times. Bastards.

Single gloves everywhere and guaranteed they are all for the same hand... Bastards.
 
when they wheel those flamethrowers on the pitch before the game, the biggest one on the half way line always leaves ruts in the pitch. they put a piece of mat down to protect the grass then wheel it off that and over the pitch. boils my piss every time they do it.
 
This tickly cough in the back of my throat that will not go away. Been on and off since the start of the year.
