Really minor annoyances


Putting your t-shirt or jumper on the wrong way around, 9/10 times it's back to bastard front.

Taking your wellies off and your feet come out without socks on.

I think I might have done this maybe once or twice in my life, almost certainly when I was a child.
Scheduling events with Americans who don't understand what time it is in other countries

The inability to understand that the 24hr clock isn't 'military time'.

"Oh wow were you in the military?" :lol:

Im going out on a limb to say that older people seem to be most often confused with the 24 hour clock. The limb is one attached to the tree of me constantly whinging and complaining on her about stereotyping the old …and cuz I’ll old myself.

In other news: I often use the nato phonetic alphabet to give my postcode. Usually if I’m on the phone or I think I’m probably gonna have to repeat myself because of my accent or whatever.

I’ve given up doing it with the ladies in my local charity shop (for gift aid purposes). By the time they’ve figured out how to use the computer again and their brain has calculated that Yankee starts with a ā€˜Y’ and Foxtrot starts with an ā€œFā€, I might as well chill and just repeat each letter over and over till they get it (ā€œNo. That’s F for err Fred… not S for sugar…. No R as in Rabbit no O as in orange…). It passes the time
