Really minor annoyances

[Snugster]

You arrive at a T junction and you are going to turn right. There is a car coming from your left, it is indicating to turn right into the bit you are on. You think about pulling out but decide to be a good driver and stay where you are to allow them to make their right turn.

They slowly arrive at the junction and then, at the last moment, flash you out.

Why not do it from way back if that is your intention!

(And yes I am fully aware of the Highway codes rules on flashing your headlights)

Or don't indicate until really late when you could have been out but you wait thinking they're going straight on.

The pronunciation of the word nougat.

Some pronounce nugget. Some say nougah.

I’m going to be honest, I think both sound wrong. I don’t know how it should sound, it’s a shit word

Part time lights at roundabout that stop me when there are no cars at all in sight.

I always wonder what part time traffic lights do the rest of their spare time

Calling corn on the cob sweetcorn

Sorry?

Sorry: when people refer to "corn on the cob" as "sweetcorn"

Buying raffle tickets. Why did people start selling "strips" of tickets rather than single tickets?

If they sell a strip of 5 as the smallest unit of tickets you can buy, and just put the other side of that strip into the pot, then those 5 tickets become equivalent to 1 ticket. There's absolutely no point in doing this.

The only difference is that you burn through your book of tickets 5 times faster.

yes that's what they did at one of the bairns footy dos but they also sold singles. Didn't make sense, so you might as well have bought 5 separate singles and have 5 chances of being picked out.

So people buying 4 single tickets have 4 times more chance to win than people buying a strip of 5???? lol

The door on the bogs at work is on a pneumatic thing. If you're choking for a shite it feels like an eternity for it to shut.

When the signal drops on a mobile phone and the other person's just keep saying hello hello can you hear me hello I'm here.

Stop speaking man. Even I was answering you wouldn't be able to hear me.

This. My mam doesn't seem to realise when I say 'Not sure if you can hear me but the signal's dropped out so I'll hang up and ring you back' and she's screaming as if I've fallen off a cliff isn't helpful.

I’ve learned recently that when an incompetent health professional says “I understand your frustration” it frustrates and annoys the fuck out of me.

I probably should post this in the parsnip ‘things you’ve only just learned’ thread because it’s not actually that minor an annoyance.
