Really minor annoyances

Women. Specifically groups of women who, when in a group, speak in tones just shy of the pitch only dogs can hear. See also: groups of women who order individually at the bar when in groups.

This elevates above "minor annoyance" if you've just dropped in for a quick pint especially if they start asking questions

"What different flavour gins have you got?" 🤬

The same applies for hot drinks. You have all the combinations of coffee in an order, not one drink the same. Stand for half an hour while the person grinds beans, froths milk (different type of milk each obviously). Finally your turn, order a cup of tea, 12 seconds later they are charging you the same as a triple frothed skinny latte with syrup and sprinkles.FFS, no effort, it should just be 50p.

Worse still when it is a pub that does coffees to try and compete with Nero and the like. You are sober again before every steam and grind combination has been exhausted.

I actually feel your anger right now.
 
The cling film box being made of such crappy cardboard these days that it completely collapses when you’ve only used half the roll. You can’t bin it off cos you need the flap with the serrated edge so every time you use it you’ve got to carefully reposition the whole thing and swipe quickly to get a clean cut otherwise everything spills out on the floor and you now have a piece of cling film the size of a postage stamp in your hand while the rest has wound itself back around the roll and made the ends invisible.

Similarly - Sellotape that snaps right back into position before you`ve been able to turn the end over and then the end completely disappears and cannot be traced no matter how much you scrat around trying to get just a little bit to stick up so you can pull it and actually use the blasted thing to wrap a present. Think I`ll just use Blu Tac next time.

I’ve been tempted to wrap presents in aluminium foil in the past. Well, it’s shiny and you can fold it over. Tie a ribbon around it - bobs yer uncle.

I even googled different coloured tin foil. But its expensive iirc.

Get a desktop dispenser (or ‘borrow’ one from work). It’ll change your life.
