Really minor annoyances


People who make Spotify play lists called "<band> MTV live & unplugged <year> the complete session" then find that none of that event is actually on spotify, so build the playlist from studio recorded & processed not-unplugged album tracks, and then think they may as well throw in some of their favourite tracks that were never featured in that session either. Then they leave the name as it is rather than calling it "my favourite <band> tracks".
 
I added a song that took ages to find into my playlist on Spotify and it just dropped out and I can't remember what it's called. Why did it just disappear?
 
There isn’t a ‘really f***ing irritating thread’ so…

In tv dramas when they flash the screen from a mobile phone in somebody’s shaky hand for a nano-second, and the viewer is supposed to somehow read a text thread that’s hugely important to the plot. Every time.
 
Another one for the missing f***ing irritating thread that I’ll have to put here

When, presumably after a book, and/or screenplay and a script is written for a telly series … but is apparently irrelevant because you can’t hear or understand about 60% (or more) of what’s being said because the actors are mumbling, whispering or not moving their lips (all presumably in an effort to be ‘authentic’) and/or the ‘background’ ‘music’ is at an equal or louder volume than the dialogue (presumably to add ‘tension’). What’s the f***ing point?
 
Sitting in the garden the other night, I heard my new neighbour say to my other neighbour, "if i was you , i would....." about 4 or 5 times. They couldnt see me but that phrase is up there with "i`m not being funny but......" in my eyes

Mag couple over the back from us. They're decent enough as long as you don't talk about football. He's a quiet sort, but the wife has a mouth on her. She's clearly insecure about her upbringing (Wallsend, council estate) because everything we do with the house (had 2 gardens landscaped, bathroom renovation) she tells us "yeah, we were going to do the same but...[insert ridiculous excuse here]...and so blah blah blah"

Mrs VM socialises with her on occasion and when I gave them a lift the other week she admired my new car and gave it the "yeah, we looked at this one too, but decided to go with a Kuga"
Course you did love. You thought about buying a car 3 times the price of the one you ended up buying?
Any holiday we mention, she's done it before or is "planning to when the boys are older".
The dictionary definition of Elevenerife..

Personally I couldn't care less if someone drives a Porsche or a B reg mini. I don't care if you grew up on a council estate, or Downton Abbey. Nor do I care whether my house is bigger than your house. Just be happy with what you have and don't try and keep up with Joneses.

People who insert a humblebrag so subtle that you almost miss it.

How is your £95,325 car?

Dune was terrible for that. In the end my wife put subtitles on. They were annoying me so I left it. Tried again but was constantly pushing the volume up and down. Didn't make it to the end.

i used to have a b reg mini. it was both one of the best and worst cars i've owned. a random annoyance it had was an erratic starter motor so had to push it then jump in on the move to bump start it. luckily we live on a bit of a slope.
 
Remember you put the hoover at the top of the stairs to take down in the morning before you go to work. Don't knock it over and wake everyone up.

I may as well have thrown the contents of my tupperware cupboard onto a xylophone.
 
People who schedule interviews with me at 9am. Either they fail to attend, or they have no social skills. The job needs social skills so it's a lose/lose.
