Really minor annoyances


Gobshites in supermarkets who have their trolley across the aisle While gassing to their mate who also has their trolley across the aisle. Usually at arms length
 
People that leave their car ticking over for 10 mins before driving off. Usually happens at night so the whole street can hear them.
My neighbours on both sides of me do that exact thing - even in Summer, so it's not like when I was a kid and people would do it in Winter to warm the old Allegro or Maxi up. The ones on my left have got a 15 year old Merc and they park at an angle so the exhaust basically points down our path. He asked once, "does this bother you..?" so I said yes it does, I like to breathe of a morning. Still does it, mind.

Logon or register to see this image
We were in Rome a fortnight back staying near the Vatican, and there was a lovely old building like that on the walk up to St Peters Square where they were renovating it and there was scaffolding all ower. They'd put the same sort of cloth thing over the front with an exact image of the finished building so it looked mint. No idea why they have adopted the same policy in Milan then stuck a bloody great advert on the front of it!
