Really minor annoyances

Zoom/Skype calls where where people don’t point their laptop kids down so I can peeve at their massive hooters

The mrs says something like do you know Louise who cuts my hair? And I say not really, then proceeds to tell me her sisters daughter is in Barbados. Wow thanks for that, I think I should get a Facebook account so I can get more earth shattering news.

I do that. It'll be the second or third time I'm told about something totally irrelevant and get told "I've spoken to you twice already about this" to which my response is I didn't care then so I didn't bother listening.
 
Felt a little bit out of sorts this morning so went to Leon for a nice bacon muffin thing. They had no eggs so all they had was avocado and halloumi and I had 5 mins to my train. I'd just walked past birleys so that made me annoyed.
 
Parked up eating my dinner in my car yesterday with the window open as it was warm. Someone reversed up to my front bumper and then sat with his engine running so my car filled up with his exhaust fumes.

Just sit with your horn blaring. Soon move.

Also having a start date weeks in advance, you turn up on day one and not only have they not sorted you a desk space, they've forgotten to get you a laptop. Happens every time.

Happened at every one of the employers I’ve started at since leaving uni.

Employer bleats on about needing you to start asap so that you can get started on a project/task in all communications prior to officially starting, then you start and you have naff all bar your laptop with (if lucky) outlook on, absolutely nowt else and your mobile not ready.

Takes almost 2 weeks until you have everything you need to properly start.

They had me sitting at a desk watching iOS install itself onto a computer for the best part of a day. I had people coming up to me asking how my first day was going and I had to just say 'nothing's happened yet'. I had my own laptop with me but because it's corporate I wasn't allowed to use it so I spent all day on here.

I've been with the company a few months now and I still miss meetings and things because they still haven't remembered to add me to the invite list. I managed to swerve a trip to Peterborough the other day using that excuse though so it's not all bad.
 
Someone has thrown a stone at my house window which has shattered the glass and needs replacing. Unfortunately I don't know who the waste of oxygen is so ATM I cannot give it the same fate as the window. Worse still when I have made some enquiries there seems to be a multitude of candidates but hopefully I will get the culprit sooner or later.

Not minor. Major. The frequency of password resets. Every time I log into anything I need to change my password.

I needed to complete a DBS check this week. Needed to complete captcha at least 15 times.

The cap flipped shut when I was squeezing it and covered the inside and outside of the cap. Furious.

Try rinsing the cap. The inside is shaped to spray mayo water all over the kitchen worktop.
