Really minor annoyances

Why do they deliver charity bags so early in the morning? They always arrive between 6-7am here but it makes me jump hearing the letterbox rattle when I'm in bed.

Most of them aren't very charitable anyway. Check the small print and it will be something like "10% of profits to be donated to charity". So they keep 90%.

Unnecessary beeps is a good call. Not just on cars. But everything.

Most infuriating is my dishwasher. Now I'm not against a beep to tell me it's done. But it plays a little bloody tune.

The TV beep when you turn it on or off

And the car beeps whenever it bloody likes.

Smoke alarms are my personal favourite, just a tiny little beep every 30 seconds. Amazing how the battery always starts to run low at 1:30 am.

That beep at least has a purpose. Annoying as it is.

It's the unnecessary ones, like when you put your phone on charge, or turn on the TV that really annoy me.

I know, I never give to them like. I just use them as bin bags.

My washing machine used to beep loudly at the end of a cycle until you went and turned the beep off. That was irritating having to get up and turn the washer off when I'm in the middle of my tea or something and would have dealt with the washing when I'd finished. That sharp got turned off!

You’re in the queue at the bar thinking you’ve found a good spot and you’ll be served quick. But the fella in front has a never ending order 🤬

If you want to buy Tracked 48 postage on the Royal Mail website with a Post Office drop off, you have to book a collection from home to add it to your basket. Then when you get into the checkout, you can remove the collection and it lets you print a label to take it to the Post Office.

I’m by myself and only want a pint as well. Even as a barman it used to annoy me when people would order a Guinness last thing :lol:

I'm confused. Is this a minor annoyance or some sort of wheeze?

I sound like a proper old fart but kids aren't taught to respect adults any more. Proper spoiled shites now. Heaven help us when they're running the show in twenty year's time.

There's a house on the corner that always seems to have folk outside and the front door open at all hours. What's going on there?
