Really minor annoyances


Having to have loyalty cards for all supermarkets these days, just to get the best prices (that’s not loyalty)

Said loyalty cards being an absolute pain to scan at the self service checkouts. Looking at you Tesco and Waitrose
My dad absolutely hates clubcards plus and coop cards Asda rewards etc.
He’s worked in management in supermarkets for 30 years and it annoys him no end, as he says, your paying a subscription to buy food a bit cheaper, whereas years ago the onus was on the supermarket to pass those savings onto the consumer.
I see his point, if a supermarket can afford to sell something for £3, instead of £4.50, why paywall the savings

I'll add to that, keyring loyalty card fobs that fall apart after 12 months and can't be read.
 
When athletes get photographed pretending to bite their medals, why just why?
It’s to prove it’s not made of chocolate, or that’s supposed to be the joke anyway.
Anyway I’ll have a go. People who decide to wait till they’re on the bus to pick up their phone and say “I’m just calling for a chat”. Fair enough answer a phone if you need to but don’t actively seek it out whilst on a bus.

In a similar vain, when my current wife says something banal and I reply "who cares" she then says she's just "making conversation".
Just don't.

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.
 
Zoom/skype/teams/ or home interviews on news etc, where people have their laptops lower down and you end up looking up their massive hooters. Lift your camera up to eye level FFS.
