Really minor annoyances


Large leaflets folded up in tablet boxes. I get through two boxes a month of one medication, a box of something else, plus painkillers as and when I need them. I end up chucking all the leaflets in the recycling without looking at them as it's meds I've been on for a long time. They'd save loads of paper if they put a QR code on the box for people who want to read the leaflet or they could ask the pharmacist to print it out.
 
When stapling a landscape document to a portrait document, how the fuck do you align them and where do you staple?

You'd still open it the bastard wrong end.
 
New one for the floor. Why make shower gel that is too liquid. Half goes down the plughole when. You put it in your hand. The other half before it makes it to your skin.

Also who thought screw top toothpaste was a good idea.
 
This is probably not minor, but charities approaching you in the street

I give to charity (I find it a failure of the state, but that’s another rant), what sort of right do you have to approach me and then patronise me with a slightly sad smile when I tell you I’m busy?
"your hair looks great today, do you have a second to speak about insert charity" outside of cannon Street station. No mate. I planned my exit of work to coincide with the train that I'm on my way to get.
 
I know they’re just doing a job, but it does not encourage me to give to that charity. It probably puts me off
Charity advertising does it for me, any minor channel on sky is full of them. If I give to charity I want it to be spent on doing good not advertising.

While I’m on about them, there are too many, each one spending money on staff, it, accounts etc. There are 185,000 charities in the U.K., if we had 1 cancer charity, 1 kids charity etc I’m sure we could do more good.

Bayliss and Harding. You get a posh looking gift set at Christmas that looks similar to Molton Brown, but when you open it, it's cheap liquidy shite 😔

Or when they say things like "don't you want to help disabled children?" when you say no thanks.

Or knock on the door and claim everyone in your street has signed up apart from you.

It puts me off the charity too.

Normally by some young person who's never had a proper job or contributed anything of note to society, imploring me - someone who's worked and paid tax for the best part of thirty years - to do MY bit. Bite me, foetus.
 
People leaving bits of bog roll strewn around the floor in public toilets and wazz on the toilet seat. It's endemic. Wtf is wrong with people?
