Really minor annoyances


At the start of a programme it shows you what’s going to happen in that programme……WHY?
Horrendous, American-made documentaries are terrible for it, they'll sum up the entire story in 50 seconds before it starts.

By the same token, film trailers that show far too much.
Having a ‘shy bladder’ is a bit annoying in having to queue for the cubicle. Made worse these days for me by having an enlarged prostate.
It's terrible, must be a mental block because if I've had a couple of drinks it lowers my inhibitions and I can go anywhere.

Amazon said my delivery was 1 stop away, but he was over the other side of the village and stopped several times on his way to mine.

I was stalking him as I was about to take the dog out when I got the notification, so I waited until he'd been.
Amazon saying parcel delivered to agreed safe place which is thrown over fence and into big puddle. Oh I don’t have an agreed safe place.
My wife takes her shoes off one facing forward and one backwards. Gets on my tits.

Car adverts which portray the car as having black windows all round. The reason I have posted a photo of a newish Clio, is that the older Clio advert with 'Nicole' (wad) was the fact that the windows were clear, so you could see who was driving. Sad I know, but when an advert for a new car pops up on facey etc, I always write a reply asking if the black windscreen comes as standard.

Southeastern trains in general but particularly when they ramp the heating up. Had to stand up and get away from the heater. Could have boiled water in the thing.

When the evocative music plays at the end of a film/programme etc and the credits role over a frantic vista or scene upon which the director has chosen to leave us… and a continuity announcer with a midlands or a cockney accent or something comes on and tells us that tomorrow night is the final episode of Mrs Browns Boys or a re-run of classic Last of The Summer Wine or something. That’s annoying that is.
 
Multiple references today on radio and TV to the 'First snow of winter'. It's still autumn actually.

Or from the BBC website.....'Scotland has coldest early winter night since 1998'

Buying a sandwich that looks absolutely packed to the rafters with filling only to take a bite and there’s nothing beyond the outer layer.

You either have to squash it in with your finger or be prepared to eat several mouthfuls of dry bread while the filling drips out.

Most companies have got better. I remember years ago, Thats Life did a feature on it and got an employee of a sandwich making company in and they showed how they were trained to pile filling so it looked full and leave the rest of the bread empty.

The thing is, you find that most people who buy pre made sandwiches go to the same shop every day. My old work used to stock a rip off brand and a good brand. So I never bought the rip off ones. They stopped stocking them in the end,
