Really minor annoyances


People who use the phrase “rinse and repeat” instead of just saying repeat.

I get it- you read it on a shampoo bottle 20 years ago but so what?

Same as people who say they are “confused.com” instead of just saying confused.
 
Older people who have fading eyesight (that’s okay), who then increase the size of the font in word, excel and outlook rather than adjust zoom or settings in appearance.

The plethora of otherwise reasonably entertaining antiques dealing shows on tv that feature ‘eccentric’ antique ‘experts’, who always seem to lose money and dress up like utter arseholes.

They all seem desperate to have some sort of ‘shtick’

Buying retail and trying to make money selling wholesale, drives me mad
 
After a really busy week, I was enjoying quietly lounging on my sofa with a proper coffee. Some workmen have turned up next door and are drilling and cutting bricks and have a radio going at full volume ☹️
 
I’ve found a new one that happened to me today.

People that try and open a toilet door in a public toilet area like Asda, find outs it locked, then knock.
First off, it’s locked, someone is either in there trying to shit or it’s locked and nobody is in. Either way knocking isn’t going to change anything.
Secondly, what the hell are you expecting the person to say?

My example today was a place with 5 other stalls. It also had the top and bottom exposed, so they knew someone was in there.
I just ignored the knocking and put on TikTok so they could hear I clearly ignored them

Every article online is about seven paragraphs of stalling before it gets to the point of the headline, as a cheap way of keeping you on the page.

Should be a thing you can tick in chrome where you give a blanket 'minimum required'.

Pig sick of accepting them every time for certain sites.

I decreasingly click on links to stories that suggest that somebody has done something outrageously offensive on the telly (for example) and that ‘everybody is saying the same thing’ about it, or there’s ’debate raging’ or it’s ’sparked comment’ or that ‘audiences shocked’. Then I read 12 paragraphs of introductory text to discover that Alison Hammond had hiccups while she was interviewing somebody from Love Island or something. There’s a video. But it isn’t one of her having hiccups and there are two, 3 minute adverts before you can skip to something… which has nothing to do with the story or the headline.

Although I used the term ‘decreasingly click on’, I confess that, during occasional moments of boredom, I still do this, and I’ve become so accustomed to it that the annoyance has been decreasingly minor too. I’ve become immune to a world of utter meaninglessness.
