Really minor annoyances

I had one from christmas....Mrs 73 (no)....kept putting christmas hats on the corner of the telly and totally obscuring footy scores...I kept removing them, then up they'd go again...
We have something similar - Mrs VM puts some sort of garland with fairy lights over the Tv unit that obscures the bottom 2-3 inches of the screen.
Apparently I am a "miserable " for even bringing up the obvious issue
 

People who type the comma into numbers if more than a thousand in a spreadsheet so they don't calculate properly, and I have to sift through lines and lines of data to find the source of their fuckery
 
Now I used to be a bit of a grammar policeman on this forum, but through time I gave it up as a bad job.
I still find it annoying when reading posts that don’t read correctly due to some grammatical error, or a spelling mistake, again I’ve learned to live with it, but the one bad practice that is in danger of becoming universally accepted as correct/normal is the misuse of your and you’re.
It boils my blood.
Literally?
 
people who gan to cash machines and put multiple cards in.. one place in the queue equals one card.. if you need to try multiple cards rejoin the back of the queue, please. Enough now.
 
The 15 minute early morning ritual of trying to find the TV remote controls that seem to be permanently missing/under the chair/down the back of the settee - anywhere but next to the telly where they should be after it`s switched off so making it easy to switch on again the next morning.
 
The local Aldi constantly running out of their Coffee Stout

Love that stuff

My annoyance is deciding to treat myself to some fancy ale in a colourful can; which is quite expensive, so expect it to be decent, only to find I've wasted £2+ on something that tastes of cat piss.

Oddly specific delivery times.

I had a parcel from Royal Mail due yesterday and originally it was something like due 10:27 to 12:32.

Then I got another mail to say it was not an early afternoon slot with similarly specific numbers. Then a late afternoon slot. Then early evening, then late evening. Then I got a mail to say they tried and nobody was home. We ere, they lied. Then I had to be the one to rearrange delivery.

Why not just say they will try Wednesday, sorry we failed we will try again tomorrow.

Double annoying points because a Royal Mail fan did come with a parcel for my daughter.
