Really minor annoyances

They do get genuinely upset if they are ignored when they have done something good.
They think they have done something wrong.

Also the people who are glued to their phone not noticing their dog are likely the people who don't notice their dog doing a poo, so don't pick it up.

That is one reason why I don't like giving my mobile number out. It is not appropriate for sales and marketing people to call me out the blue when I'm at work.
 

In the big Tesco along the road from my house, with the massive car park that has lots of spaces, there’s a cash point just next to the main entrance, just past the pedestrian crossing from the car park.

There are double yellow lines and steel posts erected along the pavement in front of it.

It’s a minor annoyance that I have to be vigilant and watch out for pedestrians as a manoeuvre my car past the twats who park their car RIGHT IN FRONT OF the cashpoint because they are such utter entitled twats they can’t be arsed to walk the extra 10 - 12 steps from a legitimate parking space to withdraw their cash.

I have a small close family & friends.. (very small now).. my number is for those people, anyone else can leave a message if they want me.

Don't get me wrong, I will never give a number out to anyone who 'needs' my contact list..

I will always check through first, and I believe the same goes.

People who use an escalator then stop at the top. Where do they think everyone else is going to go when they’re standing there like a tit?

the same can be said for folk going into a football ground. it's as though once they get through the turnstile they've entered another dimension and come to a stop in amazement.

And walking into a supermarket. Through the doors then stop and look around in wonder.

Worse is when it is raining and they are leaving. You have a line of people with their trolley barricades standing open mouthed at the idea of water falling from the sky, not wanting to step out into this new unknown hell dimension.

Meanwhile I have walked across the car park in the rain, I'm getting wet, want to do some shopping and the door is completely blocked. On more than one occasion I have stood about a meter away from these statues, counted to 10 then finally said loudly, "do any of you fancy letting me in?". That tends to invoke a zombie grunt and a few shuffle sideways. Sometimes the bravest alphas in the group venture out into the rain, complete with shopping. After watching and finding out they did not melt, the rest slowly follow, only to be replaced by a new group a few minutes later.

Supermarkets, make people forget every concept from the outside world when you are encased within their walls.
 
I’ve just channel surf/clicked onto Britain’s Got Talent. Some lass is singing River Deep, Mountain High. And it went :

“When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say“

So, in their desperation to edit the song …in the way all ‘talent’ shows cater for very short attention spans so a song lasts for 90 seconds and they get to the high note as quickly as they can so the audience can clap and cheer in the middle of it… they cut a couple of lines of lyric out of the song.

And now the little girl had a rag doll that got stronger every day.

It’s a minor irritation.
