Really minor annoyances

People in the office who sneeze about ten times in a row. I know it’s beyond your control and everything but fuck man! I’m a placid person but its one of those things that makes me want to shout ‘just fuck off man’ 😂

When my Mrs (no) sneezes, she sneezes maybe 10 times......gets me irrationally angry.
 
Years and years ago, when it was all fields around here, when people would post a mention of their wife, girlfriend, mother, daughter… whatever, other posters would reply with “pics?” That was a minor annoyance.

Then if anybody mentioned a female of their acquaintance, they insert “(no)” to circumvent this apparent reflex response to any mention of womanhood.

Now, when absolutely nobody posts ‘pics’ after the mention of a female (until, predictably, immediately after this post) it’s an annoyance when people continue to insert “(no)” after and mention of a girl/woman.

Going to re-fill the motor,
To be met at the counter where a few people in front have done their weekly shop and now want to scroll through scratch cards.

Sorry to hear your story but I hope you get where I was coming from.

My intention was not to offend or remind anyone of a tragic occurrence.

I’ve just been surfing around the politics forum and some threads on current events and it’s a minor annoyance when people, who are apparently engaged in conversations about these things, can’t spell ‘Israel’

Involuntary response triggered by the brain being starved off attention/stimulus

Ahhhhh-choooooooo-----look-at-me-now-everyone-say-bless-you

If the bless you doesn't happen and from enough people, the brain triggers repeat sneezing until the attention-receptors are calmed

Some people have developed comedy overloud sneezing mechanisms to enhance the response from others

Hay-fever my arse

When filling the kettle, the device which holds the filter over the spout gets in the way and consequently, water sprays everywhere on the bench.

The way kettles have a cup guide on the side, so you can put the right amount of water in, only they are some sort of pixie cup and the whole scale is of no use to anyone. But all kettle manufacturers have agreed on it.
