Really minor annoyances

Scratters on electric bikes,

They wirrr past me me and don’t really impact my life.

Yet I would quite enjoy seeing them squashed by a large lorry.

No idea why, I’ve never analysed it.

Nearly knocked one over the other day, just zipped across me. No chance of seeing him till it was too late.
 
Buses pulling into bus pull-ins but still sticking their backsides out into the road so blocking the said road while they count their bloody change.

Drivers who can’t turn right without cutting across the corner of a junction, requiring you to brake sharply before the junction. They do it even when they can see you approaching.

And then glare at you as if you`re in the wrong 😤

A minor annoyance for me is a lack of planning on the domestic front.

Our teenager is now choosing their own food and when to eat it, which is fair enough as they’re going to uni next year.

BUT the oven will be on for our main meal and then everyone thinks that I’m mad for suggesting that teenager could use the oven at the same time for their meal.

Thankfully I don’t pay for the leccy bill.

Cars at traffic lights that don`t pull away when the lights are on green but then pull away just as they are changing to red meaning that you`re stuck until they change again.

I get irritated at drivers who leave huge gaps at long lines of traffic. They’re probably thinking “nowts moving so I can just sit here. No harm in leaving a gap coz nobody’s going anywhere”. But half a mile or less of more behind them is somebody who can’t get out of a junction or around a roundabout or through a set of lights. If only there was a couple of extra car lengths for them to do that. And behind them is a line of other cars who are having similar difficulties. Meanwhile, some bugger down the road is listening to an old Round The Horne on radio 4 extra with his automatic stop-start engaged and 3 car lengths in front of him.

Forgetting to take a bag when you pop to the shop for a few bits, and buying just too much stuff to carry with your hands

Or going into the boot only to find it empty and all of the bags you keep in there are stashed down the side of the shelves in the porch. Apparently “taking empty shopping bags back out to the car” is something that only an adult male can do, so best shove them where nobody will notice. It goes on the same list as cleaning long hair out of the bathroom plug hole, because that is clearly the job of the only one without long hair.
