Really minor annoyances

Just seen another thread and it reminded me. People using "Ally Pally". I don't really like darts to begin with, and calling the venue that doesn't help. Sounds cringe as fuck
 

Our bloody washing machine.
Stick it on for a washing, 1 hour 37mins.

It does its thing and goes to 1 minute left.....why is that minute the longest one ever?
Plus then you're waiting for the door to unlock..painful.

When I moved in my last house it had bog standard Maytag top loader washer and front loader dryer. I was there ten years and left them when I moved out. Not a spot of bother.

Moved into my current house twelve years ago. Same lot was installed and still not a bit of bother. The washer selects hot or cold, whites, colours or delicates. The dryer just has a timer. Piece of piss. Wash cycle is 35 minutes.

When I come home if I’m staying with family and want to do a load I can’t get my head around how ridiculously complex they make washing machines. Rotate left. Pause. Rotate right. Pause. Water sloshes. Rotate left. Pause. Rotate right. Pause. Suds. Repeat ad infinitum. 90 minutes and it might be nearly done.

Back on topic - how impossible it is to remove clothes from the aforementioned front loading dryer without various items falling on the floor.
 
people who walk on those travelator thingies, like escalators but flat.
they're there so you don’t need to walk ffs. if you want to walk, just walk alongside it and keep it free for lazy bastards like me.
i suppose the same goes for those londoner types who run up and down them. it really amuses me when the doors shut on the tube and they get annoyed.

People who stand 2 abreast on those at airports annoy me. They go so f***ing slowly, at least stroll

Bloody hell - THIS - 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 😤 Every bloomin' time no matter how careful I am.
 
I always feel like my posts in here are major annoyances but maybe minor to others.

Anyway, this one is people who put their f***ing feet on seats on public transport and parents who allow their little darlings to stand on the seats with their filthy dog-shit-and-who-knows-what-else covered shoes on.
 
We have a cuboard in the kitchen where the pans are kept. All of the pans are different sizes so a normal person when putting stuff away would have biggest pan on the bottom, the smallest on the top and everything "just fits". Nice and tidy, best use of the space available........nobody else in my house thinks like this. Everythings just rammed in as quick as possible. Pisses me off tbh :)
 
McDonalds staff on the drive through now greeting you with
"Have you ordered on the app today?".

This really annoys me.
1. I only use McDonalds for a coffee when Im driving, maybe once a fortnight. There is no practical way for me to order on the app. Do they really expect me to pull into mcdonalds car park, load up the app, wait for it to update, choose my coffee, pay for it and then join the queue i would have to join anyway

2. Its impersonal. Not even a hello. Just "have you ordered on the app". Its also unnecessary. If I had ordered on the app, I would tell them surely? Theyd say "hello" and id say "ive ordered on the app"

3. I get why McDonalds want them doing this. If everyone orders on an app, you dont need a staff member taking an order. More specifically you dont need the staff member im talking to. So by advertising the app, the voice on the end of the loudspeaker is basically expediting his redundancy.

And dont start me on when I say "no i havent ordered on the app" and they say "thats fine"....
