Petty Annoyances

Is there something that annoys you that is so insignificant or petty, you annoy yourself for getting annoyed about it?

We're not talking mid level annoyances like people not obeying the highway code on the motorway, that's been done to death.

To give you an idea of the level we're aiming for here;

The black line in the lights around the totaliser thing on Pointless isn't at 50 points, and that bothers me.

Dropping a fork on the floor as you're about to eat. It's an onslaught of inconvenience in that you can't eat until you get a new one. You have to get up to get a new one. It's an extra thing to wash up that doesn't justify the washing up liquid used. It's so annoying

Oh my goodness how long have you got.

I started a whole thread the other day because I was thinking leaving s Facebook group because people kept describing themselves as X years young. I did leave it!

Also when people spell 'illusive' when they mean 'elusive'.

One more thing. People who stand at a pelican crossing and don't press the button.

Phew! That's better

I have three light switches in my living room, two of the switches are a double and switch on and off both living room lights, the one on its own is on the opposite side of the room and only switches on and off one living room light, I have banned everyone from using the single light switch because I can not abide the one switch being up and the other down on the double light switch, it makes me see red!

What a relief to read this! I thought that I was the only person like this and I have never admitted it before, I just switch the lights on and off until they are aligned again!

Is it bad that I've got four just from the Tube...

1. Don't stand on the left. It's really easy. There are signs EVERYWHERE.

2.Please also don't stop right at the end of the escalator to look for directions. Keep moving!

3. Move down the carriage.

4. Take your sunglasses off. You're underground. The sun is not blinding you.

And me. Although I manage to get over "discrete" by coming up with an interpretation where a single instance works. Similar to how "Hyberbole and a half" has a coping mechanism for 'alot'. Google that if you haven't seen it. It's a work of genius.

Now you see, for me , this is in the realms of serious grievance.

It’s bad enough when it’s kids but adults who can’t/ won’t, use cutlery properly need lining up and shooting, well maybe that’s a bit strong, but you get my drift.

Chorizo: It's pronounced "chor-ee-tho" ... not "chor-it-zo" Grrr!

Another one, I see on my local Fab updates is: "Studlands". In the 200+ years my family have been living there, it has NEVER had an 'S' on the end of it! Again, Grrr!

And, spelling, punctuation and grammar, for the exact reasons everyone has already stated! If you're unsure of something..Google it!

Ok, that's me done (for now) before I get riled up 🤣

Yes! The 'peel here' is there to help you but actually makes the job harder because now you've got to go and get some scissors.😡

In a similar vein, when the slices of meat are fanned so that the top slice is furthest away from the peel corner. If you only need a couple of slices you they have to peel the pack fully open.

"When the t.v. controls are out of my reach .......... it just IRKS me that some BASTARD used them and never put them back by ME in MY place......

Does it show I live alone ??? Do tell if it's noticeable.

I get similar in hotels. I get to the room, drop my bags and kick off my shoes. Sit on the bed ready to unwind by watching a bit of Tipping Point and then have to get back off the bed to retrieve the remote that's been left by the TV. Infuriating.

"Misuse of apostrophes, and saying "discrete" instead of "discreet".

Are you me?

And me. Although I manage to get over "discrete" by coming up with an interpretation where a single instance works. Similar to how "Hyberbole and a half" has a coping mechanism for 'alot'. Google that if you haven't seen it. It's a work of genius.

Typically the lid is abandoned and the bottle is put in the bin. Having the lid attached to the bottle means everything gets put in the bin

I have loads - i'm getting very miserable as I'm getting older...

But the best thing I've learnt recently is to just enjoy and laugh at the annoyances, rather than get frustrated.

If i'm a twat and miss my spoon of coffee in the morning - tipping it on my work surface rather than in my mug, I just laugh at how annoying ridiculous it was, rather than get frustrated.

Sounds stupid but it's made me a better person.

Whenever I open a new box of paracetamol or ibuprofen, I ALWAYS open it on the end where the advice leaflet is wrapped around the foil packets. Always!

Ahaha! I feel that.

That's petty.

We have a washing up bowl, it's left on the side after washing up, when people (not me) use something and stick whatever it is, next to the bowl and not in it, really grinds my gears, just stick it in the goddamn bowl! It looks tidier!! Or wash up!! Oh god, now I'm thinking about it at 1am 😂. The same applies to clothes left in front of the washing machine when there isn't anything in it.

And don't get me started on clothes inside out, if you take it off, put it in the right way!

I'm done. I think

At work, that used teaspoon that sits there on the countertop, immediately above the empty dishwasher, that door is open.

My inner monologue screaming "JUST PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER YOU LAZY INCONSIDERATE TWAT!!!!!!"

My PC. "Would you like to save this document to the cloud?"

No.

I want to save it on my PC.

That I created the document on.

That I own.

That's in my apartment.

Where I live!!!!!!!!"

"Toilet paper when the perforations don't match up on the layers so it rips unevenly grrrr."

That's easily fixed.

Unroll the layer in front one turn and tear it off.

The perforations will now align.

Also, the layer in front will now be the lower layer.
