Trivial things that annoy you

BeerWolf

That irritating 'sharp' snot in your nose that you can't get rid of, primarily while in company of people.

Tailgaters make me drive slower

People on Facebook who do a countdown to Christmas.

147 days to Christmas.

Ads that use the tune of a song, but change the lyrics to suit there product. Spend half the days trying to figure out what the song is.

When I get a stone in my shoes or sandals, and after taking them off to shake it out, it turns out to be about the size of an atom.

I'd prefer it was bigger. It would make me tougher, somehow.

the way ulster bank online randomly locks you out of your account every so often and makes you re-register even though you have put all the same details in as before :mad: You then have to wait for activation codes etc to be sent out. Fuucking maddening.

Yes!

Dostoevsky

Airplanes that allow passengers to push back their seats during a flight. Then I'm squashed so I have to push back my seat into the person behind me. And so on. This morning the guy behind me asked me not to because he was in the last row and had no room to push back. So I had to ask the attendant could she ask the people in front to move back up.

This is a totally unnecessary cause of tension between passengers.

That was Business Class! (but not 'Premium Class').

Hope it wasn't any of these guys:

People with a whistly nose. Breath through your mouth, dammit.

People who make a beeline to the table next to you, when sitting in an empty establishment. I will never fathom this.

The above, probably mentioned already. Me not reading the entire thread to confirm that will probably annoy someone else:)

People who re-post points that others have made :P

The bus pulling off before you have a chance to sit down especially if you have kids.
Old people jumping the queue for the bus.
Kids on scooters in the supermarket
People having a good root thinking no one is looking at them

People who don't read the thread & post the same things as previous people do

This is far from trivial as it's plain ignorant, but as we're on the topic of buses i'll post it anyway.

I absolutely HATE when people (mostly young lads and foreign lads) sit on the aisle seat when both seats are free to prevent somebody from sitting beside them. They also do it with their backpacks sometimes, it really infuriates me it's so unaccommodating

I'd go so far as to say I start sweating when it isn't on a multiple of five.

I tend to get irritated with the wannabe alpha males who take up two seats by splaying their legs apart to display their wannabe alpha maleness and look menacing should you dare glance at the "spare" seat. I weigh up the pros and cons of possible conflict and either squash up beside them (eventually they reluctantly bunch up a bit) or stare mindlessly at the non existent advert just above their wannabe alpha frames.

You're probably best not sit anywhere near them, it's hard for a person to put their legs together when they're suffering from crotch rot.

Absent mindedness is bugging me this week. I really hate it, like last night, I went upstairs to switch on the immersion and decided to fold some laundry while I was there. Half way down the stairs I had to stop and think hard if I'd gone up to switch it on or off, couldn't remember so had to go back and check. Still it could be worse, I sometimes forget to switch it off for hours:o
