Trivial things that annoy you

Another one that got me tonight - chocolate biscuit cake with raisins in it. Why, why would you do that? Raisins are disgusting and chocolate biscuit cake is delicious

Americanisms really irritate me. The misspelling of English words for no good reason (color for colour etc.) and the fact that these have become acceptable over here and in Britain.

A topical one; the way everyone refers to the the Twin Towers atrocity as "9/11". If you're going to be stupid enough to refer to a tragedy as a date (which irritates me in itself), at least get the date right. It should be date-month-year.

The UPC remote makes me want to stab people. It is so unresponsive so it's impossible to type in a channel number because pressing three numbers in quick succession is just too much for it. Then some times it freezes and then loads of things happen at once. Don't get me started in the box thing and it's "series link" function.

I was all set to change to Sky recently because our year contract was up until I remembered in Feb they offered us an upgrade in our broadband speed but we had to sign up for a year from that date and I stupidly took it. Grr!

I've been tempted to throw the remote at the tv at times and the start up takes ages before the remote starts to respond and then the software in progress.

Speaking of which, just now- any time my wife gets near the remote control!

I wanted to watch "Dorian Gray" on More4, she insists on watching some "Lake Placid" crap on E4, *grumble grumble* :mad:

You let your wife have the remote control?:P

I was quite annoyed to come back to Ireland about ten years ago (I live abroad) and notice people saying 'pissed' to mean annoyed and not inebriated.

It's fupping 'pissed off'!

You and whoever you're complaining about are both wrong.

It's Portugal.

Strangers who address me by my first name, i.e. in the bank they thank me when I make a lodgement in branch and a cashier says thank you 'insert name here'. Likewise if I'm dealing with a company rep on the phone, address me as Mrs not by my first name, I prefer the professional courtesy rather than familiarity with someone I don't know.

Women , and mostly overweight ones , in black leggings that are dirty and threadbare , my god girls have you no respect ....on the other hand maybe this should be a post in 'annoying large things !

Oh I completely disagree. I prefer people using my first name for everything. I hate being addressed by 'Miss' or 'Ms'.

It's onions that have me annoyed today. Not their taste or the way they make you cry.

This time it's the 'hard to get rid of' smell they leave on your hands after cutting them. The fecking smell just lingers on yer hands no matter how much ya scrub them Made fajitas last night, was smelling onion off my hands this morning, making me gag!

Many years ago on my first day working as a receptionist for a company, I addressed a client as Mr Browne. He very promptly told me " I was f*(king well christened and not pissed on".

Same with garlic. Chop up cloves of garlic and your hands smell of it for the rest of the week!

Rub stainless steel under water. It's not a scientific fact or anything but it works for me.

What an ignorant prick.


I don't like when people say 'a-shume' instead of 'assume'.

You opened the door when you got there, would you mind leaving it the way it was after you've used it?

And then the "look around" to see who closes it- you're the nearest get up off your fat árse.
