Trivial things that annoy you

Its All Wright

People who leave 1 biscuit in the package. Nobody ever has just 1 biscuit with a mug of tea & the person who leaves the 1 biscuit in the package is aware of this so they should either eat the last biscuit themselves or give it to the dog. So so annoying grrr

As the title says, what seemingly trivial things bug you?

There's plenty for me, but lately its a spoon.

In the top drawer in the kitchen we have all the cutlery in one of those tray things that everyone has. Everything's in its own little section. But there's one bastard spoon doing my head in.
I have no idea where it came from or why it's even there.
The problem is, it's too big to be a small spoon.....but too small to be a big spoon. I never know what section to put it in, and every time I open the drawer.........there it is. Mocking me.

I fúcking hate that spoon.

Open the bin like ur having a ritual and say gone be with you annoying spoon, throw the bugger in

Seriously why the fook bother ringing and promise the sun moon n stars that you ll come then don't ?
If you re not interested that's fine but please don't waste my time cause there's better things I could have been doing!!

Sorry bout the rant

I had that a lot earlier this year but it was house contents. I had a guy ring about a TV and he wasn't far from me, I asked when he would call, he said "Now!" That might have been April and he is not here yet. Also a woman for a wall unit rang 4 times to update me on her situation and her uncle was in hospital and she'd be here tomorrow. Again around April and she still isn't here. I got so sick of it I cancelled all my ads.

What really grinds my gears is when in a bus stop, people go ahead of me into the bus. I am a foreigner. In every other country I lived before, there's often queueing and respect for people who arrived first. In Dublin sometimes people who only just arrived manage to get into a bus while others who were there since the dawn of time can't even get into the bus because "oopsie dazy, we're full now".

Those letter boxes in the door with the brush in them. Occasionally when i have to strugle with one i realise how much of a pain it can be to be a postman or postwoman.

Draft-blocker. The wind whistles in those things without 'em.

I wish who ever makes them could put a bigger space somehow for the post. Fek it i need to get one as my letter shutter makes a right racket on a windy day.

I call this hairdresser talk. I hate it. I have one barber who doesn't speak to me. When she doesn't she gets a tip, when she does, no tip. Mine is a derivative work based on Pavlov's classical conditioning theory.

Children bag packing for charity. Got to the checkouts today to find 4 kids packing bags for a charity at the bottom of the checkout. They looked to be 1st years from a local secondary school. Come on ffs, it's Friday, it's really busy and would the kids time not be better employed in the classroom instead of piddling about in a supermarket. Honestly, it's annoyed me so much that I would seriously be put off donating to this very well known charity in future.

Is this what passes for schools extra-curricular activities these days, because it certainly felt like a class day out. Really annoying.

Probably mentioned but people who wear their propensity to binge drink every so often as a badge of honour.

The "sure you know me, if I have one drink, I have 20. I'm mad I am" type of idiot.

Don't forget the complete lack of cop-on when they're doing this, e.g. bag of heavy potatoes placed on top of sliced pan; bottle of domestos in bag with fresh fruit, etc

Those people who try and pump soap into you hands and hand you a towel when you go to take a pee and certain nightclubs and bars. Looking for the small change.

Piss off you low life or I will call welfare.

I hate anything to do with football...to my mind nothing more irritatting has ever been devised.

It's on in pubs so huge,bloated beer monsters can screech and bellow at the television.

Irish people who bullshiit about the six counties and up the ra and all that cobblers "supporting" an english team...idiots talking as if they themselves are playing the matches "we beat youse last night" etc etc.

The self-same fat fools disecting the match in the pub afterwards,"he should've done this,he's a bad forward,that was some pass" and all this malarky like they were experts on tactics as well as football generally.

the mere mention of phrases like "champions league" or the "premeiership" gets me worked up...i dispise the whole thing.

That reminds me. I go and donate my pint a couple of times per year, no big deal, now I have no problem with people who cant donate, or even if they, for whatever reason don't want to, but what gets on my wick is " oh, you are great, its a blah blah, I would love to donate, but I don't like needles" For the record I HATE needles. IMO, if you are so afraid of needles, you should carry a little card stating same, in case you are ever in an accident, you would not want to a blood transfusion by mistake.;)
