Trivial things that annoy you

My husband is from Essex. Every now and again when he's had a few drinks he tries to get me to say R, he finds the way I pronounce it hillarious. Needless to say on those occasions booze is all he gets:D

That's another one though - they pronounce the feckin thing 'aw'! Like how they and Aussies call Melbourne 'Mewbin' but don't call those Matt Damon films 'The Bin Identity'.

Skip about 30 seconds in (and about 1:55 is the great summation of After Hours you'll ever see!)!

Mint Sauce

People who refer to the overtaking lane, as the fast lane.

Building up a complex about my pronunciation of 'th'. Always thought I pronounced it properly until a colleague recently took the piss.

Now I purposely slow down when using a word starting with th. :eek:

Having to defrost the fridge once a month.

When my socks do a 180 and the heel section ends up on top of my foot.

It's not uncomfortable but once seen, has to be corrected. But no simple tug will undo this debacle, a whole-sock readjustment required every time.

When you're on a flight and you lose your hearing.
Peter Kay summed it up perfectly, saying "everytime you yawn you get a bit of your hearing back".
Wtf is that all about?

Feeling you're going to sneeze but you dont and you get that horrible stingy sensation in your nose.

Getting an itchy nose when you're chopping veg.
Getting an itchy ar*e when you're hands are all soapy from the washing-up.

People phoning you when you're in the loo and you've been waiting all day for a call but you put your phone down for a SECOND to dash to the little girls' room and the blasted thing rings!

Oh yuck...opening a bag of King Cheese and Onion and finding that someone in the factory went loose with the onion/salt seasoning.
I can actually FEEL the stuff on my fingers! Yuck.

Someone come and eat the other 11 bags, please.

Apt username!

One thing that annoys me is the way my mother hangs the toilet paper roll on the holder- with the paper hanging under. Drives me demented!:mad:

I was always of the persuasion that you should hang it over but then I realised that when you tug it, it just rips off one sheet.

Hanging it under means you can tug it and it won't rip.
Your mother is RIGHT!

Never had that happen to me, except with big industrial public toilet rolls.

I hate when the two rolls aren't quite aligned and it rips off a centimetre or more apart on both parts of the two ply (yeah, I'm cheap, probably the reason for my issue!).

TheMilkyPirate

When people begin to use brackets in a sentence and the never put the second one in, I end up reading ahead too fast waiting for the end of the brackets that never comes. Example:

I went to the shop today (the same one i always go to and they didn't have what i wanted in stock so i went to another one.

Ahhhhh!!!!!

Your plies are misaligned. Simply separate and take 1 ply for a few sheets until they are realigned.

Your life is about to change for the better.

I have tried that, it usually works, not this pack :-(. Thank you though!

I remember some very posh guy docked a point off someone else on Come Dine With Me for this.

Bulling for pints the first weekend of the year.

Eating all day and still being hungry.

Soccer soccer soccer non stop on every sports bullitin on tv and radio.

2 hours of my life that I'll never get back after watching Hangover 3.

I hear he's in "the vic" now.
Awful, depressing show. All they do is shout at each other, they're all terrified of that bald beetroot. Nobody has a washing machine. Nobody has any money, yet they're in the vic morning noon and night.

People cramming their purchases on the conveyer thingy in the supermarket as if it was the last train to nowhere.

When I'm itchy but I can't locate the exact source of the itch and therefore can't scratch it.

It happens regularly and it's horrific.

It's worse when it goes to powder for no apparent reason and then gets all sticky and glues your underarm hair together.
Infuriatingly annoying!

One thing that has started to bug me over the past few months is this fashion for guys to wear those oversized woolly beanie hats - you know the ones that look like feckin' smurf hats! Pulled down reeeeeal low over their eyebrows and ears and flopping over at the back of their heads - even during the recent hot weather, they were out with them!!

We did say trivial things, right??...

I'm quoting my post from last June here...saw one of these offending hats on a guy today...yep, still annoys the tar out of me!!!
