Trivial Things That Annoy You — Rules in Post #1

whiskeyman

Seeing something on a menu, but not ordering it because there's just one ingredient on it you don't like.

Sure, you could just ask for said foodstuff to be removed / made without it, but you know the chef would die a little inside as he intended the dish to be served that way to compliment all flavours etc...

Ridiculous. It's why Amazon have a ''certified frustration-free packaging'' thing now.
If you don't have a sharp knife or tin opener to hand, the edge of a key might do it.
They're certainly ''secure'' alright!

Or don't sit up and set it and have a night of broken sleep because you're worried that you won't wake on time..

Or in my OH's case, worry about sleeping in when she needs to be up. Sets alarm. Gets worried it wont work. Gets me to set alarm. Still sleeps badly for fear of not waking up.

.... I sleep like a baby so its not all bad.

Calling someone on the phone then getting distracted by the sound of your own voice echoing back into your ear

For the last couple of weeks I've woken in a panic because it's now so bright so early, I keep thinking my alarm was wrong and I'm about an hour late.

I tried shouting at it, reasoning with it. Nothing worked!

TA'd in the library, listening to Spotify on my phone. Wanted to go to the bathroom so turned down all the volume levels on the phone, and cleared away all running apps.

Unplugged the headphones, going to get out of my seat and music starts blaring from the phone.


And it was f*cking Little Mix. Don't even like them, I swear

Assuming a certain shop accepts One4all vouchers, picking out €30 worth of bits, and when handing over the voucher to pay they don't take them

People who give one for all vouchers - a pain in the hoop is what they are
It's basically cash that most places won't take
I got some at xmas and it was really limited to where I could spend them

TA'd that at lunch at work nearly every day the same colleague starts talking about Trump and then incessant chattering about all the things he does wrong festers throughout the break room. Snooze.

Thanks for reminding me I got a One4All voucher for Christmas!

My TA: I follow the director Luc Besson's page on Facebook. His posts can be very interesting but at the end of each status update he puts a string of hashtags that promote his upcoming film and the actors that star in it. He even puts them in when offering his condolences after a tragedy. It just doesn't look right.

TA: Went to get coffee, lady asks me if i "have 10 cent handy". Think I could make out what she was saying to me? Not a chance. Had to ask her twice what she was saying, she eventually sounded out the words and I got it. Lord God.

More than TA: Windows 10 on my laptop is stupid. It doesn't bring windows to the front when I click on there icons in the taskbar, even when they're already running. Been going on for ages and is beyond frustrating. Made another futile attempt at fixing the issue this week and think I did more harm than good.

I just had the displeasure of being in the proximity of one of the smelliest (to quote Mr Goose) cunnoxes ive come across in a long time. It wa so bad, seriously, I nearly vomited where I stood. I could feel myself going lightheaded. This fcuker needed to be power hosed. I know this person, he is not homeless and to the best
Of my knowledge he is not mentally challenged. He lives in a house, he had access to water....what the fcuk is wrong with people? Do they decide on purpose not to wash, and to wear that manky waxed jacket that smells like that dog pissed on it lastyear and it has been smouldering down the back of a damp shed since? He is also married with young kids....which leads me to believe he has sex at least three times. I'll leave you with that image.

TA that no matter how old I get or how annoyed I am this one little phrase never ever ever fails to make me snort laughing. The annoying part is I know it's not funny but deep in my heart it makes me lol

I think people who have extreme cases of BO and never wash are mentally challenged in a way.

Is his wife equally as pungent or maybe she has little to no sense of smell?
If not, poor her having to even share the same living space as him let alone the same bed. Imagine the stench of the sheets even!

I don't need to go to the loo. Decide to fill up my water bottle. Listen to running water for 20 seconds. Sit back at my desk ... ok I do need to use the loo.

Are you me? I've just done this!!! :D

Surreptitious

I just washed all my sheets and just as I was going to the dryer my neighbour started using it. So I have a whole load of wet sheets, she's gone out and wtf do I do now? NOOOOOOOOOO. My OCD can't be dealing with this.

Encountered the very same earlier this week. Even including the manky waxed jacket. I (thankfully) only met him in passing on a stairs, (so don't know his marital status )but it was like walking into a fug of absolute stink! And then I walked into the large room he had been working in, and he had somehow managed to stink the entire place. My stomach is turning a bit, writing this.
Seriously, there is no excuse for a human being to stink like that. :mad:

Mysterious bruises. I have one on my thigh.
Dont know how it got there which is a pity as a good bruise deserves a good story.

Not washing can be a symptom of depression.

I discovered a horrible red, blue and purple one on my knee and it was caused by the oven door. Awful looking.
