Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Gimps on gameshows who instead of just answering the question, try to show how clever they are by explaining how they know its not the other answers.

"Well i went skiing in the mountains just outside that city ten years ago, and i never hears of that specific theatre, so its definitely not number two...."

they're usually wrong too.

I'm in a couple of hiking clubs and a few of us occasionally go away for weekends amongst ourselves. Recently one pal suggested a weekend away in the north west so I thought that would be cool. I'm normally a 'B' pace hiker meaning I don't go fast, I prefer not to and I also have a condition awaiting surgery which prevents me from going fast even if I want to. I don't join 'A' grade walks for this reason as it is uncomfortable.

Went on a mixed hike of A and B grades a few days ago and ran into my pal who was organising the weekend away, which is in a couple of weeks. I was looking forward to discussing the plans for the trip but thanks to the presence of a few elite 'A's on the hike, I didn't get a look in, this pal was brown nosing them the whole time, even though they are not going with us.

I came home and cancelled my hotel in the north west. Thankfully no cost to me as I'm within the time limit.

I'll do something nice for myself instead somewhere closer to home. I probably won't even be missed.

Listening to a student at work who has knowledge but no experience of a particular group of hidden disabilities, when I overheard him going down the uninformed route of well as they don't look disabled and as I can do it I don't see the need for all the fuss, I stepped in and reminded them that it's different in everyone and we should be lead by what the person says primarily.

They have gone off into a huff and I feel my yearly "reprimand" for implying to their faces that they are stupid is due. TA No doubt they will say I took a tone!

Never said they were stupid, just expanded their limited knowledge of a widespread hidden disability.

Thats a peeve of mine , that restaurants fry sausages and mushrooms too quickly . Mushrooms need to be slow cooked to get the taste

The horror of using a toilet in the office when the seat rises along with you. The cleaners had just been in so I'm hoping it was cleaning fluid that made it sticky and not other substances.

My BLT was very scarce of B 😀

I bought one of those adaptors so I can plug my wired headphones in to my phone. Was looking at the apple one and thought I'm not spending that much so I bought a cheaper one. On the way home I find out it's faulty, it keeps disconnecting and pausing the music as it disconnects.

I keep having to press play but sometimes it disconnects fully and the sound blares out of the phone speaker instead of my headphones. Problem is, I've my headphones in so it just sounds like the music is low volume so I instinctively turn the music up, only after a few seconds realising I'm blaring music at full volume off my phone's speaker. Also my music of choice is banging late 90's Techno, which doesn't help with the looks I'm getting.

So I've brought the faulty one back and said f it, I'll not make the same mistake twice so I'll shell out for the expensive apple one this time. Now I have no problems with this connection wise but it's not half as loud as the last one. I have to have my volume at like 95% to get any kind of decent volume out of it.

That's annoying but my new problem is that my phone keeps automatically turning down the volume after a while because "you have been listening at high volume for an extended time, high volume for extended time causes hearing damage" The thing is I haven't, I've been listening at the equivalent of about 50% on the first adapter that I bought.

Seems like I just can't win with these adaptors.

Might blame me for that 🙄. We were having problems with deliveries and one of them for a €100+ watch was left in the wrong building with the signature was forged. Thankfully we saw the delivery notification, got onto Amazon about it and they pointed us to where it was before it was lifted off the communal post boxes. I'd rather go through a few hoops to get the delivery.

The backlight on my laptop screen is dying. The screen keeps randomly going black and I have to turn the thing off and on again to get it back on.

Not comfortable trying a repair myself, don't want/can't afford a new laptop, not really too happy about bringing it into a shop to get it fixed either. 😐️ Bleh.

If you mostly use your laptop at a desk ... You could plug it into a monitor if you have one or get a cheap or second hand 1080p one.

And on some threads there's US VP Harris in the mix too!

Toilet seats . . The hinges are forever coming loose or breaking, and the more expensive or heavy duty the loo seat, the less time they last. Then there's those ones with the chrome fittings that turn a verdigris colour from the pee . . awful rusty yokes to change.

In my parents house growing up, I recall we had a mahogany loo seat with brass fittings that never gave a problem . . though I wouldn't recommend the turquoise furry lid cover and matching pee mat that also adorned our bathroom.

Trying to switch into "work/professional" mode but the engine just won't start.

Another generation baiting media piece all over radio this morning, Gen Z and their slang no one cares about. Besides some of these terms are quite old.

People who can't throw a ball.
