little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Bernard Diomede]

Trying to get the plastic off a new bottle of mouth wash. Fucking bastards. A new bottle is always needed on the morning I am running late without fail.

My new trainers have developed a squeak in the right shoe. Really annoys me, particularly when walking into a shop that's dead silent. End up doing a Douglas Bader impression to try stopping it.

I had that with a pair of work shoes a while back. We were in the back of one of those shite open plan offices and the walk to the kitchen or bog seemed to take hours with this stupid squeaking noise following me all the way.

It took 3 of us to get into a bottle of cooking oil the other day.

Here is an idea.

Let's create packaging where its virtually impossible to open the product.

Ring.com doorbells. Why does everyone else on the street need to know when you have someone at the door?

[Furmedge]

Why isn't Grandstand on right now?  It's cup final day for fucks sake!

Can’t believe Stuart Hall hasn’t been given the nod for Cup Final It’s a Knockout

Had a Ring door bell fitted about 6 months ago yet people still knock with the letterbox.

Why do women hate seeing you with nothing to do. Sit down looking chilled enjoying a cup of tea watching Liverpool content and I know the second she sees me she will insta summon something that needs doing and if its not done immediately its a case of "I'll do it myself" in the most clichéd act of passive aggression that exists in domestic situations. Just give it a fucking rest women its our day off, it's the morning and I was momentarily content and happy.

This has been the spark for many a row.
 

The wife is a ‘doer’. Can’t sit still, always on the go. I’m very much a reflector, I like to sit and think. I’m also a lazy bastard so she often does have a point.

 

Not always though, I run my own business so I’m often thinking about that. Strategising if you will. She always assumes I’m just sat doing nothing and feels the need to say something.
 

Pisses me right off whether she’s right or wrong. Sometimes a man just needs to sit.

Hell yes, people knocking on the door when I have a perfectly good doorbell is pretty near the top of the list of things that annoy me. It's a massive button right next to the door, completely unmissable you would think. But to delivery drivers it seems to possess magical powers of invisibility.

 

Sometimes when I answer the door I'll 'test' the doorbell right in front of them. "Oh, it does still work" I say.

I've got one of those bogies that tickles the inside of your nose. The only sure way to deal with it is to jam a finger up and have a good root around to dig the bastard out, but I'm sat on a crowded coach and that sort of behaviour is frowned upon.

My youngest plays in a football team. Last night we hosted an end of season barbecue, few awards, present for the coach etc. one of the dads came along, drank a lot of my beers, ate a load if food then told me “in confidence “ that his son was leaving us to play for our rivals next season. Wanker.

Spent ages over winter getting my room sorted for my hobbies.

 

God forbid I want to spend time in there...

Beeping of car horns outside houses.

When the council finally come and re tarmac a stretch of road and it looks good then a few

weeks later some cunts from the gas or water board come and dig a channel along it and patch it up.

Anyone, male or female in any service job; referring to groups of people as “guys” - regardless of the genders of said groups. Just. Fucking. Stop. Yet another American-ism creeping into and blighting our lives. So fucking irritating..

Getting told to park up at the Maccies drive through (notice the correct spelling) and either part of your order is missing/wrong or it's stone cold, or both.

That happened to me once and they gave me the fucking controller Al used in Quantum Leap. They also missed half the order.

Sports TV coverage such as motor racing where an overtake takes place it it cuts to the mechanics clapping.
