Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

People who spend too long in the toilet - especially public toilets. There should be a timer on the door. If you have not finished when the timer runs out then the toilet goes into superflush mode and sucks you down the u-bend before automatically unlocking the door.

Anyone ever tried to go for a p1ss at Piccadilly Wholefoods Market? Be prepared to wait at least 5mins for one of the four unisex cubicles to be free.

Pseudo-gluten intolerant gobshites taking bleeding ages.

As for shite adverts... don't watch shite TV.

And this forum's swear filter can blow me.

The latest Stone Roses single. I have to turn the radio down for a bit everytime it comes on, it's terrible.

The Who - Boris The Spider
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
The Jam - News Of The World
The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue
The Sex Pistols - Silly Thing
Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle

See, lots of great bands are capable of producing utter crap!!

And I know hundreds of other examples can be provided.

People that let their dogs piss and shit anywhere they like. Tying up my boat, tied the bow line and moved to the stern, look round and there is a rat dog pissing all over the bow rope. I shout at the owner who seemed oblivious to the actions of her mutt even though it was on one of those extending leads. I politely explain that if I see the dog doing that again, that it will be going for a swim, swiftly followed by its owner. I'm sure ignorance is now a growth industry. Hurrumph!

I used to fly big kites, the ones that can pull you around in a buggy. I often used them on the beach, and when you are taking break or setting up, it's normal that the kite lines are tethered to a post and the kite is parked on the brakes, like this...


Now, these things can cost a few hundred each when new, and although they get dirty in use, I take exception when owners let their dogs wander and actually piss on the kite. One day when it happened, the two couples with the doggy thought it was very amusing. I asked if they would think it was funny if I came over and pissed on them.

Dogs Generally!

Too much packaging on some thing tiny and people who stop at the top of escalators
Give time I'm sure I have some more, lol

People that are still riding around with their Ride London number on their helmet.

No idea why this annoys me at all.
It just f*&king does.

I find it incredibly contrived, and it's on all the bloody time.

orraloon

These clickbaits about Top Gear, Evans, Clarkson, etc etc ad infinitum. Just stop.

Why not just 'clickbait' full stop?

Kids screaming
I don't mind kids making noise, yelling, etc
But when.they scream at the slightest thing it makes me evil

The owner seemed to think it was funny

In a similar vein to Spinner's moan, the trendy clothes shop that looks like a Chinese restaurant that I can't remember the name of. A mate of mine said it was so dark in there when he went in with his daughter he got his phone out to use the torch to look at the price, he was asked to leave.
Could be Hollister, I'm not sure and I don't really care.

Ubyk in Oxford is like that

Trees.

Specifically, Araucaria heterophylla when it's an 80 foot example in my front yard, and we have three days of high winds and rain. Filled 2 x 200 litre bins this morning with the fronds it dropped.

Forecast for the rest of the week is.... Wind and some rain. :roll:

Or when people stand directly under neath your lines dispite asking them not too and also moving to a place where they would be save.

it's up to the person that brings the risk to manage it. You take a gert big kite on to a beach, you can't complain when people walk on it, even if it's under your 'lines'. Same goes for cars, though this has not been accepted by the majority of drivers, they bring the risk to the road, it's their job to take care.

People who double click hyperlinks in their browser, or links in the windows start menu, then get all muddled why they've got two instances of every program open.

If you ask people not to do something because they might be injured, are you not "risk managing"?

TV channels that disappear when it's high pressure. Why can I get German television but not British, I'm in East Yorkshire for f**ks sake.

Drivers who leave their cars parked with the wheels left in the pulling out position.
