Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

Had noticed that noxious phraseology creeping in to clickbait world. Created by web 'artistes' for whom English is not a first language? I have never heard 'x will drop your jaw' in normal speech.But the final straw has to be its hideous mutation into "xxxxxx will drop your jaw".0 -

Clickbait in general. It's never as good as the description or the thumbnail image suggests. It's potentially more annoying than nuisance phonecalls since it's self-inflicted...0 -
You know the kind of things I mean. Here are a couple of mine...
Opening a pack of painkillers to find that the leaflet is ALWAYS folded over the blister packs. Not 50% of the time as chance would dictate, but ALWAYS. :twisted:
Living with someone who persistently leaves drawers and cupboards slightly open. She knows who she is!
Having to go to the toilet when Im:
a: In a submarine
b: In a spacestation
c: In a shared prison cell
I dont like anything driving related.
Early mornings.
TV adverts.
The fact I keep hearing Jerry Corbyns name yet I have absolutely no idea why he is so popular/unpopular/in the press so much.
Sky (TV company).
Sky (the thing all this water falls from!).
The French accent.
Q's (as in lines of people, not the letter).
Slow people or people that get in my way.
Sometimes when I wipe my arse after having a crap it takes a particularly high number of wipes to get my anus clean again, literally like half the entire roll.
S.A.D all year round.
When I press a button for the traffic lights to turn red, they dont turn red immediately. They should turn red immediately unless they were previously used within the last 2 minutes or so. The time it takes between pressing the button and the lights turning red, I usually have found a large enough gap in traffic for me to cross the road anyway, and in some cases come back from short fishing trips on Loch Lomond.0 -
lol,yes to most of that.0

I would like, just occasionally, to be able to browse three consecutive web pages without being asked if I want to fill in a ******** survey...
Right now I would be happy to fill in anyone who designs or commissions a web survey.0 -

mmm, I would also like to buy something on the web without getting an email the next day asking me to tell them all about my experience.0 -

Seeing a lot of cars driving around with no lights on when it's dark or low visibility.
It's not hard to do. This time of the year I automatically put the lights on as soon as I've started the engine without thinking about it. Glad you can see me.
Edit: their behaviour is not seemingly trivial at all, it's dangerous."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -

Shops, restaurants and everyone else seem to be trying this on now. If they ask do I have an e-mail address? I reply that yes I do, and no I'm not giving it to them as I'll be buggered if I'm spending time clearing out unwanted requests for "feedback". I actually walked into a restaurant to book a table, they took a booking and then requested an e-mail, I told them no. They got a bit put out, then requested a mobile, I told them no, same reason don't want messages asking for feedback. I offered a landline number which they reluctantly accepted. With hindsight I wish I had given them an e-mail, food was pretty crap and they deserved some of my well thought out feedback.Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

Bloody adverts that keep repeating. If I see the advert with the tiny horse or the one with the kid dancing by the pool again I'm going to explode. Arghhh!Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)

People at cash machines. The balance checkers and double carders, I'm already thinking about head butting the back of your head before you've even had the insufficient funds message.0

Speaking to bank staff. I have nothing against them personally (who said this wasn't the season of goodwill?). I want efficiency from the counter, not chummy banter from the lad who thinks he is a raconteur of sports stories. I couldn't give a toss about his last winning goal kick, or how he beat his mates at golf last Sunday. He is a twat, and I know this because he calls me "sir".People at cash machines.

No cash machine transaction should take longer than 30 seconds and 25 of that is waiting for the machine to give you your money. Worse still, mums who let their sticky fingered toddlers press the buttons, makes my p*** boil. Bank staff should be more like train ticket inspectors, a mutual hatred of the situation they're in so as little words as possible should be used to barely disguise their hatred of you and what their life has become.0 -

LOL yes. I go to a website, a website I've never visited before in my entire life. And the very first thing that happens is that a box pops up asking me to do a survey about what I think about the website - a website I've never even looked at before. And worse than that the stupid pop up box always takes a minute to load and the dismiss box will always take about 10 clicks before it finally buggers off.
Same as that the stupid popup boxes saying "This website uses cookies", which also takes a minute to load and then 10 clicks before it finally buggers off. And no it's not required by EU legislation, you have to tell people your using cookies but there's nothing that says you have to load up a massive stupid ass popup which can't be dismissed without 10 minutes of furious clicking.0
