The small things in life that annoy you

[Turkish]

People that describe things or people as “like marmite, you love it or hate it” special bonus annoyance m points for people who describe themselves in this way

When pundits/analysts/presenters feel the need to apologise if there has been a rude word said by a crowd (live football for example)

Comparing countries or land areas to the size of Wales. Not much help for people who don't know how big Wales is. 

[rallyboy]

Bond Street station....

Started at £110m, comes in four years late at £680m...

Who the fuck organised that shambles?

Can the UK not build things properly, on budget, and on time anymore?

If you've watched Welcome to Wrexham then there is a fair bit of this going on

We're too engrossed with following the Health and Safety rules to the letter.

I was in Zeebrugge a couple of weeks ago where a hotel was being built.  Basically a shell with the walls and floors of concrete in place, four storeys tall, no scaffolding with a couple of blokes adding bits to the roof in their tracksuits and trainers.  Not a hard hat, hi-vis or H&S goon in sight.  Probably saved them millions on the building costs....

The infantilisation of (mainly footballers) names. There are exceptions but Bob or Robert is always Bobby, James or Jim is Jimmy, Tom or Thomas is Tommy, Dan or Daniel is Danny etc etc. These names are fine for anyone under the age of 10 but not grown men.

People who play music or videos loud on their phones when on public transport. No one else wants to hear what shit tick tok video you’re watching

No I’ve been over in cork this week for work, on the flight back 3 young girls in front of me spent the time playing tick tok videos very loudly and whooping about how funny they were. Then when on the shuttle bus to the car park one of a group of blokes in their 30s starting watching some video, no headphones, playing it loudly the whole bus could hear. Why do it? Kids you can understand but grown adults FFS

You should have given them 1 of your "lectures" like you do to some on here

Stood in Currys, I wondered what on earth this was...

So I checked the label and it all became clear...

[cloggy saint]

It's for ironing clothes whilst they are being worn or on a mannequin. Why does it annoy you?

[Manuel]

No it isn't.  It's a BRV ELTDI AMND GS.  

 

[Lighthouse]

When you're walking past someone stood still, eg. in a bar or supermarket, they set off into your personal space and you're in each others way. Just wait two seconds for me to walk past you, how hard is it?

Just 'accidentally' clatter into them like I I do...

[ChrisPY]

People who shop in supermarkets at weekends when they could have gone during the week.

[Weston Super Saint]

Pumpkins.

Well, the ones left abandoned on the street more specifically.  Half the world is starving. People Soggy meets have to visit food banks and the self entitled have so much they can afford to cut up a valuable food source and leave it lying in the street.

Sliders. I thought flip flops were bad enough but these are 100 times worse.

Also people that turn up to 5 a side wearing them to the astro before changing into trainers they could have just worn on the way anyway.

[saint1977]

Temporary traffic lights left up for weeks on end with no hint of a utility worker onsite, causing long tailbacks for no apparent benefit.

[buctootim]

Floorplans in house sales brochures with no room dimensions or sq feet / metres.  If someone is spending £200k, £500k, £1m  or whatever at least tell them what size it is.

Was probably those Pompey lads sitting on the pallets of that flatbed truck in the car park at Oxford in the play off semi.

When at the end of the game someone goes to the far goal to pick up their mid game discarded sweatshirt and leaves the other one or two there.

If 40% of consumers don't like them then 60% do. Don't we live in a democracy ?

If you don't like the Bounty bars, save them up and donate them to a local food bank.

Or leave them for the fat dad to have at the end.

[skintsaint]

Halfway through a dump and realising there is not enough, or no toilet roll left.

[badgerx16]

Why is the bloke in the Verisure advert arming his alarm from the coffee shop ? Surely he should have done that when he left the house.

I am due to meet a couple of old school/football team buddies on Saturday. I have know them both for 58 years. One lives in Southend and the other just outside Oxford. Not seen the for a while due to the lockdown etc. I have managed to avoid the dreaded virus all the way through the pandemic but have felt a bit rough this week so took a test this evening - Sod’s law, it is positive 😩

 

[rallyboy]

Unlucky.

Though I suspect a couple of your fans will be along shortly to highlight the irony of you being positive...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Sorry to hear that Soggy. I hope you're back to 100%,or as close as any of us get to that, soon.

on the news whenever there is a government related issue how they find some randomers and interview them about their own personal situation and ask them what the government should be doing about it, with the answer always being "it's not fair, i've got (insert random problem) and we need more help" Like the government should have a specific policy because Jean from Basildon has varicose veins and needs a heater on her legs every evening.

Pisses me off when couples assume Govt needs to sort out their childcare issues as if they have a right to work and have lovely things. Having kids is a sacrifice including making time to look after them

[cloggy saint]

Still the incessant use of 'to be fair'. It's the linguistic equivalent of grey jogging bottoms and cheap trainers.

Receiving an email from BA asking if I want to donate my Avios points to charity.

They aren’t a tangible thing you twats just you removing a customer loyalty bonus

Radio presenters that don’t like the truth and feel like they need to apologise for everything 🙄

My daughter's boyfriend uses that phrase a lot...slightly annoying  He's otherwise a pretty decent bloke though to be fair.
