  1. Not the big stuff, but frankly embarrassingly trivial crap that just makes your urine boil, then makes it boil twice over from the annoyance of actually being annoyed in the first place. Frankly irrational irritations.


    Not being ready to pay at a supermarket check out. What did you think would happen when you arrived at the till?

    Drivers failing to indicate on roundabouts,

  3. I could fill five pages with driving annoyances.

    People who take the entire family to go supermarket shopping.

    Kids in supermarkets full stop.
     
  4. Not guilty. Mrs has always since the kids were little gone alone.
     
  5. People who indicate to go straight on at a roundabout

  6. Middle lane morons on the motorway.
     
    • Agree Agree x 3
  7. Supermarkets can be made ok by using earphones (not earbuds)...I sometimes won't even have music on...but it's still enough to disconnect you from the chaos. ;)
     
  8. People in Hyundai i10’s that do 25 in a 40 with no traffic in front of them and then slam their brakes on in front of a speed camera like there isn’t a fucking speedo planted in front of their own eyes.

  9. People who are easily irritated. ;)

  11. Haha why does that kill me so much it’s like holding a door open for someone and they just breeze past you like you’re ther own personal doorman and should be saluting them.

  12. Yeah this one gets me.
    I’ll often wave on their behalf as they pass by blindly ignoring my generosity, an act of childish sarcasm I know, but it helps me cope.

  13. If we’re going minor irritations, can I add the price of cheese please (Louise)?

  14. When Mrs4 switches the toaster selector switch over to the big slot for toasted sandwiches and doesn't switch it back... the result is bread only toasted on one side and utter confusion as to what the position the selector switch should be in as I never use it and now have 1 sided toast.. normally quite a placid chap but this does piss me right off.

  15. I have a mate who almost got a divorce because his wife used the dry cat-food bowl for wet and vise-versa...:joy:

    ...and I do remember the news story of the German guy who murdered his wife in a fit of rage...when asked why he said "she put the fork on the wrong side of the plate...and I couldn't take it any more" :joy:
