Little issues that annoy the hell out of you

[burble]

Surely you book in advance..?

In an ideal world yes. My job is far from ideal. I didn't know until about midday that I needed to fly to the UK this evening, just as I didn't know until about 1pm yesterday afternoon that I needed to fly from Amsterdam to Paris.

Another small annoyance, the way the Heathrow Express bounces and rocks about so much that the WiFi they advertise all over the place is pretty much useless thanks to the laptop being hard to read.

- people who say 'for free' if its free its not for anything!

[Guy]

People saying 'mate you got a light'?!

NO!!! and even on the rare occasion that I do have a lighter on me your not using it!


Also Plastic packaging you know the stuff the use on nearly everything electronic/for the home!
Even with a pair of hefty scissors I almost break my hand trying to cut through the stuff, then have to hack it open with a kitchen knife, which then turns the packet into a lethal device with very sharp edges, and ive been left bleeding many times by them!

God im grumpy today!

[Stewart]

Good things happening to bad people, bad things happening to good people.

My sense of fair play does not like that.

[tiggerai]

I thought of one that really gets on my tits.

People who put sharp knives straight into the washing up bowl. Grrr

[megah0]

People who eat cake.

Cake.

Not being able to eat cake without sticking needles in myself. :|

People posting on forums after beer. (beer!)

[just_laze]

I'm drunk.

Ah yes, the evil 'blister pack'. I find a pair of Ikea tailors scissors do the trick. The blades are about 6" long and very sharp. Only a couple of quid too.

Ok, if that's how we're going to be. (it's a bit harsh... that's like saying people who eat sugar are bad, but I have to... being hypoglycaemic for whatever reason ) (I iz joking... I know how horrid it is to not be able to eat / drink something you like... see below!)

Caffeine and the way they put it in EVERYTHING.

Not being able to drink caffeine without ending up in resus being pumped full of drugs and racing the old dears having heart attacks on the ecg monitor (ok, that bit is fun...)


I also dislike this morning: people who deliberately block you when you're TRYING to go a completely different way to them on the tube. I nearly bashed him one.


oh and Tigs proof packaging - pretty much anything that comes packaged I have difficulties getting into... maybe I'm just doing it all wrong.


(MGH0 - is it just the sugar in the cake that causes the problem?)

We should start a trend of suing the manufacturers of that awful packaging for damage to hands etc when opening things. They only do that to combat loss on people returning items, if it cost more for using that type of packaging they might go back to the sensible stuff!

A bit more on topic: I'm not usually that easy to annoy but the thing that really gets to me is hypocrisy. Any situation from a housemate moaning about things being dirty when they've done nothing themselves to clean, to people keeping "-isms" alive by claiming any negativity towards them is because they're from a minority group and couldn't possibly be because they have flaws just like everyone else. (god that's hard to describe! hope you get the jist)

What a joyous thread!

[IBM]

Inteligent people at dinner parties who call me antisemetic for criticising Israel's foreign policy. rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish.

[Lee H]

For me its more the ppl that are moaning about the smoking ban.... bugger off, if you must smoke get the hell outside! I dont wanna inhail any of it thank you very much!

I never complain about it that much. In fact, it's a great way to meet ladies at the weekend as most of them are outside smoking leaving all the non-smokers to sample the stale sick, stale urine and stale body odour fumes that now fill nightclubs.

Oh... Losing your voice like I have and then speaking to people who ask in the silliest husky voice "lost your voice?"

No... I talk like this for the fun of it don't I?

[MadduckUK]

"lost your voice?"

No... I talk like this for the fun of it don't I?

[Vimeous]

People who fill the sink with dirty dishes.

If you're gonna wash 'em wash 'em.
If you're not put 'em on the side.
Don't leave the blighters in the sink meaning I've gotta shift 'em just to get a glass of water! grr

People who insist on washing up in bowls.

I mean what's the point? You've a perfectly good sink and you're robbing yourself on space in which to wash your unfeasibly large wok and therefore taking a millenia to do it. If the sink's dirty clean it first!

Finally on washing up ....

People who insist on washing the greasiest items first and then not changing the water.

Why? Do I really want to use the dishes after you've 'cleaned' them as they appear to have a greasy shine. In fact they stink of old chip-fat.
Is it really that difficult to start with the cleanest stuff and even then occasionaly change the water? So you an eco-nut and only want to use one load of water, THEN USE LESS DISHES! (e.g. one pan for all aspects of a single meal)

GRRR

This ^ or when people insist on trying to clean dirty greasy stuff with cold water then put it away as if it's clean!
