minor things that make you fume

I know they've got a job to do but these people going around the supermarket picking orders for customer collections really do my head in. Especially when there's 3 or 4 of them in the same aisle & they all decide to have a little chat amongst themselves thus making it impossible to get past.

Love this thread. A fair few posts that I totally agree with.

And loads of posts which make me feel better about my own issues.

who Says they can’t ? But I do find it strange that companies mimic big mc’s , steak bakes , kfc are even doing it . Surely there’s another decent food options to not need this ?

No there isn't, which is why they, both buyers/customers and sellers/manufacturers, all want to get as near to meat as the can.
They literally and figuratively want to have their pie and eat too.

Being wide awake 4 hours before your alarm is due to go off

While knowing you'll only feel like going back to sleep about twenty minutes before the alarm is due to go off.

It irritates me that most people still speak out the year 'Two thousand and twenty one' Why not twenty-twenty one?

I bet people didn't say 'Nineteen Hundred and twenty-one'

tbf, they probably did back then

I have noticed this. What's going on?

Buggered if I know mate. I'm beginning to think society has just become more lazy and selfish.

Do most people do that?

Sounds like you are just surrounded by weirdos!

When you open a packet of painkillers (insert drug of your choice) and no matter what I do I will pick the end that has the instructions folded over them with 100% accuracy resulting in me having to open the other end. I am in pain, I don't need this!

Also USBs. Why do they only work one way up? (I know why but a two way USB plug would be the best invention ever.

Haha, that is so true, regarding the drug packaging. Every bloody time I do it.

FYI, USB-C has already been invented . They don't have the same design as other USB connectors, well it doesn't on my phone or tablet, anyway.

When you hear someone, anyone on TV mention a year since 2000 you'll very rarely hear, say, twenty eleven.
They will almost always say two thousand and eleven. They do it here in Australia and on British TV which I watch a lot.

You do know that speed limits are actually maximums and this is perfectly reasonable.

Driving below maximum speed limits might be legally allowable, but it is extremely irritating when the road and weather conditions are good but overtaking is difficult. I remember police once making a slow moving truck pull in to allow banked up traffic to get past.

I do have a peak at the weird and wonderful possible side effects. lol

It can be reasonable in some circumstances... Not all.

In the leftmost lane on a road with two or more lanes? Yes.
On a single lane road, keeping an eye on the road behind you to make sure you're not inconveniencing anyone? Yes.
At the head of a queue of other drivers, preventing them from driving at a speed higher than your own? No.

People who sit in lane two on the motorway doing 56mph are poison.
