Default Small annoyances...

What are the little things that really **** you off?

Just been to the gents at work for a slash, the sinks in there are set into a work top type affair and every so often some **** manages to cover the whole thing in water, **** knows how. Anyway I don't notice, lean against the top while washing my hands, and get a wet line across each trouser leg. Not the end of the world I know but makes me

So what things make you

Paperboy leaving the free papers half hanging out the letterbox (I don't buy newspapers).

Draughty cold hallway in winter and flooded hallway when it rains heavily (the paper acts like a water spout).

Not to mention it says "Hello Mr Criminal, come and rob the house because nobody is in" to every ****** that walks past (I'm often not in when he delivers, or I'm away).

Every now and then I'm lucky enough to catch teh paper boy in the act and give him/her a lecture on why they should push teh paper all the way through (or not bother delivering here), however it only lasts a few months before they either forget or are replaced by a new paperboy who does the very same thing.

Next time my carpet gets soaked, I'm sending a carpet cleaning bill to the editor of the free papers.

Taps that are impossible to turn off and on with soapy or wet hands

surely a fundamental design requirement of taps-- is that they should be easily operated with wet hands -- or am i missing something

I did a free paper round when I was a kid, we were told to push them all the way through and I always did, though mostly because we were told our rounds would be checked from time to time and if you weren't doing it properly you'd get the sack. Glad when I jacked that in after a couple of years, 3 hours+ every Thursday night whatever the weather all for £7 - 8

Chap I work with is like that - if he wants me to show him how to do something on the computer and his by my ear chomping away, it irritates the heck out of me.

If its work related, not washing your cup at end of play. If theres only 3 people on the office how come theres 12 cups in the sink?

In general, lots of little things irritate me so I find it hard to pin point something in particular. I could round it up by saying pretty much everything annoys me in some small way.

Those who sneeze without covering their mouths are worse. I'd rather smell peoples farts than breath their horrible germs

Arrogant folk in the middle and upper classes.

All these broken BMW indicators.

The 40mph EVERYWHERE brigade.

Fat grotty birds.

My car at the minute as the downpipe/cat join section has decided to blow up, leaving me with an exhaust dragging on the floor and an obscenely loud 1.1 car

People in our office building using the lift for first & second floors ...& even using 2nd to 1st! ...I even over heard one of the fat lazy lumps conversations about how 'fat club' & her dieting wasn't working!?!

So what things make you
+1

But also blokes who stand 3ft back from the urinal not only spraying wildly as if trying to douse some imaginary fire but that when you swing the door of the gents open the first thing you see is an eyeful of some geezer holding his c,ock

Also people in a busy nightclub/bar queueing at the bar moaning about how they have not been served for 20mins - when they eventually get asked what they want they have to shout at every member of their 10 strong group to ask what they want - arrrrgghhh w**nkers !!

Can you not see the irony in your post? besides, you are more likely to get it deliberately vandalised, especially if you do it in a full car park.

People who are so incompetent at their jobs that they have no concept of how incompetent they really are.

Not being able to find the thing that you've been tripping over for two years but which you really need RIGHT NOW!
