    As the title says, what seemingly trivial things bug you?

    There's plenty for me, but lately its a spoon.

    In the top drawer in the kitchen we have all the cutlery in one of those tray things that everyone has. Everything's in its own little section. But there's one bastard spoon doing my head in.
    I have no idea where it came from or why it's even there.
    The problem is, it's too big to be a small spoon.....but too small to be a big spoon. I never know what section to put it in, and every time I open the drawer.........there it is. Mocking me.

    I fúcking hate that spoon.

    On my daily drive to work my favourite radio station cuts in and out at the same point in the road, only does it for 10 seconds till i get past a hill. Really trivial, but bugs me every day.

    Simply ppl that leave used dishes with food in them in the sink for days, one of my house mates left stale beans in a pot in the sink for four days before washing it.. He was at the sink at least two times every day for the four days and never glanced at it never mind to wash it... Just don't get it..

    Put it in the bin.




    The way the volume of the ads go up during breaks.

    A law was passed in the U.S. recently forcing the networks to show ads at the same audio level as the programs. Wish they'd do that here.

    When people don't turn the taps off tightly enough in the jacks next to my room,always have to get up and stop the annoying dripping in the dead of night!

    People who ring the doorbell more then once in succession.

    People who use the word banter,bants,bantersaurus or anything involving the word banter!

    When I'm just about to climax and my Nana's face appears in my head. I don't know why. It's as if it's a sin.

    O.k., I'm going to say it before some-one else does. Might as well get it out of the way early.

    Jaysus. I'd class that a little higher than trivial.

    When people feel the need to whine about every little thing. There's a girl in college and she ALWAYS finds something complain about no matter where she is. Drives me mad!

    Learner drivers that put the L plates on backwards. These people want to be allowed drive on the roads yet can't put a sign up properly. Everybody in the car knows you're not capable of driving, its the other drivers you're supposed to warn ffs. I call them backwards learner drivers.

    I saw an instructor with them on backwards a few weeks ago and i nearly lost the plot.

    Subvocalisation, once I became aware of it it started to annoy me. Now I count in my head while reading to try and stop but it still hasn't completely gone away.

    People who eat like farm animals, breathing loudly through their nose and they're ploughing in to whatever's in front of them. And eating with their mouths open.

    The nose of a spoon hitting off a mug while stirring tea/coffee.

    When people put spoons in the fork section or forks in the knives section.

    The sound of liquid being poured. Makes my skin crawl.

    When people don't leave the phone back on the charger so when you go to make a call the phone is usually dead, or can't be found.

    Letters half wedged into the letterbox. This is ireland so when you actually get the letter half of it is dry and the other half is sopping wet.

    Parents who look doe eyed at their little brats while I fantasise about poisoning them for being annoying little fuggs. Bad behaviour is not cute and I don't care they're only a child.

    When a window isn't shut properly and the winds blowing it and making it bang.

    I read somewhere that it's impossible to eliminate it entirely.

    Learning to speed read?
