Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Dumb euphemisms, idioms, metaphors, whatever the hell they're called, and the general changing of the meaning of words!

For example I'm watching "The Streets of San Francisco" and the episode is called "A trout in the Milk". Cue the mental image of a guy squatting over a glass of milk.

I discovered minutes later though it's something entirely different -


The hell is he on about now! :pac:

Every toaster has this setting. You just need to find the sweet spot on the dial.

this works on the first slice, but then the toasting element is already hot, so the next slice has to be popped a bit earlier (trivial alright! :P)

I was going to ask can you not just pause it (sky plus, etc), but then I figured you'd cry "Sacrilege! I like it LIVE!" :pac:

Oh this is one of mine. Every Sunday when my team is playing at lunchtime me and the missus have the same argument. It doesn't matter that I have told her repeatedly during the week that the match is on:

Her: It's family time. The three of us are doing something together.
Me: But the match is on. I told you about this all week.
Her: It's only a football game. Are you saying you love Spurs more than us?
Me: Well if I'm honest...yes.
Her: Just record it and watch it after we come back.
Me: You cannot record live sport. FFS.
Her: Why not?
Me: Em...well...coz if I do I can't influence the game by shouting at the tv when it's recorded.

Every time my neighbours' daughter pulls out of their driveway after a visit she makes the point of blowing the car horn as she exits their gate, even though her folks have long since gone back into the house after waving her off :mad: wrecks my head! I'll happily admit though that there's just something about her I've never quite liked - that irrational feeling you get about a person - so no doubt that colours my attitude to her aforementioned habit.

So much possible innuendo in one post I have to put down the phone and walk away...

Trivial thing that annoys me?

Having to bite my lip and walk away, go for a cold shower or something

I just hate my neighbours curtains, plain and simple.

They never seem to pull them in the Hollywood films. Another thing you see in films is people stopping elevator doors from closing by putting their hand in. I tried that once and it nearly crushed my hand. Fecking films are misleading. :mad:

Limp handshakes. First time I meet someone, if I get a limp handshake, I don't think "He's a nice guy". I think "Such a weak wrist".

Do it right or don't bother.

Losing a sneeze. And also, when you think you're going to lose one so you look directly at a light to make sure you dont and then you lose it anyway and end up with spots in front of your eyes for nothing.

I want to come to work in your office! You'd keep me amused for hours!

I love sneezing in the office. I'm convinced that's where I catch everything thats going so, as they say, its nice to give something back

There's 2 doctors in my local GP surgery. I made an appointment with the nice one, I had to get some information to bring it to hospital, straightforward enough.

Sitting in the waiting room and who calls me in? The asshole. I just scowled at the receptionist, she said he swtiched me over to him and she doesn't know why.

Now I have to queue again to see the other nice one because I refuse to talk to the mean one. He's so mean and rude and I always leave in tears!

Can't stand getting stuck behind drivers who don't drive at the available speed limit for the road they're on when it's possible but like about 15 km/h slower than it !

For me it's trivial because I know it's not the worst crime ever but I hate it.

Or losing what was going to be a large, satisfying yawn

The house across the road sold some months ago. The people who bought it spent months gutting it and then moved in. Not so much as an invitation around for a drink and a gawk for any of the neighbours. Devastating. Have had to put up with months of building and major revamping and now am brought to resorting to trying to sneak a look in while passing by. What makes it worse is they've changed the layout.

It's so trivial that I don't get to see what they've done but it bothers me immensely.

Or when you feel a yawn coming on when you are in company, and it's only half a yawn and you have to act out the rest of it and really go overboard by maybe stretching your arms, shaking your head from side to side and making some remark such as, oh god that was a biggie.

People who don't use punctuation.

The head cold that just doesn't seem to go away. It's dreadful. I might as well call myself a tree killer now based on the amount of tissues I've used in the past week...

And friends saying: "Well you don't look good, but now you have a sexy voice."
Eh make me a tea or just feck off!:mad:

(It means they don't have iMessage switched on.)

Why would that bother you?

Holy crap. We bought a house months ago, then revamped it before moving in.. Neighbours haven't even so much as knocked in to welcome us to the area..

So, hi. Knock in whenever. Kettles always on.
