A day of trivial annoyances
I forgot to tie my hair back before going for a walk and it was so windy it was blown either standing on end or across my face so I couldn't see where I was going.
Shopping trolleys that refuse to give you back your euro coin.
Standing in dog sh1t, and having no one else to blame but myself, as I had seen it and intended picking it up after hanging out the washing.
Forgetting to get stuff at the supermarket.

replying to someone's PM and getting a message that their inbox is full

Every time I get in the washing there is a splatter of bird sh1t on something. Every. Fookin. Time

People who make no adjustment when paths are crossing and there could be a collision. I don't understand this. There is an energetic understanding/agreement that happens between two people as they approach each other that allows for us to walk down busy streets without knocking eachother to the ground.
Why do some people see these moments as mortal combat where they WILL NOT walk in anything but straight lines and you better move or die?!

Same kind of thing when one person is going down a wide stairs and holding onto the railing and another person is coming up the stairs at the same time and holding onto the railing. It's like a hardcore game of "I'm not moving over on the stairs and letting go of the rail no matter what"!

when you're walking behind someone and they suddenly stop

being called 'hun' or 'babe'

reminders about being single

when you're in college, working away on the computer or paperwork etc and the tutor/teacher stands behind you looking over your shoulder, very unnerving!

when you're on the phone and someone says bye to you 20 times before you hang up

I'm usually the person giving way, have accepted that and don't mind being one of those people in this world but there's only so much way you can give before you're actually doing a slapstick comedy style dive!

I'm of the same attitude as you! I just think to myself "here, have the right of way. If something so trivial is that important to you, then don't let me get in your way, literally!"!

When you get stuck behind a tractor with a large trailer on a narrow, winding country road.

And said tractor has no rear view or side mirrors

I absolutely hate that. One of my major peeves is someone standing behind me looking righ over my shoulder, regardless of the situation. Just can't stand it for some reason.

KatW4

My mum constantly telling me to get rid of my cat and get a dog, just because she hates cats. It's my house, I can have whatever pet I want!

Game of Thrones book readers' irritating need to mention that they have read the books at every opportunity when discussing the show.

TA I used to hate this at school where during exams, the teacher would pace around the room and occasionally stop at certain desks to peer into people's work as we wrote. She never sat down and continously did this for the duration of the exam. Distracting as ****, my brain would just freeze when she approached. Sit the **** down bitch!

It seems I've developed a strange new habit - making a sort of HUP noise every time I stand up, sit down, pick something up, put something down, throw something, turn around, increase my walking speed or stretch. It's really starting to get on my t1ts.

Secondary TA - dogsh*t on the doorstep.

Also applies to Lord of the Rings readers when the original movies came out..

I read the books:p That being said, as far as the show goes they often completely change things. Like Jamie Lannister being at Joffreys wedding, eh, no he wasn't according to the book. Not to worry, next season won't be based on the latest book apparently.:)

Speaking of LOTR, I had a trivial annoyance after the first film was released. We were getting married and finding rings that didn't have a LOTR theme was a nightmare.

When people pronounce the word 'height' with a 'th' at the end. Also, when people put a 'th' at the beginning of the word 'taught'. Utterly exasperates me.

I read the books long before the show even existed. Just saying. :pac:

Not knowing wtf is happening with buses on Friday. I've a hospital appointment on Friday that I won't be able to get to if it goes ahead and I don't know if I'm going to have to reschedule it or not. If I've to reschedule the Friday appointment then I'll have to reschedule the one on Monday too.:mad:

Hanging out the washing, and stepping into the self same dogsh1t I was moaning about yesterday, completely forgot to clean it up. Serves me right I suppose, but my poor Converse, it's embedded in the sole

Trivially annoyed that I can't wear Converse any more, they cripple my dodgy leg. If only they'd change the insole design so that they have arch support.

Also, TAd that, even though my Converse look good on, unless it's warm weather, my feet always end up freezing cold in them.

Feels like walking on ice when you wear them on a wet day, bloody treacherous on wet surfaces.
