The irony, giving out about little Johnny rearranging a few bottles in a shop and then your own kids singing about dirt knickers on public transport, nice. :P

This is not a thread for casting judgement, it's a place to air your trivial annoyances.

They were singing innocently about them because she told them they'd been soaked through in the rain. And presumably this singing kept them occupied during what would otherwise be a boring trip on public transport. We all remember what it was like as kids and time seemed to go on forever on boring journeys. Not quite the same as throwing shop products all over the floor that some poor bugger will have to put back up as soon as they've left.

Do you have a massive complex about having a brat of a three year old and an inability to parent them properly, or something?!!!

I never realised singing a song was naughty behaviour. That's me told! And they were wet, not dirty

A recipe I am making calls for '2 small leeks'

How do I know whether the leeks I have are small, medium or large?!

The pop up Christmas shop that just popped up beside where I work. Full of overpriced tat. What a waste of space.

I agree. Leek size is entirely subjective.

No, I agree with you, my trivial annoyance is people judging other peoples kids when their own kids are usually far from perfect.

Luckily mine are perfect so I don't have to worry about that

By the by, I was judging the brat's mother more if that makes you feel better

Middle child started school this year. I got an email invite from the mum of one of the girls she is friendly with inviting her to the kid's birthday party. And her email signature is 'My God is more than enough'. If their friendship continues, she is going to be top of the list of the parents that I can't wait to get to know!!!

Come on people, do I have to explain everything to you? Just check the labels, that's where they usually tell you the size... :rolleyes:

People who walk through the office or canteen with an unlit cigarette already between their lips. Really like, are you that stretched for time that you can't wait until you're outside the door?

It's not the size of the leek that matters anyway, its what you do with it.

Deceptive socks. Socks that feel ok at first, but then fall/roll down ypur ankle when youre out walking.

Fally socks. Nothing worse.

Thanks I think it went well (had to fix my hair though because of the wind - I think I was subtle enough waiting out side to do that though )

Whats the official ocd position if the leaf sticks to the window a third time ?

Do you clear it away since 3 is an uneven number and it means youre going to die, .... or do you have to clear it away and then stick it back a fourth time before getting rid of it since 4 is an even number and means everything is going to be ok.

OCD because it was the one thing out of place and it kept happening, I was probably more annoyed then anything as I just cleaned the windows and it was ruined already. I do tend to do things in threes funnily enough but I don't have proper OCD

TA - The stigma and misunderstanding around OCD.

Can't quite think about any other mental illness that so many people joke so easily about having.

Whenever it's stormy, lots of rubbish ends up in our front and back garden, newspapers, packaging material, etc. I always wonder where it comes from.. like do some people leave the lid of their bin open or something? Annoying having to clean up other people's rubbish anyway.

When you go into a takeaway and ask for battered mushrooms yet the foreign staff don't understand even though it's displayed on the menu.

I got out of the car to go into the shop and promptly stepped into a deep puddle.
I was wearing mesh-fronted Nikes (just been to the gym) so my whole foot was soaked.

Also annoyed that I'm so hungry and waiting for carrots and broccoli to cook takes FOREVER.
It's all I can do to stop myself stuffing my gob with crackers, cheese, biscuits, toast etc.
This is where a colouring book would come in handy for me; take my mind off the waiting but the other TA thing is that the book I ordered hasn't arrived yet

Thankfully I've never heard anyone saying they are a little bit schizoprehnic or the like. If they do, I think I may slap them.

I think all mental illnesses experience their share of stigma and misunderstanding, and the big TA with schizophrenia is people using it in a way that is related to a split personality which it really isn't.

Grr.

All the bandwagon men love that.
I'm too annoyed to post but feel compelled to contribute. So yeah, you are dead right
