Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Theres a stupid article at spectator UK complaining about podcasts ads podcasts are mostly free most of the revenue comes from the host reading out one or two ads .it's not easy to skip 20 seconds when the ad comes on .

Most podcasts are free to download All the YouTubers I watch have an ad before they main video starts .it costs money to make a YouTube video ,or a podcast

In the sun in a sheltered spot feels like summer.

In the shade in the wind feels like winter.

Somewhere in between… spring.

Am waiting on a phone call and jittery af, so to look busy I went to look up the funeral deets of a hyper religious person I used to work with (I missed all of the drama up to this am)

Reading thru all the fawning condolences(almost all address to a single member of the family) as expected such lovely things said about the deceased.

Not in a million years from reading these would ppl guess that this person advocated that two young children be made homeless bc they didn't approve of a private decision made by someone else, as per their personal religious beliefs.

Ta the Irish thing of saying only lovely things about the deceased not matter how undeserved they are. Ta2 that I did that and now annoyed about multiple things I cant control.

Posted last week how happy I was that the management co had gotten the drains properly clean this time and how it impacted the air quality.

"Garden" and paths stink of petrol again! What do ppl have against fresh air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

People who sell crap on classifieds websites, which should be getting put in the bin instead!

Case in point, Mary who sells on my local Gumtree. I use it a bit for selling stuff, but she has been listing stuff for years now, mostly old junk that she should be taking to a charity shop first, or to the council dump/recycling centre second.

It's infuriating seeing sellers like her (there are others too) list stuff...expires, relist, expire, relist, expire .. for years without selling them. She must be a terrible hoarder.

These £5 Sony PC speakers are an example. She's been listing these since before Covid, and they appear continually. Still not sold. She'll die before she sells them ffs

People can give this stuff away on local free cycle Facebook groups. Holding onto junk drives you insane.

True, but they want that fiver for it, and they'll advertise it for 6 or 7 years to get the fiver.

I'd hate to see that woman's house, she has dozens of listing's.

Ive also seem people selling things for £1 or £2. I mean, do you really need that money that badly? Chuck it in the bin.

When cycling on a greenway and upon approaching walkers or runners 3 or 4 abreast - even though i ring my bell well in advance, the look of disgust on their faces always gets me 😣

I don't suppose the 5-seconds rule applies to a full jar of mayonnaise that fell on the floor losing its lid on the way down, does it? 🙄😤

Also, a totally unrelated TA: cleaning up a greasy floor - somehow, it always needs at least 5 or 6 goes of degreaser/detergent before it stops being slippery.

Aldi must've changed their Jaffa Cakes recipe 'cause now they're dire.

I hate when companies do that. They usually advertise 'new improved flavour' that means they are now using cheaper inferior ingredients.

Speaking of recipe changes….Skips crisps… remember as a kid buying these lots when they were made by KP…crispy, tangy and slightly fizzy.. in other words…. They used to be nice.

Had a pack of the new Tayto version of skips..sweet mother of..😏 What I don’t get is if another snack brand wanted to buy the successful product, why do they buy it and then change it to something blandsville & borderline tasteless. Instead of..” this is what’s proven & people enjoy for years let’s keep the recipe “..only fit for the bin.

Wouldn't it be awful if something were to happen to those lovely cream trousers?
