Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Managed to drop a piece of orange peel into green bin and it slid down to the bottom. Managed to get it out eventually with a grabber.

Putting your Tax, Insurance or NCT on the windscreen. The holders are really tight and you have to magically bend the disks in, that's of course if the holder doesn't peel off in the process.

There should be a separate thread for food and drink related TAs

Ham/Cheese packets where the product is lined up away from the opening, so you have to open it all the way or try take the slice on the bottom

Anything 'resealable' that isn't a ziplock is basically worthless

"Remove film and put in oven"………takes 20 mins to get rid of all the film

Deli counter where they don't put the food on in the order you tell them (had some dope put the mayo on LAST the other day)

Sandwich shops where they don't listen to you, "I said a LITTLE butter please, not enough to replaster the sitting room"

Selfish saps who think they're the be all and end all of everything. Fella in work come in and switches the radio to a different station every morning. He'll wait until nobody is paying attention, then changes it to the one with the cash machine. When someone goes to change it back it's all "hey, people were listening to that!". He'll take his break/lunch earlier than anyone else so that he's first back and gets to put what he wants on. The entitlement.

Should have bought the balsam tissues over the regular ones last week. Have a cold here … me poor nose

'Reply All' should be disabled for company wide emails.

We may have worked for the same company 😂 😂 😂

Had a window guy out to look at seals on doors and windows and tighten windows.

A week later hands me a quote for replacement french door . When I questioned this he said they dont make seals for the door you already have anymore . The house was built 20 years ago so now because there is no man in the house I dont know if he's telling the truth or pulling a fast one !

Hate dealing with tradespeople

Or ring another PVC place and ask them can you get seals for your type of door. At least you will feel informed.

Ads ripping off the Stranger Things theme tune to piggy-back on its popularity.

I keep getting spammed with ads for a new band, the music is identikit ST and the singers sound about 12 years old. Call me cynical but I am nearly certain the whole thing is an AI generated cash-grab.

The annual pearl clutching over Minister's heading off for Paddy's Day.

There is a pot hole near us that cost us car axel alignment problems. It's still not filled in. A child with a sandcastle sized bucket could fix it. But meanwhile innumerable cars get damaged. The beauty is that it creates damage that you can't immediately associate with the pot hole so it gets a free pass.

Worse still, it seems to be affecting your memory, giving you ZERO recollection of similar posts you've made. 😉

AI sh*t. Apparently, Darron Aronofsky is doing an AI-animated War of Independence thing. There's a trailer and dear God is it atrocious. It's just a sequence of establishing shots that each last a few seconds. It's like a jigsaw with half the pieces missing or a drawing of a dog with no legs. It just looks wrong and tech companies are desperate to shove it down our throats.

I'm reminded of that scene in Deadpool 2 where Cable growls at Deadpool for destroying the planet. Of all the things to make ecological sacrifices for, AI slop seems a particularly poor choice. Meat and air travel I understand, but this?

I've had to unsub from so many previously interesting Facebook groups because they've become dumping grounds for it as well.

There is one near me that cannot be avoided if there is a car coming against you. It is not too wide but is plenty deep, a real nasty little boneshaker. They fill it in and in a week to two weeks max it is completely gone back the way it was!

a sports retail business not answering the phone, 4 attempts from 2pm, on hold an age.

I want to check stock / sizes at my nearest shop…no way of doing that online, no email only a customer form but if they haven’t people to answer the phone efficiently it’s unlikely they’ll have anyone to reply to messages efficiently. So just have to go there and see tomorrow morning. Be bout a 80-90 minute return trip.
