Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

When the smell of an eggy fart in a packed pub hits your nostrils - makes you want to heave.

Strumms · 19-05-2026 05:40PM

looking at accuweather to see when’s a good time to get out for some exercise this evening in between the rain showers… about 30% of the forecast page is adverts, if that wasn’t enough then a pop up advert interrupts my reading of the forecast as it also blurs out the entire rest of the page, I go to close the box by tapping on the ‘X’ and it takes about 25 seconds and 7/8 taps before it responds..

It’s probably getting to the stage companies will be making you watch or listen to advertisements before you even can flush your own toilet or start your microwave…. Ffs

Yep, also inutterably stupid behaviour. Often with a baseball cap on under the hood too, just for good measure.

The "half day, is it?" brigade when you try and leave the office, like, seven minutes early. Always accompanied by a self-indulgent little smirk. Eh, kindly fcuk right off, I don't report to you. And in my experience it's nearly always men for some reason.

Try Netweather Radar. Much better graphics and no ads.

"No - a half day would mean leaving at 12.30pm." is the best retort.

I just give them a "Yep, see ya!" and a giant cheery wave.

Pricks.

Strumms · 19-05-2026 07:56PM

get an Instagram notification… it’s on my ‘For You Page’ that The Corrs are coming to Abu Dhabi. 😵‍💫👀. Which let’s face it must be the most spurious notification I’ve ever received on any social media, ever.

I’ve never listened to or been interested in the Corrs. Don’t follow them on social media.
I’m not in, never been to, have never even been interested in going to Abu Dhabi. Don’t follow it on social media.

So fück knows how or why I’m getting so much crap on my once favorite app that has nothing to do with my likes, follows or interests…. Well I say fûck knows but we do…💶💶💶💶💶💶💶

People not taking off their backpacks when getting on a packed train and then bashing everyone with the bag when they move. Take the bag off and put it between your legs on the floor.

In Lidl yesterday at the till, I had all of my groceries up on the belt. The man behind me leaned over towards my stuff, picked up my bottle of Miwadi blackcurrant and asked did I mind if he read the ingredients? Weirdo.

My TA is that he then proceeded to read the ingredients out loud to me and tell me what he thought of each one, at least two of them were "poison" and "why are you even buying this??".

My double TA is that I was too stunned to tell him to fcuk off and mind his own business.

The pr!ck, I was raging with him AND myself for the rest of the day.

miamee · 19-05-2026 09:35PM

Third TA is that I am so annoyed again now after typing all that out 😡

I always think of the air hostess with the guitar in Airplane when I see people doing that.

Ah Lidl a new source of TA's for me. Local store have just installed 8 self service checkouts. The TA is that they are all card only!

i am so sorry. that's a frequent TA (not trivial at all really) of mine

freezing in the face of someone like that overstepping social norms or crossing lines - and the second I get away from the situation I am livid at myself

ugh. I'm pissed off for you, that is insane behaviour

TA tonight is I just realised a show I love has been removed from the streaming service I just signed up for. was looking forward to rewatching it

At least they no longer put the Championship play off final on the UK late may bank holiday Monday afternoon!
That used to majorly annoy me.

We'll have our revenge in June :0

RiderOnTheStorm · 20-05-2026 09:24AM

TA'd that Alexa , who knows my location , has taken to giving me weather forecast (for what its worth) for the capital. It used to give me local weather , but for some unknown reason it has changed. I love & hate technology sometimes!!

When a radio presenter or podcast host says, at the end of their show, "I'll see you tomorrow"

Duvet Day · 20-05-2026 10:59PM

I'm just showered and tucked up in bed but I've obviously forgotten to turn off the bathroom light and the fan is still running…directly under my bedroom. I'm wrecked and just can't go back downstairs to turn it off but the continuous low sound is driving me mad…small little things can be the most annoying annoyances. 🤪

I switched our bathroom fan off at the mains about 18 months ago because certain people in the house never turn the bathroom light off and it would just run indefinitely. The fact that they feel the need to switch the bathroom light on in the first place given it's bright at 5am these days has me at an absolute loss, tbh.

The new tax disc arrived this morning. It's always a stressful operation trying to separate the disc out of its perforated page without ripping it in the wrong place.

Boards ads, its either women looking for company or tai chi or now fungus is a parasite and it dies from a drop of plain ……. Absolutely nothing. I’m a podiatrist, a drop of BS fixes nothing. Inane ads do my head in

I've had alternately what looks like vestments for priests & "glamour" type ads for women's lingerie.

I feel like I'm in a Father Ted episode!

We had a power cut for a day. When it came back the ventilation just ran continuously for some reason. Flipped the trip switch as well.

ANPR anybody. Been around for decades.

The Continental Op · 21-05-2026 11:05AM

Ordered some spare parts for the car yesterday. Just noticed that one is out for delivery, which is good. What is trivially annoying is I can't do anything with it until the other part arrives on Monday.

I'm TAed that anyone thinks that's the solution. I'm the nosey £$%^ that wants to know if my neighbor has paid motor tax. It would TA me if I couldn't judge them if Discs went away.
