Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

People standing still on escalators not leaving room to pass them. Cue an 'Excuse me' followed by a bewildered look from the roadblock as you try to walk past them. The ones in Dundrum Town centre are the worst, so slow.

January in the gym, loads of one month wonders getting in the way. Hovering from place to place not knowing what to do. Is there a word that combines grazing with working out? Maybe lazing - lifting and grazing.

How everyone on deal or no deal is emotionally over invested.

Or how the contestant goes to the other losers opening the boxes for advice.

ITS A GAME OF CHANCE. THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE OTHERS BOXES CONTAIN. STOP ASKING THEM.

They have to drag it out, theres a 45 minute show to fill. People have to go thru a selection process for the show. Fair play to Edmunds for trying to drag out every last bit of tension out of it tho even after the person has dealt half way thru and no one cares any more, play on with honesty, blah blah etc.

When I'm sitting at the window seat of the train (the nice newer ones), and have my arm rest, and the one in the middle (which is not being used) down. Then someone comes and sits beside me and just lifts it up like they were there first and they own the seat

What can you do in that situation without looking like a total weirdo?

Dan - "Eh sorry I liked having that down actually"
Stranger - "Oh but you weren't using it"
Dan - "I know... it's just I think the boundary between us makes me feel safer...."
Stranger - "....."

My dad is 50 years old, he's a college lecturer, and he calls his shoulder-bag his "school bag". I know it shouldn't drive me cracked, but it does.

Item number 56948 on "the things that annoy you when you move back in with your parents" list. This ****ing masters better be worth it.

Worse is with classes being booked out due to a couple people who want to try the class deciding they need to convince a whole gaggle of their friends to come with them, even though the friends have very little interest in the class and giggle most of the way through it.

Be thankful he's not sporting a "man bag" trying to look trendy and "down wiv da yoof", screams mid-life crisis!

Practising makeup when I'm bored; it looks perfect.

Heading out; messy. It doesn't matter how much time I had to do it, it's never as good.

Constant tuk tuk badgering in cities in Asia when walking down the street or especially after just jumping out of one.

"You want tuk tuk sir" / "tuk tuk" / "hey, where you from my friend" / "tuk tuk here sir" / "you want to see x temple, just 2 dollars"

Argh!

Somehow managing to overlook the 24 hour clock on our timer for the central heating and setting it for 4am instead of 4pm, then sweltering in bed as too lazy to get up and switch it off, even though I was too warm to get back to sleep. Bloody 24 hour clock:mad:

People who beep their horn or wave to you and you wave back.Then you realise it wasnt meant for you.

When driving and doing nothing wrong, someone beeps you, you give them the finger, and then look and see your cousin waving at you.......

The use of the word "Rock" as an everyday verb. Seems to be getting more common these days.

"I'm rocking up to Tesco for a litre of milk". It gives me visions of people wandering around doing air guitar.

When someone calls in a favour and you have no plausible excuse to get out of it, so you have to do it. Bang goes my Friday:(, ah well at least it's for a good cause.

Checkout people who make comments about the stuff you've purchased as they're checking it through.
"Ohh, I just love these chocolates too"
"I really love the smell of fresh basil"
"Multi-pack of condoms? Someone's getting lucky tonight"

When the girl you have been seeing wants to have a chat "about us" which means you are about to get dumped. Pretty sure i will be on the receiving end of that chat this evening!

Sometimes that's a chat about making things more serious or at least discussing where its heading. Don't know which you'd prefer, good luck though! :pac:

How people use the dyson hand driers. The instructions are on them. Put your and in and slowly bring them out yet people insist on plunging their hands in and out at super speed thinking that it speeds up the process.
