Reminds me, when my brother and I were teenagers and he asked me if I wanted something from the shop. I said "ye get me a kinder bueno". He paused and looked at me like I was fcuking mental. We had a big fight over it. It turns out that because the bars were behind the counter that he couldn't ask for a Kinder Bueno because he didn't like saying the word "bueno" and it was a "woman's bar". He came back with a Yorkie for me

Mods, can you please change the thread title so the number is in chronological order? That way Lisa and myself are happy and you get to be trivially annoyed that you had to change the thread title on the trivial annoyances thread. Seems like a win-win situation to me.

having worked in a shop part time for a few months, my annoyance is folks not saying please, thanks, or kiss-me-a*** . A little manners goes a long way, like looking at the person that is serving you
....

And the converse of that is from being a customer in shops since forever, I regularly get no interaction from the person that is serving me! I'm naturally friendly person and having worked in the hospitality sector I'm only too aware of how ignorant people can be so would greet and thank people all the time, but after the initial hello from me until my final 'thank you' I regularly get no words at all from the person serving me. I would make a point of asking how much is that to see have they even notice I'm there!

And then there is the 2 people having a chat behind the till and don't even break off while one of them is serving you...

Living in another country where people pretend (yes, pretend!) not to understand my word for something when it's not the same as theirs.

Examples -

Queue - they say line-up, I say queue - they get all "I'm sorry, what?" - Come on FFS, queue is a word defined in the dictionary, it's actually way more relevant than line-up.

Holiday - they say vacation, I say holiday - but they get all confused looking when I say, oh I'm on holiday next week. FIGURE it out!!! I know what vacation means, why can't you figure out what holiday means.

I used to have this when I lived in Spain and I'd say an English word that they would use (like Rugby for example) and they'd frown and look puzzled when I pronounced it the way it is pronounced, but then I'd pronounce it with the inflection and accent and they'd all suddenly understand and repeat it 'their' way so I could learn how to say it 'properly'!!

Them Fekin murricans all the same.

But they are the most hospitable people I have ever come across. Even beat our own.... Ta'd about that.

CLOSE THE FÚCKIN DOOR!!!!

1. If the door was closed and you had to open it to come in, take it as given I want it closed when you've come through. Assume I also want it closed when you leave.
2. Swinging the door back so it's almost closed but still an inch or 2 ajar is not closing the door after you.... In fact, it's worse than leaving it fully open. It's like you've accepted it should be closed, but you just can't be arsed with the tiny bit of effort that would require.
3. You shouldn't look back surprised when I've walked to the door after you left it open and slammed it behind you.
4. JUST CLOSE THE FÙCKING DOOR...... Please.

When we as a race have put men on the moon and invented driverless cars among other things, I can't believe we still have hoovers and lawnmowers that make as much noise as they do. Very annoying.

My OH forgot to take the tissues out of his pockets before putting his clothes in the wash

hate when that happens!

Hate that! I washed a shopping list in black jeans pocket a few weeks ago, white fluff everywhere. Hadn't happened in ages since I found out that Balsam tissues stay intact, so only use them as tissues now

My trivial annoyance is people using the auld "sure didn't we put men on the moon" to moan about technical problems.

Get that sorted out or you'll be walking back shortly. Is there enough oil in it?

There wasn't! I got myself to the shop and bought some.

Which leads onto another annoyance. I was in a busy carpark with my bonnet open, an L plate on my car and although everyone had a good look, not one person asked if I was okay. I was fine to be fair but what if I wasn't? I couldn't walk by someone like that without making sure that they were okay. Maybe it's just me but it really annoyed me!

KatW4 · 14-11-2015 07:49AM

Promised myself a long lie in after a week of work and late nights with the musical. I woke up at 6am and can't get back to sleep. An earthquake wouldn't wake me on a morning I had to work though. Why???

one thing I can say is don't expect other people to do for you what you would do for them. I know they should in theory but people often are selfish and too caught up in themselves to care.

''If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.

Rain rain go away, come again.. Never, you insufferable arse.

If there's a user called Rain rain, I probably don't like you either, so you can bugger off too.

They are Vacuum cleaners, not hoovers, that's my TA:D

The OH went out almost 2 hours ago to pick something up in town, said he wouldn't be long. I asked him to pick up eggs and I'd make pancakes. I've been saving myself, and am now like a dog with hunger. I'd need a shower myself before I'd be fit to step out of the house to go to the shop, if I knew he was going to be this bloody long I'd have got my act together ages ago. The rage

Why do babies wait until you have them washed ,changed and dressed before they do a big poopy nappy:(

fussyonion · 14-11-2015 12:43PM

Woke up with a dull, aching headache.
I had some red wine last night, but it's wine I've had before and I didn't drink any more than usual, so I was a tad surprised to wake up to a headache.
The other TA thing is that it took FOREVER for the painkillers to do their job.
