Our road is lined with cherry blossoms, including one in my parents' garden that's been there since the houses were built in the 50s.
The next door neighbours keep sweeping up all the petals from their (entirely paved) front garden and dumping them outside our front wall.
A) how petty can you get?
there's another 4 or 5 trees within a 50 metre vicinity of their garden
C) it's an exercise in utter futility, it's like a constant pink blizzard for these few weeks every year

Hmmm that sounds very familiar I wonder if you live near me.
On a similar road in a similar situation a person who lives near me received a text from their neighbour asking could they stop their cherry blossom tree from shedding into the neighbours garden as the colour was transferring onto their kids clothes :pac:
Please tell me it is the same situation as surely there cannot be 2 similar nutcases around0 -

I'd get great enjoyment watching them jutifully sweeping them up and depositing them at the wall, only for the wind to pick them back up again ...Our road is lined with cherry blossoms, including one in my parents' garden that's been there since the houses were built in the 50s.

I'd look very disappointed as I lament on how all their hard work was in vain. I might even be tempted to shake the branches of the tree while doing so.

Quickly realise what the problem is once I get inside. 80% of the trolleys had 2 or 3 adults, about 50% of those had a child in the seat part.
Anyway apart from being more difficult to keep distance etc really didn't impact on me.
Leaving the shop the queue has now grown substantially, I know from experience they have an hour wait before they'll get in...all because adults can't do a solo shop.
A year on and nothing learned.
Our local SuperValu is near a school and it has become a national hobby to pick the kids up and bring all of them plus your baby to SuperValu on the way home. So there's trollies, scooters, buggies (sometimes double) and children who in fairness can't be expected to maintain a social distance depending on their age. You don't have space to pass people by so fair enough you're stuck behind but then the people behind you again get irritated and try to pass everyone by. It's just mental. I tend to avoid it like the plague now and it's a pity because when the schools were closed this particular shop was always very quiet and civilised
Also a more general TA is a queue system outside and then inside it's a free for all anyway.0 -

Roz is great. I love the bones of her...:pac:Roz Purcell posting an Instagram picture of her broken leg x-ray. I'm not even on Instagram.
My trivial annoyance: I recently bought a new lawnmower, nothing too expensive. I've done the front garden twice with it so this evening decided to mow the back garden for the first time this year.
After 10 seconds, I was veering towards a certain area thinking "Stay away from there. The stump of that old rose bush is there" yet I just go closer and closer until CLUNK!!! Now, with a quarter of my garden done, I've bent the blade on my new lawnmower.
It's still working but part of the cutting motion is slightly downwards instead of horizontal. 0 -

Without going into too much detail my toilet needed a double flush and a bit of a cleaning with the toilet brush after I used it earlier. I must have brushed a little too hard though as a small bit of water splashed up and hit me in the mouth 0
