Things That Annoy You

[krizon]

Simmo, when did you become hate-filled? I never noticed any overt rancour in your posts, so you must've kept it well hidden. Which is just a wee bit worrying... Now, step away from the window...

Fortunately, I'm only a minute or five away from virtually all the shops I need, so I do most of it on foot. That's why I like to balance the bags and yes, weight does matter! Otherwise, I try to combine a shop-up on the way to or from Lingfield or Fontwell, not making any special shopping trips. Get the car filled at the same time, too, so it's a pretty good all-purpose outing.

For a change this year i`m not getting the Racing Post delivered. It took me five shops to get a copy this morning

It's easier to get a copy of the RP in Dublin than London, weirdly.

Jules is spot on - pack stuff together, ie stuff for the fridge in one bag, for the freezer in another bag, shampoo & bathroom stuff in another bag - Bob's yer uncle, job done. You also don't hold other people up when you have more than two braincells to rub together so can work out to put stuff on the conveyer belt that you're going to pack together - it's not difficult!!!!

Al - you should realise it's a Bank Holiday weekend so there isn't going to be a delivery come in, d'oh!!!!

Warbler - yup, another one wrong, I am most definitely not an only child!!

 

[krizon]

But best of all, one sends one's domestic on such chores. A shopping bag? A shoppinggg bag? :brows:

:rant: :rant: :rant: Going to the office kitchen to make a cup of tea, finding the previous user of the kettle hasn't refilled it, finding there is only full cream milk, and worst of all (and this annoys me so much I'm putting it in it's own line)............

...............FINDING LUMPS OF COFFEE IN THE SUGAR :angy: :angy: :angy:

I feel your pain. As the only tea drinker at work I find the lumps of coffee in the sugar repulsive.

 

[krizon]

Have your revenge - just open up a teabag and sprinkle the sugar with the contents! Heh, heh, heh!

I don't know what makes you think I'd reduce myself to their level....

 

[krizon]

... of course, I realise you're a person of refined quality (rather like the sugar), dearest cricketfan, but it might defuse what must surely be imminent self-implosion from so much fury. Just LOOK at all those enraged emoticons! Don't they have a tea rage counselling service at work?

 

[cricketfan]

This is my counselling service, the vehicle onto which I vent my rage and furious anger. They say that getting these issues off one's chest is the first step.......







.......... and, yes, eventually I will drop to their level and mix some salt in the coffee jar norty

 

[krizon]

:clap: Thank goodness for that - I thought you were going to try and be calm and rational there for a moment!

That's on a par with finding breadcrumbs in the butter/margarine. :angy:

Another one I agree with. I've taught my two eldest children how not to leave toast crumbs in the butter. I just wish their father could learn :angy:

 

[trudij]

:laughing:


butter / spread in the jam.marmite/whatever topping you have is another one in the same vein....

Friends getting tip for the Chester cup winner ( 14/1 ) before the weekend and all ploughing into it, but somehow neglecting to text or phone me until after the event.

When we all go to Spain next month, I won't be seen anywhere in the vicinity of the bar, that's for sure. :angy:

I almost feel like calling the E.Dead Group over this. h34r:

Bollocks to it. I just check everything in the same bag. It saves time.

No it doesn't! If you pack the food separately into different bags, eg frozen, meat/fish etc, veggies, groceries, toiletries & bathroom stuff, then it's easy peasy to unpack and put away when you get home

I've got plenty of pet hates, most of them to do with driving, and the telephone. I am very rude indeed to cold callers. The other thing that annoys me is men who leave me out of their round in the pub, when I always include them out of politeness - oh and women like me who don't always buy their round in the pub :laughing:

Also people who don't clear up their dogsh*t, and who don't groom or bath their dogs, nor teach them NOT to jump up and lick your face. People who wash the dog dishes with the humans' eating utensils. People whose sofas and cars are covered in doghair.... The dogs don't annoy me you understand, it's the PEOPLE norty

 

[PDJ]

Most of the time I only have enough stuff for two or three bags though. I will not use 6 for the sake of it.

Name pronunciation.

Please note: Maria is pronounced Ma-ria and Mariah is pronounced Mar-riah. The two aren't interchangeable and as such are two totally different names!!

I too was annoyed by that commentator last night :laughing:

 

[krizon]

And the commentator who pronounced 'Viscount' as 'visscount' yesterday - ! And this rash of 'haitches' everywhere. The letter is 'aitch'. It's under 'A' in the dictionary, not 'H'. I get pretty cross when asked to spell my name and the listener starts with 'Haitch'. Back to school, hignoramus!

 

[Colin Phillips]

...............isn't that irritation rather than annoyance?

 

[krizon]

Surely hirritation?

 

[Colin Phillips]

People who say they will do something and you know very well that they won't.

Example : You phone someone, they are not available but "I will ask them to get back to you".................it never happens.

 

[Colin Phillips]

People who state their opinions as if they were facts.

Example : so many of the posts on here.

 

[Colin Phillips]

People (in fact, mostly men) who are so eager to enter into "how high can you p*ss?" arguements.

Example : again, so many of the posts on here.
