Petty annoyances
Jump to: Newest in thread
Here we go again.
What small seemingly insignificant things get on your nerves.
How about trousers with very small belt loops making it all but impossible to use anything but the thinnest belt.
Which is fine if you are nice and slim but us more rotund fellows using a thin belt look's like a sack of potatoes tied up in the middle with a piece of string! |

The 'middle-lane' drivers obsession. How people now feel so entitled to get up their backside, undertake them or hurl abuse at them. Or just slalom in and out of the left-lane regardless of the chaos it causes for other road users.
Part of me is waiting for one of them to undertake someone at a junction, waving their angry fists, whilst they get crushed under a lorry joining the motorway. It's nearly happened a couple of times. |

I’d rather just see middle lane drivers off the road tbh than see someone get frustrated and hurt. Middle lane drivers are shits  |

Also (I'm on a roll now) if you want to chat to several of your mates in a supermarket get out of the damn way. We know you haven't seen each other since Tarquins bridge party but for the love of god discuss the fall out away from the biscuit aisle. |

Living in a tourist town this is a particular dislike of mine. It's lovely to be on holiday with all the time in the world but the residents need to get places. |

I know this all too well. I used to live in Newquay and it's a sodding nightmare when the weather was decent. Absolutely rammed all day and night. Thankfully I didn't live there long, but long enough to do my head in.
Seems to be tons of them in Plymouth too. The amount of times I had to walk in the road. Now I just stare and walk straight ahead. If they don't move, they get walked into. Elbows out. 😂 |

People who walk right behind you, like a foot or two distance. Went to cross the road yesterday and some bloke was right behind me! Either trying to steal my wallet, something in my rucksack or rub his cock on me.
Either one, I was having none of it. Told him to fuck off. 😂 |

Were you in the same Waitrose I was the other day, when this actually happened? A group of 5 people blocking the end of one aisle for so long a staff member actually told them to move (because everyone else was far too British to say anything) |

It's mood dependent. Malted milk are a good all round biscuit, chocolate covered if you're feeling frivolous. Rich tea or digestive are an excellent every day choice but dark chocolate digestives cannot be beaten. I know this because I had plenty of time to mull it over while Tarquins mates were huddled in front of them 🤷♀️🤣 |

They are annoying, but being even more annoying and dangerous isn't really a step in the right direction either. 😆 |

Another driving related one….people who are in the wrong lane at a roundabout. Not just by one lane as well, as I can accept that as roundabouts can be confusing especially in cities. But when they are 2/3 lanes over to where there exit is and cut across the roundabout to make the exit instead of going round again |

Mine would be look up the "national speed limit sign" so you know when your entering one.
Then learn what speed you can do safely.
single lane carriageway 60 mph
double lane/dual carriageway 70mph.
Most i seem to follow leave a 30mph or 40mph and stick at that speed  |

Yeah, they're the ones! All of the different types are so good. There's a couple I haven't tried yet, but I'm ordering a large selection box from Amazon, on payday. 🤭
Well, not too grateful lol. |

It is. Ok let me ask you a question. If the left lane was clear and the outside lane was clear, but some annoying person was in the middle would you.
(a) Undertake them in the left lane
(b) Get dangerously close to them and flash your lights till they moved over.
(c) Overtake them in the outside lane |

Lack of manners 🤬
Giving way to other road users and they don't acknowledge you, let alone say thank you
Letting another road user out at a junction, it's called being polite, just an FYI!
Holding a door open to others and they just walk straight past like you're invisible
Saying good morning and they look at you in horror like you've just shot their mum! |

I said to two women who were in front of me meandering, stopping and generally faffing about "what's it to be ladies?". They were genuinely shocked that anyone was behind them on a busy street they were so wrapped up in their conversation, which I thought was rather nice, annoying but nice |

mirror signal manoeuvre, overtake safely in the overtaking lane , ie right handside lane.
whilst undertaking ie left hand lane is illegal it is permitted if your lane is travelling faster than the lane to the right and you proceed/stay in your lane |

What if it is a road where 'destination laning' is the norm?
In a lot of places it is something which makes sense,particularly where all 3 lanes are limited to 50mph.
Some roads actually are signed to encourage it and there are others where regular users do it because it makes sense on that particular stretch.
Destination laning. You heard the term here first! |

We used to have work trousers supplied and the pockets were so small you couldn't get your hand into them unless you were standing up, so everytime I got in my work van with the key in my pocket I had to jump out, and we need pockets for stuff while working even getting a small phone out was difficult and the belt loops were to small. |

Absolutely.
I do a lot of driving and the biggest pandemic in the country is Moron driver's who thinks the rules of the road are not applicable to them.
Red light jumping, tailgating, undertaking even on roundabouts, speeding just dangerous reckless driving that puts more than just their own lives in danger.
The standard of driving in the country in the last 5 years has dropped massively.
I just stay out of the way,if people want to drive like lunatics I just let them.

People with 59+ items who look back at you with 1 or 2 and don't let you get in front of them.... You'll still be loading your shit and I'd be gone.
People who don't read profiles because they are long but expect to fuck. My profile is shorter than a fuck or phone conversation/play session. if that's to long then we definitely aren't compatible.
People who let their dogs shit everywhere and don't pick it up. I'm sorry you have a human sized log from your mutt but don't have a dog if you don't want to pick it's shit up. |

I was trying to return something to a retailer today without a receipt
I wasn't happy with their policy - no money back, no credit note, no gift voucher - just basically 'if you find something of the same value, you can have that instead'
At the side of me the girl on the check out was saying to each customer "would you like a receipt?"
Most declined, as I had done
When I pointed this flaw in their policy, the manager just shrugged her shoulders at me
That fucked me off waaaay more than their offer of an exchange |

Middle lane drivers just love creating traffic jams. It's why they do it. It has nothing to do with their inability to drive in the correct lane or their entitlement to drive in whichever lane they want to or even that it is a self proving fact they are bad drivers. They just want to create traffic jams behind them. They compete with each other to see who can make the biggest |

To be fair; a tip for all you fixed-cap haters, you can pull the cap and snap just one of the connectors so that the cap is still fixed to the bottle (your recycle conscience can remain intact), but you now have far more movement allowing easier recapping! |

Few pet hates…… people who drive at 35-40mph in a 50mph zone on a perfectly good road with perfectly good driving conditions and then still put their foots on the brakes going round corners at 35-40 mph….. to spot down further grrrrrr….. that they could easily do at 50
People that are soooooooo slow in the isle at supermarkets and take up the whole isle with their trolley, body or both. So, you can’t get by. Grrrrrrrrr
People that procrastinate while standing in shop doorways …..Grrrrrrrrr

When people don’t indicate turning left at roundabout causing you to stop unnecessarily
When let someone out or through and they don’t acknowledge
Both these things really aggravate me |

"Mine would be look up the "national speed limit sign" so you know when your entering one.
Then learn what speed you can do safely.
single lane carriageway 60 mph
double lane/dual carriageway 70mph.
Most i seem to follow leave a 30mph or 40mph and stick at that speed
There are loads of roads around here where the speed limit is 60 mph but where it is absolutely not safe to drive at that speed…."
Historically, speed limits applicable have been related to things like what the street lighting is or isn't, rather than simply the obvious nature of the carriageway.
Now there seems to be a bit more involvement with reality, but by no means universally. |

Drivers that tailgate, they have no intention of overtaking, they just sit on your bumper.
After a while I gently rest my left foot on the brake pedal, not sufficiently to apply any braking, just enough to make the brake lights come on. You can usually see the bonnet of their car dip down as they brake, it seems to do the trick as they nearly always drop back to a sensible following distance. |

"Multiple people taking up the whole path in a row, when they can see someone walking toward them. And dawdlers. 🙄
Living in a tourist town this is a particular dislike of mine. It's lovely to be on holiday with all the time in the world but the residents need to get places. "
Had this with four groups of people today. They were all separate groups walking behind each other. Stop your conversation for 30 seconds and take a step behind the person you're with. |

"Radio adverts. I change to another station every time, when they're at their worst around teatime I must change stations 10 times an hour"
Haha the Expedia one with the bloke screeching “boost your credit score to space” on at the minute absolutely does my head in I’ve been close to booting the wireless down the street |

"Undertake them. If I'm in the left lane and it's clear ahead, why wouldn't I use that lane?!"
I've lost count of the number of times I've undertaking someone in the middle lane. I'll add I was following the Highway Code as the right hand lane was moving slower.
I have made a point of going from left lane to middle lane overtaking on right then all back to left lane - all safely. Not that they got the fucking clue. |

"Undertake them. If I'm in the left lane and it's clear ahead, why wouldn't I use that lane?!"
Although not strictly illegal, undertaking is strongly discouraged by The Highway Code, stating “do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake.” However, there are exceptions that apply when a car undertakes in slow-moving traffic if its lane is moving faster than a lane on the right, ... |

"Toilet rolls the wrong way round.
The loo roll should have a beard and not a mullet."
This really gets on my tits. Housemate does it the wrong way every sodding time and I have to turn it around. Also he never replenishes the stack of rolls when there are none left.
Always up to me, to do most things to be fair. It does piss me off, but rent is super cheap. 😆 |

a village near Haywards Heath in East Sussex |
People who do not shut the cafe or restaurant door after them when leaving . It's left slightly agar and causes a draught.Someone has to get up and close it properly .Followed by hot food served on cold plates . Even at a dinner party I have asked host for my plate to be warmed up if I feel cold plates being used . |

So the same as being a middle lane wanker then? Not strictly illegal but discouraged by Highway Code AND there should be a bigger campaign by the police... it simply clogs up motorways |

"When getting served in a shop/bar/cafe/restaurant and the person serving you doesn’t tell you the total price of what you’re buying.
They just point at the card machine.
Seems to be the norm now."

People that slow down to let me out of a side road, now I’m aware that are probably thinking ‘ oh I will let him out do a good deed for the day’ however they are throwing the Highway Code in the bin and inviting a phone call with the insurers, just go about your day, ignore me, you haven’t seen me, I will pull out on my own accord, not risk damaging my car, I’m not late and even if I was you have right of way, nothing to see |

And also hot air hand dryers for those that do wash. Paper towels are far better |

"People who have no concept of spatial awareness when in a supermarket and just randomly stop in front of you "
How about those 'elpful 'usbands who are supposed to be pushing the trolley whilst the wife is efficienly and systematically going from trolley to shelf and back again with items.
Hubby then leaves trolley and wanders off randomly coming back with something and asking wifey "Djoo want 'one them'?".
No, she doesn't (and it's 'one of these' anyway) just get back to slouching over the trolley handle, you moron. At least then we can figure out your intentions. |

"The 'middle-lane' drivers obsession. How people now feel so entitled to get up their backside, undertake them or hurl abuse at them. Or just slalom in and out of the left-lane regardless of the chaos it causes for other road users.
Part of me is waiting for one of them to undertake someone at a junction, waving their angry fists, whilst they get crushed under a lorry joining the motorway. It's nearly happened a couple of times.
I’d rather just see middle lane drivers off the road tbh than see someone get frustrated and hurt. Middle lane drivers are shits "
On SMART motorways, these middle lane drivers become 3rd lane drivers.... very annoying! |

The annoyance could disappear if overtaking either side became officially permitted.
It is in some countries, with no ill effect. |
