"Pulling stockings or tights on and ripping them (much like Meli’s binbag issue).
Binbags don't make very comfortable stockings I'm afraid.
They’re excellent for making dresses though. "

"When all the light switches in the house aren’t on/off in the right way  "
Our hallway has two light switches for the lights, and they are both the wrong way....it hurts. It’s been like that since the day we moved in  |

Cling film and tin foil. When you lose the end and that’s it you’re fucked. Only half of it winds round 
And resealable packets that don’t reseal.

People expecting me to say thank you when they say "Bless you" after I have sneezed.
I don't want you to say it. I don't need you to say it. The comment is utterly pointless. Therefore I'm not going to thank you. In fact, I'd prefer you not to.
People sneeze. Get over it

There are the obvious, bad manners and ignorance but the petty one that really gets my goat is toilet rolls not been replaced and even worse been replaced, but put on the wrong way so you pull from the back instead of the front, especially if someone knows about this, opens the roll, writes ha ha on the roll and then rolls it back up before putting it on the wrong way......... ?? |

"Shop assistants talking amongst themselves and ignoring the customer "
This drives me insane! I'm usually a pretty patient character, but if I'm in the 5 items or less queue and there's chatting going on up front, the tutting and sighing quotient goes sky high! |

Checking the doors are locked, the sink taps are closed tight (but not too tight), and the cooker switches and room lights are off before going to bed, and then having to get up and check again because I was daydreaming the first time.

"People adding 'literally' to everything they say."
I know. Some people literally do it all the time.
Its so annoying like i literally want to punch them in the face for doing it.
There is literally thousands of other words they could use instead...

Or continuing to talk to the previous customer about their holiday / what they’re having for their tea when you’ve put your shopping on the conveyor belt and you’re just stood there...feeling invisible. Rude |

When it's a hot summer's day outside and I see lots of guys wearing indy shirts buttoned right up to their collar. Can't stand that. I'm the first one to strip off, even when its raining.  |

Oh yes. And the shop assistants who don’t give you a bag and just chuck your stuff off the end of the conveyor. So you politely ask for a bag; they get one, open it up, and continue to put your stuff *near* the bag, but not in it. I swear the woman in my local Co Op does this deliberately to wind people up. It sometimes seems to take her more effort to place it beside the bag. . Aaaand rant over |

Oh I just thought of another one! This thread is quite therapeutic... When the traffic programme interrupts my music on the way to work - I have no idea how to turn it off!! I start off mildly irritated and by the time it’s interrupted my music for the 10th time on my commute that morning, I’m raging
So if anyone knows how to disable this, please let me know |

Lidl staff who cant get the stuff scanned through the till quick enough.
They are so fuking ignorant. Pilling the stuff up and pushing it to the edge.
One day i pushed the stuff back and told her to either slow down or else you can keep the stuff but you will be lifting it from the floor and you can put it back on the shelf or do what ever the fuck you like with it.

This is exactly what I was saying above! Why do they literally throw it at you? Someone told me they have a target of x number of items to scan per hour, hence the rapid scanning and throwing of item at you .... it’s mental trying to keep up though isn’t it. |

People who leave dirty mugs, spoons or anything really on the worktop rather than putting it in the dishwasher.
People not replacing kitchen/loo roll when they finish it.
Kids who don't switch the Xbox off.

Cold callers who drag out the start of the call when the call is waste of time anyway.
“Hello Ms ______, how are you doing today?” Fine thanks. “Oh that’s good, have you had a busy week?” Yeah I suppose.... Please get to the point, I’m at work, who are you and what do you want?! (Or a slightly more polite version of this)
Then usually (after the protracted introduction): “our records show you’ve been involved in a .....”
Cue hang up on them before sentence complete. Happens at least twice a week at the moment |
