Little things that irrationally irritate you

People.

You dislike little people? You monster!

Dominic

small fiddly screws,bolts,fixings,clamps,washers ........that you keep dropping when trying to fasten  or screwdrivers keep knocking out of place when aligning
 Buying new things where an idiot or unthoughtful packaging company has put a fucking great sticker or label right across the most important or visible section for no real good reason and you have to spend 40 mins or special solvents to remove residue
...washing machines/white goods etc are infuriating for this
people,especially in building trade who can't seem to have a discussion without leaning a hand on a wall .....usually a dirty hand and a newly painted wall ......imbecillic
.....stand up straight man ....and get your hair cut !

Dominic

Those hard plastic vacuum shrunk moulded shells that you see more and more ....especially on a hard card background used for anything from a razor,toothbrush to car parts and tools 
needless and dangerous use of Stanley Knife or ruin a good pair of scissors to open 
Needless and environmentally unkind

I hear this mostly on live news and weather.  TV and radio - they are both as bad.  "and now for YOUR weather".  

Its not my weather - I don't own it - it doesn't belong to me.  Its THE weather.    

Dont make me responsible for it, I've already got enough on my plate.  

Yes!

Here in the US, almost everything is presented in terms of ownership. As well as "your Monday," "your weekend," and "your weather," we get, "Speak to your (instead of 'a') doctor," "your lawyer," "your optician," "your heart specialist," "your hemorrhoids engineer," etc. It all fills me with a dizzying sense of my own abundance!

Shopping is a good topic.. More piss boilers..

1) People in supermarkets that just stand there and look at multiple versions of the same thing, reading the rear label of the same thing. Pick another one up, yup this one is also a fucking chicken kiev.. Especially when you are waiting patiently just to pick up any fucking chicken kiev into the basket. Why do people have to look at 35 different versions of the same thing? If you want longest use by dates, just reach to the back and grab one.

2) People who push in front of you when you are looking at shelves so you can just see the back of their head. Oblivious to the fact that you were there first or even there at all. or shove their armpits in your face when reaching over to repeat 1) many times.

3) Lottery / cigarette station - Why is it that every time i join a queue for some fags and a lucky dip, there is always some utter div in front who has 45 lottery tickets to check, then want to swap any winnings for 25 different variety of scratchcards which they take ages to choose each one, like its choosing a replacement kidney. They never say sorry after finally finishing , but the assistants normally do at least. Such tards usually smell and have blue hair and ripped clothes.

4) Battle at the yellow sticker reduced section, often a combination of 1) and 2) and evil stares when you get something they had their eye on. I usually offer it to em for £1 profit which is great fun seeing their embarrased reaction.

5) These food donation points in supermarkets. The utter cheek of it from these big corporations. Ive been collared a couple of times putting stuff in before i get to the checkout and play the fool when caught. Its a very satisfying conversation. Otherwise its free food for people that need it from tesco. Well every little helps eh fretboarders?

- TV remote falls from the sofa and trying to pick it up with your feet back to your hands.
- Cleaning glitter from literally anywhere,
- Peeling gaffer or packing tape from the roll and it folds in on itself after you've cut the perfect length
- People who say "PIN Number"
- Getting it on in the bedroom with a date and their little dog runs in and jumps on the bed

I've had a dog shit the bed whilst we (me and the dog and bed owner) were having sex on it. That was my last one night stand.

People can still go to prison for that kind of perversion
That's not my idea of a threesome

Definately that.

Servicemen wearing their uniform to get married in.  Why not just have a day off?  A butcher wouldn't generally wear an apron to their wedding.

Similarly, that it is compulsory for Scotsmen to wear a kilt to any wedding or function they attend.  We can tell you are Scottish from your accent.

Marriage. What's the point in this day and age?

I had to look that one up. Yep - instant clenching of teeth here. It's like those Katie Melua style / mike flowers pops versions of Creep and the like you hear in restaurants.

And seeing blokes in kilts at weddings is tremendously annoying. I get it... you're a proud Scotsman but knock it off with the Brigadoon!

So many boomers in this thread...

There are thousands of things that piss me off but the one thing that's pissing me off more than anything right now is that, try as I might, I can't remember any of them at this instant.

Screws made of Cheese

"Gastro Pubs" if you can't swear freely and don't have a seperate room for the drinkers then you're actually a Restaurant pretending to be a pub.

Wonky pool tables.

Trades that say they'll turn up at a certain time then don't and ghost you.

Brambles unless they're miles from our garden.

Paper cuts.

Hangnails.

Any ineffective product.

Here's this threads theme tune for me...

People, yup, people, especially those who think first world problems are somehow end of the world problems, get over it, move on, nobody cares.

Present company excluded, of course. :0)

Starting a sentence with 'I mean'. It seems to be catching, even newscasters are not immune.

I don't think I have enough energy to be irritated by all this stuff.
