    In-ear headphones getting tangled up in my pocket.

    Weetabix crumbs getting everywhere no matter how careful I am when getting the Weetabix out of the packet.

    vaccum cleaner hose.

    Is it a sign of madness if you swear at the hoover and kick it when the hose gets all wound up and turns Henry over?

    thought so.

    You know when you drop something small and go to pick it up and it slips from your fingers and takes about three or four goes to actually pick it up again? That.

    And when the tea bag flops back off the spoon and splashes tea everywhere.

    If it wasn’t so little, it wouldn’t annoy me 🙁

    Or when you have a really tricky small nail to hammer in – you *just* get it in place and are about to hit it when it falls back out. 👿

    But there are plenty of reasons to be annoyed by me.

    I am little though.

    You’re a douchebag. I love folk that get annoyed about that and I intentionally wind them up. I can sense them getting all anxious behind me, despite there being a 6 foot gap behind my shopping that they could put their goods on.

    Who here makes very elaborate movements to say ‘Look, I am doing this for you, you lazy feckless idiot’ as they reach across said person to get the ‘next customer’ sign.

    Not that I do, not ever.

    Sometimes I just put my stuff down on the belt and watch a Mexican Standoff developing. They usually cave when they go into a blind panic that they may accidentally end up paying for my stuff.

    yes but the conveyor belt will stop at the next customer thing, thus ensuring that the checkout person doesn’t carry on beeping all the stuff through when they should have stopped.
    That’s what they’re for.

    Think about it.

    When you finish your coffee, forget, then go for a swig, the disappointment is overwhelming.

    I too hate sniffers.

    It’s even better when you pile your shopping on behind someone elses and they haven’t put the next customer thing down. I can feel the pulsing of the vein on their temple.

    My perfect topic – here goes:

    +1 Hoover hose
    Litter
    Picking something up for it to fall over again, then pick it up again and it falls again – at that point it normally gets booted across house.
    Computers running slow
    iphone auto text thingy
    Our newborn baby screaming – i know it shouldn’t but it grinds on me
    Work related – folk in change management jobs who dont understand anything technical relating to the change so you could tell them anything.
    Rear mechs – the little L and H that you can hardly see
    Bluetooth – everything to do with it
    Printing from Computers and resizing images etc
    Onion Skins/Garlic Clove Skin
    Those Halifx isa isa baby adverts
    The Lloyds TSB adverts – all of them with their shitty music
    The Barclays bouncy castle adverts
    Traffic lights that sit with all lights on red – or on green when there are no cars there.
    Pot holes
    My mother in law

    Thats just a start!

    EDIT:

    Automatic doors that are really slow to open, so you have to stop and wait for them

    Yep +1 for that too

    Do you decant the butter using the butter knife then spread it with another one? 😕

    Or when the last mouthful has gone cold because you left it a tiny bit too long.

    Ahh – that explains a small corner of British Culture I had never understood. Some people put the supermarket thingie on the counter, some don’t – what is the proper form ?? One should do it, but of course one should never under any circumstances speak about it, if another person doesn’t, instead display lots of sniffy body language ?? Bit like waiting in line for the bus then.

    what will happen though is that the checkout person will make the mistake that I described earlier, then what will happen is that your items will need to be removed from the other person’s transaction before they can pay for it and you get your turn.
    Which will just mean that you spend quite a lot longer at the checkout.

    Wow you’re a genius.
