[Closed] Little things that annoy you but really shouldn't

People commuting on the train during the peak travel periods of the day who spread everything they have over the seat next to them. Selfish and ignorant eejits. Still, it does make for an entertaining game of standing there and making them clean it up so you can sit there - even if there are spare seats elsewhere in the carriage. Worth it just to see them huff and puff as they look around the carriage to see spare seats that you could be sitting in, but know that they are being a complete ****wipe so can't complain. Best thing about it is that they usually end up more uncomfortable than they could be if they had only been a bit more considerate in the first place.

Middle lane drivers on the motorway who move over onto the inside lane when you come up behind them only to move back into the middle lane once you have passed them (and the inside lane is clear as far as the horizon). What's that all about then??

[i]Women should leave it up, men should leave it down, logically next user is probably different gender [/i]

Dudes, just leave the seat down. Even when you go for a wee. Everyone is happy then.

I'll tell you what really pisses me off.

When you walk into a shop and see someone coming in behind you so you stand there and hold the door open for them and they just sail past without a thank you. Really - is it THAT hard to acknowledge the fact someone showed you courtesy with a simple 'thank you'. Still - serves me right for living in Harrogate with all these old rich women hanging around everywhere.

never got this never left the toilet after having had to lift the seat up and felt the need to go and complain at someone for this extra effort. Why is this such a big issue to women ?

People who are proud of the fact that they never read instruction manuals and then spend all their time asking me how something works.

People who automatically assume all kebabs are unhealthy.

People who ignore the person in the wheelchair I'm pushing and ask me questions instead.
Disability and stupidity are not mutually exclusive, but they are different.

Atheists who belive in the paranormal.

People who claim to have a phobia about feet.

All of the above . . . and those flinkin' annoying adverts over there ---> 👿 I appreciate they are a source of revenue for the site but FFS I only popped over to the Halfords site for a little light entertainment - I don't need a £149 Apollo . . . oh and I haven't got, never have had and never will have a car so why would you want to buy it?!!!!!!! Sorry STW but other sites are available where I can browse a thread without being constantly bombarded with worthless ads relating to the content 😡

On the plus side, this thread has cheered me up immensely. Is it just me, or does other people seething with rage make you chuckle?!

mamadirt - 3/10, must try harder. To be fair, it's not stw's fault that the networks buying their inventory have piss-poor behavioural targeting categories, for whom "mountain biker"= "someone who would ride a bike labelled 'mountain' regardless of weight, construction or functionality"

As an aside to the mods, I'm guessing you do also sell ad space on the basis of having a reasonably affluent (discretionary income), very discerning audience for not just bikes but some cars, tech products and suchlike?

Genius bit of marketing, surely? You're a laydee, and probably spend time getting your hands dirty with maintenance or riding. QED!

Men who bitch about the small stuff in life as if they are the most important things in the world. 😈

Ourmaninthenorth can I suggest you also stop eating breakfast cereals, pastries, cookies, breads, rolls, toast, cocoa products and coffee as Acrylamide has been found in these though at lower levels.

It is no harder for women to put it down than it is for us men.

I only lift it as a convenience, I can stop if you want?

Why is this such a big issue to women ?

I think it's a communication issue. They say "seat" but they mean "lid." Closing the lid makes vaguely logical sense (especially as I have a shelf of Small Things above the throne). My concession to the seatists is to shut both.

No it's not. It's either new OR improved.

+many, I've been saying this for years. Plus, it means that all this time you've been using old and inferior.

Pedants, see above.

People who read a thread, voluntarily, when it's obvious from the title that it's going to be full of pedants, and then complain about pedants.

Ooh, I know.

Kenco do coffee in 100g and 200g jars.

They now do 'eco-refills' for these jars. In 150g pouches. WTF am I "filling" exactly? It even boasts on the front, "new 150g size." It's a refill you gobbins, I don't want "new size," I want "same old size as the jar I'm damn well refilling."

Honestly. First against the wall when the revolution comes, I swear.

Can't you refill the large jar when you've used 75% of the coffee?

Just sayin like

supermarkets are hilarious

people who leave their trolleys at the end of the aisle as they wander off:
getting upset when you take stuff out of the abandoned trolley 😉
getting upset when you put extra stuff IN the abandoned trolley

it's not [i]theirs[/i], it hasn't been paid for yet...

my ex-wife used to go spare when I put stuff in a line down the middle of the belt instead of piling it up to fill the entire conveyor. It takes exactly as long to scan....

w*nkers in petrol stations who wait till they can use a pump thats on the same side as their filler cap.

[b]THE PIPE IS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE OTHER SIDE YOU F*CKING ****[/b]!!! and don't give me that b*lox you car is too high etc etc, just pull forward more 😉

in addition to the above, our local tescos has one of the greatest inventions of the last 100 years 'pay at the pump', SO why do evenmore ****s still go into the garage to pay???????!!!!?????!!! (and no they dont go in to get a paper or a sandwich cos ive watched them!)

Art therapists, I know they mean well, but if I have to do another potato print, or another collage using just tissue paper and matchsticks(hardly Kurt Schwitters is it?) or weave another 'kin basket......Frankly I'll just implode.
