Stupid, insignificant things that really annoy you......
 
Putting a new toilet roll on the holder, and then trying to pull the end off and tearing it because half of it is still stuck to the toliet roll, and then you end up going round and round with shreds of paper everywhere til you get it rolling right :frown:

Every time I open any magazine two or three of those little subscription postcards fall out of it. For some reason they annoy the living shit out of me.

That a pack of bog rolls that used to last the family a month now lasts only two weeks.

The newspaper costs half as much to have it delivered as it does to go out in blizzards and -30 temperatures to buy it at the store but it irritates me when it's not put in the mail box by the door properly.

Cafes that use those horrible individual UHT milk plastic pots. What is so difficult about having some fresh milk in a cafe?

The fact that we are just about to head off out to the photo place to get the OH a THIRD set of photos for our citizenship application because he can't manage to get his bl**dy signature within the white strip at the bottom - aaaaargh!

I'm with you 100%, but I wouldn't say annoy as much as hate, loathe and detest!!!

People who offer to pack my shopping - with no regard for the apples I just picked out specially - you know, the ones without dinks and bruises. And that heavy tins happen to squash soft bread. Drives me absolutely bananas.

I have "packing" issues. :o :rofl:

I wouldn't call that having issues - you're just not a packing incompetent, unlike a good number of shop assistants!! :frown: I TOTALLY relate to your particular annoyance!

OMG totall agree with the packing - if i've nipped into walmart to pick up some stuff and glanced a cheapy top that I think hmm thats a bargain - then you get to the check out and some pleb just yanks it off the hanger and shoves it in.

It might only be $10 but its not a f*****g dishcloth (well not yet anyway!) :frown:

Our potatoes were thrown with huge disregard earlier today in Walmart, daren't say anything to the cashier, I don't think she was having a good day:eek: At least I managed to catch the bag of apples before they landed.
