Trivial things that drive you mad
« on: March 09, 2022, 17:02 »
 Just got in from my weekly supermarket shop. Decided against the self-service till and as there was no queue at the manned till, got behind a woman who had just started to empty her trolley onto the conveyor belt ready to be next to have her stuff checked, scanned and payment taken. This stupid woman waited until the till operator had scanned the very last article of her shopping before looking for her credit card. First she hoisted a shopping bag out of the trolley and then rummaged inside it for her handbag. Eventually she found the handbag and then rootled around in it for her purse. Then having finally found the damned purse, she fumbled around for a card, changed it twice beore putting in in the reader. The whole episode drove me mad. I know that women can't simply pull a wallet with cards in from their back pocket like we men do, but for Heaven's sake they could at least get their damn cards ready as the till operator is scanning their purchases.

What irritates you?

That woman annoys me, it's not that difficult to put your purse where you can get at it easily.The

My pet hate is my husband's inability to put recycling in the bin, he leaves it on the worktop in the kitchen rather than drop it in the bin outside the back door.  BUT he makes a very good cuppa.

I get very cross when I'm driving through the village a 30MPH and I've got some stupid driver behind me trying to push me to break the speed limit and I keep them there until I reach home as I always revers in the yard so I can see the traffic when I come out the yard

you wouldn't believe how many idiot's stop behind me not taking any notice of me signalling to stop outside the  gate I've had it when some idiot's have to revers to overtake me and then look at you as if you should have stopped at your own gate the mind boggles  :mad:

Yep Alan, those people annoy me beyond belief too, only superseded by the ones who sound surprised when told how much & then start the whole routine of looking for means to pay, as if it’s the first timetheyve ever had to pay.
I get my card out whilst queuing & pop it in my pocket.

My pet hate at the moment is one of the farmers use gas to scare birds, other 3 do not. So it sounds like a car door slamming or a wheelie bin lid dropped in the distance...... >:(

The last little bit on tin can ring pull lid which never comes off and when pulled send splatters of the contents all over the kitchen and you. Especially pleasant when it's tuna or dog food  :mad:
