Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[oldwheels]

I don't like talking about these things in public,but i have to get it off my chest. Plebs who use supermarket toilets to have a number 2 annoy me. Nearly every time i enter the toilets of the local Morrisons i'm met with a vile stench!🧐 Why the feck can't they do what they have to do at home and not where delicate/sensitive people like me have to inhale their fecking stench!!🧐

Edit...I forgot to mention. Not only had the slob stunk the bogs out but it'd also pissed on the floor!!🧐

Everybody does not have reliable bowels with a built in timer.

Just remembered one today as I got the lawnmower out.
My wife wraps the cable round and round the handle...and you consequently have to stand there unveiling it when you go to use it.
I just loop the cable between my hand and elbow, then slip it in the grass box....it unravels and is accessible in seconds, literally seconds.

A former colleague used yo do the same with an angle grinder, he would figure 8 wrap the cable round the body of the grinder...so it takes a minute to unravel it all.
I just wrap the cable round the body of the grinder...and it falls away as you go to use it.
Again, seconds to prepare instead of a minute unwrapping it all.

It annoys me more than it should, it just goes to show, even when you're shown a quick easy was to do something, some people will stubbornly do what they always did.

You've reminded me of another, people who use lawnmowers on a Sunday

Those "chicken & bacon" (or similar) pasta bowls from supermarkets that contain a couple of small slices of chicken, some bacon flakes and a large amount of sweetcorn pieces & tomato chunks as cheap filler.

Per person.... Mister Fiddler approves of this business practice.

Answer is make your own. 😃

The awful and un-musical "clunk" sound of a plastic (CF) frame when it rolls by or the rider on it shifts gears... Drives my singer's ears NUTS...

Carbon wheels are so noisy, I'm just so glad to get past them.

The only times I have ever considered using a public toilet for a number 2 is when I have been absolutely desperate. No one goes in there for a run of the mill daily ablution.
So by their very nature they will receive a bigger share of explosive toilet action.

It makes sense to me, you wouldn't want that stench wafting around your own house, and it saves a few bob on toilet roll.

The retirement thread on here, cos I can't go yet.

The way some A roads have been “upgraded” and engineered the humble bike rider off them. The way some A roads that have been dualled cut really nice cycling lanes / roads in half with no way to get from one side to the other.

Badges, trophies, awards on sites like this. What’s the point?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

In the fens that some rivers can only be crossed on busy roads and they’ve never thought to put in a pedestrian/ cycling bridge to join the far quieter lanes either side.

My lawnmower cable is fine in summer
In colder weather the cable it that little bit less pliable and hence will not unbend properly if coiled up around an arm.
Hence I wrap it around the handle - thne unwrao it by putting the mower in the middle of the lawn and swinging the cable in a circle to unwind it


I think the neighbours think I am a looney
