Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Few things worse than a touch-screen that isn't tactile.

touché!​

true up to a point - but I believe tactile means 'perceptible by the sense of touch', which of course is true of the screen itself but not of the operation of functions controlled.

And once you've explained it, they're still confused, but on a higher level ...

Potentially then it's not the student, but the teacher that has the issue, the student my have the intellect to understand the issue, it's the teacher that isn't sufficiently able to explain it correctly.

Vanishing remote control. Animal free house so cannot place blame their. Had the Roku remote yesterday but no where to be found today. Resolution through mobile app so at least I can pass time spinning in doors watching something on YouTube

Sainsbury’s. Specifically the habit, in our store at least, of putting the yellow sticker barcode over the weight of the meat/fish etc so I can’t decide if it’s really a good buy or not

When you're having a needle put in your arm in hospital/at doctor's, and the nurse describes it as "a sharp scratch"... It isn't a scratch, it's a small prick. But they want to avoid the "Yes, but I've got a nice smile" scenario 🤔😁

I sent text messages to 5 people wishing them a happy new year, within a few minutes after the clock struck 12. Not one has replied, as I post at 1.36am!

People who think it's acceptable to make the place seem like Beirut with stupidly loud fireworks at midnight.

Oh I wish I had money to burn to do the same at 6am

Or climate change mentioned at the London fireworks whilst tonnes of co2 is being exploded into the atmosphere.

I fancied either tinned salmon or tinned tuna, maybe even tinned mackerel on a jacket potato for tea, but when I went to get my one large potato out the fridge it wasn't there! I then realised I'd cut it up to put in a slow cooker concoction the other day.
