Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[classic33]

True

But annoying - Warbies normal crumpets come on stacks of 3
hence the small pack has 6
the same width GF ones come in stacks of 2 - 4 in a pack

and the normal ones are £1.15 a pack
the GF are £2.35 a pack


which is annoying - and there is no "own brand" cheaper option for gluten free

There's these!

We buy the Warburtons 9 packs. I usually have 3 but Mrs W has 2 so often there is one hanging around in the bread crock.
I have asked that this should be raised as an issue at Prime Ministers question time.

Yes - 10p cheaper - I did used to get that make of bread - until "they" stopped the prescriptions - they might well be nicer that Warbies

That is one thing I really wish would get more enforcement.

It is illegal to have fog lights on except in conditions of severely reduced visibility, and while the legislation doesn't define that, the Highway code suggests it means you can't see 100 yards.

And drive at 30 on a 60mph A road!

And drive at 30 on a 60mph A road!

The speed limit on this stretch of the A646 has just been raised to 60 mph.

Quite frankly, I would rather that drivers overtook me at 30 mph going up that climb, rather than 60 mph, ta very much!

Let's add "People who put their child / children inside the shopping trolley as if they are produce".

I don't want the crap from your kids shoes on my produce thanks very much. If it doesn't fit in the seat in the front, it's old enough to walk.

Hanging, drawing and quartering is too good for these people...

Eating 3 crumpets is really annoying tbh.... I know it's trivial but it gets my goat!🤣

Can always put them under the grill 😉

The rapidity with which my classes glasses get mucky after I clean them.

How old are your students? I'd expect fairly quick muckification in primary school but by age 11 or so they should be able to keep themselves clean for an afternoon at least.

I would definitely be prepared for some pushback from parents re cleaning them though. In some places that might be seen as inappropriate behaviour.

Absolutely!!!

I seem to be cleaning mine at least once an hour.

I was wondering if an oleophobic treatment would help?

Ha ha - I didn't spot that. Probably because my classes, sorry glasses are mucky!

The trouble is that there are hardly any Traffic Police, as I believe they were as near as damn it done away with in favour of armed Police, so the bad driving, just gets worse as there is just about zero chance of being caught, I spend every work day on the road, and I can't remember the last time I saw a proper Traffic Police vehicle, there's loads of the DVLA Traffic Wombles, that have now taken to sitting on the now redundant motorway ramps that were once Police Vehicles only, it's like the wild west out there now.

And drive at 30 on a 60mph A road!

Then speed up to 40 mph where the limit is 30 Mph

Ah, thanks: corrected. See, that's how mucky they get...
