Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

In the cafe at feeding time, people eating sandwiches with cutlery.

I once witnessed someone eating a single fresh tomato with a knife and fork.

I've got one of those 'multisize' jar and bottle opening thingies, don't know how I ever coped without it.

You just reminded me that I had bought a rubbery gripper pad for that job. I haven't seen it for a couple of years! I will go and have a look for it...

PS I just found it, hidden at the back of a kitchen drawer!

You should see the looks you get if you ask for cutlery at McDonalds!!!

Why, never been there

Why, never been there

I think it's because that's what the chopsticks are for

People who occupy the front seat on the top deck of a bus and spend their time playing with their mobile phone instead of using their privileged position to observe the world around them.

It's worse when they do that on the front seat of the Copenhagen Metro, when they should be concentrating on driving the bloody train. Are they trying to kill us all?!

Videos that open on Facebook (etc) with the sound muted. The sound icon does not appear until they start running and by the time you've clicked it you missed the first few seconds of the audio. You then have to go back to the beginning of the video.

I can’t believe it. I was just about to post the very same thing! It’s been driving me nuts for a while now.

An example to us all.

I once saw somebody eating a banana with a knife and fork!

I have done that - but only if it has a sauce on it

not custard obviously - that needs a spoon

During my spotting says, when someone was sat in just the right seat on the train... But was reading a book or something (I remember once observing a grown man reading one of the early Harry Potter books whilst doing this, but he was holding the book in such a ridiculously prominent way that he made sure that we could ALL see what he was reading).
I have never ever read any or seen any of the films fully through as a result).

I have always wanted a cattleprod. 😆

Yes. It made him happy when he was blue.

And that was only because the heater had stopped working...

There are very few grounds for reintroducing capital punishment, but that is one possible exception.

Perhaps they're driving the train with an app?
