That reminds me .... in these "unprecedented times" (the phrase itself annoying me) the amount of soap containers or hand sanitiser points that are empty in public places. You'd think staff would be topping them up.
Teabags individually wrapped in foil. Fair enough in hotels, on aeroplanes etc where hygiene is paramount, but I bought a box of 100 teabags this week, and every single one is foil wrapped. Not only is it a pain in the arse to unwrap them, especially if you're rushing in the morning or making a pot and need four, it's spectacularly wasteful and bad for the environment.
The singing voices of Robbie WIlliams, James Arthur, and Mel C Judges such as Cheryl Cole having no knowledge of singing technique but being held up as an expert.
Seeing beautiful dogs on television, falling instantly in love with them and then coming to terms with us not actually owning the animal. The latest culprit was a huge German Shepherd dog on Tuesday night's episode of All Creatures Great And Small.
Pensioners get on my nerves when they are queuing for lottery tickets - I thought most of them were skint. They want a number 3 and two number 7's and take ages to decide what other scratch card they want. The thing that really irritates me is people who press the button at road crossings when there is only one car coming (usually me). If they just hang on a few seconds there will be a gap for them to cross. I exclude people with mobility problems though.
Photo 1. A maths conundrum solved. Which has the most calories - cake or beer? Photo 2. Damn those pesky kids. Always sneaking stuff into the trolley. Photo 3. A clever marketing ploy. Who doesn't have Pringles on their bedside cabinet?
Has anyone noticed that 'super' has replaced 'very' in normal speech now? I was super-tired so I went to bed. These shoes are super-comfortable. That's starting to annoy me.
I once got rear-ended (fnarr-fnarr) while waiting at a pelican crossing for an elderly lady to cross. The cheeky bugger and his insurance company then tried to claim it was a 50/50.
Oh god I can only imagine, I'm dying just reading that. I was wound up enough by an old fella at the supermarket last week feeling up every (and I mean every) loaf of bread for softness. Don't get me wrong, I used to do it to two or three too before Covid but now I just pick one up and hope for the best. He squeezed the entire tray of around 40 loaves which meant that not only was he touching them all but I had to stand there 2 metres away from him waiting for him to finally pick one up and move on.
