I thought we could have a thread to moan about the trivial things that get on our wick...a sort of Room 101...
Like:
People (often youngsters) who step into the road in front of your car making you brake...and then stroll across, giving you a sneer

Supermarket checkouts which you approach thinking it will be your quickest only to be confronted by an "I'm closing" or beaten by a supposed disabled person who make a miraculous recovery and dashes to get in front of you

Some words annoy me: 'glamping' for one... and youngsters who go to 'uni'...

TV presenters on Breakfast for example who turn to each other with sugary introductions, we know who you are - FFS
And weather presenters who spend forever telling is what the weather has been today, we ont want to know what it will be like later or tomorrow

Kids who keep coming onto my lawn. Is your lawn actually the 'rec' ? 😁 |

Ha! Yes - 4th floor of a council block, we don't have one.
Actually, I did use to get annoyed about people crowding the park (Geraldine Mary Harmsworth - the War Museum Park) in summer, and made plans for a system whereby you have to collect a certain number of points by using the park in the winter - before you could use it when the weather was nice: my dog didn't mind, but having so many people there did make our usual games harder to organise. (Well, we only had one game really: me kicking or throwing a ball and her fetching it.) I took to going early in the morning and at night.

Kids who keep coming onto my lawn. With us it's cats, they like to do their whoopsies on top of our lawn. I thought they always buried it but our neighbourhood ones clearly have not had that lesson |

People who won't let go of elderly pets. I know someone with a 15 y o cat, losing blood everywhere, injections, loads of medication. Why not do the loving thing and have it out to sleep? Criminal. Can't say anything really...
If it was a picture of a suffering creature in a Russian zoo, you'd be up in arms...

Nah. It seems a bit misanthropic now. And I liked the place at about 9.30pm in August as well.
A thing that used to annoy me was when you had to take your tube ticket out of the wallet they gave you to put it through the barriers instead of just flashing it at a guard. It was irritating because it was really fiddly, especially if you have bags as well. I used to crumple my ticket up to it would get stuck in the workings of the barrier. A bit daft really and out of proportion. I was reminded of it when I found a crumpled ticket in a book I hadn't looked at for a long time. The date on it was 1990. I keep bookmark tickets for years.
Anyway, you just have to touch the wallet against a reader now and that's fine.

The cat in my Av is 15 now but he's ok (a bloody old sod but ok), but the others we got at the same time had to be put down because of illness, and my dog was as well - more than 20 years back that was, and I still miss her. |
