This thread is a continuation of: Trivial things that annoy you intensely.

This sentence reminds me of an annoyance of mine.

Whenever I need to write down the word "spelt" it takes me ages to decide whether it's correct or not. Is it spelt, or is it spelled?!?!? Or neither??

Neither of them seem to look right to me. Though apparently "spelt" is more of a UK usage and "spelled" more of an American one. Both are, apparently acceptable.

The fact that long threads have to be split into different parts.

When two bus drivers from the same bus company, and travelling in opposite directions, stop in the road and talk to each other from their cabs, holding up traffic both ways.

Over-use (or over reliance, should I say?) of the word interesting. I do it a lot and so do some other people - it bothers me. Iike I can't think how to explain what I think of something, why I like it or whatever, so I just say 'oh, interesting' - !

When you've dragged 100 feet of hose to the bottom of the garden only to find there's a kink in it up by the tap! Grrrrrr!

People who add a reply to the end of the thread without either reading the full op or especially not following the flow of the thread and the replies.

When the screams of the latest victim you are torturing make it very hard to watch that nice gardening programme on the telly.

Estate agents who describe properties in a different way to 99% of the population!

A friend of ours bought a house described as a 4 bed house but it isnt. They are happy with it as its big enough for them but its really odd!

Its a 2 bed house thats been tweaked a bit. Originally it had two double rooms but previous owners had built an en suite (exactly over the downstairs bathroom and the same size) but didnt get it plumbed in so the estate agents classed it as a bedroom despite it being too small to fit a bed in! Plus its only accessed via the master bedroom.

The fourth bedroom is a loft conversion which is ok in the middle but low everywhere else. To access that you have to go through the second large bedroom, so again the staircase takes up room in that room and means its not private.

The estate agent suggested that they could put up a dividing wall to make the en suite door be on the hallway. The only way that would work would result in the master room become a small double room, or the en suite room being a box room with a long narrow corridor to it!

I know estate agents have to make properties sound better, but esentially theyve sold a functional 2/3 bedroom house for the price of a 4! If the couple wanted to sell it in the future they would probably struggle as a larger family wouldnt be comfortable with the layout.

Not considered this one until today but when it happened I just felt compelled to yell abuse (even though I didn't).

Pedestrians who cross a road, diagonally across a large, busy light controlled crossroads just at the point your lights go green.

Getting a really nice job, where the people are lovely, but the pay isn't fab -(but amazing benefits - airline)- and then being emailed about jobs that are paying £400-£550 a day....!!! And they are jobs I can do really easily!!!

People who are aware of but don't appreciate your financial limitations. My mom phoned a couple of nights ago and I was relating to her how hot it was last week when I had to take my daughter to the medical center. She said we should have taken a taxi. I guess in her world where they have infinite amounts of money to eat out, vacation in Hawaii for 6 weeks every winter, own 3 cars plus a huge RV, taking a taxi would be a doddle, but for us we just don't have much disposable income and she knows this. I don't expect her to subsidize us, just that she be mindful that not everyone can spend money at the drop of a hat.
