People on quiz shows who introduce themselves as being a member of mensa.

Im catching up on the edge and im on an episode where a contestant introduced herself as a member of mensa with a high IQ and shes got no end of simple questions wrong!

Up here in the north we all hold hands ready to jump off together.

When old women refer to everything, from fried fish to microwaves, as beautiful. My mum does it all the time. She got a new vac and told me it was beautiful. I don't get it.

I try not to be too 'London-minded', but come on - everyone else stands on the right. You can see everyone else standing on the right across the horizon in front of the enormous escalator. One long, gloriously unbroken line of people standing on the right. There are even clear signs (diagrams?). So why do you stand left, Mr. Tourist?

'Stand on the right, walk on the left'. Transport for London get myriad things wrong but that mantra is beautifully simple and effective. Do Spanish and Italian people dawdle around like lobotomy outpatients in their own country's transport hubs, or just ours?

I stick the junkmail the postie delivers back in the post box like you would any incorrectly delivered mail.

Amazon, constantly trying to force me into using their Amazon Prime service.

Every purchase I make; it is there, without fail - like the turd which will not flush. Try Amazon Prime? No thanks. Try Amazon Prime? No Thanks.

Then I get letters, and emails. It's starting to feel like some sort of Hitchcock nightmare where every man and his dog is trying to force me to use Amazon Prime.

Knob off.

The fact that I have to change from tights to socks at about 10am - if I stayed in the former, my legs would become uncomfortably sweaty.

Tapping something on your phone or tablet only for the image to alter just as you do it, meaning you end up on a wrong page.

The neighbours have started burning things in the garden already

Whenever the weather turns nice, they start cutting branches off the trees in their garden...then cut them with a skill sewing for hours and hours...and then burn what they're not using as logs....they burn the logs at night in their garden.

I have to shut all the windows and race out to bring in the washing

I can't spend time outside in the garden enjoying the weather or the peace and quiet without their (succession of) dog(s) barking...someone shouting at the dog "BACK, *NAME OF DOG*!"...the sound of the skill saw...the burning...the constant burning

Perhaps I'll do that in future. Trouble is that it would just make more work for the postman rather than putting a stop to the crap in the first place.

Same! Shoved it straight into my new stainless-steel Brabantia.

They have been pushing this service for what feels like years.

They put up the price for free delivery then spend shit loads on printing letters and plastic cards that are just going to be binned.

Usually just walk up them like stairs if there is no one in front as some places don't have real stairs, Hate them anyway and want to get off them quick

If any of my junk mail has a reply paid envelope, I stuff it with the rest of the junk mail and send it off to them.

This is one of the few 'everyday infuriations' that I thankfully never suffer with. No idea how the PPI boys managed to miss me as I bollocksed up removing myself from the edited Electoral Register for years.

A friend of mine however has been driven to distraction with his work, home and mobile numbers being deluged time after time.

When you squeeze more cream/toothpaste out of the tube than is necessary.

my car insurance.

for some reason, changing my occupation between "bar staff" , "bar steward" and "barmaid" affects my quotes by a good few hundred pounds!

When you decided to defrost the fridge over night but forget to place a big-enough drip catcher and so wake to a soggy carpet and thus you will spend the next day a nervous wreck as you wait for an angry knock on the door from an irate downstairs neighbour who is pissed you flooded their flat.

When I was a child growing up, my pants were patched and had holes /wear and tear in them, mainly through playing out.


Today my adult childrens pants are patched and torn/worn at the the knees.......... they paid good money for them ?

As a frequet visitor to London, I often get bumped in the cross over from right/escalator, left /walk , seem I just dont move quickly enough !

This alternately makes me laugh and infuriates me. It's not even as though it's a good look
