People who refuse to drink tap water. It's water. . . . it's safe to drink . . . . why make your life harder?

I went to a Halloween fancy dress party and the host asked what I'd come as. I told him I was a werewolf.
He said "But you're not in fancy dress, that's your ordinary clothes."
I said "But it's not a full moon tonight."
People that cross the road 100 yards away from a zebra crossing. Seriously how can you be that lazy, traffic WILL stop for you there!

I agree, for Halloween I dressed up as a witch in keeping with the theme.
My trivial annoyances are :
-That useless black bar that has appeared at the top of the screen
- Alcohol = the devils drink, keeps making me regret the previous night, I suppose I've only got myself to blame :/
- Spots and how they appear at the most inconvenient times.
Another person who got a huge payout from our company to take voluntary redundancy is coming back. I wouldn't mind so much if it meant I'd get my £2 back that I contributed to their leaving present.

Except for those places where people have died as a result of drinking tap water.

That happened at a workplace of mine a few years back! We had a big leaving do for her, a whip-round for a leaving present, a presentation, speeches, etc., etc. That was on the Friday. On the Monday she was back at work in her old position. She'd been "hired by an agency" to fill her old spot! Mind you, this was a government department, so...
On the subject of leaving, posters who throw a hissy fit on a forum and announce THEY WILL NOT BE BACK. Two days later......

Lol! I know! They pay to have the safest and cleanest water in the World coming out of their tap-yet buy more in plastic bottles that isnt the cleanest water in the World!

I've just had the exact opposite - Amazon delivery was supposed to be next Monday but my parcel has just been delivered. I thought it was a door to door caller of which we get
quite a few around tea-time - consequently I was skulking in the dark in my 'comfy' inside old clothes and uncombed hair. But this one was persistent and so I opened the door and peeped around said door with one crazed eye and VOILA! a nice parcel had arrived. I don't get out much so this was the nearest to excitement I've had for a while
ps I hope you are not still sitting in the dark.
People who say one thing and later on completely deny saying it.
Long story short my mum made a fairly nasty comment about one of my friends after meeting him,now she denies ever saying anything.
Trying to make me look like the bad guy instead.
And the cherry on top of the cake is her saying 'I would never say a thing like that, I do not judge people etc' what rot -_-

The way that I can no longer hit tab then enter to post. (Which I can do on all other forums that I use.)

Do they not have to pay back the redundancy money?
Why oh why oh christing why do websites have to constantly change things for the worse?
A website/company I write for has tablet-friendly-ified their site and it's a blocky mess on desktop, image links are missing and I cannot sign in despite changing my password twice.
Nightmare.

I don't know where else to post this but it fits with the thread. I'm trying to post a new topic but can't because the keyboard won't respond inside the title bar!
Not really trivial but annoying me intensely!

i had that happen to me then hypnodisc told me if you write the text somewhere else (i did it in an email) then cut and paste it into the title space it accepts it and works!!
It worked for me!
Zebra crossings placed right on the corner of a busy road. I don't understand why so many planners think the element of surprise for the driver is necessary.
People who tell you what they're going to do when they go to the toilet. As in 'I've just got to go for a pee'.
Something that annoys me frequently is packets of bacon and cooked meats with the lift up corner and peel back cover. Most of the time it's quite difficult inserting a fingernail to lift the corner, and then when I attempt to peel back the cover it either rips or nothing happens at all apart from the corner bit breaking off in my hand. I'm left wondering whether they do it deliberately just to wind us up.

Totally disagree.
There are only so many zombies, witches and vampires one can take....thank goodness it has evolved to encompass all types of fancy dress now, scary or not.
morrisons chicken breasts 485g per packet and I wanted 500g
ready meals that say peel back lid cook stir and recover half way through when you peel it back the first time it fragments into a million tiny strips

What I find annoying in cases like that is that the person leaving has usually spent years moaning about how much they hate their job, then can't get back quick enough.
