People who say that it's payday weekend when the Friday is the last one of the month.

There are people whose payday is the last working day of the month (like me).

Also:

That stupid countdown to kick-off that they're doing before the matches at Euro 2016.

I thought we got rid of that after Euro 2012, when it was universally panned.

The endless hissy fits of the the Remain camp. Please confine these to the the Politics thread so we don't have to suffer them.

Those ring pull cans of food - especially beans.
Impossible to open without getting splattered lol
I'm completely the opposite there - there's one brand of beans that still has the old style tin that has to be opened with a tin opener, and these days I can barely remember how to use one, never mind the deadly serrated edges they produce... I'd much rather have a ring pull

" CHEER UP! IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN!"

When people say "I'm visiting Ireland" and then proceed to talk about a trip to Belfast. Hmm newsflash that's in Northern Ireland. They use two different currencies, you are classed as abroad when using your phone in actual Ireland. They have completely different road signs, the police are called Garda in Ireland. They are not the same place!

When I use a tin opener nowadays they seem to also detach a string of the label that I never notice until I'm pulling it out of my food!

Having said that, it really annoys me when I have a ring pull tin that's particularly stiff and then the bloody ring pull just comes right off! I don't have much luck with tins these days... At least the corned beef keys seem to be a thing of the past!

Aw, I reckon a lot of people say that but I can't say it bothers me...

I'd sooner deliver a slap to those who insist on saying "England" when they mean Britain or the UK...

Maybe not trivial, but people who can't accept how the EU vote went, and still go on about it. Let it friggin' rest already.

Yeah, someone said that to me the day after my Father passed away. I could only blurt out a "yeah, it already did though" and didn't have the energy to punch the cow.

The worst thing is that people who insist on saying "Cheer up" (which I would never dare say to somebody when I hadn't a clue what was going on in their private lives) usually have the most impassive/resolutely non-smiley face you could imagine!

Those hard, crusty bits that always gather at the nozzle of your shaving gel can.

When I moan about some things and I sound like I'm about 80 years old (I'm in my early twenties).

For e.g when I go out with friends they always pick the trashiest most awful clubs to go to (majority rules sadly). The clubs play god awful modern rap/r n b music - which I don't think can be considered music really. I mean I don't mind some old skool r n b/hip hop with some tight harmonies/ beats but the stuff they play now uggh, I usually leave early.

Then friends give you a look as if to say 'oh don't be a wet blanket' well if they'd pick a halfway decent venue for once maybe I'd stick around longer!

The endless pious moaning about the remain camp having a hissy fit by the leave camp.

Leavers would have been screaming Farage's line about 52:48 being "unfinished business", moaning about postal votes and extended registration deadlines until the end of time if the result was reversed.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is not trivial - and (very sadly) it can never be beaten.

I wouldn't, but I'm not going to enter into a political discussion here. As I said in my previous post, this topic belongs in the Politics forum. Please don't bother me with further replies as I will ignore them. Passive aggressive smiley right back atcha

Therefore, my annoyances of the day are people who knowingly post in the wrong thread/forum. And people who use smilies inappropriately.

Dianne Abbot, I just want to smash my tv when she appears. The way she acted on Question Time on Sunday night was embarrassing. But now I have to see her every time I look at the news. Jeez
