I'm extremely ticklish and it's something some of my fiends find highly amusing. One day in a factory I worked in I mentioned this fact to somebody and another man overheard it. He then went and told everybody and at every opportunity he would creep up behind me and start tickling me which meant I couldn't do the fast moving production line job. I kept politely telling him to stop before finally turning round and shouting extremely loudly 'f*** off and leave me alone'
A few days later he did it again and I told him if he continued I'd stop working and let the whole line f*** up and let the line runner know why I'd stopped working, he didn't believe me on so I just stopped. He carried on so walked away from the belt and let the whole line screw up ending production for about half an hour. The line runner came running over absolutely furious wanting to know what happened so I told her and I was fed up with it, she actually knew he was annoying me but couldn't get enough on him to report him to the manager. It worked and he stopped for a few weeks until he tried again so I just walked away from the belt as he quickly realised I meant it and helped catch up before everything screwed up. I would class that as harassment. Assuming you are female (?) it could almost be called sexual harassment. I would report anyone immediately if they kept touching me like that, regardless of whereabouts.

![]() The best was when he kept asking why I'd split up with a girlfriend. Apparently 'drifting apart due to both of us working long and often conflicting antisocial hours yet still remaining friends' doesn't happen! I must be imaging my own life

![]() Had more vague responses this morning from cruise ship passengers that are here for the day. Me: Is there anything that you've read in your cruise info book you would like to see? Them: I don't know... Me: Do you have any particular interests, such as wildlife, archaeology, walking etc? Them: I don't know... Me: *gives a brief overview of some things to do as a suggestion* Them: I don't want to do that! You're no help! Thank God it's lunchtime

The word "Brufen". I don't know why, but I hate it.
People saying "solfadeine" instead of "solpadeine". There is not an f or a ph in solpadeine so why do people say it that way? |

People who leave all their litter in the shopping trolley when they leave the supermarket.
People who drape themselves over the shopping trolley as they are too lazy to stand. |

The word 'douche' as in douche bag. To me people who use it are just as annoying as those they are insulting!
I have absolutely no issue with c*** by the way. |

You mean he put his hands on you and did it again even after being told not to?
Had that been me the first time he'd have gotten a warning, the second time he'd have been nursing two very painful bits between his legs with my knee imprint on them ![]() There are some instances where you simply don't muck about. Much like how some creep in town the other day found out

My trivial annoyance for now is cold calls. At the moment these cold calls/scams are a real pain and just lately I've been getting about fifteen a day. I've made a note of them all, as advised by my provider, including date and time. I have a spreadsheet as long as your arm for June! I don't answer if I don't recognise the number.

People who answer somebody's question on DS forums despite the fact it's already been answered a maximum of three posts previously. Or sometime even one

When you're shopping online and you click on the 'more details' button of a product and it says ' this product is no longer available'.
Well, take it off your f***ing website then!!

I find this strangely annoying too. I notice old women do it more than anyone else - they lean forward on the trolley and move along as though it is some kind of mobility aid for them. And they meander up and down the aisles with a mostly empty trolley.
I want to be shot if I ever get to be like that....

This is something that pops up on pub quiz machines but is sure to annoy anyone who hates misuse of the English language.
They keep having the same question with a different set of multiple choice answers. The question is: "Chronologically which of these events happened first?" I don't think I need to explain why that makes my blood boil! |

That you now need a pair of scissors in order to comfortably enjoy a 'Flake' or 'Twirl' without a flappy piece of plastic spoiling your enjoyment.

Always getting stuck with the dodgy trolley in shops; the one that you just cannot seem to push in a straight line. When shopping today I was negotiating around the store when my trolley decided to just give up and started veering to the left. It resulted in me having to pull it backwards whilst the presumably broken wheel was screeching along the shop floor. I must have looked like a complete idiot literally having to drag it through the shop

Women's loungewear. I actually hate this term but it's the lack of pockets that annoy me, I end up having to wear a hoodie or dressing gown in order to use pockets, whereas most men's loungewear have pockets.

Self righteous people (usually on twitter) who be outraged on someone's behalf over trivial remarks even when the actual person person involved wasn't actually offended, as with John Inverdale and Andrew Castle.

At the moment, it's continually typing on the wrong keyboard when I've put my laptop on the workstation of my broken PC. I can't stop myself doing it.
