An empty milk carton in our fridge.

Why, son? Why would you drink it all and put it back in the fridge? There's a bin next to it, ffs.
Drinking straight out of cartons which are for the whole family to use,is unhygienic and disgusting anyway!

People who park at a petrol pump, then don't buy any fuel. Just go in to buy shopping.

Greengrocers or stalls where they can't spell tomatoes or potatoes - they've put tomatos and potatos. Or people who spell the single versions tomatoe and potatoe.
Some put apostrophes in as well!

Front page of todays Telegraph is the headline "Family devastated by Cornwall surfing tragedy"

Shouldn't that be Cornish?
Not necessarily. If was Yorkshire would it be Yorkish?

I'm getting annoyed by my cat. I'm always nice and affectionate to her and she never wants to sit with you or see you. She spends her day (every day) at a house that a middle aged old couple live in and when it gets to late evening they bring over MY cat to the front door (cus obviously its a horrible fate to be in my house/sarcasm).

I think she gives this couple all her niceness and when she comes home she doesn't give a monkeys about seeing me. And yes I know cats are fickle but my other cat sits on your lap,purrs ,follows you around he at least gives something back. Really fecking annoying since my lovely original cat left the house one day and now people at the end of my street have pretty much stolen him and I don't see him,ever. I don't want this to happen again.

People talking about having a duvet day. eg: staying in bed all day. What a waste of time! IMO duvet days are only for those who work night shifts, are very unwell or only just married!

Duvet days, or the even more cringeworthy term "PJ days", annoy me for the opposite reason. People talk about them like they're a dirty, little secret of theirs. If I could lie in bed all day everyday, I would. I'd have a duvet life.

...baby on board,princess on board,cheeky monkey on board signs in the back of cars...what's the point ??..one is hardly likely to moderate one's driving because of them...unless it's just a public statement that they've managed to procreate...which,if it is,is just a teensy weensy bit sad...

When its near xmas time and the supermarkets display big boxes of biscuits that look so tempting. The problem is they are £5-£10 and you know that out of the whole box realistically there are only about 4 types that you actually fancy and the rest are just filler.

They never seen to sell the best sellers from the boxes in a normal pack for around £2 though. The only time i get the really nice biscuits is if someone has a box and then usually the nice ones go first!

My annoyance is not so much with the motorist, but with the fuel companies who've allowed mini supermarkets to be opened in their forecourts.

It just encourages people to go & do mini shops whilst buying fuel, thus delaying those who only want to buy fuel & get out again.

Ginger sodding biscuits - There are very few rules at PB Towers but one of them is that ginger blooming biscuits should be quarantined and be kept in a separate tin to the other biscuits. Imagine my disappointment when I went to grab a chocolate biscuit and somebody has put ginger flippin' biscuits in with the chocolate digestives.

I now have a tin of gingery chocolate digestives, marvellous.

I agree. I don't believe in duvet days at all. It seems like a waste of time and an excuse to be lazy. In fact I would never spend all day wearing pyjamas unless I was sick and I rarely get sick.

I worked from 13.00 until 3.00 Friday and Saturday and am working 19.00 until 2.00 tonight.. do I qualify for a duvet day without being lazy?

When I go to take a baby wipe or a Flash wipe or the likes out of its packet but can't find the edge of the top one to pull it out and end up pulling a whole bunch out.

It's actually a safety feature. If there is an accident the emergency services etc will know to look for a child.

I can understand that and Baby on Board signs are fine but what I find tacky are "Princess on Board" type signs. Those are probably just used to show off.
