Got caught out a few times, pick them up without thinking only to then throw them away (salt n vinegar) when I get home.

Aldi's policy of mixing different types of a product in the same boxes. I wanted some chocolate peanuts today and even though I pulled the front box out and searched the half-empty one behind, all that was left were chocolate raisins, which nobody eats. Of course, the boxes still look half-full, so those will probably linger there for weeks.

It's the same with the coffee sachets – all the cappucino and mocha ones had gone, leaving only mounds of bloody latte.

People who are terrified of going to the movies on their own

American spellcheckers on every damned computer meaning nobody in this country can actually spell anymore.

With your solid education in the 1920's I am quite sure that you can spell beautifully Aaron!

Another minor annoyance - Sarah-Jane Mee on Sky news - why do they insist on forcing her to wear bloody clothes?

How the letter Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet IMO it sounds and looks like it should be in with the X Y Z's not near the P and R.

Shouldn't that be Aldis insistence on putting the price above the goods to confuse everyone? Or is it Lidl that do it?

Either way it's stupid and they seem to have a habit of placing cheaper goods below some items to catch you out.

I actually prefer going alone.

Work colleague comes in and does a dance in the office every morning and says "Good Morning Beautiful People" !!! Just a good morning will do, Jo, thanks.

I think I'd hit her.

From memory, I believe they always put the item description next to the price so it isn't too bad. I just wonder how they ever manage to achieve any meaningful stock control at all.

Bloody cheek

When seats become available on the bus and the person sitting right next to you doesn't move to them.

Also (on the bus) old people wearing about 19 coats who give me evil looks for opening the bus window next to me. The worst are those miserable old codgers who come over to your seat just to shut the window. Am opening it next time. One window being open out of 8 is not gonna kill you.

I can see both sides of the argument, I get where you're coming from but have you actually counted the coats? I got on the bus yesterday wearing only 18 (the 19th was at the cleaner's) and by the time I got off I had so many icicles hanging off me, I looked like a Christmas tree. Sorry, I'm in nutty mood tonight!!

My annoyance today (being serious for a moment) is people who take a thread completely off topic - not this thread I hasten to add - just so they can slag off another poster or group of posters in this case. Then when the target challenges them they start with the "oh I wasn't having a go at anyone......" not much you weren't!

It's maybe been around for a while but I've only noticed it in the last couple of months. The saying "throwing shade" at someone. I want to scream every time I read it.

The never ending updates your laptop apparently requires, and always when you need to use it. No wonder tablets rule the roost.

"Out on a school night" and "Date night"

Money man Martin Lewis. There's something not so nice about him that I cant quite put my finger on.

When product lines you like get discontinued. Now I gotta search for an alternative, harrumph.

Yes. I know what you mean. I've got used to him a bit now, but at first I found him rather scary. I'm a man, by the way.

People who say 'illuminous' when they mean 'luminous'

A cheese toastie being referred to as 'a grilled cheese'

Groups of people walking 2, 3, 4 abreast towards you on the pavement and not one of them makes an effort to allow to you room to pass

People carrying an umbrella making zero allowance for the size of the fricking thing so it belts you round the head

Stepping on a loose paving stone when it's been raining and water sloshes up from underneath, drenching your feet

Service staff (Post Office, supermarket etc) chatting about weekend plans, discussing their tea/coffee requirements etc. and generally wasting time when they are in full view of a queue of waiting customers - do it out sight ffs!

Checkout staff (Sainsburys are guilty of this) asking things like 'Have you had a good day so far?' Or 'What are you doing this evening?' when all you want to do is quickly and efficiently purchase your bottle of wine and go home, with minimal human interaction!

It being a 'thing' for people to hotly debate ridiculousness like:
Is it lunch or dinner in the afternoon?
Is it dinner or tea in the evening?
Is it a bread roll/bread bun/bread cake/bap...?

Mildly entertaining a long time ago when social media was new. NOT any more.

It's been a trying week

I'm a big fan of the NHS (which is good,as I work for it!) but today has made me a bit annoyed.

Today, I've had a Choose and Book letter for a neurology appointment (should be a maximum 18 week wait) - logged onto the system only to be told 'there are no available appointments in your chosen department'. Presumably, that's no appointments at all within the 18 weeks.

So, I can neither choose nor book....

TV cooks. Not only do they always have hundreds of obscure foods, herbs and spices on hand, dozens of pots and pans (and they use all of 'em) but their kitchens are bigger than my entire flat

The programmes that annoy me are the ones where they say 'you only need 3 ingredients' or something, but then add all sorts of things that are apparently 'larder basics' that everyone should have all the time - butter, wine, onions, fresh herbs etc etc.

My larder basics are lo-salt, black pepper and an oxo cube...

my standard greeting to classmates is "good morning friends and neighbours" now I'm wondering if it annoys them
