Yes, that annoys me too. I was always told to have the handle of the knife against the palm of my hand. I can understand people holding their knife like a pen 'cos they don't know any better but how do they use a fork like that? My parents were very strict about table manners and I was NEVER allowed to turn my fork over to shovel up peas and the soup bowl should always be tilted backwards not forwards!

That my Darth Vader Lego Alarm Clock didn't come with a cape when my Superman and Batman ones did. Makes him look kinda naked and/or like a Baby Vader, though for 7.50 GBP I'm still happy with it.

If an "RIP group" is what I think it is, then what do you expect?

Well the thread title does say trivial, so here goes.
I cannot stand the word hubby, fortunately my wife feels the same way, so I'm sure that she'd never describe me that way.
She said that a woman she works with said, "My hubby this or that", my wife said to her, "Where do you live, in the 1930s?"
When I was a black cab driver I abhorred the word cabby, it conjured up (to me), an image of an old man in a muffler, with a snotty nose, dripping mucus on to his drooping moustache, and driving a horse drawn hansom cab.
I was sitting in traffic one day in Charing Cross Road when a guy appeared at the n/s window, he said, "Cabby, can you take me to Lincoln's Inn Fields?"
I didn't even dignify him with a response or a glance, I just stroked the accelerator and kept going.

And "fur babies" to describe animals. *shudders*

Since when were Boots shop's pc screens big, now they are bigger..i took my camera disc into Boots shop today and was gonna print some photos off..The screens now are huge so all can see/view your personal pictures( its embarrassing as i have all moon and selfies on mine ) Will have to sort out the camera as i was getting confused which ones to do, as they haven't got numbers etc on I had about 33 to print, which come to about £12 summat, but just had a tenner ready..anyway will go through the camera over weekend and see whats on it, I like looking at them

Never done that, always printed my own.

Posters who cannot detect or understand a flippant/facetious throwaway comment and give a straight laced reply questioning it.

You can load photos onto the Boots website and have them printed and sent to you. I did that for a photo album for my mum and dad's 60th anniversary.

for me any post with a smilie, even a , is taken to be a light-hearted bit of fun.

Sauce sachets.

You need about 4 of them to cover a small sandwich and are near impossible to get in to without scissors. When you finally do manage to make a hole in them they back fire and you manage to squeeze the contents all over your jeans.

and...

The cling film you remove when you open up a new item such as a DVD.Once you have peeled it off you are left looking like a mad man as you waft your hands and shout 'get off me!' over the kitchen bin as the stuff clings to you for its life.

When you're on a diet and you stand on the scales and have put on 0.2lb

I know exactly what you mean. Those pathetic Heinz ketchup sachets are awful, they don't tear properly. The last meal I had (dining out with friends) we ended up with about 6 unopened/scuffed packets over the table cus neither of us could open them.
Eventually I had to pierce them with my fork which is risky as ya don't want ketchup on your clothes. What's wrong with a ketchup bottle?

My annoyance atm is I've seen a lot of performance art today and I'm still not sold on it. Seems like an excuse for artists to act weird and is lazy art imo. And then for them to slag off paper based art/sculptures cus they're 'static/boring' well that rattled me.Like doing a 10min performance of wearing odd clothes and touching the room/objects is better and shows more talent than a detailed,interesting painting? No.

Not saying all performance artists are like this but the ones I met today had a ('we are superior' type) attitude and it irritated me.

Shops not bothering to put a sign up saying they're shutting down (or their opening hours). Newsagents a few doors down has been shut since Christmas Eve and all stock removed. Folk have been trying the door since New Year as folk thought perhaps the staff were taking a holiday break and redecorating, but turns out the owners retired on Christmas Eve and have sold the business. They could at least have put a wee sign up saying 'Thank you to all our customers over the years. The shop will reopen soon. Blah blah blah.' or mention it to you when you're in getting your paper.

When you are at a celebration or similar eg new year and being served a meal,to have people at a near table blowing up balloons then letting them go so they spin out of control. OK good fun but when they land near you and spray spittle all over you and your food as they do a bit unpleasant.

Please somebody tell me I'm not a killjoy as my friends and family seem to imply.

As I said to them 'would you like someone to spit in your dinner?'

People who buy themselves a necklace/bracelet/watch and then say "Look at what my little man bought me hashtag amazing hashtag best son hashtag proud mummy."

Yes. I'm sure your six year old went into Pandora or HM Samuel, plonked a fifty on the till and asked the sales girl for something proclaiming my mother is not only a female parent but a beloved mate too.

Those really handy plastic clips which are used for sealing closed packets of frozen peas etc. Where do they go? I don't throw them away, they have only one place to live and I live on my own, so where have they gone?

People who introduce themselves on the phone as Mr or Mrs. I've just heard two on Radio Two's Sunday Love Songs. It just sounds so naff.

I have noticed a lot of the above in work lately..They visit the loo, pull the chain and straight back out, back to their pc keyboards etc...disgusting people..I wonder if they do wash their hands though, if they eat something, have a break, back to what they were doing..some of these people are doctors ..also people who go out for a quick fag , back into work on their pc's again..all that bacteria everywhere, germs on the keyboards

rant over, but you can't really say anything

People blowing out candles on cakes and then expecting you to eat a slice when it has their gob juice all over it.

Just curious, but what on earth does anyone do with 33 selfies?

they weren't all selfies...random stuff, of the moon, me, and my niece..i want to print them off and put them up on the wall so i can see them..i mean why have photos all on a camera or pc when you can view them just now and again, best way to do it is to pin them up on my wall by my pc ..have a Muriel wall type thing Lol( i take a good picture anyway )

I haven't seen it but I'm already hating it.

-Men on dating sites who just wanna message you to talk about sex or how big their dick is. How desperate.
And I did write on my profile 'no pervy messages please' or something like that.
Also when someone messages me and they live in India for e.g. I'm not travelling out any further than the region I live in and have mentioned this on my page.
Those messages go straight to the bin.

-Staff members who can't do their job properly and tell you misinformation.

-Idiots who park their ugly, huge 4x4's on the edge/corner of the road so ya can't see any of the cars wanting to drive past.

-Sudden changes in weather, as it makes my eczema flare up.

The company may have gone into Liquidation? It may have been a small family owned business that have been told they have no money. Im sure they have more important things to think about than a sign.
