So I go round each and every room searching for the darn thing (not checked the bathroom but that'll come soon enough), then check again cos maybe I didn't check properly enough the first place......[nope, not in the bathroom]. All I wanted to do was listen to some tunes without bothering the neighbours but that's shot to sht. Bugger ”

I have a sansa clip too, think I spend more time looking for it then listening to music!

Indeed! How dare they be so polite!!

I don't mind (honest) if we have eye contact and they do that, cos even with Come Baby Come by K7 playing I can still understand/workout what they're saying and thus am able to respond. But if I'm looking somewhere else and they're behind me then they really shouldn't be surprised / upset when I don't respond.

Internet hi5 to a fellow Sansaite.

The microsd card and delete track function I find most useful and will defn buy another when this one (my 2nd) inevitably dies on me.

Someone came to my till today with earphones in and glared at me when I interrupted them to tell them the price and ask if they'd like a bag.

If you're just browsing, fine. At the till, I find it odd.

Using a till = customer is prepared and open to engage.
Using one of those self-service tills = customer just wants to get in and get out with none of that faffing about with a "how are you, oh that's nice, you look well, rains on the way, oh that's a shame" business.
^well that's how I see things, and why I always go for the self-service tills

- small talk at 7am requires more effort than I have available at that time.

Why is it that when you have all the time in the world to sit down and enjoy a nice cup of tea then the thing will go stone cold in the five minutes between making it and taking your first sip. On the other hand, if you've only got about half an hour to drink a cuppa before you have to go out then the thing will stay hotter than the sun right up until it is time to leave.

In the same way if you just want to quickly wash your hands then the hot tap will go from cold to hot enough to melt skin like at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark in the time it takes you to soap up but if you want nice hot water to have a shave or do the dishes or something then it will just go cold-cold-cold-cold-bit warmer-cold-lukewarm-lukewarm-lukewarm-back to cold etc.

Water is a bastard.

People who when driving steer with just one hand at the top of the steering wheel are the worst kind of people.

Haha these are actually very true of my day to day life (Of course nothing changes except your annoyance level, But these things do appear to work against you)

When soap actors/actresses breathe heavily/quickly and think they're conveying emotion or urgency. It's crap!

After I get a shower, I sometimes carry on with my painting and I always think to myself 'I'll stay clean, and won't get paint on me' but it doesn't end that way.
I haven't yet learnt my lesson.

Ear bud wires tangling up really get on my wick. It seems that as soon as I take them out of my ears they're a tangled spaghetti-ed mess. Just now, I took out my ear buds and laid them across my keyboard. Five minutes later, I came back to the PC and picked the buds up and they're tangled to hell.

It's almost like there's an ear bud gremlin cackling with glee as he sneaks out from behind the speakers when I'm not looking.

... and the sock gnomes (are they the same?)

Plus, the bloody little critters who seem to abscond with my tea spoons!

At the self service tills in my nearest TESCO there is always 1 or 2 members of staff hovering ready to 'assist'. It's starting to really wind me up that as soon as I empty my last item from the basket one of these staff members will swoop in and place it on the stack of baskets next to the self service checkout. I know they're probably looking for work to justify their job but can they not wait two seconds to see if a. I'll do it (which I would) or b. until I've walked away?

People who taste food and put the spoon back into the pan- yuk!
People who drink straight out of the Orange juice/ milk carton
People who don't wash their hands properly after using the toilet

Amen. It is especially annoying if you plan to back and get another basket load only to find they've swooped in and pinched it. Of course when something buggers up with the scales they're nowhere to be found.
