There's been temporary traffic lights on my route to work due to roadworks for weeks on end, doesn't usually bother me but we always seem to approach them on red and I usually can listen to a full song on the radio before they change to green! The roadworks are set to continue for another god knows how many weeks as well. I don't know why they take so long to change. There's not even another route I can take to avoid getting caught.

^I miss living real close to a chippie. Gone are the days where 5mins after feeling peckish I'd be walking back from the chippie hugging a bag of 2 sausages + chips or, when I wanted something a little special, hugging a bag of mini fish and chips whilst munching on a large battered sausage.... om nom nom nom nom. (why can't things ever stay the same, dammit)
The trivial thing I find is that there are two Chinese takeaways within a 5 min walk of each other, one of which does amazing food but only serves chippy chips (it's a chinese/chippy hybrid) whereas the other Chinese has sub-par food but amazing chips so I have to traipse between the two to complete my dinner

I have two chippies, an Indian restaurant, two pubs which serve amazing food and a hotel within a 30 second walk from my front door. Its dangerous stuff!

^are they close together allowing you to put in your order in one place and while it's being cooked/microwaved you can send someone on a cracker run to the other ?

Leslie Mann getting parts in comedy films. She is totally unfunny and her whiny little girl voice grates. I'm watching The Other Woman right now and can't believe how bad she is.

The bus i used to catch home had a half way stop between the two ends and one of the afternoon buses used to stop there and the driver would switch with another driver. Presumably that was the end of one shift and the start of another. Most of the time it was a simple switch but depending on the drivers it could take anything from 2 minutes to 20 minutes if they started chatting. |

Greedy scumbag landlords and estate agents.
Cleaned my room from top to bottom - they are trying to take away £200 from me for a new mattress (which was in fine condition when I left it), £15 for general cleaning when I cleaned that room thoroughly. Marks on the carpet (which I did not leave, there were many marks from the previous tennants tho) and want to take £20 from me for 'Gas and Electric' which I have no idea what they are talking about as I paid all my bills before I left that place. Think they're trying to stitch me up, emailed the estate agent and asked him for further details with the 'issues' of the room. No idea where they are getting these comments from as the room looked great when I left it. Now wondering if they've mixed me up with the guy in the room next door as his room smelt of weed and frankly was disgusting. |

That whole 'your name on a bottle of coke' thing.
It's old now but you still get people sifting through the bottles trying to find their name making a que form behind them. GET OVER IT! IT'S A NAME ON A BOTTLE! So many sheep about, coca cola must be laughing all the way to the bank! |

The superflous "So"
There seem to be a lot of posts starting "So, I was ...." "So, when I went...." It isn't necessary. So stop it!

Nothing annoys me more intensely than technology that doesn't work, even though I use a smart phone and laptop every day, for the most part I HATE technology, it fails you at the first opportunity, leaving you seething with the question of WHY is it not working ?
I prefer an axe, you know where you stand with a goddamn bloody axe! |

When you are shopping at the supermarket and someone steps backwards from the shelf without checking if there's anyone behind them.

My library keeps charging me for a book I have returned. I've emailed them 3 times about this now.
