Totally unimportant things that drive you insane.

readsalot- people that criticise other people's grammar.

Yeah, no. I agree.

Why do they refer to the suitcase prize on House of Games as "Luggage"?

Surely it's not luggage until it's got something in it?

Yes, Jacky you’re right. I’d love to win it tho, whatever they call it! I love that show.

Aveline, I just checked in my very big fat Oxford dictionary. which tells me that REsearch - whether noun or verb - is the American pronunciation, which is (unfortunately IMO ) becoming more common in the UK and is now generally accepted.

Sorry I just carried out research rather than read about it in dictionaries.
Discuss export and export as a noun and a verb.

And move on to advertise and advertisement?

People who say or write 'normalcy' instead of 'normality'. Grr.

I am unapologetically annoyed by Americanisms - REEsearch being one, ‘normalcy’ another, and ‘stay home’ makes me cringe every time I hear or read it. Stay AT home is the English idiom.

The chemist who delivered DH’s medicines, but not mine. To be fair DH doesn’t know why that happened.

People who chew noisily, or with their mouths hanging open, American ads (they are fine in America but here on U.K. tv I find them jarring), people who walk slowly in the middle of the path, Gosh a lot of things annoy me

sellotape

People who say contra bute instead of con trib ute

Dangly things attached to car mirrors. Surely they're a distraction to the driver?

Fringes.
I'd never have one as I dislike the feel of hair on my face. I've also grown more and more to dislike seeing a fringe on someone else.
I keep imagining how much better they'd look with hair off their face.
(I never say so to them, of course)

Matt Hancock saying "When we ask you to bare your arms".
Is he trying to get a wartime vibe to this?

The tag on a plastic bag of bread which never prises apart as it should. Drives me nuts & usually results in a torn bag & swearing
(I usually buy unpackaged bread, but during lockdown it’s not available in the village shop!)

The habit of tv stations turning up the volume during adverts.....

The habit of tv stations turning up the volume during adverts.....

Oh gosh yes! I am always asking the tv remote monitor to please turn that down.

Which leads to another annoyance; possession of said remote.

If someone is in control of tv remote, why can't they close fridge door while prepping food. Even the fridge is bleeping frantically........

Meghan and Harry

People wittering on about Harry and Meghan in Internet forums ?

Massive 4 x 4s hemming me in on both sides at Sainsbury's car park.

Toilet Roll hung the wrong way! Pictures, mirrors etc not hung straight!

Ripe and ready avocados - no, they’re not!!

DH leaving small pieces of soap on shower tray which I slipped on this morning and fell rather awkwardly.

Same DH leaving blobs of blue toothpaste all over basin, mirror and floor.
