Totally unimportant things that drive you insane.

People that criticise other people's speech!

When I want to do my bit by recycling a bottle or jar, but it has a non recyclable top on it which I can't prise off without breaking a knife, a nail or a finger...grr!

Christmas cards from people you see every day.

Georgesgran long, long ago a poster said (can't remember who it was) that she daringly put the dividing thingy at the supermarket checkout horizontally instead of vertically just to be annoying, or daring, or something like that.
I do this all the time now, I'm daring myself to be annoying, absolutely don't know why ?

just a slight gripe, hearing the president's name pronounced;
Rooooos-e-velt,
instead of the correct,
Rose-e-velt.
as in, row, row row your boat../ a rose by any other name...

i don;t know why it bothers me, a kind of verbal tic, i have to say it correctly even to the disembodied radio voice.

The way presenters on the BBC,,when doing an outside broadcast in winter, have to have on enormous scarves!

Coat hangers

Starting every sentence with so......

People who won't take no for an answer when they try to give you jars of their homemade jam or marmalade which you don't eat!

People who don't pronounce words properly such has Wevver instead of weather .

The current trend to pronounce words ending in -ing as if they end in -in.
I hear this is a number of adverts on TV, and there is one BBC reporter/ correspondent who does it.

People who squeeze a loaf of bread in a large supermarket, that clearly has fresh bread delivered everyday, just to check if it’s fresh then don’t buy it, makes my eyes roll !

This is not imho pointless but it would drive me insane. People using my sewing shears to cut paper!

Black bin liners that can take what seems hours of one's decreasing life to prise apart.

The people who, when you have told them you’ve just made marmalade, make it difficult for you not to offer them a jar.

Maybe I should add, people who don’t preview their posts then have to post again to correct them.

Packaging - when something 6 inches square arrives in a box the size of a sofa. The void having been padded with scrunched up brown paper/air bags/bubblewrap.

Can I have, I mean.
Should always preview

When eating out - remember those days - people who say, can it have a little bit of yours? No, order your own!

The current situation has slowed me down a great deal and I think that I have more tolerant of others and behaviours. So if something isn’t important then it probably wouldn’t bother me.

How disappointing Ramblingrose22, fancy ruining a cake by adding something you don’t like. I‘ve found a few different recipes, but all agree it starts with chocolate cake so I’d just go for that, naked and unadorned as it were

Posters who start a thread asking for help or advice and never respond,update or acknowledge replies.

That'll be me, trying to find a ripe avocado. ?

When people pick up loose fruit and veg and put it back and proceed by doing it again.
Especially in covid times
I buy all fruit and veg in bags at the moment and give them a swill before eating/cooking them.

Anyone got that recipe??
