Things without rhyme or reason

It's the little things I am talking about. The things for which there seems to be absolutely no reason. The things that irritate you. The things you don't understand. For example I don't understand why when I buy a pack of 2 bras which are supposed to be the same size and just a different colour, one of them fits really well and the other doesn't.
Any more irritants?

The very long lead on my floor steamer that is too long to wrap around the bits it's meant to. It falls off every time.
Actually - leads from all electrical items that twist and entwine - particularly round the TV set up.

A phenomenon I was reminded of yesterday was, I got into the car and drove to the supermarket. All fine. When I came out and sat in the car to drive home, I had to pull the seat forward because my legs hardly reached the pedals.

The rules of the UK benefit system. Sorry just bitter and twisted atm.

Childproof locks of any kind which can defy the machinations of a quantum physicist but pop open when touched by a two year old.

All of the above ! but the one that makes me growl like a bear is when people cant say excuse me but instead stand there and look at you as if you can read their mind or even worse barge past. Another thing that gets on my goat( which happened yesterday) is when you are stood in a queue and the person behind as to stand so close to you that the are stuck to you, my solution to that is to take a step backwards on to their toes then smile sweetly apologise and say oh dear i didnt realise you were stood so close. Grr rant over tchsmile
