I'm in a tetchy mood, and so i'm thinking about things that generally annoy me and it's winding me up even more, so in the hope of cathartic release, here are my current top annoyances;
1. When driving, you let someone pull out in front of you and they don't bother to acknowledge your heroic, kindly gesture (also true when holding a door open for someone).
2. People who eat so loudly at the cinema that everyone in there can hear the packet(s) continually crackling and their godawful crunching/chewing racket. Get some self awareness already and don't treat the cinema like your damn lounge! Not sure if the Odeon in Stoke is particularly bad for this or if I am just particularly intolerant of other people (a little of both i suspect).
3. Overhead gantrys on a motorway that LIE. Debris in road (where?!) Queue on slip road (it's clear, you lie!)
4. Dire oven cooking instructions that mean you burn food to a crisp or it's a soggy heap of mush so it ends up feeding the bin.
5. Super flakey 'friends' who let you down consistently and without fail.
6. You tell someone that you are going or have been on holiday and they say "Oooh, anywhere nice?" ANYWHERE NICE?!!! No, I am going somewhere terrrible. I mean, really, who would go on holiday to somewhere they didn't perceive as being nice?!
Just putting it out there y'know and I feel so much better for it
I'm wondering if i'm a total freak for letting things like that get to me or are any of my irks pretty universal?
