Little things in life that annoy you immensely #10

[Purrrrrrr]

The weeds that grow in my block paving driveway.

Buy some salt and pour into the cracks, either leave it for the rain to wash it in.
Some just pour the boiling water along the cracks but I always use salt and it lasts a good while longer and depending on your drive cheaper than keep boiling a kettle

Quite specific but the fact that companies think anything higher than Edinburgh isn’t on the mainland. When I spoke to someone they said it’s cos it’s x amount of miles away. They were based just outside Liverpool. I then asked “do you deliver for free to Cornwall & Kent”. “Yes” they said. Well I replied ‘it’s more bleeping miles to them from you, than it is to Highlands’ Or they just don’t deliver at all. It’s been like this since the beginning of time and no matter how many MPs fight about it nothing changes

Am I becoming a horrible mumsnet kinda person or is 10pm too late for the neighbours kids to be out playing and squealing in the street? I feel like it’s too late and it’s driving me crazy

Yeah. Far too late

One of my colleagues constantly talks to me (and everyone else) through the toilet door. I am so uncomfortable trying to pee while hold a conversation, I just can’t do it!

The fact McDonalds NEVER fully fill up the boxes of fries... like, I payed for this.

People that write 'sneak peak' instead of 'sneak peek'

Oh I used to work with someone who did that. I'd be washing my hands and she would chat away. I even heard and bit of a strain come into her voice once followed by a splash then a slightly audible sigh.

The last few minutes of the washing machine take longer than the whole wash

The last few minutes of the washing machine take longer than the whole wash

Currently at 9 mins left for the wash I've got in and it's never ending! The fact I've been sat faffing for the previous 1hr40mins the machine has been on is irrelevant, now I want it to finish as I've got better things to do

People who leave valuables in their car, when it's well known there's currently a gang going round the local area trying car doors at night.

Every morning there are posts of cctv clips of these arseholes going through cars on the local Facebook page. These are closely followed by posts about what people have had taken. Just in the past week there's been "husband's tools", "daughter's iPad", "work laptop" and several wallets, including one with sentimental photos of a deceased child.

I know these people shouldn't be taking stuff, but seriously, stop making it easy for them!

Garden centres that are so full of Christmas tat, they don’t actually have gardening stuff!

My laptop keeps telling me there's a keyboard attached (it's one of those 2 in 1 things where you can use it as either a tablet or laptop) which isn't the original. s switching from allowing me to use the keyboard, to having to use the floating keyboard.

Cleaning the coffee machine. I keep getting told there's no water when I've just filled the thing up with water!

Making the bed just destroys my soul. My mattress is quite heavy so can't properly lift it when putting on the bottom sheet but see when it pings off when I'm putting the opposite side on, it sends me into a right rage

People who have their gobs hanging open all the time. Mouth-breathers. They always look so gormless. Close your darn traps FFS!

Garden centres that are so full of Christmas tat, they don’t actually have gardening stuff!

I accidentally ended up in the Christmas section of my local garden centre yesterday and couldn’t find my way out. I got quite panicky! It was like being trapped in a glitter coated maze.
