Little things in life that annoy you immensely #11

It annoys me how hard it is to find a prepacked sandwich that doesn't have mayo on. It doesn't even always go with the rest of the fillings, like I've seen ploughman's sandwiches with mayo on. Who mixes mayo with pickle ffs?

Then when you do find one it's usually just ham, and then they insist on using smoked ham

People that sneeze loudly, or clear their throat loudly

The people on Who Wants to be a Millionaire that say "I know this one" then insist on giving you the thought process of their working, "it's not B because that is..." and such... I don't care, just answer the bloody question. You're wasting time for another potential contestant!

I'll never forget CJ on Eggheads doing something similar many years back. His face when Dermot said it was the wrong answer

When friends won't tell you when their birthday is but then post little hints on FB that it's their birthday on the day with things like "I bought my own flowers and cake" Thanks for making people feel crappy for not knowing it was your birthday.

When my fella does the dishes and he leaves a tray to ‘soak’ but then forgets about it for 3-5 working days

Mine does the pots, leaves the water in, then when I go to empty it all the cutlery is still in the bottom of the bowl

When you do a thorough clean and tidy of your kitchen and then 24 hours later it's back to how it was before you cleaned, makes you wonder what the point is

I feel like that whenever I clean the whole house too. What is the actual point?

When people wear an Apple Watch on one wrist then a proper watch on the other. I’m sorry but it just looks stupid

yeah I was watching countdown this afternoon and some bloke was in dictionary corner and he had an Apple Watch on and a normal watch on the other arm! It filled me with rage

I don’t get it. An Apple Watch tells the time. Do these people not realise that? I have so many questions

ETA I googled it and I tit you not it’s a thing!!!! Or was it just me who had no idea?

He probably wears a pager on his belt too

People who try and outdo others and overtake a conversation, e.g.:
Person 1: "I have some exciting news - I won a weekend away!"
Person 2: "Oh cool. Well I won a trip to New York for three weeks, all expenses paid"

It's annoying and rude.

The situation that annoyed me today was someone showing off their beautifully restored piece of furniture, only for someone else to comment with several posts showing "all" of their creations. Bugger off and do it under your own post - oh, but that's right - nobody would even take any notice because you're a show-off who just wants to hijack others' posts!

Rant over.

Harvester spiders. The type with tiny body but long thin legs. Jesus wept they are all over my house! I’m at the stage where I’d actually prefer to find a massive house spider daily instead of these scrawny fuckers everywhere

Not a little thing, but I'd rather have the tiny body and inability to move more than a cm per minute than one of those elephantine mofos that suddenly charge across the carpet and pause as if challenging you to find something big enough and quickly enough to attempt to end their hostile takeover of your lounge and your (my) sanity.

They appear then stop suddenly don’t they?! ‘oh tit. They’ve seen me!’. I’ve had some absolute monsters in the past and I’m slightly worried none have appeared yet harvester spiders are cannibals and I have found a few huge ones trussed up
