minor things that make you fume

[AndyP94]

Don't know if anyone notices this, or if it infuriates them but when you order a toastie or a cake and sit in somewhere with it and they serve you it on the plate on top of a napkin, so when you want to wipe your hands, you're wiping them on the now greasy napkin.

Wet door handles. Happens in work often. There is a vestibule between the toilet and the main office door, you have to swipe the access control and then hold the handle down to open the door back into the main office, the handle is often wet. This just leads to thoughts of "what is that? water from someone who has washed their hands? sweat? wee?" All horrific options, each one worse than the last. It just makes you hate people.

When I go into the petrol station to pay for my fuel and the person in front has about 50 lottery tickets to get checked. I actually once got stuck behind a person from a local care home getting all the residents' tickets checked and then putting their latest ones on. Was late for work

The cutters on cling film are bloody useless, they couldn't cut a snowflake.

And the cling film roll itself often gets snarled up so you are left tearing off a half strip or whatever. Or buying another roll altogether.

Pavement cyclists again. Often wearing helmets. We pedestrians are the ones who need the flipping helmets.

When one of a couple fills the car and the others gets in the queue to pay letting new arrivals go in front until the partner has finished fuelling. Very efficient but it really annoys me.

When you pull the tab off milk/ketchup and it either leaves half of the tab on the bottle or a transparent film of plastic over the entirety of the hole that hasn't pulled off with the rest of the tab.

Also people looking at their phones whilst walking.

Channel 4 or 5 could do a new series of Emergency or Accident by setting up a camera to film people (mainly students) crossing Hatton Garden at the junction with Dale Street ( by The Excelsior pub) without looking to see if cars are coming. Absolute lunacy and lack of awareness/self-preservation.

It's funny because it's so old. From Latin. My guess is there's new fangled blow driers in the bathroom, not paper towels or similar. Maybe it's an act of defiance.

Driving in Perth.

Having done a fair bit driving in the UK and Europe last year, I enjoyed the lane discipline. Sure, there are a few people that just sit in the middle lane, but overall, and especially on dual carriageways, people sit in the left lane, or move out of the right lane to let cars past.

Not so much in Perth. no matter how many lanes, over half the cars sit in the right hand lane, and will not move to the left to let people pass. And when the top 3 selling "cars" are landcruiser, Ford ranger and Hilux, it is impossible to drive proactively as you can't see anything happening ahead.

If the bus didn't 3 times as long to get to work, I would go back to using it every day.

Melbourne is the same. Sick of idiots who don’t know or care that the outside lane is for overtaking only. There’s signs every couple of kms telling them as well.

Grown adults moaning about straws. They’re meant for kids. Get yourself a tippie cup if you can’t hold your drink properly.
