Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
My local sells Peroni lager. It's quite nice. A pint of it costs about £4.30, but it's no big deal if i'm only having one drink.
A 330ml bottle of Peroni in the same pub is £3.90. Both drinks are contained in a glass receptacle, yet i get shafted out of nearly £4 for having the audacity to order a smaller drink if i'm driving and trying to limit my alcohol consumption to less than 2 units.

Needing a crap whilst waiting for Yodel to collect a parcel, knowing full well that if I succumb then they'll arrive at the worst possible moment. I wish the company that booked them used DPD who can quote to within 30mins of when a collection will take place instead of the day-long collection window given by Yodel

B&Q AND ASDAs policy of pushing you more and more to use electronic Bar coding robot check out tills.
I get the tape and am then faced with no members of staff on a till and am forced to attempt to use automated barcode machine, but one of the items is on a handwritten marked down price so the reader tells me to wait for assistant who is trying to deal with other unhappy customers, meanwhile 3 members of staff are having a chat nearby! So I ask them if one of them could man a checkout for a few minutes and am told NO....Result....
I throw product at the Checkout and walk out NEVER TO RETURN TO B&Q AGAIN!
Similar experience to me. Had over £1000 of stuff on two trolleys sort out decorating. Nobody on the 6 empty tills. Massive queues for the 4 self service benches with one assistant.I get the tape and am then faced with no members of staff on a till and am forced to attempt to use automated barcode machine, but one of the items is on a handwritten marked down price so the reader tells me to wait for assistant who is trying to deal with other unhappy customers, meanwhile 3 members of staff are having a chat nearby!

He was, very professionally, dealing with a complete c
t and the cts mate/work colleague. The other 3 self serves are waiting for assistance. Several employees are stood around watching the whole mess.About 5 minutes pass and people in the queue start shouting for other employees to open up the tills. The employees ignore them. People start leaving and swearing at the employees still stood watching.
The two c
ts are still arguing with the lad. One guy tries walking out the store with unpaid goods, stupid but clearly because he's fed up. The alarm goes off and 3 employee gawkers decide to run and stop him. He loses his marbles, throws his trolley into the shop and tells the "useless frs to open a checkout for people queuing". They ignore him and walk off with the trolley.Finally, someone comes over and clears the red lights on self serve and walks off again. Within 30 seconds, all 3 are red again.
Over the course of 10 - 15 minutes the majority of customers walked out leaving a few dozen baskets and loaded trolleys for the employee gawkers to remove and replace items.
I did briefly wonder if it was in aid of some experiment or a "funny" tv show.

Why can't my house mate make it out of the house at 6:30 for the lift I'm about to give him to work? He can make 6:34, 6:32 or 6:35 but not 6:30.
Why can't my house mate make it out of work at 16:00 for the lift I'm about to give him home? He can make 16:04, 16:02 or 16:05 but not 16:00.
Doesn't affect our journey in at all, certainly doesn't make us late and shouldn't annoy me but it does.

Because he knows you're a pussy who he can take the piss out of. Leave him a few times then he'll get the message. The wasp which flew in through my open bedroom window at 04:47 this morning - it managed to find the 5' x 1' gap on the way in but seemed totally incapable of escaping out again through the same gap, instead it just flew back and forth banging against the top of the window frame until I gave it a spray of flykiller at which point it suddenly became aware of the open window and flew out
