Simple Displeasures

I thought I'd mirror Kaff. What little things day to day will inevitably tick you off?

For me:

Stubbing your toe. It hurts like buggery and you're a pussy if you let on.

Needing to do two things with equal urgency - like needing to pee and needing to drink, or being absolutely shattered and starving - and being unable to decide which to do.

Burning something that would of been a perfect meal if you'd taken it out of the oven five minutes earlier

    Having to fight for space on a 2 seater sofa with 2 dogs. Meanwhile, there's enough space on the other sofa.

    Ooo ooo I know - turning the lightswitch for the light that doesn't have a bulb and hasn't for years, every single day because it's next to the one that does work.

    Lighting your cigarette two seconds before you see your bus turn into your road.

    I really like that! It's the subtle cigarette magic which makes the bus come

    Doing a crap load of washing up. All washed, rinsed and drying on the drainer. Surfaces all wiped down, clean and sparkly. Make yourself a cup of tea to go for a sit down and.................. you've missed the fucking frying pan/grill pan/roasting tin.

    When someone moves a wheely chair while I'm sat on it. I don't know why, but it really makes my blood boil!

    Also people who drive right up your arse in the inside lane of the motorway when the middle and outside lanes are both clear. JUST OVERTAKE ME, SHITBRICK :grump:

    Also, drivers that sit in the middle lane clearly NOT overtaking which means I have to move from the inside lane, to the middle lane, to the outisde lane, then back again. Or undertake.

    Interruptions. Like when I'm doing something and the phone rings or someone knocks on the door etc.

    Interruptions, happening one after the other in quick succession without being related to each other (it seems to happen a lot).

    Seeing a random woman in the street/bus/restaurant/whatever, thinking she's cute/pretty/sexy/whatever and then seeing her light up a cigarette.
    Not that I was going to do anything anyway, but I still consider this a kind of curse on me. It seems to happen 9 out of 10 times.

    The fact that every letter I seem to get these days is a bank statement telling me how much money I don't have or a bill. I miss nice letters.

    People saying common phrases wrongly. Like, 'from opposed to'. Why would you say that?!!
