What small seemingly unimportant thing just pees you off

I tell you what really peed me off today. We have a terrible politcial party at the moment, I didn't vote for them, and they really need to go. Today the reps for the Opposition party came around....I have been considering voting for them at the next election which is very soon..

On my door it clearly says NO leaflets..... so what did they do... pushed the leaflets through the letterbox


When I opened the door to see who it was , I discovered it was the actual candidate for the opposition party himself.. he was already 3 doors away by then... so what pisses me off is that not only did he totally ignore my request for no Leaflets... but the very first paragraph on his leaflet said '' we called today to discuss your concerns about the local residing party...'' or words to that affect..


Now that was a downright lie.. he didn't knock or ring the bell... so that man because he did that.. ignored my request and lied on his pamphlet ...... will not be getting my vote, and doubtless the many people here in my neighbourhood he's done the same to, won't vote for him either... stupid man !

Many years ago I was travelling home from London. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and I was so hungry.
I spotted a steak house and drove in.
I told the waiter that I wanted a steak cooked medium rare without any sauces or garnishing, just the steak.
He brought me a steak that was overcooked and floating on a sea of garlic sauce.
He said, "Enjoy".
I said that I might when he brought me what I ordered.
He said that 'everyone' like garlic sauce and I'd 'love' it.
I told him to stick where the sun doesn't shine and walked out.

Then, a few miles down the road I stopped at a chippy and ate one of the best bags of chips I've ever had. 😊
 
I'm a guy and I'm not thrilled about admitting this, but those lids on medication vials. The ones where you have to push down and then twist off. The frikken things push down, but they are welded in place, and are unable to be twisted off.
I'm not a 100 lb. weakling, but I have the pharmacy put easer off caps on my meds. It irks me when they forget.
BTW To get the "senior" easy off lid, I had to sign a waiver absolving the pharmacy of any wrong doing.

I hate it when they don't get the steak right ...... in a STEAK house!

yes they are a pig of thing to get off, but you can request that your pharmacy doesn't use Childproof lids...
 
I get irrationally angry when someone pulls out in front of me and then drives at a snail's pace, especially if there are no other cars behind me. Can these people not judge speed and trajectory? Or do they just not care? Or, more likely, at least in the States, they're completely self-absorbed.

In the U.S. is it illegal to drop anything in any box/slot etc. used for mail delivery unless it has proper postage.

I wish it was illegal here.

I get very few now compared to what I used to get because I have the sign saying no leaflets etc and most people obey that....... but before I put the sign on, I used to dread coming home from a fortnights holiday to find the whole hallway ankle deep in junk mail ... brochure leaflets for double glazing, for pizza, fast food generally, menus... , charity begging letters, charity donation bags.. you name it, that's what gets posted through our letterboxes in the UK>..

It's the old "Swoop and Squat" trick.

I have to tell you that really angers me as well. I don't understand it. I'll be driving along the road, and I see someone sitting waiting to pull out of a side road, and they wait until I'm almost at them before they pull out instead of waiting until I pass them..then they drive as you say at a snails pace...causing me to brake sharply.. and or try and overtake them...

When the gas pump screen says "printing your receipt" and no receipt comes out. Granted, I don't really need a receipt, but what if I did? I'd have to go inside, wait in line and say "I need a receipt for pump 12". Then the clerk gives you one of those eye rolls and prints you a receipt. Doesn't that negate the advantage of "paying at the pump"? It seems that I get fewer and fewer receipts at the pump these days.

That's my petty complaint for the day. No, to be honest, I'm pretty sure I have a lot more. The older I get, the grouchier I am....

Yes, that's it exactly! Perfect description.

Amen^^^^^ except I switch lids when I get the script home, if possible. The lid I have on the empty bottle is already worn, so switching lids works for me.

I have other things that really rankle me to no end but they involve politics, so I will keep quiet——-

That irritates me as well. More and more often it either doesn't print or the screen says "See cashier for receipt." Grrr.

Along that same line. How about when someone makes a risky move and passes you, then, 100 feet down the road they turn into a driveway? Put everyone's life in jeopardy just to get home... what... 12 seconds sooner. :mad::mad::mad:

what's worse jujube is if that happens at an unmanned garage ( Gas station )... of which we have many here...
 
What about my all time peeve.. which happens to me at least once a week... drive into an empty or almost empty car park...

1000 spaces.. or more....

Come back to my car and find this....

Companies that don't coordinate their departments. I cancelled an appointment and keep getting reminders of that very appointment. I cancelled insurance and they keep sending me bills. Oh, just ignore them they say. I was waiting for a technician and the text said he was on his way. When I called they said no it will be a couple of days.
