Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

I sometimes have a mare but the sporty ones I use stay in even when running fast (for me, month farahs walking speed). They are over the ear and in ones, but work! Or you get some mushroom ones or something that swell to fit? My mother is virtually deaf with those in!

Dym: feel your pain. Call with IT 'I can't see this folder', IT - I can, which files can't you see (screenshot), me - I can't acces this entire folder, screenshot. IT - this is a synching issue, wait a while. Me - I know, it's been 2 hours, please advise how I can access these files. Two hours later, IT - please try again, me - still can't access folder. This went on for two days, management does't seem to think this is a problem. I'll forward them the next note for the account director asking where the hell his data is.

Semi-pro: my machine has washes for 45 to 1.5 to 3h and in between. Of course that's what it says. They never finish on time. Even an 11 min spin is 12-15 mins long, arghghgh.

Credit where it's due in that mine doesn't even pretend to be that accurate and give me an estimated time - it's just done when it's done.

Not in service buses.

At least if they're on a route I stand a chance of getting past them when they need to stop, these ones just bumble along slowly causing traffic

Creepy men at the gym who sit in the hot tub/at the edge of the pool surreptitiously watching you in the little shower and pretending they aren't. Then follow you into the steam room and try and strike up a conversation. SOD OFF!

[Belmit]

I hate that too.

Wet people.

The kind that do that sloppy loose hand shake and are lifeless. Someone we know is just so wet they are constantly walked over by their kids too and have no control... ie I was over their place and my phone went off in my hand bag and their 6year old kid grabs the bag and starts pulling all my stuff out of it!! The Dad just looks at him and says in the most monotone dreary and un-authorative voice ever "No........ no........ now stop that................... you know you shouldn't do that................ stop that now......."

Why did he not take the bag from his kid and just stand there and let it happen!? Other things... he doesn't know how to check and pump up tyres on a car. He's late 30's ffs and been driving all his life!! Classic one this... His wife had a panic attack and wasn't breathing properly and he came and got me (on her demand) and because he was tired and it was 1am he decided he would go to bed. I had to take her to hospital! He didn't stay up to check she was okay! And before going to bed (whilst she could hardly breathe) he offered her a banana because he was hungry! !?!? Wtf?!

Such a shame as the wife is lovely and I feel she is burning the candles at both ends as she has to go to work (he doesn't work at the moment) and manage the kids and also him!

He does scare me a bit... he's that quiet type of person that you think "one day... will he just snap and go beserk and napalm the world?"

Either way, the way he is makes me want to grab him and shout "HARDEN the **** up!"!

Finding leaf coriander in my duck wrap at lunchtime *retches*

[Belmit]

I love coriander! My annoyance with it is how pathetic it is. Doesn't stand up in the pot, dies if you overwater it, dies if you underwater it... When I buy a pot I have to use it all up very quickly and just buy more.

I have the same feelings on coriander as Belmit. It's a proper wimp of a herb.
