Waiting in a coffee shop to be served. 08:00 on a Sunday. One other person in front of me, one other person serving behind the jump, no one behind me. Should be in and out in 3 minutes max. But no. Of course not.
Every 30 secs the lazy arses ordering their cappuccinos and croissants from Uber Eats or Deliveroo from their sacks are pinging their orders through. Do we get served ours first, do we feck. We have to wait for the poor lad behind the counter to sort out 6 drinks, bacon baps, pain au chocs, etc. first because the driver is on the way. And then the next order is waiting.
I love the convenience of having the coffeeshop on my doorstep, I think the staff are great and it's not their fault, but next time I see the owner we are having the discussion about looking after your regular customers first!5 -

Not important in the grand scheme I know, but I feel better for sharing.
Bloody liberty.
Yet to find a toaster that cooks a regular slice of bread evenly. My current pathetic excuse for a toaster, which I've bitterly tolerated for about 7 years, doesn't even toast a muffin properly. A muffin is about half the size of of the toasting area, and yet it still comes out half bread-half charcoal.
Infuriating.

We have a SMEG 4 x slice toaster and its the dogs danglies.
Two big slots that take 2 x slices in each slot. The slots are big enough to load the bread landscape or portrait and the toasting is done evenly all over. Muffins, tea cakes & crumpets are a breeze in this baby, toasting from corner to corner.2 -
Players laying on the ground behind "the wall" for a free kick.1

Whilst I'm a bit horrified at the thought of spending that much on a toaster, if it means I can enjoy the second half of my time on this planet without suffering "toaster rage" then it's money well spent.
If it lives up to expectations then I'll post a picture of myself eating some evenly-browned toast on the "General Things That Please You" thread.6 -

The habit that my daughter has of leaving the tiniest amounts of product in jars, bottles etc. She always claims ‘but there’s a bit left’. No, you lazy bint, it’s because you can’t be arsed to use it all so as to avoid washing out said item for the recycling thus leaving it for someone else to do ie me!
And don’t get me started on her excessive use of toilet paper......9 -
Stuff being left on stairs
One of the most noxious passive aggressive moves someone in a house can make
And it brings out the worst in me
I will ignore stuff left on the stairs, I don't acknowledge, partake or otherwise engage in this poisonous dance of the staircase and items that clearly need to travel upstairs. Unless its too heavy to be carried upstairs by the putter and put away don't leave shit on my stairs5 -

I was thinking exactly the same after seeing Cedric Soares on the floor yesterday. Obviously within the rules of the game, but, for some reason, it really winds me up and looks ridiculous.1 -

Southeastern would say we cannot provide toast this morning due to a trespasser on the toaster.2

When you loudly get a question bang on in University Challenge.in front the of the kids and then get shot down by Jeremy Paxman "what a useless fact". As.if that wasn't true of all the questions on University Challenge ffs2

Was that the million seconds question?0
-
Yes, and I even sat smugly back and said "Akshully.. it's 11.6 days" which was then corroborated and that dashed to pieces by Paxman.0

Well done, I was trying to work out the seconds in a day and take it from there.0

I learned it from a children's book of facts, and remembered it for 30 years knowing that one day I will strike. I think the pain came from the sudden bolt of self awareness that I had wasted my own life10
