Badly hand written sign - Like the blackboards you see outside pubs with the real ales or the menu on.
If the letters are all varied sizes or the person that done it, went in a bit too confident with the size of the letters to start with and shit themselves for space when they got to the end, so cram the last few letters in at the end.
Got a few around the layout of my Excel spreadsheets n all

Bad drivers - particularly those who refuse to use the inner lane on motorways. Given up moving from inner lane to outer lane to overtake them then swinging back into the inner lane.
Certain drivers should be allowed to have two Browning 303s attached to their front bumper to allow them to open up for a couple of rounds to remind these arseholes of the law.7 -
People who don't orientate their maps to the ground, I have to stop them, and line the map up so you can see what you are looking at.
Drives me bonkers, no-one would put a stamp on upside down or hang their signed Derek Hales picture sideways (framed by Gary Nelson), its a shoddy civilian approach to life and not to be tolerated.

Do you have to re-arrow the residual paper after each turnout - or is this just for a brand new roll?man_at_milletts said:Windscreen wipers which down't cover the arc properly.Net curtains with uneven pleats in them.Toilet rolls not folded in an arrow shape at the end.0 -
Do you drink an even number of beers?palarsehater said:Yeah even numbers for me, beers have to be served in there branded glass - and nothing else hate the smooth pint glasses you get in many london pubs.
So if you're on your ninth you think shit I've got to drink one more?1 -
Any frames or shelves that are not lined up properly or tilted or non symmetrical objects on shelves.
Like one candle at one end. Just put another candle at the other end. Book shelves where the size of the books are all mixed up winds me up.
Dvd cases and game cases have to be side on with the title displayed.0 -

At uni my housemate's boyfriend couldn't have an odd amount of money in his bank account. Sometimes he wouldn't order something online because it would leave an odd amount, or he'd order something extra so that the amount would be even. I loved the bloke because he was hilarious and made about 8 cups of tea a day.0

About 8? It couldn't have been 7 or 9 for obvious reasons and unlikely to have 6 or 10 because that would be too far out to be described as "about" - so it has to be "exactly" 8 doesn't it?Chunes said:At uni my housemate's boyfriend couldn't have an odd amount of money in his bank account.

Please confirm this to be the case before my OCD kicks in!4 -
It particularly annoys me when public maps aren't oriented to north. By chance I went for a lovely walk at Wallasea Island this afternoon. The RSPB Have put a site map up with with north oriented to just a fraction off due south. It's literally like someone's decided to publish an upside-down map. I go there regularly and know the island well and had to do a double take. Given that the island is almost totally flat with lagoons front and behind, I can only imagine the confusion it'll give first time visitors.SE7toSG3 said:People who don't orientate their maps to the ground, I have to stop them, and line the map up so you can see what you are looking at.

Well sometimes he would start making one but then stop halfway through. So on average I'd say it was 7.5.Addick Addict said:

Also he would put the milk in first.

My late Father’s one was people displaying the Union Flag upside down - we were once driving to The Valley for a game, and an office building had the Union Flag on a flagpole upside down - he pulled into the car park, and I sat in the car and watched him go into the reception, come out with the security guard and explained to this totally bemused bloke what was wrong - he then took the flag down, and he and the security guard put it right - they shook hands, he jumped back in the car, and we continued on our way, with Dad grumbling that an ex Soldier (which the security guard was) ought to know better (Dad was ex Army) 😃4

I can only assume that you (and a lot of other posters on this thread) don't have children.DamoNorthStand said:I am a bloody nightmare with keeping the house clean and tidy….
Handprints on the bi fold doors wind me up
Gloss black doors on cupboards. Get a scratch on one of them and I will order a new door.
I go through mr muscle glass cleaner like nothing else
Cant go out without the beds being made
All cushions puffed back up on the sofa at the end of every dayAnd then my car.
Any marks or dirt on the alloys and I am out with a bucket of hot water and scrubbing away at all hours.
Hoover it out every couple of days.
When I park on the drive it has to be parked in exactly the right place and angle. If the missus drives it on all skew-whiff I need to move it back.
And like other posters - got a real thing with germs and cleanliness. Will always touch door handles and the like with my coat sleeve instead of my hand.
Bloody hell - reading that back I have issues!
Regarding cushions, if I had it my way I'd burn the bloody lot of them. I get so tired of picking the bastards off the floor that I hide them behind the sofa.
As for making beds - I'd need to whip them to get that done properly. I have to settle for a 'straightening out.'
As for the back of the car..........just don't look back.
My eldest got a poo stuck on holiday. He tried to sort it out with the brush and then cleaned the brush with his underpants.
A few days later the same thing happened again and his tried cleaning the brush in the sink. There was poo all around the sink.
See the kind of thing that I am up against?2 - Sponsored links:

I saw this abomination next to the Olde Black Horse in Sidcup
this morning. I might nip back in the middle of the night and put the bins in number order. 16 -

I reckon The Manfreds used to live there.2

Oh, Supermarkets. If they move things around and it doesn’t match the layout of the shopping list on my phone. We’ll, I’m all over the place.1

If they was my pub, that wall would need to be whitewashed and cables sorted, with a nice tanalised wood bin storage. What is that white blobb behind the plastic garden cupboard all about?DICKIE PLUMB said:I saw this abomination next to the Olde Black Horse in Sidcup this morning.

If I was not so understanding and with the aid of this photo, I would be tempted to sneak out and re-arrange them following your visit in exactly the same order and position. After all, one person's OCD is a different OCD to another!DICKIE PLUMB said:I saw this abomination next to the Olde Black Horse in Sidcup this morning.

Top marks for the positioning of the numbers on the bins in relation to the Bexley Borough logo though0

The white lines round the square drain aren't even.
