Little things that annoy you immensely #17

Shopping and standardisation. When you pay by card and the card swipe is at top on the front then next one it's at the top on the edge or in another it's at the bottom. Just make them the same.
Then the self checkouts another shitfest of differences.
Also dont know if I have moaned about this before but toilets in various places. Not the toilets but the sinks to wash your hands. What fresh level of hell are these? Some you need a degree in technology just to get the water out the tap. I now suffer sink anxiety going in to a public toilet. I firstly glance at the sinks and if they look unusual i spend my peeing time wondering how i might have to pass the mensa test to use them.
 
ITV have sent Andi Peters to Singapore and Jeff Brazier to NYC to tell us there’s a competition where you could win £500k.
Why can’t they do this from the studio? Why send them plus crew across the world? It’s such a colossal waste of money. They do this all the time too. What even is Andi Peters’ job? All he does is goes on holiday to tell us there’s a competition.
Bugs me!!

Apparently he runs the competition I read somewhere and earns a fortune from it.

Supermarket toilets in particular, always seem to stink like they’re not ventilated properly. Somebody always seems to have had a smelly poo whenever I go in there 🤢
 
Walking back from school in the morning, only to realise you are still clutching your child's water bottle/book bag etc, so you have to go back to drop it off.

People who don't volunteer the fact that their name is not spelled in the conventional way. So thanks Nikkalah Smyth for wasting several minutes of my time this morning.

Also when you say to someone called Steven, for example:
Me: Is that Steven with a 'v' or Stephen with a 'ph"?
Them: Yes

😑😑😑😑

I think Andi Peters own company runs the whole competition thing. I think they lure in viewers seeing the glam locations and perhaps this gets them to call in.it surely must be worth it.
Maybe they are thrown in when they promote whatever company is giving away the car, holiday etc.

What a waste of money if so it would cost many thousands in hotels, food, transport and insurance of equipment. During the cost of living crisis and food banks it shows a very greedy way of promoting and taking advantage of viewers in tough times.

They declare the competitions as ads too I hope as they are when they promote the company.
Maybe there needs to be transparency as to what it costs and who wins the competitions etc.

I gets fed up of those competitions and often wonder if they are ever all real as some seem so staged and I imagine they make a lot of money as they are on Loose Women too them competitions. Strange 🤔
 
Had a moan about this on the previous thread. Received a wrong order earlier this week. I knew it wasn't mine even as the guy was handing it to me but it had my name and address on it so I knew it wasn't his problem.

Sick and tired of the shop instructing me to make sure it's well wrapped and has the return address on, and all the rest of it. This was not MY error. And yes, I did all that and it's finally gone but their attitude gave me a pain in the arse.
 
Rude people. I am meeting some friends in the pub later and the last few times we have been, there has been two guys there who are in the area for work. Firstly, they don't have inside voices so even if they are speaking between themselves, everyone can hear them. Second, they blatantly take the piss out of us. You can see them rolling their eyes when we are speaking, or laughing like school kids at our conversations. I'm the one that they seem to get the most enjoyment out of. I don't know what is so hysterically funny about me being a published writer, but they certainly get a kick out of it. Hopefully they'll sod off soon. I just don't get why people need to be like that.
