I call these bugbears, but apparently I googled Bugbears and came up with some hideous monstrosity (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Bugbear&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=_-OGVYGcE6GV7Ab25IGoBg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=643#imgrc=NBrDBF6j1VJ97M%253A%3BjnLtZ_Gydg3lqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi2.photobucket.com%252Falbum s%252Fy23%252Fswank76%252Fgames%2525203%252FBugbear.jpg%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Finkhammer.wordpress.co m%252F2014%252F04%252F30%252Fthe-brownsies%252F%3B695%3B690).

Do you ever get annoyed by something that you know isn't that terribly annoying, yet you can't help but go 'ugh, why!' about?

My housemates, be it during or after cooking food on the hob, insist on leaving the handles facing outwards, towards you. Now not only is that an awful idea if you have small children around, Its annoying for me too. I'm not the most 'accurate' walker ever, and I've on more than one occasion knocked into the handles of the pots. It gets even worse because the light switch is away from the oven, so if I get in during an evening I have to fumble my way through kitchen, hoping I avoid catching a handle.

It's very very minor. But I keep getting bothered by it!

People walking slow is another. Like, if a crowded pavement, and people are either walking very slowly or worse, stopping in the middle and chatting with their friends. Move aside! Make space! Ugh.

Have an impromptu councelling session and let it all out. What minor things really bug you?

When my food comes out of the microwave cold as fuck but the bowl or plate is hot as hell.

Singing from certain people or humming, it just gets on my nerves for some reason. That's the main one right now

Ugh, this so much this. First world problems. Or when my purifier is leaky and makes a dripping noise.

I believe the subtitle for the book of Life is Random Little Annoyances.

Ball sweat.

Yeah, I hate it when it is hot out and the ball for a sports game gets someone's sweat on it.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that one.

I'd have about 20 cents.

Our bedsheets were given to us a long time ago and while they work alright, they're actually a bit too small, so sometimes the corners will come undone. I hate that way more than I should.

Person who calls work and immediately asks, with no abbreviation from me, "My car won't run. What will it cost to fix it?"

Which is comically annoying, but not as annoying as this conversation.

Schmuck: "Now I know you won't really be able to tell me anything accurate, but the [blank] my car, it doesn't work. I have no idea what's wrong, but try to give me a ballpark price."

Me: "I really can't say. You haven't even told me what the vehicle is yet."

Schmuck: "Oh. It's a 2008 ForSubOnda Peoplemover."

Me: "Well, it could be one of several things in that vehicle. They're known for this, this, or this issue which can all cause that type of problem. Which typically means it can range from this to this price. Please bear in mind I haven't even seen your car, so this is a very generic price."

Schmuck: "So it'll cost this much to fix?" (quotes minimal price)

Me: "Possibly. I'd need to inspect the car first to know."

Schmuck: "So it might be more than that now? Well I need someone who can stay firm on an estimate, and it sounds like you're already trying to increase the price." *click*

Me: :eep:

I get this as well and it is so annoying to put back in place. I'm short you see, and my bed is up against the corner and so to get the farthest away corner redone, I have to sort of stretch my body to reach over the bed. I hate bedsheets. :roll2

When someone calls me 5 mins before their shift to say they can't make it in. Really, it's 3:30 am and you want me to find courage for you right now? No. You knew about this days ago.
