Little things that irritate you

A peg's a peg, why waste more time than you need to colour co-ordinating the bloody things? :lol:

It's a Little Thing That Irritates
You little irritation irritates me.

My wife left me to hang the washing out the other day and it took ages. If I was ordered to colour code the pegs I think I would have strangled someone.

I picked my daughter up from.school yesterday at 4.20. she has a football club so pick up is an hour later than usual.

I get there and there's a car with a puncture and the mum trying to change the wheel. She had 4 kids with her and she said she'd been there since 2.45 and not only had no one offered to help her but that she had asked plenty of people who had said no.

Her attempts were valiant but awful. She had used the jack upside down and so couldn't turn it very much and wasn't able to loosen any of the nuts.

Oi, you lot out there. Start being helpful to people for ****'s sake.

Agreed, I just can't hang things up with odd coloured pegs, even the same socks have to have the same peg!

It's just not natural!

Well you a strange man, this we both know... :D

As I have got older my OCD has kicked in, I'm so tidy, everything must have it's place, e-mails must be written the right way, even my shed looks good. I like to think it's a strength, but I think I am only days away from turning the light on and off 22 times before I leave a room...

Bloody women, they say they want gender equality - well they should start by learning how to change a tyre. It isn't hard.

This one had been gunned in too hard at the garage. I had to jump onto the wrench a few times to get the nuts to loosen and I'm 14 stones.

You ask someone how much something is going to cost - in this case getting an EPC done - and are given a price. We're selling our house and it's obviously not a business venture. The invoice comes out and it's the price, plus the VAT. Just tell us the whole price from the ****ing start. Same with the garage and various other places - I'm not VAT exempt, I'm paying for a service, give me the full cost.
