Not sure if we currently have an annoyances/ pet peeves thread but if so I couldn’t find it. So here goes.
Traffic in the right lane is going ridiculously slow. The left lane is open so I move over to pass. Once I do, someone ahead in the right lane has the same bright idea and moves left in front of me; fair enough. But then, they proceed to go one-half of one mile per hour faster than the traffic in the right lane when I was going to go eight miles per hour faster.
Sorry. Traffic is a cooperative endeavor dominated by uncooperative people.
I was annoyed by my son locking the shed door. It’s only used during gardening season, since that’s what it contains.
There’s no key. Anywhere. If there ever was one handed to me. It’s not locate-able.
In a million years it will never be found.
I save all keys. I have a huge drawer full.
Why do I hoard these things?
That’s what annoyed me.
I picked the lock to the garden shed in 3 minutes.
I made homemade breakfast sausage, then realized that there was no room in the freezer for it.
I decided to start some more veggie plants, since I managed to kill the others I started last month. So, of course, I got dirt all over the counter, despite being soooo careful. I seem to have gotten klutzier in my golden years. Dammit.
Today, no… make that all week, I was annoyed by my sister in law. But we just dropped her off at the airport so yay! She’s gone now.
I come home from work each day mentally and emotionally exhaused. On my weekends I don’t want to do bupkis other than read a book or play my Switch and maybe take a nap or two. – IOW dissociate from life for a while. Taking a shower and putting on real clothes and leaving the house to run errands is work, dammit!
Today I have to do just that. I need to run to the grocery store and probably Walgreens and maybe get gas. I should’ve done that on Friday so my weekend could stay unencumbered by responsibly. But I failed to do so and I’m annoyed by that.
Gee, thanks for reminding me I have this to look forward to. She invited herself to come visit our MIL. I am so not looking forward to her visit…
Yeah my SIL is one of those people who always has to be right, always has to be the boss, is a drama queen, always complaining about her health, always complaining about the people she works with, bragging about how great her kids are (but managing to ignore us if we have something to share about one of our kids/grandkids…) I’m usually sick of her after about two days. Oh and of course she’s too cheap to get a hotel room, which is why she stays with us. After a week of free room and meals, we stopped at a McDonald’s on the way out of town heading to the airport, so she could get something to eat for breakfast. “Does anybody else want anything? I’m buying.” Wow, how generous of you. 
Sacrifice something anything from the freezer to make room for breakfast sausage!
I promised today to visit our sibling next month. I’m annoyed at them in advance.
I am annoyed that Manchester City won and Arsenal FC lost.
The weather was great for biking today. I was tired of going downtown so I headed south instead of my usual north. After a few miles I turned around and found out why it was such a pleasant ride. I’d had a brisk tailwind the whole way south. Only now it was a very brisk headwind. And being in a flat county, the only place to get any gravity assist was on the little bridge over Whiskey Creek. So I dropped my gear and powered through. Got my exercise, though.
Weed-wacked for the first time in 2024. A small bush of poison ivy made a juicy explosion into my face. I immediately washed with soap and cold water, but will know by tonight if my face will look like a giant hemorrhoid tomorrow
I am in the process of being annoyed by the fact that the Nats are doing their best to blow a 5-run lead.
I was annoyed this weekend by the toilet in my hotel room. It was one of those whose seat won’t stay up by itself. So since I stand to pee, I had to pee with it down, then wipe it off.
I can’t tell if these things are intentional (and if so why), or just a poor fit between the seat and toilet.
Mildly aggravated by cats who pick right when the human bladder needs attention to get super snuggly so the human feels bad about moving them.
Oh, another annoyance: Amazon delivery again didn’t ring my doorbell, thus resulting in $60 of temperature-sensitive items being ruined on the doorstep in the sun. Although I should have probably gone outside every few hours to check.
My brother just left after staying with us 10 days, but that didn’t annoy me. What’s annoying me today is my sister made Brussell sprouts stuffed with Parmesan cheese (!), so the kitchen (where my desktop is) is stinky as hell. Fortunately, the stench dissipated faster than I expected.
Today my dog, still a puppy at just 11 months old and who has been in Butthole Overdrive for the entire day, managed to locate and roll in the smelliest, grossest bear poop on the property.
I immediately gave him an unplanned bath with two rounds of shampoo and an instant teeth brushing, which he hates. Sucks to be him.
We’re both still disgruntled over how events unfolded today – but only one of us is still gagging. It’s not him.
But I bet it was an annoying 3 minutes.
