😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

People eating loudly at their desk. People eating obnoxiously pungent food loudly at their desk.

Misophonia: it’s a real thing.

People who open their mouth every third munch displaying partially masticated mush. :lou_facepalm_2:

The sites I visit tend to be pretty secure so you have to rock ID while about. Sometimes I’m in a rush and forget to remove it until the airport, but it’s gleefully discarded.

So onto my point. Mandatory name badges in a one way relationship.

They used to make us wear name badges in ASDA, and it’s true what they say - names have power. Some bastard you don’t know from Adam rolls up, calls you ā€œPaulā€, even though the fucker doesn’t know you. I’m cool with it so long as its universal, but would _never _presume to call someone I don’t know by their first name just because their corporate masters have mandated that their moniker is a personable, monetisable thing.

Can noone make a cunting milk container that doesn’t piss all over the floor /my hand ? Christ, it puts all that Syria/ Ebola shit into perspective.

To be fair, I think that says more about your cackhandedness than about milk containers.

I reckon it wouid have better luck if you used your real name, CB.

It was probably feverishly hoping you were CD Saint, which in some circles might be interpreted as ā€œcross-dressing saintā€, trying to match you to their newly created LGBTI customer service department.

People.

Council IT systems.

People who get annoyed when I leave my badge on when I pop out to get lunch.

Inevitable summer/easter/Christmas annual leave debacle (I don’t have time off for any but hear all the talk).

People who leave their badge on when they go out to lunch and tell you about it twice.

People who don’t mind if you only tell them once that you leave your badge on when you go out to lunch, but who get annoyed if you tell them about it twice.

Zip pockets.

They don’t friggin work, they snag the bloody lining and you have to take scissors to them!!

People at the gym who half heartily cycle, cross train… Not even breaking sweat and just stare at their phone. Even worse, people who occupy gym equipment but not using it, just checking Facebook as you hover!

…people in general!

Ppl who don’t know how to operate a basic zip fastener, and can only get into their pockets using scissors ffs.

People that can’t spell Maoam*

* taking a punt that this is what you meant, as I’d never heard of it before…

Getting all the way from the car park to the front door of the office only to realise I can’t get in because I left my pass in the car after taking it off so as not to look a twat during my lunch break…
