Stupid little things that bug you

Superfluous reminders.
For example on trains. One of the ones I use stops at roughly 5 minute intervals. The station is announced and then a load of waffle about taking your things with you. Then when it leaves, waffle, suspicious this and that. Really annoying.
(You still get people on the wrong train too!)

Just bought a bag of Ready-Mix mortar. Comes with a warning "May contain cement".
 
Being able to tighten things yet unable to loosen them again, despite using the same hand and forearm to do the clockwise and anti-clockwise movements.
 
People who hold the neck of the bottle when pouring a bottle of wine.

Just watched a film where one of the characters pours a bottle of champagne holding the neck of the bottle… I’ve noticed Niles Crane does it a lot in Frasier n’all.

Winds me up for no reason I can think of.
 
People who drive old big cars and think they're the dogs. Fella I keep seeing round my way drives a beemer 850 series and he clearly thinks he's some kind of Rockafeller fucking big shot. Mate, it's a 60 reg, the thing is 13 years old, you're not impressing anyone.

Ha I said similar once.
Some poser in a soft top Peugeot thinking he was gods gift to motoring.
It’s still a fucking Peugeot you soft twat.
 
The nickname for Peugeot is Puke Show. For mass produced cars they're still amongst the most unreliable.

My Mother used to leave me voicemails, often saying things like, ‘hiya, it’s your Mum, I was just ringing but you’re obviously in work so give me a call back, okay bye’.

Yes, Mother, I know it’s you because your name will be there showing I have a missed call from you. I know I’m in work, I’m here from 7.30-15.30 Monday-Friday. And of course I will call you back, I would never not do that!

Or ones off my mates, who would leave messages just saying, ‘ring me back ya ****!’

I’ve now turned my voicemails off so my phone just rings out when people ring me. If it’s something important from a company, they’ll either ring back or more likely send an email in the first place these days.

I've never listened to a voicemail or a voice note in my life and people still send them.
 
Group text messages. It bugs me that I don’t know if it’s a scam or not.
I recently got a text message from an unknown number that involves 3 other unknown numbers.
I’m not sure if it’s a scam or just a mistake on their part.
I really want to join in and take the piss but I’m not sure if I should.
It appears to be 4 blokes all trying to organize a golf game. The one bloke can’t make it as his grandad is dying and so he has to fly out to Calgary.
I really want to ask for pics of his dead grandad and ask the others if we’re still doing the peadophile ring.
