I know, I know - there's the starving in Africa, the Tibet crisis, credit crunches and missing children.

But, there are times when all those pale into insignificance compared to life's annoying moments. I'd like to hear yours - here are just some of mine:

1. Tangly things:
the wire for the lawnmower - always in the way.
Christmas lights (that goes without saying).
Hose pipes - why can't they just unravel from the wheel and not kink and split and be a nightmare?
My brickies line. Never without a knot or a fray or is tangled up.

2. The nozzles on sealant, no-more-nails, etc. Always seem to be gummed up. End up taking them off and squeezing it onto my fingers.

3. Cement mixer - always chooses to splash muck at the very moment I bend down to pick up something, resulting in a dirty head or neck.

4. The phone that always rings as I sit down to tea.

Please don't say "pointless threads like this". Its not clever and not funny.

you are absolutely right---this isnt a pointless thread. The little (or big) annoyances is what determines your mood or outlook at that moment in time. I know there are plenty.......just cant think of them at the moment......which is annoying....

every house has this 'bermuda triangle'.

lack of basic manners and courtesy.

Nothing at all annoys me :D .....Well maybe just the one thing.
 
My pet hate is when someone gets a glass of water from the tap and sticks the glass under whilst the tap is running causing the glass to have a wet base and leave ring marks everywhere bit of OCD i think.

Also peope who sit at junctions in the turn right or straight on lane yet only indicate they're turning as the lights turn green!!

Last but not least the service at parts center!!
 
Door handles. They have a knack of going up your sleeve, in your pocket, getting caught in your jacket lining.
