Glad Tidings, Anyone reading. Please add your own 'Weeny Peeve', here, and VENT about it, if needs must. A Small (weeny) thing, which is irritating (peevish)... enough to be irritating, yet not so large as to breakdown One's life... I shall try examples of what I mean, thusly:
...Packets which say:"Pull here to open" --- Yet upon pulling, only the "Pull Here" part opens, and One must resort to the use of tools such as Scissors to open the rest of the darn thing.
...That floating bit of FLUFF which just *will not land* and so can constantly evade being swept up or cleaned away. (Vacuum Cleaners must be employed, here.)
...Things which state that they cost under "X" amount of money, yet only because they cost "X minus 1 plus 99-pence"... The saving of just 1 Pence is ALWAYS touted loudly as a bargain!
...TV Shows which are fictional but when beginning to discuss a real-life impasse, it is as if the writers know this and so change the subject... usually with something loud/dramatic/exploding.
...Not something I myself do, but have often seen done: When eating something "crunchy", upon the first bite, the rest of it fairly disintegrates so much that collecting the fragments is no longer worth any nutrition gained from the effort.
... Even if no-one else replies, I Myself may add to this Thread, now that I have started it, for everyday things. Good Fortune and Stay Safe, All.
When I get a Tune/Melody "stuck in My head" and cannot recall its origins.
When, after putting up a Picture/Poster in One's House during the Day, that time during the Night when it is slo-o-o-o-wly peeling itself off from the Wall, and is making all sorts of creepy noises...
When People see 'a Cloud in the Sky' and immediately start to complain that is about to Rain, even when it does not Rain; then they forget about that and then say the same thing about 'a Cloud in the Sky' the next day. And the next...
Waiting at a Bus Stop for a Bus which is supposed to arrive every Fifteen Minutes, when what arrives instead is at least Three Buses "NOT IN SERVICE".
(Pedant Alert!) ...The fact that My old School changed the Uniform a couple of Years ago, from wearing Proper Ties, to wearing CLIP-ON Ties... (Alas, Another essential Life Skill Lost, there...)
The fact that, in 'Star Trek', James Cromwell invented the Warp Drive, and made First Contact with the Vulcan Empire. Why could it not have been Idris Elba, Judi Dench, or Beyonce instead?
The fact that, in this Forum, No-one has any of the following UserNames : "JollyGoodShow, Chaps!""Flipping Heck, That's Decent." (TradeMark)"I Carry On Regardless""OverHillOverDaleAirShallAwaysPrevail""WhateverYouHave,MineIsWayBetter""AndThenTheyCameSeekingTheGreaterUnderpants""NoMoreNonsense""Intermittent Wireless""OnePercent of OneInOneHundred""Residual/Static Charge""InSpaceNoOneCanHearYouScreamForMuffins"
...Thanks For Being Here, Anyone reading! :-)
