Weeny Peeves

Disambiguating Cynosure
over 4 years ago

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.

    here are some that come to mind lately:

    • a boiled egg where the shell and its membrane are especially tough and don't come away easily, you can't remove it without taking a lot of the white and at the end the egg you get is tiny and mostly yolk.
    • someone eating chewing gum with, you know, that sound-effect 
    • if the little end bit of my (or another person's) shoelace is tied so that it is too long, then it hangs down and makes a tapping sound on the floor when they walk around
    • someone clicking a pen and talking at the same time
    • wearing a new shirt, but one button is already loose (or falls off)
