As per the title, what fairly trivial things really annoy you?
My entry for this is streaming services jumping straight to the next episode without letting the credits roll, unless you really quickly stop it doing so.

BB dates written in near invisible ink anywhere & everywhere on different packaged food and drink items. Having wasted about a year of my life searching for them, there should be a law requiring them to all be in the same place, eg top right in decently sized characters contrasting in colour with the surface.
And also on the drinks cartons theme, just stop it with the stupid modern fashion for a ridge-roof top and flip-top opening which results in 20% of the contents ending up on the floor, work surface and yourself. *Bring back screw tops*, there was nothing wrong with them; nor with level tops that were easier to drink from and could be stacked. Grrrr! |  |

TV football commentators who aren’t actually at the game.
The increase in people bringing their (non service) dogs into shops. Maybe this is a US thing. It happens a lot over here.
Other drivers who don’t acknowledge you when you let them in.
No shows and other timewasters when you’re selling stuff on fb marketplace |  |

People who pull out in front of you at a junction, causing you to hit the brakes, and then proceed to drive 10 miles less than the speed limit.
People with rucksacks.
People who walk side by side along the canal and don’t move out of the way when they see me running towards them. If the choice is falling in the canal or running straight through you then I’m running straight through you.
Agree with you on the streaming show jumping straight to the next episode without letting the credits roll. A lot of shows now have a post credit scene that you miss. Took me years to figure out that you could hit the back button to stop the next episode okaying and jet the credits roll. |  |

This is very close to one of GBs but just people who drive 5-10 miles per hour under the speed limit when there is no reason to do so.
I live near a 40 road that is very well sign posted and very straight, all things considered. There's always one person holding everyone else up so they can drive between 30-35.
Very trivial, utterly infuriating. [Post edited 9 Jun 9:41]

Well, I thought of a somewhat topical one seen as this is generally a football based website. Commentators who call players by different names to what they have on their shirts. I guess players have those names on their shirts because that's what they want to be known by. Probably doesn't matter much to your average reasonably clued up football supporter, but to someone more casual, they are probably scratching their heads. I wonder how many times it's going to happen at the World Cup. Simple to do! |
Does Barry Bannan have "Barry Bannan" on the back of his shirt? |  |

People who yawn obnoxiously.
Even worse people who try to talk mid yawn and then because you obviously cant understand them you have to ask them to say it again. Just Yawn normally, cover your mouth and then speak. Not hard. |  |

They're the same people that take a mouthful of food and then immediately try to speak to you. | |

being late - it may be trivial for some people, for me, my anxiety goes through the roof and my patience drops like a stone. id prefer to be 4 hours early at an airport than on time
coat hangers facing the wrong way
people leaving plates on the kitchen when theres a dishwasher literally right there. see also tea bags left next to bin.
people who demand things urgently on email but then you ask them a simple question in return and it falls into the black hole of calcutta |  |

The little white strip of plastic that holds a multi-pack of new socks together.
1. Whose idea is it to make a hole in my new socks for this thing?
2. Having to find scissors and then carefully separate enough socks so I can cut the tiny thin plastic without cutting my socks and adding another hole.
3. Plastic sucks, surely there’s a better way in 2026. |  |

Being late - I forgot that one! It really grinds my gears if I’m late (I very rarely am and if so it’s because of something beyond my control). If other people are late it annoys me even more. A good friend of mine is never on time. Grrrrr |  | | |

People who walk along the pavement but never lookup at all from their phones even when someone is coming from the opposite direction. I often pull a face at these types as I walk past them, not been caught out yet. Don't blame me if you get mugged of your phone. |  | | |

People who walk out of shops, off trains, without looking, straight into the people walking past - do you just pull out of side roads into oncoming traffic? No. So why do it then?! |
People who stop in the aisle of supermarkets to have a chat and completely block the aisle. See also doorways and pavement | | | |

People that correct others by starting with ‘you do realise….’
Is it worth being right if it makes you sound like an insufferable c@nt? | | | |

People who stop at the top of escalators.
Short people with umbrellas. |
In particular those people who stop at the bottom of an escalator or stairs to push down the handle of their suitcase on wheels. And then immediately stop at the top to pull the handle back up again whilst everyone piles into the back of them. And similar getting on a train. All this p155ing about with suitcase handles up & down. | | | |

You've given an almost word for word answer that I did once before when this subject came up. It's an absolute bugbear of mine, having previously worked in Covent Garden for 25 years and travelled on the tube and encountering this behaviour on a daily basis. | |

People who park in disabled/parent & child spaces when they have no right to.
Parking pay machines and/or people who can't work parking pay machines. | | | |

Wouldn't even happen if everyone used rucksacks when they travel.
Would it, Glassers ? | |

Re pay machines - don’t blame the stupid system & people having to use them for the first time.
Re disabled and parent- child spaces - if there are shedloads available, disabled people who don’t happen to have a badge should be allowed to use them to help save their backs etc. imho. | |

Agreed on both counts. | | | |

TV shows that have about 3 minutes worth of spoilers telling you what they are going to be telling you in the next hour, or showing you the bits you'll miss if you turn over. I try to fast forward to the real start of the show (looking but not looking directly at the screen).
