    When I go into a cafe or similar establishment on my own. I spy a table which will suit me perfectly. However, by the time I've purchased my apple danish and coffee, someone else who has just walked in has taken it. They just walk in, and one of them says 'you go and keep that table' and I'm left standing with my purchases and nowhere to sit! Now that I'm older and slower it really upsets me. Surely decent people wouldn't occupy a table until they have purchased their food and drink? Sorry for being an old misery!

    Love reading all these stories. I have to agree with most like state of British roads i feel like I’m swerving around the holes which is not good 😬. Though mines has got to be People whi have different faces for different people, for example people who pretend to be someone else to others ,it baffles me how they manage to keep up with themselves . to me that’s a big red flag. And are living a life of decent and lies .

    The first one is that “fake question” thing. Someone asks you something, but they’re not actually interested in your answer, they’re just waiting for their turn to talk about themselves. It can feel dismissive, like you’re just a stepping stone in their monologue rather than someone they genuinely want to hear.

    The second, people who constantly position themselves as the victim or need attention. It’s not that people can’t struggle, but when it becomes a pattern (everything is always happening to them, and nothing ever shifts), it can start to feel like you’re being pulled into something one-sided.

    Like your car telling you RISK of FROST … well done Sherlock, I didn't notice when I was scraping the windscreen … or the best one … Looking at this screen increases the risk of accidents … stop beeping up alerts then. Good job Basil Fawlty didn't have a modern car …

    When the bin men don't empty the bin because someone has walked by and put something in wrong bin and it's not emptied

    I have a long list, I'll start with shouting people.

    Talking loudly on phones or in public.

    On videos, I will just scroll past.

    When people put the wrong things back on supermarket shelves

    Last week I thought I was buying tinned cherry tomatoes … came home with chorizo and tomato soup 😔

    Then I get the row for not looking

    I can't even use that as an excuse.

    'Quote' Apparently I'm the worst person for looking for something 'unquote' … look but don't see 😁

    Unless it's in my shed … home in like a shark then … although a pack of cable ties is proving very elusive.

    Actually the one that really boils is …my wife talking to me from another room.

    She's always telling me I'm deaf … my hearing hasn't magically improved just because we're in different rooms 😡

    Save my legs and blood pressure and send me a WhatsApp FGS

    Television presenters that cannot speak English. It is schedule not skedual in England.

    Just received a contract from my solicitor on Friday that I have sitting on the table beside my Collins dictionary. I have ringed nine spelling mistakes. Maybe I will mark the contract and give them my old dictionary. Whoever typed the contract cannot even spell the word company. There is no hope.

    Proved or proven, so many people do not have a clue.

    Realizing that I've forgotten my bags for life when I'm in the supermarket and having to buy a new one!
