Watching a quiz show (her choice) and she randomly talks over the questions!! Then asks me what the question was.... I now leave the room when that chase thing is on!!!
Lock down is over luv, 'time to go home' hints are flying about..

Exactly. I demand absolute silence while a quiz show is on. After all, I don't chatter away when Coronation St is on or some of the other rubbish. I leave the room in fact.

As an aside, in the 88th minute of the Scottish Cup Final in 2016 my wife asked me to help her hang up the washing

on the clothes line. Fortunately I said no, cue strop.

She was testing you. They're always at it. Still - they're good with the kids.

Tradesmen who do a good job then text you after you've paid to ask you to give them a 5 star review. Sorry pal, you've just talked your way out of one.

Don’t see a problem with a tradesman asking you to leave a review, they shouldn’t be telling you how to rate them though.

Same here, praise where it's due.

Correct. If I'm pleased/impressed with work that's been done for me I always make a point of telling the person's boss. Internet reviews are really important now as it's the first place that most people look for reviews.

People who squeeze toothpaste from the middle or top of the tube.

Squeeze from the bottom and flatten as you go. It's not rocket science.

I posted that pages ago and agree with you 100%. Total savages if you can't use toothpaste properly. I am the only one in the house who manages to do that correctly and it drives me nuts

Same as my household. It ends up as an argument almost every morning. I'm 99.9% sure it is done solely to wind me up now.

That and people who cut cheese with what looks like a combine harvester, it's a square or rectangle block, you have a straight knife, just cut down

I have a similar moan about bread, we have a cracking knife that I can cut slice after slice perfectly on a nice uncut loaf. Then I go to it after the wife has cut a piece, looks like she used a chainsaw and I end up left with a wedge shaped slice after straightening it up again.

But then you have to flatten it every time, maybe 50 times per tube? Just do it when it's nearly finished and you only have to do it half a dozen times.

Just put a tube squeezer or roller key on the tube, folk soon get used to using it.

Absolutely, leave a review but leave a 5 star review is leaving themselves open to getting done by trusted traders or whoever it was.

From the very start?

Surely you just squeeze as you please until it gets towards the end and then you start flattening/folding the bottom.

I dunno...I kind of enjoy fattening out the tube after the ‘squeeze as you please’ brigade have had their way. I find it oddly satisfying putting a tiny bit of order back in the world each day

I would just take the toothpaste and throw it out of the window. When their teeth start to rot, they'll realise the error of their ways.

TBF this was an issue with the older metalic tubes but not with the current ones. This from someone who squeezes from the bottom so I gt it.....

Probably been mentioned already but personal hygiene. Was stood in line at the baker this morning and the person in front of me stank like Satan's armpit. I was at least 1.5m away and wearing a mask but their body odour was so strong that I had to hold my breath.

Listening to talk radio a lot at the moment - mostly LBC - and the exam scandal is deservedly top of the bill. However the students that are phoning are speaking like American YouTube stars. Really really annoying.

People who refuse to move an inch in either direction when you are walking in opposite directions on a pavement and about to cross each other.

One person to the left, one to the right, it's not rocket science.

Instead of essentially turning sideways to avoid body contact I now tense up my arm for a nice elbow slam if I sense the prick thinks that the entire pavement is his/hers.

Oh yes! I’d forgotten how annoying that was when my ex-wife did it. Her parents did it too which amazed me given her dad had mild OCD.

In saying that, it's good when you cut the offending piece off leaving everything in order.

Is it still edible, that misshapen bit, or do you have to throw it away?

I'll eat it no problem. I'm not really that bothered by people butchering a piece of cheese, but I do like restoring order.

Leaving traces of other foodstuffs (eg. butter) on cheese - that's a different story...

A lot of that butchering stems from government irresponsibility, allowing cheese to be sold by weight. If Trading Standards and that insisted it be sold by dimensions, W x H x D, like fridges, it would quickly eliminate sloppy dividing habits on foodstore shelves and eventually in the home too.

People having arguments on their mobile phones. At least put it on loudspeaker so I know whose side to take.

If one person goes left and the other goes right, they'll bump into each other no?
