The little things that annoy you

You mean the sort that you get from all-night garages, that turns to powder when you try to spread butter on it?
yup, that's first against the wall come the Revolution.

the ping of the lift bells, i'm sitting in an office with a window that overlooks an atrium and the air con doesn't seem to know what to do so I have the 'so called' window open which gives me some air to breathe but also the ping every five seconds

It's a ding...dong here.

Small talk. I can't do it. I'm scared of it. I will walk 15 flights of stairs at work to avoid being in a lift with someone I may know well enough to have to SMALL TALK with.

People commenting on my food at work. "Ooh that looks healthy!" - piss off, leave me alone you intrusive winker.

Smug mothers who don't work full time. Nuff said.

They way the milk tab ALWAYS breaks on me, therefore causing me to have to gnaw at the seal with my teeth/stab it with scissors.

That ridiculously strong plastic that razors/headphones etc are sealed in, that breaks scissors and hurts your hands.

Ohhh you're the first female I heard admitting to that! -I am of a similar view - the absolute banal drivel spoken about nothing (usually by females) put this drivelsome board to shame

Females are known to verbalise every random thought ...

I salute you

I thought it was only male geeks with no social skills who suffered from this problem i.e. most of CUK

Does the lift also announce:

• The floor its on
• Please select your floor
• Doors closing
• Doors opening

Actually, it's the men at this office that are the worst for it, specially in the lift. They will rock back and forth on their heels, make irrelevant comments about the weather - etc.

Awful. I just can't bear talking for the sake of it. I'm rude basically.

Reminds me of the guy who stays in Alan Partridge's hotel. Unbelievable.
