A couple of pet hates

leaving lights on when there is no one in the room

Leaving windows on vent when the heating is on. If its too hot turn the heating down.

clothes hangers not facing the same way in the wardrobe.

Socks not being folded correctly and screwed in a ball

If I forget to reset the trip counter after filling up with fuel, that really annoys me. I know how far the car can go, and I can read the gauge, but I like to see miles...

There's an indian woman here, I cannot pronounce her name - I've started to avoid her like the plague and am panicking about ever needing to speak to her. Am wondering if I can get away with calling her 'love'.

If I get into that situation with someone else, I try and avoid using their names if I bump into them.

having the extractor fan on in the kitchen and the window open at the same time.

Stops a vacuum being created in the kitchen.

Hth.

I know about that one. In the spot I had a dozen years ago if I ran the extractor with the windows and door closed, I got a loud whistle from the kitchen door keyhole.

It was just like the noise of the wind outside a haunted house in a horror movie.

People who step of the escalator and stop... causing a pile up behind them

Yes!! Or people who get through the ticket gates at the station and then immediately stop to put their ticket back in their bag. They get sent flying if I'm around

Well, I have to admit, I'm never sure if the 'e' is silent.
