30 most common everyday irritations revealed – see how many annoy you

Being told you've entered an incorrect password (again!)

 

How are we supposed to remember the 63,000 passwords that we all have to everything? 15 digit and number strings with punctuation marks, each different to the last by one or more character. Plus every time you try to log in, you can't and you have to change it again and the new password ends up even less memorable that whatever the last one was. AAARGH!

My personal grouse

So I was attending the 3 day convention and taking the bus to the venue. The bus comes once every hour and Moovit doesn't give an accurate time for the arrival of the bus. Not the app's fault.

So after waiting for 20 minutes, along comes the bus. It takes about 30 minutes to get there. So this 40ish woman gets on and starts to video chat with her relatives on full volume, laughing loudly and showing the ones on the phone, the scenery as well. I was sitting behind her. After about 10 minutes of this cacophony,  the gentleman across the aisle told her to tone down the volume

I don't know why some people (certain races are prone to chatting loudly on public transport whether on their phones or not) So it's common to hear loud conversations in languages that are not intelligible to me for the whole duration of the trip (> 30 minutes) Some foreigners (and some low class locals as well) have no common courtesies or they're just down right inconsiderate.

20 Rude Things People Should Stop Doing In Grocery Stores

Putting Items Anywhere

 

Quote

There’s no shame in second-guessing that loaf of bread, but don’t leave it in the frozen food section. It’s always better to return items where you got them from, especially when it’s an item that needs refrigeration—leaving that stuff anywhere spells disaster. 

Here, in this low income country, I find some people will bring fresh food like chicken, check the price of the item and leave the meat sitting on the basket below the price checker. So I always take these perishable items and leave at the nearest chiller, not going all the way to the place where it is to be found. As it is, I travel some distance to my favorite Aeon supermarket by public transport (bus, then MRT) and I'm not going the extra distance to make up for some lout who doesn't care about ruining someone's else meat. All sorts of things that needs refrigeration are been dumped there : yoghurt, fresh milk that needs refrigeration etc. Good exercise for my legs though.

People listening to music without headphones on public transport

 

Quote

Buses and trains are boring, aren't they? The only way to combat the tedium is to distract yourself with a book or magazine. Perhaps a little music. Of course, you'd listen to that music through headphones, wouldn't you? Of course you would. That's because you're not ludicrously selfish. Is there anything worse than people playing loud music on public transport? Other than, the smell of other people's body odour on public transport, of course

Another one of my bugbears. I really need to bring ear plugs. After a fall from a stool, I'm slowly losing my hearing (by extension my brain cells as well) Now I'm hypervigilant about loud noises: lion dances all round the year, events at the mall (recently young 6 years olds were engaged in a cheerleading competition. I'm suppose to buy a hearing aid for my iphone but have not gone round to it.

Sorry for my poor choice of words. Some people just hadn't the chance of a good education or not yet avail themselves to some well chosen reading material. I should always have some of our literature with me to share with those who are less fortunate and are in need of enlightenment.

I think that I can tick most of them and maybe a few more:

 

* When someone needs cash for a purchase and you don't have any

* When you can't find the car keys

* When you loose your glasses

* When you see your bag is still at the bus stop as the bus moves off

* When you have personal problems and forget to pack spare underwear

 

To put just a few!
