    The single beard hair that I always miss when shaving!  

    The number not pressing on the TV remote...then coming up twice when you press it again...  :D 

    And on that note, TV volume not being an even number!

    Clothes hangers. They always get tangled.   Teens who swear like troopers.  Bad spelling.

    Hi @Ails I got fed up with finding a sock missing so I bought eighteen brand new totally black ones! Ha ha! Now I don’t care if one goes missing because I still have pairs of socks etc. Hint; buy them all the same make, they may discolour and shrink at different rates otherwise.

    into the room 101 with odd nails and screws left on the road following a visit! (All about cars today!)

    Trousers under the bum... :#.   Why there is a backside in the trousers... kids find it fashion. Man wear them down the same in prison to say I'm available..     :/ why are our future generation doing it ...

    Poor use of English eg` I would of gone` instead of ` I would have gone`  and `th` said as `f`.

    @Bell11 My understanding of the trousers thing was due to prisoners not being allowed to have belts due to using them to hang themselves, so their trousers always fell down, and it turned into a bit of a fashion for chavs to wear their trousers round their thighs. Your explanation sounds just as plausible though, who knows which is correct. Regardless I agree with you though, maybe we are in the minority, but I do not see the attraction in an inch of exposed butt crack! :s

    @pollyanna1052 I totally agree, "of" instead of "have" is one of the grammar errors I find most irritating! :D

    The stench of barbecue kerosene or whatever it is when you were enjoying a nice sit in the garden. (Ive never barbecued)
    Likewise bonfires on sweltering hot summer evenings when you really need the windows open.

    @leeCal I am afraid my family are part of that group, I love a barbecue, furthermore we usually light the fire pit afterwards using the BBQ charcoals and some extra wood. Sorry :#

    That said I do get annoyed when I smell other peoples' BBQs............annoyed that I am not having some!!!

    People who get offended when you hold open a door for them and assume you are doing so because you think they are incapable of holding it themselves. Often they bring up a completely irrelevant characteristic of themselves like they are old / female / have brown hair and it is ageist / sexist / brown hairist to help them. No you help them because it is the polite thing to do but people like that make me not want to do it any more which is sad for the majority of people who are decent and don't deserve to have the door slammed in their face!

    Those who are queuing at a shop and have only bought a couple of things, they know how much it'll be, but wait until the cashier tells them the cost to then rummage through their bag, not be able to find their wallet / purse and take ages to find their card / cash. Consequently the whole line is held up for what seems like ages.

    It does seem to come as a surprise to some people when they are asked to pay for their products! :D

    Nosey chemists assistants who ask “what is this for?” In public before handing your medication to you. Embarrassing or what! Or is it just me? ?

    ‘On’ accident, no just no. And it’s often people who are old enough to know better.
