Re: Things that annoy you!

Any picture, mirror or ornamental piece on a wall that hasn't been put on straight! It drives me nuts having to refrain from straightening it when at other peoples homes.

Even if it is a teeny-weeny amount out, it grates!

Ok, the Bus is at the Bus Stop, you pull up behind and have a peep round to see if you can pass, just then the Driver puts his right indicator to pull away, great you think, no decision to be made, but, the Driver remains stationary for a least another 30 seconds. Grrrr.

Me too. Just 1mm out will drive me nuts. When I hang pictures at home, I use a spirit level on them, then mark the wall lightly around the bottom corner of the frame, with a pencil so that when they are dusted, I can always line them up again.

Similar with tractors. You follow them for three miles on a winding road, then as soon as you go to overtake, they turn off.

Re: Things that annoy you!

Being nobbled at the petrol pump, no matter how careful you are! Always reminds me of the Alas Smith & Jones sketch when Mel Smith pressed a button marked ‘nobble’.

It happened to me again today.

I can't use a spirit level in my house as it's old and there's been movement.
So, the picture frame just has to be aligned parallel with the picture rail, by eye.

Luckily, with pictures hanging from a picture rail, they are very easy to adjust. In fact, looking at one opposite me now, it needs adjusting by about a mm!
