[Alarm clocks / mobile phones / Saucepans banging noisily nearby - all just out of their reach so they need to get up to shut them off. Dio!]
Garmin Connect software and it's strange complexity and weird user interface(s).

[I’d be inclined to leave them to their own devices Dio and let them reap the consequences of their idleness. Give them warning that you’re going to do that so that the blame doesn’t fall on you]

[Well, at the moment we have one car in the garage so I have to take them on the school/work run. When I'm working in the office (alternate days) I have to take them on my way in so the later they are, the later I am with a number of knock-on consequences. Normally when I'm wfh it wouldn't trouble me at all, except for the stressful atmosphere it creates. They are generally up on time, and the boy is normally ready, but DD2 just does everything way too slowly, and Mrs D sometimes has unavoidable delays. I'll be bloody glad when we get the other car back.]

The phrase ‘short sharp scratch’ when you have an injection.
It feels absolutely nothing like that and it hurts!

Given that I hate the phrases 'reach out' (when 'contact' will do) and 'moving forward' when they mean 'from now on' or 'in the future', you can imagine the fingernails down a chalkboard i heard when I read the start of this email:
"I will be sure to reach out to you as the main contact moving forward."
*puke*
I'd tell them where to stick it but it's work related...

The fact that everyone seems to think the fact that space on the road in front of my driveway is a parking space.
"oh we're just visiting someone for 2hrs"
Yes, well I live here and when everyone says that I really struggle to get off my driveway because you feel it's vitally important to get that 100m closer to the place you're going and not parking the f***ing big spaces further up the road.
Bastards.
The ones tonight even were trying to move my bin out the way (brown bin, v full as first collection of the year tomorrow and so therefore struggling) because they wanted to squeeze their car into a space too small and so would have meant overlapping my driveway stopping me from getting out as I'm going to do in a few minutes.

That part of the road outside my house seems to be the parking space for every white van and delivery driver since lockdown started a year ago. Just because it is an elongated dropped kerb between my neighbour's house and mine. Even the ice cream van uses it as a three-point turn and I don't even live in a cul-de-sac.
It's worse when my other neighbour gets his builder mate around with his vehicle or two and parks across my drive. He has a drive of his own. OK, it's moved upon request but why do I have to ask in the first place?

BBC series “Keeping Faith”. Nearly every character in that programme is so bloody hateful that I can’t derive any pleasure from watching it! I’ve managed two episodes but won’t watch any more.
