As trivial and insignificant as you like, but something you'd like to moan about today. In fact the more trivial the better
I'll start with
Mixed nuts, fruit and nut, whatever. Why so many blummin almonds?
Off you go......
We get free bagels at work on Thursdays but they only come with various cream cheese based spreads never butter!
Mixed nuts, fruit and nut, whatever. Why so many blummin almonds?
Surely it's the cob nuts that are the filler? In order of consumption I'd vote for macadamia, Brazil, pecan, cashew, almond, walnut, cob. The cob nuts are the equivalent of the mars bars in a tub of celebrations.
Malmaison just asked me to move from thier doorway while I sheltered out the rain waiting for my Prius taxi.
My toilet valve is dribbling - a replacement from amazon won't be here until tomorrow!

outrageous.
My Smart TV seems to only want to switch input when it wants to.
If I turn the PC on, the TV will immediatly switch to the PC feed (TV is hooked up as a '2nd monitor'). When I turn the PC off, it won't revert back to the TV interface, It will just belligerently display 'no input', until I manually force it to change input via the remote.
Not so smart after all, or too smart for its own good?
Mixed nuts, fruit and nut, whatever. Why so many blummin almonds?
Are almonds cheaper than the other ingredients? Probably using them as a filler to add weight without cost.
DPD tried to deliver my parcel today but I was out. They'll try again tomorrow and if I'm not in, leave it with a neighbour. Why couldn't they leave it with a neighbour today when they were here?
Just tried to buy a world first rum from a by a female master blender, it was too expensive at £280. Had to settle for the £70 men’s master blender version. Pfft.

No, it literally won't.
Mrs done a cheeseboard for tea tonight and the Harrogate blue she got was a bit too strong
Appliances/ remote controls that take an odd number of batteries.
My Garmin will literally never connect to my phone until I turn its Bluetooth off and back on again.
No, it literally won’t.
God I'm sick of this place.
Sorry, I meant to say 'around a minute' as that's how long it will take.
My burger didn't come with ketchup and I ate it anyway.
The Amazon seller sent the wrong size roller blinds and I now have to click and collect a more expensive version from John Lewis. Collection is from Waitrose on Byers Rd, which does excellent Sushi, so every cloud and all that.
God I’m sick of this place.
First world problems...
My well fed lifestyle is causing me to gain back too much of the weight I previously lost. But I love the cheese and chocolate so much!
Our 3 tomato plants are producing more tomatoes than we can handle.

In my experience any DIY task that I think will be a "quick job" invariably ends up been anything but that.
the Harrogate blue she got was a bit too strong
no, you are too weak.
My 13 year old Panasonic LCD TV is working perfectly, so perfectly that it's not allowing me an excuse to buy a larger oled replacement for it.
I’ve ordered a white Tesla Model Y to replace my current company car, but it won’t come until March 24 because that’s when my current car is leased until.
My neighbour, 3 doors down has just taken delivery of a white model Y. He’s going to think I copied him 😆 (doesn’t get much more first world than that surely)

Same. It's also the reason I still have an Xbox One S as there would be no point upgrading.
Spending anything up to a minute, or sometimes even longer, trying to open a fresh bin liner straight from the roll. ffs
My Garmin will literally never connect to my phone until I turn its Bluetooth off and back on again.
If I connect my earbuds to my Zwift PC, they will never reconnect with my phone unless I completely remove the pairing and start from scratch. And, even more annoyingly, vice versa.

I think that's just a case of being methodical, less haste, more speed... see also 'putting a fresh duvet cover onto a duvet'.
I think I've finally got the latter nailed at the grand old age of mid forties.
But none of this compares with the day I went into Waitrose and they were completely out of smoked paprika.
Something in another thread, a thread I otherwise find a little depressing has made me chuckle again.
But if I click like again I'll unlike it!
Ive put on a fair bit of weight since starting my new job, on account of all the nice lunches and nights out that get paid for by the company.
I went to get a vocation chocolate/cherry stout from the cupboard but all I could find was a vocation honeycomb stout 🙁
Wondering what £400 wheelset to buy
Last day on a secondment and I forgot my security pass. This means I have to return the temporary pass when I leave…
… which means they’ll know I’m going to leave really ****ing early.

I got taught how to do that when I was about 9.
*now considering recording a YouTube vid of how to change duvet covers*
Realised I’ve embarrassed myself using up two three posts when I could have combined into one and someone is surely judging me for that.

To be fair, I'd class that as a P1 critical incident.

A fair comment, although I can iron a shirt and trousers in less than 1 min (assuming a pre-heated iron) , so in my defence, I do have some domestic god skills 😀
We'll lose a week of our short fig tree harvest season when we are on holiday.
I've been awake for ages and looking forward to the Friday apple topped pork pies from the local butchers, but they're not available until 9.30am

So you hope. A lot of the kit in our place is probably over 50 years old. Everything involves hacksaws and cursing. "Hire a plumber", you say - he had to resort to a disc grinder and the cursing was truly epic.
Shirts ironed in a minute thanks to Cranwell.
The garden has produced Swiss chard and cavalo Nero in large amounts. Not sure how not to waste it.
It's another week until the bakery near my office re-opens, I've been having to make-do with lesser sourdough. Then I found out this week, if you know the right people they'll take orders by text!
