Madusa said:unexpectedly running out of things: like you put some toast on, and there's no butter or like just enough for a scrape, put the kettle on and there's no milk, go to take a shower and some fucker's used the last of the shower gel, etc etc.
On a similar note to the OP, I live in a house sharing with 5 other people with the hot water running from a storage tankrolleyes: ) so if someone has taken a shower in the middle of the day, i would have to wait at least 40 minutes to take a shower cos the hot water runs out so have to wait til all the water in the tank heats up again.
Or on the rare occasion in the morning (thankfully we all have differing schedules) I wake up and go the bathroom to have my usual shower, but there's someone in the bathroom -no worries I think, they're just using the toilet/brushing their teeth - and then i hear the shower going: They've taken my showering-window.
Or when you're eating something totally delicious and you leave the bestest bit till last: And then you drop it/it falls of the plate. ARRRGGGH!
Heh, you make me laugh Madusa
Realising I've forgotten to take my washing out and it all smells of damp tramp gets my goat.

I always forget to empty the liquid in pans/glasses/bowls before washing up. So the sink is full of hot clean bubbly water. And I have dregs of wine, tea, cereal water and pan water to get rid of somewhere else.

Neighbours who throw used nappies off their balconies in the general direction of the bins.
Neighbours throwing their bin bags near the bins instead of into them so that the foxes tear them to shreds and scatter cheap fried chicken bones & containers everywhere.
Being charged by Lambeth Council to park in the car park outside my own flat on an estate. Worse that they ran out of parking vouchers 6 weeks ago but haven't stopped the £80 a pop car clampers from coming round.

New toilets.
I had my bathroom suite changed last year and the new water saving bogs only have a bit of water in the bottom to aim at (about 4 inch diameter)
My old bog had a big pool to unload my undercarriage onto, which was nice for admiring my handy work, and also I hardly ever left any skidmarks.
Now with the 4 inch bullseye I frequently end up with last nights tea all over the porcelain.

Same ere Og, the bog here is fuckin tiny, after youve dropped your load youv'e gotta flush the fucka and give it a good brush with the bog brush, a lot of effort just to take a shite.

My mom putting water bottles in her bin, even though she knows we're trying to recycle them - she does it on purpose, I swear.
My nan rinsing out said bottles - particularly milk ones - but not getting all of the milk out, and then getting covered in rancid milk water when I go to recycle them.
Finding the toilet lid left up, despite living in a house that's all girls!!!
I'm think I may be too pedantic...it annoys me all the same.

Epistemic nuisance
People watching T.V. at a ridiculously loud level while I'm trying to sleep.
Another sleep related one, our doors creak a lot and sometimes people don't close the doors properly which means all I hear is a door creaking. I need a certain amount of silence before I sleep.

Putting CD's/DVD's into the wrong case
Putting used teaspoons on the worktop instead of in the sink/dishwasher
Putting ANYTHING related to pet feeding in the washing up with human stuff
Undoing the dog's training by inviting him onto the sofa
All these are only an issue when a particular friend comes to stay

Generally, breaking stuff (especially bottles of wine: no booze and fucking shards everywhere -arghhh!)
In a more minor way: missing the bin when I'm attempting a 3-pointer from the other side of the kitchen.

I hate it when that happens
! I managed to rip a pair of my favourite jeans doing that. We have a dado rail down the stairs that's the height of the top of your arm and I keep banging my arm on the corner and getting lots of bruises. Another banging into things-related injury is when I'm walking around in my room without the light on and hit my leg on the corner of the bed
