Idiot on a bike nearly knocked me down flying past me on the footpath despite a nice wide bike path on the road.

People who are not prepared at petrol stations. Causing issues and slowing people up.

Checked the progress of the clothes drying on the line this afternoon They were almost there, but since there were clear skies above, I decided to leave them for 20 mins and have a cup of tea and watch the news.

Of course, it started bucketing down and I forgot about the washing and wished I'd brought it in when I had the chance.

Washing and drying clothes are by a distance the most frustrating of all household tasks (at least, in Scotland with our weather).

Should have had a parcel delivered today by UPS. I've had notification saying it was "delivered" and left at "other" -I've not received the parcel and I have no idea what "other" is supposed to mean - I've been in the house during the delivery time slot and when it was supposed to have been delivered.

I've had to set up a claim and that itself is another level of frustration!

Can't get my sleep schedule back to normal after two weeks of leave. Still going to bed at 1 or 2 in the morning.

New neighbours who I have never met before putting in delivery preferences that it is okay for me, three doors down, to take parcels in...then not coming to collect the parcel from me for days and saying they were expecting me to drop it round to them when they eventually come to get it.

No wonder you are annoyed! The delivery service puts a slip through telling them where the item is for a reason why on earth should you have to re-deliver their stuff! I would refuse to take it in if I were you, plenty of other people do it
