I’m not a fan of Winkleman, her fringe, or any programme she appears in, including the radio, but what really grinds my gears is an office bully. Now that I can’t stand.

Getting disheartened by the opinion of people I've never met on Facebook.
I probably wouldn't even like the person if I met them so their low opinion of me shouldn't bloody matter.

So basically I'm grinding my own gears.

+1 for the above.

Today I've been annoyed by a spoon.

Tickets for attractions that are valid for repeat visits for 12 months.

They might be great for those that live locally - but if I'm visiting the area as a tourist - it's a really expensive day ticket.

When people offer me those tickets I'm so tempted to say "I don't need one, I won't be coming back".

I take it to mean, we know that practically no one is going to return if they have to pay so much, so we'll let them in for free and hope they bring friends/spend money in the cafe.

I don't mind if those tickets are options, but there are places where that is the only ticket they offer - they are really annoying!
