Things that annoy you more than they should

No doubt there's a rational explanation for this, so full yer boots, boffins.

Paint charts. You wander around B&Q, pondering what colour to paint your hall. Having decided on a colour you pick up a sample pot (for a bargain five quid), then slap it on your hall wall only to find it's about 37 shades darker than it appears on the paint chart.

WTF?

Some paint companies have an app that lets you take a photograph of your room on your device and then put any colour paint on your walls. It's not perfect but we found it very useful.

Ooh. Game changer. Googling this. Cheers.

The light bulb is everything here. Paint colours vary significantly under different lights (white, soft, warm). Have a mess about with a different bulb.

This reminds me of the days when I would do my own decorating. I worked flat out on hall, stairs and landing and my wife came home from work and said she didn’t like it. Three months of nagging later, it was gone and a new colour was on the walls. I retired my brushes on the back of this debacle.

Is your wife painting the hall, etc now?

I was in a church in Neath just now watching my youngest grandson’s class singing and two male parents sat through the whole service wearing baseball caps and it really irritated me.

The longer they're on sale, the more likely people will book them by mistake or when they're drunk? I can't imagine people paying money to see Alan Carr in any other circumstances.

Also customers money sitting in either ticket selling agents or Alan Carr bank account earning interest. It's not right, not for that far in advance.

I get annoyed with myself when I take the pee out of Darran. I'm sorry. Genuinely.

Oh no, that would be carnage. I’d rather do it myself.

Prick.

Emails from Netflix asking "What did you think of series <whatever>?". If it was shit I click the thumbs-down and it takes me into the episode guide where I can watch further episodes. That makes zero sense.
