What's mildly irritating you today?

[Sundae]

Turns out we're travelling via Manchester, not Leeds. Have already nipped off and back with no worries. Noisy Eastern European man has got off, but new complement of passengers getting on and I have found myself in the middle of an African contingent, which is out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I don't judge people on their nationality (although previous experience is that they will be very noisy) but on their behaviour. I've already been barged about and the woman behind is already stuffing herself very VERY loudly while talking at top volume on her phone.

Disgusting.

Have to hope my earplugs are up to the job. And doubly hope I retain my double seat as this is the last stop now before London.

ETA - just pulling out of the bus station, double-seat safe!

Sometimes, it's the small victories!

An eminently sensible travel accessory.

I have a pair of same on the desk in front of me. Particularly useful when aged dad is watching TV with the volume turned up to just a shade lower than that created when Krakatoa exploded
