I have a flight of steps on the outside of the house leading from my front door (which is on the side of the house, I live upstairs) down into the side yard. There's a particular step there that is a deathtrap in winter, due to the way water drips from a roof corner on to it. It freezes and is basically impossible to keep clear.
I slipped on it today.
Landed on my ass and slid all the way to the bottom. Fortunately the ass was fat so I was unharmed, just my dignity was damaged. But my pants were a wreck and had to go in the wash (eh, overdue for it anyway) and I've been in a shitty mood about it since. Especially since coming back upstairs after dinner I SLIPPED ON THE STEP AGAIN
Oh, and a more constant annoyance -- the intercom ringtone for the house phone handsets. It's different from the regular ringtone and is completely unchangable. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't this horrible BWAWWWWNNNNNNNK sound. I swear I want to throw it every time it goes off.
