    The fact we have the work Christmas tree up. We've had it a month already, but head office want it up to promote christmas bookings.

    Aaaaagggggh- it's July!!!! >:(

    Surely they can think of ways of promoting Christmas bookings without doing that!

    Websites that insist you register an account before being allowed to view the content. I don't think so.

    That bugs me as well but that's why i have a spare 'junk' email account to use. Either that, or just use "me@here.com" because often, the site software really only looks for the "@<something>.com" part and assumes it's a valid email.

    i remember creating a new password for the application I use at work and it said "cannot be the same as your previous 5 passwords". I wouldn't mind but it was still saying it on my tenth go : |

    I was just thinking about this earlier, while I mess around with my system.
    I haven't come across a restriction of 5 yet though!

    For some reason this one thing that happened about 15 years ago came to mind last nigh and remembered how it annoyed me intensely at the time. I taped an episode of ER on VHS for a friend. We agreed I'd tape it, he'd watch it over the weekend and he'd return the cassette to me on Monday. The ER episode was taped after something else I recorded on the tape, but not watched yet. Anyway, my friend took it home, watched the episode of ER, rewound the cassette and then taped something else over my programme (he watched the thing he taped before the Monday). I wasn't pleased. It was never mentioned that there was something on the tape that I wanted to watch, but I felt it was a liberty to tape something on someone else's cassette. We didn't fall out over it anything like that, but between you and me, I was seething inside. I'll get over...someday.

    I once lent a cassette tape to someone so they could learn a song. I got it back without the case, which was annoying because I then didn't have a note of what else was on it and ended up recording over something I would have otherwise wanted to keep!

    Where I work, there are signs telling us not to put chewing gum in the urinal and not to put paper towels down the khazi.

    Either they think we're f***ing thick or or it gives some jobsworth something to do.

    We're also told not to take 2 paper towels, so I take 3.

    '24/7' - is it really too time consuming and/or difficult to say '24 hours a day, 7 days a week'?!

    This! This annoys me intensely! I would take as many as I fancied.

    Also - long, pointy fingernails, shaped a bit like a teardrop. They look dangerous. And annoy me intensely.

    Could your dizzy spells be to you not getting enough nutrients in your diet?

    I doubt it since I take a multi vit daily and they come and go

    The London Anniversary Games.

    We get it: London 2012 was great. Do we need a reminder of it *every* year?

    Actually, that sounds more like an inner-ear thing...

    Only could mind you, best to get it seen by the GP if unsure.

    I had it for a while and did the exercises to try to move the crystals. It went and has never come back!

    The article is a bit OTT I think.

    There are videos of how to do the Brandt - Daroff exercises on You Tube if you're interested. They worked for me.

    People moaning about seagulls leading my regional news, and increasingly national news.

    I'd include simply people who moan about seagulls too but it's not so trivial if it gets to the stage where a cull is implemented. I don't like One Direction. Can I cull them too?

    i'll sign that petition
