Anyone who claims so and so speaks for 'ordinary people'. I'm an ordinary person and they don't speak for me. Why not just say you agree with them, rather than claiming they speak for everyone?

That's a good one.

In a similar vein, it annoys me when I'm watching the news & some person I've never heard of or layed eyes upon is referred to as a 'Community Leader' & given licence to discuss an issue that is being talked about.

Who on Earth decides that some random person leads a community?

Yes and it's just accepted. People trying to elevate themselves and their views.

Kind of on a similar note, that time a few years ago during her previous stint as a judge on The X Factor when the press were forever labelling Cheryl Cole (as she was then called) a 'National Treasure'. I don't remember there being a vote for this title. She wasn't my treasure so stop speaking on the nations behalf. Thankfully they have seemed to stop doing this more recently.

But to be fair to her she did take the mickey out of this title during the National Treasure sketch on this years Comic Relief.

Couples who insist on holding hands or clinging to each other constantly. Was on a tour the other day that involved heights, uneven floors and almost 200 spiralling steps so narrow you had to turn your feet sideways. Lassie on the tour wouldn't stop clinging to her boyfriend for the entire 90 minutes. I can understand if it was just on the upper levels due to the height, but it was throughout. Passed them in the street later in the day and she was still clinging on!

I have a few guy friends who pride themselves on speaking the truth and being honest/not bullshitters. But they ask me for my opinion on situations and get offended when I tell them what I honestly see from my point of view.
Maybe from now on I should ask 'would you like the *honest opinion or the friendly opinion?'

And the funny thing is my honest opinion isn't catty or bitchy.
One example is this mate who had a very out-there, bad idea which he planned to throw himself into completely. He asked what I thought of it and I said something like 'don't get too attached to the idea, don't pin all your hopes on it' and he got angry and called me a 'horrible friend'.
Should I just have said 'this is a brilliant idea' and let him go out there and embarrass himself? I thought I was doing the right thing as a mate.

People who don't replenish toilet roll. Someone must be aware that they used the last piece of paper, so why don't they be considerate of the next user and put a new one in?!

Or the people that leave 1 piece on the role to avoid the blame.

Because you've either over taxed the system resources or something isn't compatible. Does it always happen after a set time, or when you are creating an effect...in other words look at what you are doing when it crashes. If you have Windows Vista or later have you looked at Reliability Monitor to find out why?

Possibly within Photoshop there are too many canvases/windows open (which I minimize and work on one) but we're only talking about 5 or 6 canvases at most.
Usually happens within about 2hrs none of the buttons work, whenever I click anything I just hear an error type sound from my laptop and it freezes. Seems the only way to get it working is to ctrl,alt and delete. Means I have to open everything up again.
And I'm constantly saving work to be on the safe side.
I have Windows 8.

Going to the supermarket with a list of about 5 items in your head and forgetting to buy one of them.

Or the opposite, going to the supermarket with a list of about 5 items in your head and ending up with a trolley full of stuff you don't need but looked appealing as it was all on offer.

Charity reps or 'chuggers' trying to initiate a conversation on the street with some zany comment. Shove it up your bollocks.

Any kind of contractor or tradesmen. All rip-off merchants, all brick-chewing simpletons and most annoyingly, all called Dave.

Charity people who ask ''Do you want to help cancer sufferers today?'' or something like that, because i'm awkward and end up saying ''no, sorry''. Which makes me sound like a right dick. I'm stealing shove it up your bollocks btw!

It's not even as if I can afford to spend so much time on one as there are so many left to do.

On the theme of supermarkets, people who fill their trolleys with items and use the self scan tils. Pretty sure they're for people with baskets as a quick way to shop, that's why they have the shelf at the til for the basket.

At the self scan area had this guy in front of me who had a trolley full of beer bottles who held up the queue. And I was only carrying 2 items, he didn't let me go in front of him.
If it were the other way around I'd have let him go in front of me, but then I wouldn't be so stupid as to take a full trolley into the basket/self scan section.
Harrumph.

Just imagine if we had the ability to travel back in time.

We go back to a medieval village, capture the village idiot and bring him back to the present. We lock him in a basement and play him incessant death metal music night and day so he gets no sleep and every three hours we send someone in to beat him over the head and neck with a big stick.

After four weeks of this treatment we take him to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland and hand him a fourth generation photocopy of the instructions for the facility in Swedish and give him five minutes to find the Higgs Boson.

He would still be less confused by the situation in front of him than the average person trying to buy something on a self-service checkout.

Highly rated reviews that say how much their uncle loved his birthday present, but which contain no actual useful information about the product.

Haha.

I've never found the self scan tils particularly confusing, the only time I need help is when being asked to show I.D as I have a young looking face :/

My gripe is overly affectionate couples in public. And shitty friends who put way less into the friendship than you do.
