Try these, if not already. https://www.google.co.uk/search?pws=...dmi&gws_rd=ssl

People who put tickets in the ticket barriers at stations with their left hand, thus standing slightly off centre and blocking two barriers not just the one they are going through.

* this is in addition to people who approach the barriers in busy stations without their ticket in hand and people who go through the barriers with their cases and then immediately stop on the other side to put their ticket away again...blocking the exit.

Agreed! As if a real plant would grow like that.

The use of "mother's maiden name" as a security or background checking question. It gets frustrating having to explain each time that my mother does not have a "maiden name" (in our culture and many others, married women don't change their names.) They then ask for the name that she's had since birth ... which is hardly secure, is it?! Even if you have a mother, and only one mother, and she did change her name - it's still easier than ever before now to find out what her "maiden name" might have been. It's a ridiculous question IMO and yet they continue to use it.

Just give a name or word that means something to you. No need to explain to them, as long as you know the answer when they ask in future that's all that matters.

My cats do this too, they also only eat certain brands of cat biscuits - the food snobs, will turn their nose up at other brands.

My annoyance is when a friend asks you to meet up with them for their birthday and you agree.Then later you find out where the venue is (one that is crap). I can't back out of it now.

It must be a Panasonic thing because my Sony remembers which HDMI I left it on but my parents Panasonic automatically goes to TV.

Toothache. Got up at five today, got ready for work, got part of the way there and gave up with toothache {and miss overtime pay as a result. ). I think i actually have an infection in my jaw which I don't have time to get sorted due to said work but I suppose at least explains why I feel randomly ill on and off.

If you think you have an infection you need to get it sorted, a friend of mine ignored a tooth abscess until it ballooned half of his face and neck.

Nip to a walk in centre they can give you antibiotics straight away without having to faff going to chemists with prescription etc.

My Panasonic goes straight to Freeview. The only way I get it to go to HDMI1 automatically is to turn TV first and then whatever you have the HDMI1 connected to (Sky box in my case). As soon as the sky box turns on it goes staight to HDMI. Doesn't bother me, it's just a case of doing it in that order.

Think i might do that, and theres a dental hospital so might try there too. I've tried getting it sorted but theres always a three week wait between appoitments and the dentist was always doing other things like scaling, so I didn't think it was too serious.

That I haven't yet found the secret to putting on tights and keeping my dignity intact... I always look like Elvis having a fit.

Chihiro: Definitely go and get your tooth seen to asap. I had an infection that I didn't get treated quickly enough and I lost a bit of the bone

I can't take large deliveries at the Front (my Postal address) but van and lorry drivers are requested to go 'round the back' (with simple details) where our driveway is accessed.

This is ALWAYS recorded in the Special Instructions box on the Delivery Note.

NOT ONCE, in all the years we have lived here, has any driver (or Tradesman) managed to do this on first visit.

We've been doing that since we were kids. I try my best not to compete against her, but I always end up doing it before I realise what I'm doing. I'm fairly sure she tries her best not to compete against me, but like me, she couldn't help it.

She's the only person who can bring out the competitive monster in me. Argh.”

If your cousin lives in Battersea, but says that she lives in South Chelsea, then you win hands down, competition over.

I've got a bit of phlegm stuck at the back of my throat and it's itching. I can't seem to get rid of it,horrible.

Also when I accidentally knock over a glass of water and cordial - now matter how fast I clean it up it sinks into my carpet and smells. Like a mixture of mold and soil, yuck. It's the kind of smell that hits ya as soon as ya go in my room,dunno how to get rid of it.

It really isn't my day

People who stuff napkins down their shirts at restaurants- childish and annoying

Also when you're at a restaurant and want a dessert after your meal I hate getting the dessert list in the main menu. I like having a separate menu for desserts and after meal drinks.
