If you've got loads of spaces around you park horizontally or in some other awkward position across the bays so they cannot park beside you

People who wouldn't know a good thing if it slapped them upside the head 5 billion times.
People who waste hours of your life - for absolutely ****ing nothing. And don't anyone say 'I wasted 2 hours of my life in a work meeting today' NO you did not because you got paid for it.

Interviewers who think they are clever by inventing stupid tests with moronic questions. No you are not clever asking me out of the blue 'how many motorbikes are in Florida?' that does not in any way represent how talented/skilled I am at my work.

In answer to the thread title : people.

Every time someone asks 'how is soandso, what do you make of them?' and I say ' yeah they seem quite a nice person' I can guarantee the next time I see the person concerned they will be selfish/horrible. So now I am not saying anything because it's like a jinx.

- Buying items from an online store, only for them to start an unannounced 25% off sale the next morning

- Constantly having to chase management for information or help.

- That I seem to be the only person in this house that knows what a sodding hoover is.

1. When someone uses a term that only they know in conversation and expect you to ask what it is. For example, one of my friends always uses terms/slang that his family made up. He'll say something and wait for us to ask what he is talking about. If we don't ask, he'll question whether we understood what he said! Hard work.

2. Parents who park in parent/child spaces when their kids aren't with them.

3. People who walk slowly in front of you and each time you go to pass them, they block you without realising.

People that drift in supermarkets because they're too busy fooking about on their phone to walk in a straight line.

Emirates' "Fly Emirates to 6 Continents" slogan when it's displayed at football matches in the United Kingdom. (And also the Emirates Air Line cars in east London.)

It's clearly aimed at those in Asia and Australasia - you're not going to fly to either North or South America or Africa via Dubai.

I am intrigued too.

It annoys me intensely that he should have to worry about being mocked so won't say.

Teenage boys who think the coolest thing ever is wearing their hoodies, walking with their friends up and down a cold rainy street. I've been a teenager yet never saw the appeal in it.
Also said teens messing about at traffic lights, too busy 'fake' punching their friends,so that other people (self included) don't get to cross over at the green light because of their arsing about.

What an utterly shit day.

Just bought a Joker Minifig on eBay for £6. Then did a search and for £4 I coulda got the same darn fig plus a little vehicle for him to ride about in... AND the £4 item was brand new unlike the £6 one. Got too caught up with the sniping.

It's been a miserable day here, but not too rainy or anything. I decided I'd wander out to the shops for a few bits, so I got all wrapped up and set off. I got all the way around the shops and on the last few minutes of my walk home the heavens opened. Sleet, hail, driving rain - I was sopping by the time I got home. Then, as I shut the front door, it stopped. Typical!

That happens all over Yahoo Answers too, although YA does seem to be largely populated by teenagers.

Places that offer free wifi that's crap wifi. No wifi is better than crap wifi because no wifi means I can save time and not bother connecting to wifi only to sit there struggling to get one single basic page to load on my phone.

If i know there isn't wifi, I'll keep my phone in my pocket, drink my coffee and be satisfied with it.

Advertise wifi? I'm human, I'll try to get online, won't be able to because it's crap and slow and my whole experience will be ruined and I won't be coming back to your establishment because I'll remember it as the place with crap wifi.

I'm sorry Zwixxx. I feel your pain! Even though it's only a couple of quid, it still makes you go "Blaaaargh!"

Yup. Definitely. I wish it wasn't so important in life at times, but it is. I agree with the idea of "if you don't advertise it - fine!". Like my local coffee shop - it has a sign saying "We have no WiFi - talk to each other instead" which I like (there's only 3 wifi hotspots in town so can't connect to those either OR 2/3/4G ).

I find it so annoying that the ferry service from the mainland advertises free wifi. Yeah, in the terminal (terminally SLOW that is...). On board it's not even worth connecting. I recall on my way home from Lerwick last autumn a woman was shaking her iPad complaining that it was defective because it said she had no net and her phone had no 3g. That's just life here love *missingrollyeyes*

I've spent 6 hours trying to load my email on more than one occasion. I'd have been better off training dolphins to carry mail towards my cabin. I know it's not an absolute necessity on board (pretty much everyone on the island knows to check the ferry / bus / radio page for anything relating to folk on board - or if the damn thing has sunk), but if I have a 6 hour journey ahead of me, I want to catch up with work damnit! Oh well. Gives me time to sit in the bar drinking beer and reading books I suppose.

Sorry this one's been a bit of a ramble, but when you don't have proper 2G nevermind 3G available, WiFi can seem like a saviour at times

I bet my seller laughed himself to sleep after seeing some numpty pay sooooooooooooooooooo much for some cheapass figure. - but seeing the "only a couple of quid" does kinda make me realise I'm using way to my energy bothering myself about such a wee little amount - especially after just returning from Tescos with my 6 series 15 mini-fig bags (including amongst them, if I felt right, should be 2 more Shark-Guys to add to my collection).

Guilty, but I figure the childs car seat being there is like a 'pass'......... I know, hang head in shame, I will try not to do it again. (In all honesty, I shop at odd hours anyway and never are all those lovely wide spaces taken).

Fuzzy worded job ads. My thoughts I'll put in brackets

"An internationally renowned brand (Who- McDonalds? Rolls Royce? Versace? Spam? Lego? Green Giant Sweetcorn?) is looking for dynamic person to help run operations (retail operations, logistics? Human resources? Manufacturing operations?) from its regional Berkshire offices (where in Berkshire, Reading? Slough? Rural Berkshire?). Driving license is preferred as candidate may be asked to travel (where- around Berkshire? South of England? Whole of the UK?). We are looking for someone who is passionate about our product (I don't know what your product is) to expand business and join a winning team.

Hours: Variable (that tells me nothing)

Salary- competitive (also tells me nothing)


Citizens Advice tried to intervene about this a year ago but nothing has been done

People who think if there are two separate tills open, there must be two separate queues as well. If only they look around, they will see there is one long queue instead of going behind the single customer who being served at the second till! The cashiers even let them get away with it!

I'm trivially annoyed that you're both trivially annoyed.
