People texting. Full stop!

People eBaying Shark-Guy for >£4. Seriously ?! Just find a shop with a series 15 box and give them all a feel. The shark suit is one of the easier things to feel for, and it'll only cost you £2.50. Plus you get to feel all smug as you walk away with the last one and leave behind a bunch of crying kids who "really REALLY wanted a Mr Skarky fig"

Not my boy. He's mastered the 'fingering of the packets' much to the non amusement of the shop staff.

Tiny fingers and a printout of one of the helpful feel guides people have posted on reddit = a complete set of 16 with no duplicates, right ?!
btw: if any shop worker said "hey, wtf, you can't do that", my response would be: if I feel them I buy more cos I hate duplicates, if I don't feel them I won't buy any, so go stack some shelves and leave me alone, darn it. - then when they walk away I'd go thru the boxes and nab myself all 10 shark guys.

Not quite full sets, his pocket money doesn't stretch that far what with other things he wants to buy too and I will only finance a limited number of extra minifigs, but yes he does get the ones he wants via a good packet rummage. The only 'printouts' we tried (and I assume what you are talking about) was from a set with 'code' dots along the seam if memory serves me right. Anyway, that was harder than just letting him grope away (with the evil glare).

iiuc Lego stopped doing the dots a number of series back, darn it.

Parent and child spaces that are the same size as regular spaces but just closer to the store. What's the point? I need the space to lift the car seat in and out of the back of my 3 door car. I'm not that lazy that I can't walk a few extra yards.

It's "Patch Tuesday" so Microsoft have released a whole load of updates for Windows, but they've not yet published the corresponding KB web page so there's no way of knowing what "important security update" is precisely for.

I agree. Locations are mostly useless as for e.g. it will say Cheshire - where? That's not necessarily Chester. They rarely list salaries, the ones that get my back up are companies that are describing a skilled job (with degree) yet only offer to pay minimum wage. Shameful.


My laptop keyboard is on the fritz

A couple of things, most notably, people over 12 who don't have the excuse of being dyslexic, who can't spell for toffee and have poor grammar, especially people who can't tell the difference between your and you're!

What also winds me up immensely, is when I'm watching WWE, and a wrestler punches his opponent with the left or right fist, the commentators say "oh what a right hand!" when the guy punching is CLEARLY punching with the LEFT hand! I mean yeah OK up to about 10 years ago I had difficulty telling my left and right, due to poor co-ordination, but now I know my left and right, this winds me up when they do it.

Lately, people on TV, mainly the News, when asked a question respond with "So, ......."

..... and "I mean" before every answer.

I've noticed the foreign ads more this season in the PL.

Gone are the days of having the local builder or similar on the hoardings.

DS have put a ad/banner above the bar at the top and it's making the page jump on load and broken the back button!

Zebra crossings. In particular:

i) People who walk up to a crossing and then step into the road without looking;

ii) A certain crossing near me that is lined up perfectly with the doors of a mini-Sainsbury's. Some people walk out of the shop and straight onto the road without breaking step;

iii) Crossings immediately after a roundabout;

iv) Poorly lit crossings.

Eye snot!

People who blow their noses when I am eating.
I realise you have blow your nose if you have a cold, but it does put me off my food.

People who drop litter.
When my boys were small I always taught them to never drop litter and if they did they knew they would be sent back to pick it up.
I remember one day I was out with my youngest and his Grandad and Grandad always had bits and pieces in his pockets including bits of tissues, he had his hand in his pocket and when he pulled it out he had some tissue round his fingers and it dropped onto the ground, my youngest quick as a flash said to him " Grandad please pick your litter up and put it back in your pocket".
Grandad is now dead but it is something that always stuck in his memory and he often mentioned it to me with a smile.

I've just been asked to do something, however they haven't given me access to the programme. They have sidelined me from all the responsibility and refused me access but now all of a sudden they realise they need my help. Idiots, next time don't ignore your most experienced member of staff, don't try and push them to the side and take away all their responsibility and give it to a part-time temp, because now you have a situation where you need their help and they can't help you.

Apparently a maintenance person has left several texts and voicemails to discuss work needed. Just been through my phone and found one text.

People on maternity who bring their ugly kid in to show around the office.

I hate that. So what if you've had a bairn. Who cares?

A girl keeps coming into where I work showing her kid off. She doesn't even work here anymore and the kid must be at least two by now. Bugger off!

Also, I hate it when I get a treat such as a chippy and I finish my can of juice before I finish the meal

Same thing where I work. All work ceases for at least an hour as baby is paraded from desk to desk.

I can't wait to do this
