How in the online world it seems England=London, and that's it. Apparently there are no other cities in England.

When people suggest things to me like 'Oh why don't you just do this' and this always involves large amounts of money. It's usually friends/family who have salaries who don't stop to think - this hacks me off when they know that I am very short on money.

That Xbox music player app on Windows 8, it seems to be the only one I can open my mp3 files on. What a turd of an app that is - sometimes it plays the songs, sometimes it tells me it 'can't play' the songs. What fecks me off about that is I spent £9.00 buying an album digitally fair and square and it usually says 'NOPE won't play'. But the (probably pirated) old mp3s I stole from my mates hardrive work perfectly - every time.

Download a different player then.

My gripe today is betting adverts on TV. Especially the William Hill ones. They are so loud.

They are particularly bad during the cricket. Because they only have a few seconds between overs then tend to put the loudest, most intrusive and irritating ads in there to grab your attention and that William Hill one is a favourite of theirs.

Thank God for Test Match Special.

On that topic, the way Sky Sports and TMS never quite sync up properly. You spend two overs pausing and fast forwarding to try and get them lined up and then Sky goes to ads and it's all wrong again.

Constant references in the media to "strong women", as big a cliche now as "national treasure".

It seems the term "snowflake" sets my teeth on edge. Just discovered this today.

I cant stand the way people who are answering a question or making a statement begin by saying "So..." before they make their point. Additionally, I cringe when people are at a counter buying drinks or food or in a shop say "Can I get....? " Its even worse when middle aged people my age try and act young and do it !!!

I'm genuinely puzzled. Why is "Can I get...?" an attempt to "act young"? Everyone around here says it, regardless of age.

As Sean Lock says "Can I get a coffee? Not unless you bloody work there!"

When you give someone a lift and they moan about how crap your car is.

I had to give my old boss a lift once and he was shocked that my car didn't have central locking and moaned about a few other things. I never offered him a lift again after that.

I'm confused by this one. Does "snowflake" have some new meaning beyond "cold, white, wet thing that falls from the sky"?

Perhaps if he had paid you better, you might have been able to afford a vehicle more to his liking!

Being sick. Stomach bugs really really really piss me off.

Getting struck down with a stomach bug on the busiest day I'm meant to be at work when I'm already about 10 days behind schedule.

It's used as a derogatory term for someone that thinks they are special and unique (or a child whose parents think they are, etc.) So called because all snowflakes have a different frost pattern, so it used to be big among hippy self-help types to talk about how "we're all different, just like snowflakes!"

Speaking of terms I hate: "frick frack" in place of f*ck. This seems to be really common in certain parts of the internet now and it makes me grind my teeth

Thanks for that; never come across it at all. But yes, I think it would annoy me too

It's used to describe people (often young people) who're so very delicate that they "melt" at the slightest adversity.

Oh, thank you

My new trivial annoyance is that the sound keeps cutting out on my TV but I hurt too much to get up and sort it out.

I'm having a very woe is me day!

I can pick up and return items from Tesco Direct at my local Tesco Express, I've done so in the past....but I can't return the non-food item from Tesco Groceries because it isn't sold in that Tesco Express and isn't on their system, according to the two duty managers there.

One of the people at Tesco CS I contacted thought I could return the item there, one was not sure and handed me on to someone dealing with Tesco Direct enquiries....but luckily the last person I was handed on to by mistake was also trained to sort out Tesco Groceries problems, she booked a van to come around and exchange the faulty item for a new one at no extra cost...which is a bit strange because according to the Tesco Groceries website that item is out of stock.

I'm figuratively keeping my figures crossed.

Why are some things unnecessarily complicated, if I can return Tesco Drect items to a Tesco Express, I should also be able to return any Tesco Groceries items there.

That I can't sell myself in interviews. I had one this morning and they got back to me saying that I don't sell myself enough because I have a really impressive cv I just cant communicate all that in interviews as I lack confidence and suffer nerves. The lady did suggest that we get together over coffee and she will give me feedback and some tips.

The phrase "Shut the front door!" used instead of "Shut the **** up!"
They use it in the US because of the harsh censors, even on late night shows but now UK people are using it on telly even in late night adult shows. It just sounds stupid, especially coming from an adult.
