It's either just:

"(insert friends name)"

or

"Hey (insert friends name), have you seen this?"

or

"(insert friends name), this is what we were talking about last night."

You end up scrolling through hundreds of these "comments" to find the one or 2 genuine comments people have made.

Before you think I am a grump, I've no problem with work chat - but she's way OTT.”

Bit harsh calling her a 'Singing Pig Bag' though

Ha ha ha!!! I’m not that mean.

We’ve now had ”I’ve got a folder, you haven’t got one” in a sing-song voice, and ”See you, don’t wanna be you”.

She’s the office “turn”.

I have seen a jar of Haribo on her desk though, probably explains it all

The new trend of showing us exactly what is going to happen in a show in a 30 second montage of all of the best bits before the titles.

I know that is not new but they seem to have taken it to a new level.

I also realise that this is done to persuade anybody that was in two minds whether to continue watching but for anybody that was actually intending to watch the program all the way through....

The way the BBC still persists in making us think that the Strictly Come Dancing results show is live rather than pre-recorded the previous night.

At the moment I start at 8 and finish at 4 so miss all that but my bitch of a control freak supervisor is unreasonable and can't keep track of me when I am in before her.”

Gggggrr!! sorry to hear that. A similar thing happened to me years ago.

People that use the expression 'in the other thread ..... blah blah' in a post. What other thread? How long does it take to provide a link. Generally, lazy posters are a tad annoying.

Then you get the tl;dr posters who write a thesis on this, that and the other. The is a message board, not a university exam. Do you honestly think I've got time to read it all.

Posters who say 'read the thread' when a question is asked and the tread is dozens of pages long. As if I'm going to read it all. I don't read 99% of the threads posted here, but you still get people who seem to know everything and anything that goes on here, yet still accuse others of spending too much time on DS.

I haven't exactly got the world's greatest social life at my age, but if I were 30 years younger, I wouldn't be spending much time posting on here. Too busy going out.

Dear UEFA,

Can you please take the licence for the Champions League sticker album away from Topps and give it back to Panini? Last year's skipping over Olympique Lyonnais without mention was bad, but that's nothing compared to the following:

1 - No proper numbering of stickers (instead of 1, 2, 3 etc, they have - for example - LE1, LE2 etc for Leicester City).
2 - Any team that didn't qualify automatically is reduced to "Qualifying Team".
3 - We have to make the group standing tables ourselves, using stickers provided with the book.

There are numerous other faults, but those three are the most glaring ones. At least Panini would wait for the groups to be drawn.

Thank you,
Emily

I agree, shop lighting in general is far too strong. I have a skin condition and even on my best skin day those lights make me look dreadful
I also hate the heat from them and that they set off headaches

Idiots who run red lights, particularly pedestrian crossings. The other day I was just about to cross a busy road, the lights had just changed to red for traffic, and for some reason I decided to wait a second. Lucky that I did, because several seconds after they'd changed some ignorant old ******** in a old Citroen estate blasted through, all the time smirking at me for some reason. If I'd have stepped out when I was supposed to, I'd have likely been dead and I doubt he would have stopped. Worse I then missed the chance to cross because I was still stood at the side of the road shouting at him.

Not being able to reply to someone's PM because DS has a 300 message limit and they don't realise their box is full.

This the fault of DS and not the person.

I've wondered how they stop the studio audience spilling the results online before the Sunday show is shown?

When you make a point in a thread but no-one responds and then 3 or 4 posts later someone else makes the same point and gets all the kudos >: (

I had this last year. I'd already started crossing and he nearly ran me over. He was lucky that I've got enough vision I could see him.

How rude and judgmental some people are. I sometimes have to use a mobility cane, partly due to lack of vision and due to having no depth perception. (this makes going down stairs realy difficult because I can't judge how deep the step is) Anyway, I had my cane with me on the bus on Friday and did something which can be done by touch. (I opened a bloody packet and plugged something into my phone) 2 women sat right next to me decided I can't possibly have anything wrong with me.

TV REPEAT'S

Or rather the way they are shown, they will show something like Rebus or Dr Martin or Big Bang sequentially or on consecutive days but the episodes are in a random order making it difficult to follow the relationships of the main characters.

Why cannot they just show them in order

In this day and age, considering the laws that are meant to be in place to protect me, I don't expect to have to beg the bloody council to give me letters in large print. This has only been going on since February 2015. Every single time I've had to ask. It's supposedly on my notes that I need everything in large print. Despite this, I've had to drag myself to their office everytime and ask. The last time this happened, they said they would and didn't.

Is it really too much to ask?

Going into the Doctors, he has two chairs next to his table, one is uncomfortably close to his and the other seems too far away.

This has become endemic today, so many drivers ignoring that the light is about to turn red, or is red, and they just keep on driving through. I see this everyday - as many as 3 cars will continue on after the light has gone red and you've got the green light and have to crawl off because these losers can't be bothered to stop their cars as they are supposed to and you don't want to collide with them. Problem is there is too much of a delay in the sequence of the red to green so these bas*ards do have time to drive through a red light before the other drivers get their green.

In Australia we have cameras on the traffic lights, anyone running a red gets slapped with a $500 fine. It is needed as a matter of urgency here.
