It may be free, but it doesn't prevent people grumbling. I remember when the first ads were introduced and they were just a few seconds long and you could skip them halfway through. Now I'm getting adverts that ask me to select an option on the screen to take me to a personalised commercial for some 4x4 that I have no intention of buying.

At home, on my laptop I'm grateful for AdBlocker, but when multitasking at work, I don't have that luxury.”

Hmmm maybe not a fox licking its balls, but im more than happy to sit through an advert before watching a 6 second video of a screaming goat.

Adverts, advertising, marketing - they can all do one.

When I try to staple something but it's run out of staples.

Being tired all day and then wide awake when I get into bed.

Car heater taking longer than my journey to work to warm up.

James O'Brien. Give me 2 minutes alone with him

Wires that magically tangle themselves into double reef knots when you let go of them.

The odd cups of tea that just don't taste right.

The way I'm labeled weird for not really liking music. Well, I think you're stranger for not liking photography and movies. Why do I have to like what you like?

Public toilets. Why do they all have to reek of germs and never offer running hot water???

The way a lot of people now send important messages through Facebook and then get annoyed when I haven't seen it. If it's so important then text or call me!!!

When there's severe delays on the central line and there's always one or two idiots that will still try and squeeze past you on a full and crowded train. I had to put up with this last night on the way home from work.

When you have visitors & you ask if they want tea or coffee & they reply, whatever you're making! Aaagh, it drives me nuts. I can easily make either, just say what you want!

Politeness annoys you?

Harsh.

And yes you can make either, but a nice pot of either will taste nicer than individuals.

No politeness doesn't annoy me, look at the the title of the thread hence my comment.

Yes it's trivial but when I ask if someone wants tea or coffee, making a pot of tea & 1 or 2 cups of coffee hardly equates to the trouble of cooking a 5 course meal so I'd much prefer them to say rather than go through the usual......"I can make either so whichever you prefer"

But they're being polite by saying it and saying it annoys you.

Hmmm.

On my list then people who are annoyed by something and then say they aren't...

If someone said that to me I'd just chuck hot water in theor face

Borrowing a book from the library and finding that a previous borrower has annotated all through it - usually drawing lines beneath words or phrases.

Deface your own books if you want to, but not books that you don't own and of course don't expect that subsequent readers need the benefit of your wisdom.

Jeez you aren't half making a big deal of me finding it annoying when people can't simply say if they want tea or coffee.

You must be really easily annoyed if you saying I'm not polite & me disputing this, to add it to, what must be an ever growing list of annoyances.

Why not disable the global spelling and grammar checks then? Type into Google 'disable spellcheck word xxxx' where xxxx = the word version you have e.g. 2007.

Dont think you get many visitors if that's how you talk to people.

Good - day, madam!

This is a light hearted discussion which, imo, you've taken far too seriously, I've nothing else to say to you apart from, please refrain from being rude & don't make assumptions about me. Thank you.

When I can feel myself getting ill and know there is naff all I can do but wait for the inevitable feeling of utter shittiness when I wake up tomorrow.

People with dentures gurning - sorry, "grinning". Looks unnatural and to me it's distracting and off-putting.

When it turns out you've been singing the wrong lyrics to a song. And my version is so much better (imo) - I'm sticking to it.
I could have sworn a Radiohead song goes
'Oh, this dread still covers us
You've gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me'

but it turns out it's
'Oh, this dread circumference
You've gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me'

This is me, sorry

I say good morning to everyone no matter the time of day or evening, I'm only just starting to realise it gets on people's nerves

Not sure of the grammatical term but the omission of the word "is" from spoken English as in lyrics from Shout Out To My Ex:

"Heard he in love with some other chick
[...}
I hope she gettin’ better sex".

Seems to be common among African Americans but the bint that sings this lyric is a white girl from Newcastle.

EDIT Oh and "I'mma ..."

Just jars.

Had an interview a couple months ago which wasn't very professional. They told me that they'd get back to me within a week to let me know if I'd got the job or not but they didn't bother. I was checking my emails yesterday & noticed one from them...their newsletter! Seems they decided to add me to their mailing list.
