When you post something on Facebook, someone comes in and hijacks it with a completely different topic.

The countdown clock at the beginning of the BBC News, where the tenths of a second digit only ever shows 0, 1 or 2.
I think it's one number per frame @ 25 frames per second.

Might be wrong though...

People who refer to a "drawer" as a "draw".

I pronounce it as "draw" (as perhaps most people do?) but would never spell it that way.

When you call a company and, when put on hold, it's always the same crap piece of music. Every single time. Why can't they just invest in a system that feeds a radio channel into the phone whilst you wait?

Because that would incur a licensing cost they don't want nor need to.

Ages ago when Wordperfect was the ne plus ultra of Wordprocessing, their UK office had a DJ on the helpline.

These days I like trying and figure out where the music loop begins and ends

Does any actual work ever take place?
Yes but it's only me who does it!

I thought Mr Rolleyes smiley had returned but maybe not. I need him right now.

When people use the remote control by holding it with one hand and using the index finger on the other to work the buttons.

You must be a right clever-clogs! I have to use both hands, but in the privacy of my own home that won't bother you, I hope!

People who go into the 'trivial things that annoy you' thread and take offense at trivial things that annoy people.

The cars I let out of junctions always seem to go at a snails pace one let out - today I had one do 35 in the 60 zone, empty road ahead. I let him out to be kind then once again regretted it.

I think the reason that I do notice them sat at junctions is simply because they don't get a move on and pull out into a gap and put their foot down, preferring to wait to be let out.

When you're ordering a pizza with a mate and you go for a half-and-half topping, and they pick something with a base of BBQ sauce base, which means at least two of your slices (the ones bordering theirs) are ruined by tasting all barbecuey.

Similarly when you go to a restaurant with someone who keeps on looking at the menu even though you've both decided what you're getting meaning the waiter will think they're still deciding and not approach to take your order.

All the complaining about ladies' razors being more expensive than men's "for the same thing."
If they're the same why not just buy the men's ones?
Duh.

I usually close their menu for them.

When people come in your office in three jumpers a coat and a scarf and say how can you work in such a warm office.

Just had this happen to me. Pass my phone to show someone one photo and they start scrolling through others unrelated to what I was showing them. I had to grab it quickly but not make it look suspicious. Last time I do that, next time I will keep hold of it.

Those horrible little plastic tags on new clothes
Either they disappear into the garment or , in trying to cut them off, you nick the fabric
