My earphones. Nice Skullcandy in-ear buds, give a pretty good sound and they weren't expensive. But I swear they are alive. Every time I try to pick them up the buds grip onto something or the other end has burrowed under something, or else the flex has somehow tangled itself into a Gordian knot. Are Skullcandy using very thin snakes in the manufacturing process?

The banter on Live CDs always being at track end, rather than track start.

So for example on 'Nirvana MTV Unplugged in New York', or Fleetwood Mac's The Boston Box, the track gets to the end of the song and then the singer talks about the following track. If you are playing a live album on shuffle you hear them talking about the song, and you think great I'm looking forward to hearing that song, but then the shuffle happens and the song never plays.

And trying to untangle it, the rubber bud comes off, bounces 3 times and rests at the most inaccessible spot it can find

When people use the remote control by holding it with one hand and using the index finger on the other to work the buttons.
How else can you do it?

I admit I usually have to use both hands. I have fairly small hands and the various buttons on our remotes are too numerous and too far apart for me to reach them all with my thumbs.

Oh I didn't see there are two columns of smileys.

My annoyance currently is men who become aggressive when you tell them you're not interested. Their attitude stinks.

That could be not trivial

Especially when it's some weirdo you don't know.

Is it supposed to be a frame counter? (guessing, haven't seen it).
Hmmm, I suppose it could be. Damn, that's one less thing to be irritated about!

People who use the phrase "a mute point" when they mean a moot point. See also "chester drawers", "a suppose to" etc...

My family pronounces it this way, so I used to think there were such a thing as "chester drawers"

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.
We can't use men's razors - our hands are too delicate to hold them.

Hair washers at the salon who seem intent on getting through to your skull with their hands (head massage)

I'm too polite to stop them (they never ask!) so just grit my teeth and try not to squirm too much.

Yes, that's why we need special pens

https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Retractab...ds=Bic+for+her

The Questions about the product are classic Especially doesn't realise the questioner isn't being serious "Does this pen work on men's paper" ? The comments are worth reading too

As for your original question, I buy a bag of men's disposable razors, it's just a pity they do them in blue instead of pink

The name Julie. Even more if they shorten it to Ju. That's annoying. Even more annoying is when they have JUE as a car number plate.
