When people end a comment they make with "love"

I just find it incredibly patronising.

When somebody famous dies and regular people on social media think their statements are important and post 'My thoughts go out to X's family' blah blah.

Two things today:

1 - A new DVD that was released on Monday: Frozen - The Sing-Along Edition.

Presumably it's aimed at those who don't know that their DVD/Blu-ray player's remote control has a button marked "Subtitles" or similar.

2 - Christmas gift guides. Why do they ALWAYS have underwear for women? This was taken to bizarre lengths yesterday: the Metro had underwear as a great Christmas idea for your mother.

Selfies.

Not just the ridiculous name, obsession and vanity, but the method.

Timers have been on cameras for decades but now people have regressed to holding phones out at arms length or, worse, taking a picture in the mirror - so we have a picture of you holding a phone and, sometimes, for some reason, the person is looking at the screen on the phone in the picture

Like this
Look what you can buy now! A 'selfie stick':

The perfect present for the self-regarding pillock in your life.

Forgetting to watch the first episode of a TV series before it expires on the various on-demand platforms. If I miss Episode 4/6, then I can deal with it but if I miss the first episode, I just give up on the series. It happened with Series 1 of The Fall recently.

The fact that I spent the whole of one evening trying to get my Windows Media Player to open. I tried absolutely everything - nothing. Asked a knowlegable colleague at work to have a look but he suggested downloading and using VLC player instead as it was much more advanced than Windows and it was free, so I did. Next day, tried to use VLC and even that wouldn't open. Ggggrrrr! It showed up on the address bar but nothing on the screen. AND THEN I REMEMBERED - why don't I try switching on the other monitor! Yes, and there it was and had been, alongside Windows Media Player ALL THE F!CKING TIME!!

When you see something on eBay, something very rare and impressively cheap, something akin to the missing piece in your 10+year old 1000+ jigsaw puzzle, something you just gotta GOTTA have. Then you forget all about it for a couple of days, only to remember about 2 hours after the damn auction has ended. So now you're looking at your frustratingly unsatisfyingly incomplete puzzle thinking to yourself "what's the point in keeping it if it ain't whole" (ish)

Also, when I'm typing on my new (2nd hand) laptop and the cursor suddenly moves for no reason whatsoever. It's as if I clicked a mouse button and the cursor goes to where the mouse icon thing is located. And if I don't spot it quickly enough I have to delete a bunch of text that's typed in the wrong fkn place. Serves me right for buying this cheapo crappy thing but methinks I can probably blame my parents for this one cos their combined DNA produced this fugly person who made sure to by a non-reflective laptop so to avoid staring at his mug whilst using it, thus saddling himself with a crappy bita kit. (Maybe I can sue them )

[edit] just seen someone else is selling that missing piece on eBay. Double the price I coulda got it for but it's available nonetheless.

I ALWAYS find number 1 confusing especially since I have to use subtitles anyway and most do include them for any songs sung, especially so in musicals lol

When people learn you're from a big family, some tend to ask "Are you Catholic?" You say no. They ask "Mormon?" No. "Muslim?" No. "What's your religion?" None. "All right, what's your family's religion?" Pretty much none. "Why do you have a big family then?"

That irritates me so much. How about minding your own business?

Oh god yes. There's a tiny little lane beside my flat and every sound echoes. There's three houses across from me squeezed into this wee lane and every day - every bloody day - someone knocks continuously on their door loudly at about 7.15am. Then they shout through the letter box when noone answers. The family also have kids. They're lovely but you can hear them screaming and running up and down the stairs. I just want to go back to sleep

You have my empathies. I know exactly what you mean. It's not as bad when it's your own little 'uns playing of course...

... swung forcefully against the back of my neighbours skull ?

The thought had crossed my mind.

I have banged back on the wall with a mallet but it makes no difference and makes dents in my wall, which doesn't help. She only bangs back with what sounds like a slipper & his stomping resumes again.
Hopefully her visiting grandson will grow out of 'banging about' every weekend.
'Inconsiderate neighbours' would be added to my list of annoying gripes.

What minor thing annoys me? This, when I'm in a restaurant and I say "can I have ..... (whatever)" they say "of COURSE you can". It"s nice and I know what they mean but I feel like shouting "YES, I BLOODY KNOW I CAN I was asking if you would just bring it to me!!"

i guess I just need to say "Please bring me ....."

Grumpy old woman is me

That bloody stupid Marilyn Monroe quote;

http://jadelaughsalot.files.wordpres...e-quotes-3.jpg

Yeah, cos she was one you'd want to listen to for relationship advice and pretty much everyone I see post it use it as an excuse to be complete ***** to people.

No people shouldn't have to put up with you being a bitch, you neurotic moron.

A very similar thing happened when I was in my second year at uni (only a couple of years ago now). The house I was sharing with friends was dead opposite a notorious drug den. Two or three times a day, without fail, some local Danny Dyer wannabe would turn up on his stolen child's bike, bang twice on the door, then shout "Oi-oi" through the letterbox before hocking up a great mouthful of phlegm onto the pavement before the door opens and he (plus the stolen bike) proceed into the dingy recesses of the godforsaken abode, ne'er to return until thoroughly zonked on speed/dope/crack (delete as applicable).

Obviously not the same circumstances as yours, but equally irritating. Ah, good times

Missing the end of an eBay auction becomes even more irritating when you see it's gone for a ridiculously cheap price or didn't sell.

People supposedly drinking out of mugs and cups in TV dramas. It never looks real, I would love, just once, to see someone lift a cup to drink and there to be tea visible in it.

Totalcvs (who i have not signed up to) constantly emailing me saying they'll look over my cv (for a price). I've been told many a time by professionals that my cv is fantastic so its kinda annoying (though i doubt the cv people even read it).
What really p's me off is them opening their email line with 'still havent found a job bbclassics? Maybe its your cv which holds you back' etc. Cheeky that is, and what holds me back is the fact that 120 odd people apply for the same job i've applied for.
Next time I'll tell them where they can shove their costly 'cv advice'.
