At Tesco at the automatic checkout thing, when you're ready to pay the voice says - Please insert your card into the chip and pin machine.

Shouldn't it be 'in' not 'into' with 'insert'. I'm not an expert but it doesn't sound right and really grates.

Not sure if this one is Tesco or somewhere else - but a sign near the door of one big shop tells me that if the alarm sounds I should contact a colleague to have a tag removed. It always makes me think I'd have to call someone I work with instead of a member of staff at the shop.

Surely enormous companies like supermarkets could employ someone to check that the signs going up in their stores make good sense.

When people who are older than me are talking about something such as music, films, an event in history etc and then turn to me and go "Oh well you young-uns won't know who/what we're on about. It's before your time". Erm what? Don't assume that I live in a bubble where only people and events since my birth are known to me. I don't even like it said jokingly.

Then again, the opposite annoys me too where people use not being around at the time as an excuse. Can't win

Bah Humbug

I suppose they are trying to acknowledge the fact the conversation might be boring to you. But I know what you mean. There are plenty of people living now who know all there is to know about life in the Victorian age, I'm pretty sure that was before their time.

Friends/acquaintances who make surprise visits, I'm not the most tidy person in the world, so if they want to see me why can't they just give me a heads up? A phone call or something. That way at least have time to make place look presentable.

Other occassions I have just got back from a run I want to showers relax after. They come knocking, the house looks a tip and feel though it would be rude to tell them to come back another time, so invite them in to relax in my less than tidy lounge whilst I shower and get ready. Do these people not realise how intrusive they are being? Can't possibly have anything else I could be doing. 'Of course he would be delighted to have me knock on his door unannounced. It's the highlight of his existence to be in my company, as it would for anyone else' seems to be their attitude. It just so annoys me.

I have some sort of a migraine, which is messing with my ability to communicate.

I talk haltingly and take longer to respond to whoever's talking to me. I also occasionally thought I was talking in English when in fact it was in the other language. My son earlier asked if I was regressing to my childhood (as I've been speaking and responding to him slowly). Heh.

Annoying, though. It really feels as if my brain's lying in pieces in my skull. Or it's filled with a thick fog. I have no idea why this is happening. I haven't had a migraine before, though.

If that is what chronic migraine sufferers usually experience, they have all my sympathies. It's truly horrible.

OMG Takae that must be really scary. It could be interesting though if someone was to video you and you watched it when you were feeling well enough! I do hope you feel better soon and get back to 'normal'.

Mark Addy . Just don't get the hype .

Trumping in bed

Cut out eggs and beans!!

Seeing tutorials on how to make nice detailed nail art designs, and when I try it,it looks like a smudgey mess. Why doesn't it look right? Way harder to do than it looks.

Your neighbour sounds like a selfish tit If he wants his lights a certain way thats fine, but to expect everyone else to have lights like his is just wrong

Last year we bought a set of xmas crackers that had cute little wind-up reindeer inside each one. I have 5 of them displayed along the shelf in front of the telly. My step-son insisted on keeping one and now he has no idea where it is. They were all different and I wish I'd kept them together now.

Hehe, he sounds like the people in the film "Christmas With The Kranks". Especially Dan Ackroyd's character.

Was just reading a thread and was amazed at some of the questions asked.

e,g,
people discussing a character. Another poster asks when that character appears "oh yes, there he is now"

another poster "Who was that character?"
What! You mean the ****ing MURDERER? You have such a low attention span that you didn't realiser that the character was the MURDERER? It's a real life drama. In real life the guy was jailed and you have no idea even in the show he's just confessed?


FFS put your phone/tablet/laptop down and watch the ****ing show and maybe you'll understand what is going on!!!!

I failed one of my driving tests for that reason. Didn't realise a particular road was 60mph and was driving at 30mph so I failed for "dangerous road use" or something to that effect (don't ask how I didn't realise! It was a bit stupid of me!)

Music: The Games Room

Jeremy Vine pronouncing Sony as "sonni" repeatedly.

I was annoyed on someone else's behalf this morning. A cyclist was riding to work and ahead of me was a taxi. This black cab overtook the cyclist then immediately pulled into the kerb directly ahead of him and stopped dead leaving the cyclist jamming the brakes on and looking miffed. Its usually me that gets that kind of thing done to him.

The current (and overstaying its welcome!) trend for blending names together (like John and Edward, Brad and Angelina etc - and I won't indulge it by using those blended names!).

(I can only assume thick) people who stand right outside the door of a shop/building, or the top/bottom of escalators, thereby blocking the way. They usually do it with an oblivious, vacant expression on their faces, and generally while talking to the equally expressionless person they're talking to.

People who press the crossing button when there is NO TRAFFIC FOR MILES other than 1 car! They don't even look first, they just automatically press it.

People who don't like leaving voicemail messages. Why?! It's there for a reason!

. Calm down dear its only a wrong thread!!

That drives me crazy too! What's wrong with people that they can't carry a packet of tissues with them (and use them) if they know they have a cold instead of sniffing every 10 seconds.

What, like PC World's famous sign that read "All make's of PCs repaired". Seriously? How many people must have looked at that from inception to execution and not one person said "hang on chaps..."?

Tesco ads drive me batty... "Every little helps". It's like they were sending a telegram and couldn't afford the extra word to complete the thought.

Downloading something and the computer not giving an accurate XXX mins left number. Having say 20mins left at 11am and then 12 mins left at 12pm is most frustrating.
Currently 637MB into the 683MB total and it's shown 6mins left for the last 30. Looks like 3 hours of wasted download.

You need... This.
