When they DO do that though, it annoys me as it's kind of like'this is what you could have won.'


I didn't realise that about my ipod for ages, and it was annoying me too

Posters on here who are completely up themselves and in with the cliques on here (So many cliques on here!) who try and twist and turn your words to make it read like something else.

Pathetic.

SNOW!

Why are grown adults so excited about a bit of snow? I hate it.

The term 'little family'. It's one of those annoying phrases people use on Facebook a lot, eg 'I just love my perfect little family. Soooooo happy!'

It just comes across as smug and irritating.

I get annoyed at how everything seems to grind to a halt as soon as it snows. Back in the 80s we had public information films about how to cope with a nuclear war - we can't cope with half an inch of snow!

Oh this one's easy. So that we can press & hold the traction control button for a number of seconds (like on Top gear doing The Sweeney) to switch it off then drive to work down the empty back roads making good and appropriate use of the handbrake, instead of plodding along behind a line of cars stuck at 22mph on nothing more than a wet A road because some numpty can't deal with it. Maybe.

Make that today's triviality - plodding along behind a line of cars stuck at 22mph on nothing more than a wet A road because some numpty can't deal with it. It's cold & wet, not an ice rink. You don't have to do 60, just something more than walking pace would be nice. Or better still take the advice on the wireless and stay at home.

....... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Exactly this. It took nearly an hour to drive what usually takes 20-25 minutes at the same time each morning. Under two inches of snow and half of our immediate area was bleedin' gridlocked.

People who are in public and take ages to answer their phone when it blares out the ringtone. Either answer it as soon as it rings, or put it on silent.

Or they sit glaring at everyone else before realising it's their phone.

Someone playing music that's loud enough to be bothering me, but not loud enough to be judged as excessive by any one in charge of kicking tenants out for being noisy oiks. Anyone living beneath or to the side of a quiet neighbour should go round right now and give them a hug.

When I was at school in Sussex, there was very rarely any big snowfalls. When snow did fall and school ended up being cancelled it was great fun!

Now that I'm working up north, and significant snowfalls can ruin my chances of getting to work in the mornings, then it becomes much less of a rare and fun event...more of a wretched nuisance. I agree with you!

The police helicopter is circling really closely above my house again

Someone I work with constantly moaning that a colleague and I are now drinking black coffee and aren't buying milk. Well, if he'd bought some like we did and didn't use the milk we'd bought for his corn flakes then we wouldn't have stopped buying it.

Windows 8 and my laptop which I frequently have to stop myself from throwing against a wall, and also my broadband which seems slower than dialup with windows 98

The fact that there are cinema chains that see nothing wrong with Parent and Baby Screenings of films rated 15, yet I had to wait until the video* release of X-Men in 2000 before I could it (as it was rated 12 and I was 10 when it came out).

* - For the younger readers, this is what a video was.

Trying to pause a film so I could go make a cup of tea, only to find, rather than the remote not working any more, I'm watching in on freeview. :doh:

oh, what have you done Haha

Unnecessary noise and loudness.

I can't stand being in a car with music on loud enough that you have to shout to have a conversation. Music being played on phones is another one. It sounds shit, put your earphones in or switch it off. People eating or drinking loudly. There's lots of situations where noise pisses me off.

I worked in nightclubs for 10 years, I think my hearing is now over sensitive

Here's one that really arsed me off today.

I took a trip to the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum this afternoon. I couldn't believe the amount of people who were more interested in taking cursory pictures of everything they saw rather than actually looking at them. Everything from phones to tablets to compacts to SLRs, it was just "There's a thing, take a photo, there's another thing, 'nother photo. Selfie in front of the skeletony thing. Pose for a picture in front of a Newcomen atmospheric engine (whatever that is).

A trip to the museum in 500 photographs that will be quickly flicked through once and then consigned to a forgotten folder in 'My Documents' until they smash the hard drive with a hammer to stop baddies stealing their bank.

People who walk into my office commenting on how cold it is outside and how nice and warm my office is and then promptly leave my office door open, meaning all the warm air is let out and all the cold air comes in. The worst thing is that I am on the 1st floor and the door in the corridor is almost always left open so every time someone opens the main outside door(which is almost all the time as I work in a University so there are people coming and going constantly) the cold air comes up.

Yes you idiots my office is nice and warm because I have the door shut but if you leave it open it won't be for much longer.

The thing that gets me is I sit in the outer office and the people who always leave my door open are in the inner office but complain that they are cold so close their door but leave mine wide open.

The red phone in "24 Hours in A&E'. It really bugs me that someone has decided to put a label on it with the words 'phone'. Why? Surely you can all see it's a phone? It's hardly going to be mistaken for a stethoscope or a patient is it? Grrr....

I've been banned from moaning about it now, so have to mutter under my breath whenever I see it.

Hairdressers/barbers who dont listen.

Last year i went in for a trim, and asked for the ends off of my long hair, only to leave with a long bob! Apparently the hairdresser styled it so it was fashionable and easy to maintain, but not what i asked for!

A few weeks ago my husband went to a new barbers to get his hair cut and ended up walking out with the same hairstyle as the barber! One of those "fashionable" styles with a side parting, and heavily gelled. Not what he asked for. Yes it looked good since the barber spent ages getting it right, but for my husband it was a pain because when he just washes it and goes to work the hair was still too long and impractical.

I know they know more than us, but for me it was a pain because i have to have my hair up for work but she cut it too short that i couldnt have it up properly. My husband doesnt preen himself so just wanted it cut shorter so it wasnt in his way but ended up getting a style that needs half an hour upkeep to keep it looking good!

People who post rubbish recipes on the internet.

That's the same reason I started drinking black coffee 20+ years ago, except it was a housemate as students. Shortly after I changed to black coffee the entire rest of the house decided they liked it that way too.

When it has been over a month since you have handed an assignment in, and you have yet to receive the results. When you do receive them, it shows they were marked a week after being handed in, so I don't understand why it takes so long.
