Fashion coverage of the Oscars..........people posing on red carpets in a blatant act of childlike showing off and braindead interviewers asking them what they are wearing as if it is of some great importance or interest.

People who stand at traffic lights and expect them to change when you have to press the button to cross. I always press it and say to them 'The lights won't change by magic'
People pushing on trains when you're still trying to get off. Most of my things include people and their stupidity. I have a list longas both my arms. |

What about if you got an e-mail as a result of tweeting? I mustn't have understood twitter either!

The expression ending in 'you love' instead of 'you like', as in 'the programmes you love', regarding what you can watch on the box. Sky. Take note.
The expression 'for free' when they mean free. PIN number. It's PIN, not Personal Identification number number. Sky again. |

Maybe they're worried about getting sued by all the dinks who, when directed to insert their PIN, get electricutied when they stick an actual pin into the machine, thus HAVE to say PIN Number to stop those 'needless' deaths.

There's this advert which makes me want to fling the telly out the window.
It's the Kinder egg one where the manipulative chils with a voice you could cut steel with pretends to indulgent mother (her who used to be on Blue Peter) that his teddy is..'Very very not very well' and could do with a kinder egg. Janet thingy (Blue Peter ) snorts at her ghastly child and joins in the awfulness. If it's meant to promote kinder flippin eggs ..this Grandma for one won't ever be buying one for anyone. I could throttle that child for several reasons. |

From a land line, numbers starting 070 (personal numbering services) are charged at higher rates than 'normal' mobile numbers, yet most people are unaware of this, because they think all mobile numbers start with 07.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona...m.27s_response Mobile phone companies that say calls to mobiles on the same network are free, but not other networks. Short of asking each person that you phone on a mobile 'what network are you on', how are you supposed to know. PITA. You can look up on tinternet the network that a mobile number is originally issued to, but if the recipient ports the number to a different network, then you are back to square one. Mobile phone termination charges. The price of text messages (SMS) on some call plans, when in reality (like e-mails), they cost virtually nothing to send. Mobile phone companies charging to phone an 0800 number. Mobile phone companies charging you to receive a call abroad, whether you want to or not. Roaming charges. Mobile phone companies. Just blatant rip off merchants, IMO. |

Teleshopping on every TV channel known to man at certain times of the day, often showing the same latest gadget/product on multiple channels at the same time.
I can only watch one channel at a time. |

A worrying number of men that seem to have been persuaded that cocks are ugly. All cocks, whatever shape and size, are Godcocks, to be worshipped.

Scammers calling my mobile when I'm expecting work/job related calls.
People who get my hopes up just to crush them. I don't have hopes anymore, I'm fed up of it -tis a sad state of affairs. |

When I go into Amazon, start typing something into the search box, then the screen automatically refreshes before I've finished and I have to start all over again.

The "Captcha" sections that are on a lot of websites now to try to stop bots signing in.
They get annoying when the random lines cross letters and make them look like other letters. Also a capital "i" looks exactly like a small "L" so easy to enter the one you don't need and get the "Captcha" wrong!!?!?! |

When you flash your lights at someone to let them out at a junction and they take ages, then you wish you hadn't bothered.
Those waiters / waitresses who ask you if your meal is alright just as you've taken a fork full of food. Websites that keep loading up the App Store on iOS. Aaarrrggghhh. Incorrect use of the apostrophe. There's a shop near me with a sign that reads "hot and cold pie's". |
