Folk who are just totally oblivious to others around them. In a single shop today, I experienced:
- standing looking at stock on shelves, guy walks right in front of me, stops, and the stands for a significant period of time completely blocking what I was already looking at, then strolls away
- a woman who stood leaning on the end of the till next to the conveyor belt, watching the queue in front of her consistently move forward, as well as the items on the belt, but didn’t move until her stuff started to be scanned, leaving everyone behind rushing to get their shopping on the belt so they could then start bagging their shopping
- a different woman stops her trolley right in the middle of the sliding doors to exit the store, so she could talk to her kids about why they shouldn’t climb on the displays. Yes it’s important to teach them how to behave, but could have stopped literally anywhere else and it wouldn’t have blocked everyone from leaving

They could not quite work out why some radge was shouting at them until they saw the queue trying to get in.....Quote:

Fitbit chargers. My wife has one of the wee Fitbits and trying to charge it is like the Krypton Factor. They've made a bespoke clip-like charger that, even when seemingly perfectly aligned to the contact points on the bloody watch will only charge if it feels like it.
Most smartwatches/trackers have some kind of bespoke 'flat' charging connection – the port for a normal phone charger would take up too much space in such a small device.Quote:

About as funny as a fire in an orphanage. A trend that can **** right off.
Yeah it's clean and it should just clip in but it's been like that since she got it, to be honest.Quote:

Other way about, not even an apology. Whilst I have sympathy that small delays throughout the day can snowball later on, there’s not excuse when it is the start of the day. My dad is in for an operation today. Said to turn up at 7am for the operations admissions.
Got there early, so sat in the hospital cafe for a bit. Decided to head for the admissions bit at 6.50 to find the door locked. Fair enough it was early. A queue started to form. Door wasn’t unlocked until nearly 7.30. No seats nearby to sit in.
Fair enough – one of the problems with bespoke connectors is that inevitably some of them are just a bit crap.Quote:

Fast forward to now, I've been doing the job 5 years, and I'm on step 3 of my grade (or step 1 after the grade scale review), and you've got other members of staff who are no more qualified, but vastly less experienced, who've been doing the job weeks/months being paid the same as I am :grr:

People online or in particular FB in this case who resort to name calling if you disagree with their opinion.

I didn’t rise to it but WTF
Social media has a number of positives, but this facility for complete strangers to insult and abuse people is a huge downside. I wonder to what extent the introduction of social media has led to the deterioration of people's mental health. Not to mention its effect on Brexit and other political issues.Quote:

It’s like a worse, non-stop version of some of the poorer threads on the main board or HG dominated by ‘notorious’ posters.
Unfortunately I’m finding Instagram heading that way too. It’s the one surviving ‘real’ social media platform I was still enjoying. Liked that it was pretty much just photos and captions from people I know… more and more I seem to be stumbling on random conversations infested by above type people.
My life has improved immeasurably since I ditched all social media apps. Not only do I not need to suffer fools, but I also don’t find myself sitting on the sofa before realising I’ve wasted the last 45 minutes looking at other people’s lives.Quote:

Opening a can with a ring on it that comes away in your hand is irritating.
Pulling the plastic film off a milk bottle and all that comes off is the wee tab, leaving the film still attached to the bottle.
When you go to use the gas hob, turn on the gas, then ignite it, then it goes off. Try again, hold it longer. Goes off again. Infuriating.

Waking up to pee during the night. Never happened before. And I don't drink excessive fluids towards bed time either. Most night waking up at least once for a toilet trip. Mighty frustrating for someone that loves their kip

Just wait until you get to my age and it’s 3-4 trips a night. :boo hoo: :greengrinQuote:

Or in my case, having a pee just before I get in the bath and then less than five minutes into the bath you realise you need to go again. Sometimes I get so annoyed I just piss myself in the bath in futile protest.Quote:

However, he then put my burger through as a pizza. He also forgot to put through the fries. Because we were on a time limit for the show, I just took the pizza but the fries didn’t come until we were pretty much finished the pizza.
Just write down the order!
I dont have that problem thankfully, I just swing it over the bath and into the cludgie then use a hose reel to gather it back in again 😆Quote:

I'm going to make a lot of you guys jealous.
I had urinary infections a while ago, sent for an ultrasound and they discovered that my bladder was enlarged, triple the normal capacity. My problem was not being able to fully empty it before going to bed. I now have to catheterise last thing at night,but it does mean I might only pee 3 or 4 timesa day. 😂
Wheely baskets at Lidl.
The perfect example of something that needs a further risk assessment done on it and controls in place. Give morons who aren’t paying attention something that they can create a mobile tripping hazard with that they are totally oblivious to.
Genuinely no clue why their implementation was ever seen as suitable.
Wish I could swear on here but the old gits either side of me doing the power washing in the garden and on the other side with the strimmer and lawnmower, they are all retired but decide to do it at the weekend, especially annoying when you have had a busy week at work, telling the kids to go mental later on
Eurovision. Wall to wall coverage on BBC radio. It's like they are trying to convince folk that everyone loves it and that the music is great. Everyone doesn't love it and the music is invariable average at best
Was pissed off on Thursday night when tried to tune into Bob Harris at 9pm, which has been a slot as long as I can remember, to find he wasn’t on and “bbc loves Eurovision” was instead…Quote:
