Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Do you remember the Hello Boys advert?

Don't do a Google search for it. You will get ads for women's underwear for the next few months.

People who tell me that a steel bike is built to last a lifetime.
Isn't a carbon frame also built thus, and doesn't rust?

It's because steel flexes so it doesn't rattle your dentures out when you go over a rough surface.

People that don't format phone numbers correctly. It's bad enough that they write 0208 123 4567 instead of 020 8123 4567 but I'm seeing a disturbing trend with mobile numbers too. It's not 0712 3456 789, it's 07123 456789.

Aaaaand breathe.

That’s all very well but my Virgin Mobile sim used to encourage my iPhone to format all phone numbers
07 12 34 56 78 9 and it would dial bl**dy Belgium instead of Derby. Fixed now, with a different provider

I use the format 0791 101 45 45 for mine, I find it easier to read and remember that way.

Even now you know it's not only wrong but also a trivial thing that annoys me? It's as if you don't care...

I have a very recognisable number so use the format 079 20 30 40 50. Easy to remember

Amaze your friends and frustrate your enemies by repeating phone numbers back to them in a different format to the one they used to give you it. Confuses the hell out of them!

Are they not obliged to come round and make you do it properly using a baseball bat as encouragement??????

Well, it hasn't happened yet, but in fairness it'd probably be a reasonable response and totally deserved.

Not annoying but funny. There's a bloke on a radio phone in i'm listening to,who's the 'Chairman Of The National Obesity Forum'. His name is Tam Fry!

Too late! Actually google tracks my home account to my work account and displays all manner of advertising. Quite ridiculous and occasionally funny.

Why do they even show the NFL? Does anybody in the UK actually watch it, or give two shoots about American football?

Yes, I do, and have since about 1986 or so, whenever Nicky Horn presented the games on tv.
There are some great athletes and sportsmen in the NFL, and it is a good way to relax for 3 hours.

People who think the NHS is flawless.

Or people or who expect the unachievable.
