Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Google maps sending walking routes down trunk roads with no pavement. What’s that all about?

Google Maps drove me nuts at the start of my trip down to Lands End a couple of years back. As recorded at the time...

Google Maps, route to Cheddar. Google comes up with three possibles, one highlighted. This, as becomes clear, is the one Google thinks I ought to take. But I've already decided J don't want to take that one, I want to take *that* one. So I switch to my preferred route. And off I go. And all goes well for four or five miles, when I start to get the feeling things aren't quite right. Seems to be directing me back the way I've come. So I get out the phone and go to the maps screen, and bugger me, the route I've highlighted is no longer selected. No, Google has decided its route is better, and is taking me back to Bristol Temple Meads so J can get on it. After a bit of cursing and swearing, I reselect my route, and set off again. And all seems to be well until.... Yup. It’s done it again! My route has disappeared, Google's preferred option is back again, it's guiding me back to Bristol. By the time I've escaped from that nonsense it’s probably added six or seven miles to my travels. Thanks Google. ​

I googled it. () It's a known issue, long ignored by Our Lords & Masters.

Not just google. My garmin does it as well and insisted I travel with a motorhome through the centre of Inverness when I knew perfectly well it would not work that way. It kept trying to turn me back at every roundabout so I just ignored it.

Customers who interrupt a waitress or shop assistant who is currently helping you. Bloody well wait will you!

Web completed transaction pages that do not have a button to download a receipted invoice in A4 PDF format.
Web completed transaction pages dated 'Now'. (At the time, the expulsion from Eden was 'Now'.)

People who put you on ignore and then tell the whole forum they have, so it can be used as a shitty stick to batter you with…….and then make snide remarks behind the ignore button, so you cant reply to them.

so annoying.

They put you on ignore, you can reply, they can't see what you post not the other way round.

They put you on ignore, you can reply, they can't see what you post not the other way round.

But if they are putting out abusive posts……..which they are, then they cant see your reply or you cant PM and believe me, it happens on a regular basis. Happy to abuse me, but not happy to see my posts and replies to their abuse..

and why tell people??? For what reason do others need to know that you have them on ignore???

p.s....those people also then berate you to report them, with the " if you dont like it, report me to the mods" blah blah blah....then when they get moderated they threaten to close their accounts for being moderated and it happens all over the forum and all sorts of threads

Items on ebay with extremely low prices, then when you click on the ad you get a pick-list. The item is the usual price and the extremely low one is for something else, like a carrier bag.

The National Lottery has annoyed me by emailing me that I've won a prize then telling me that I can't log into the app 'at this time' to find out out how much I've won...

Grrrrrr

Curry's PC world, the only store left with the camera I want. Website says it's in stock. Drive 30 mins there and they say it's discontinued and out of stock. Rather than suggest an alternative, the guy walks off

Not a thing but a person...an Asda checkout operator, whose incessant innane chatter absolutely drives me nuts. I am a very polite person but with a streak of impatience, bordering on intolerance. He drives me nuts, id sooner (and do) go to a longer queue to avoid his till.

I bought a bag of "ice cubes" earlier, but was disappointed to find that geometry accuracy had taken a back seat for this company. These are best described as "ice cylinders" I'd contest. Very sloppy. I'll be more careful who I buy my cubic shaped things from in future.

Lunchtime today, I fancied spaghetti hoops. I opened the tin and tipped them onto a plate ready for the microwave. Except it wasn’t spaghetti, it was tomato soup, which went everywhere. Which idiot decided to make the tins look near identical?
