Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

And, contrary to anything the media prints or broadcasts, most football fans ime enjoy a friendly rivalry and share matchdays in harmony.

Try saying that after an Old Firm match in Glasgow! 😆

Waiting on one knee for the washing machine to ‘click’ so I can open the door, grrr

Ours bleeps when it has finished washing, but it still makes you wait a couple of minutes before unlocking the door. Why tell me you've finished, just to be a tease and say "nah, not ready"?

Fridges. Why in this age of concern over food safety is it not mandatory that they self regulate their temperature.

I've got one of them modern ones equiped with a thermostat, Quit a clever I thought

Written English that is deliberately misspelt, or done in text speak, or where someone just uses first letters instead of writing the words out.

Probably best to avoid this book then (although I would otherwise recommend it wholeheartedly).

Fantastic book - read that years ago and I've never read anything like it since. Very clever.

Thanks. I had never heard of it but it sounds very interesting so I just ordered a used copy on Amazon!

Being called by my surname instead of my first name at work.

Absolutely boils my p!ss.

 

[Time Waster]

Why are some politicians called by first name and others by surname? Consistency is fairer imho.

Couldn't finish it (in fact, nowhere near ... ) Which is a shame, as I've read most of his books, and the weird ones are generally best!
Shame they didn't publish a "written properly" edition ...

People who work with computers, and receive training on how to fill out a simple online spreadsheet, and then don't bother to fill in all the required fields, and then when confronted about it come up with excuses like "we're not IT experts". It's got me fuming this morning. My son could do a better job than half of these adults who are on 25 grand a year

Don't blame the person entering the data blame the poor quality programming that allows them to submit the form incomplete.

it's not a form, it's an online spreadsheet. All they have to do is choose a response from a dropdown and enter a date but they can't even do that properly. A form with mandatory fields would be nice but we're NHS and most staff have refused to use anything other than a sheet on MS Teams

Teams, the product of a fevered mind, excessive marketing and indifferent training.
