Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I thought you were 'Well known'?

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

I think that is considerably exaggerating its virtues.

Why are bicycle kickstands made as afterbuy accessories so fug-ugly? Front mounting kickstands are generally okay, and rear mounted stands sold with bikes look reasonable, but when designers are asked to make a rear-mounting kickstand they start cackling maniacally and create crimes against aesthetics:

I don't understand why: all the other types are at least respectably unobtrusive. How did this happen?

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

A spreadsheet it intended for use by those who aren't IT experts. It doesn't turn you into one.

Yes, true.

My latest bike came with a kick stand you could buy as an extra. It was priced outrageously.
I declined and on advice (bad) bought a Decathlon look alike.
It never quite fitted or worked.
Electric bikes with motor and gears in the rear wheel are always out of balance. Kept falling over more than me.

Took it off. Just have to look for a wall to lean against. The bike more often than me.

There are no "massive" problems with football fans. And I certainly do pay attention to footballing matters around the world and more especially here in the UK & Europe.

How many football games have you actually been to I wonder?

For sure there are occasional high profile incidents which are an embarrassment to the sport but they are very limited in number.

We've been to dozens of top-flight matches over the years and have never once witnessed any trouble other than a very small minority being drunk & sweary.

Most fans are really not pie-stuffing, beer-swilling, obscenity-shouting louts crammed into over-sized team shirts. At Newcastle, Man Utd, Man City & Liverpool grounds which we have visited recently as Chelsea supporters; the fans looked like a normal slice of British society. As they have done at all the matches we've been to over a number of decades.

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

I've already identified that my comments applied to a small % fans.
Here's an example of problems i'm referring to:

As massive problems go, that one seems easily identifiable.

I'm on red alert for a wasp, could be a bee! I have my 'Raid' fly and wasp killer on hand as I post. I can't afford to try and mollycoddle whatever it is out the window, only for another invader to fly in. It has to die!

It happened again yesterday evening. There I was packing my bag at the supermarket till when this @~#t stood right next to me half way through my packing. Not only that but the idiot then put his phone over the payment thingy. On hindsight I should've said " Aw thank's! Are you going to pay it for me"! How f..k..g rude eh!! I always stand well back of the customer in front, even if they're faffing about with coupons, coins etc and only move forward when they walk away. I was tempted to have a word with the impatient @~#t but what would that achieve?

I feel so much better now

And before anyone comments, the lack of an apostrophe doesn't bother me, but if there had been one in the wrong place...

Yes, not being able to gain access to St Andews Road must be very irksome for non residents at present

How do you know it's the i/o that is wrong, it could be that the e & s need removing, so Roland can go home.

Fleabay. There is a a feature where vehicle parts are flagged if they fit (or don't fit) your vehicle.

I'm just looking at a Sealey OIl suction syringe and it says "this part fits your vehicle"!! Well I would hope it fits anything that has a hole.....
