Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

some time after the Police knock on my door and say that one of my TVs is showing rascist messges
<snip>
but what I have described is basically Facebook/Twitter etc just smaller

why should making it too big to control make the owner immune???

Very good point, not trivial at all.

on which point I saw this on Reddit today

OK - seems fair - after all - the community comments would sort it all out

BTW - do we need lawyers anymore - surely community comments on people would be more effective???

Weather forecast websites and newspaper websites that predict snow then show pictures from previous times when it snowed.

Weather forecasts that predict horrendous snow that will bring the whole country to the end
or that is what the Headlines seem to say

but when you read the details it turns out that they expect heavy snow - but only in the uplands of Scotland and Wales

It means that when you get properly cold weather for place like Widnes (and everywhere else I have lived) then people are less likely to take it seriously because they are always seeing predictions of problems which never happen around here

Similarly, news articles that warn of heavy traffic on bank holidays then show a picture of a gridlocked motorway.
In case you were wondering what that looked like....

The ‘feature’ in cars where using the windscreen washers automatically gets you a few wipes…followed by a pause…followed by another wipe. I am perfectly capable of instigating the appropriate no of wipes for the wash..and the one after the pause usually makes things worse. A solution to a problem invented in a design office IMHO.
