Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
The self-pity/attention seeking posters on Facebook. the typical "f
k this st, off to bed" or "fk you, I'm doing what I want" or "Off out, not taking phone."
A couple of times I've got really annoyed and posted a sarcastic remark, which is usually met with some form of aggression, or her "friends" calling me a bd etc.. but frankly I don't really care, it just boils my piss because all these people want is to be the center of attention and want people who are merely nosey, not interested to post "what's wrong?" followed by a "message me" of some sorts so they can drivel on about how their iPhone 6 doesn't fit in their pocket when they wear shorts that allow everybody to see their moose knuckle when they walk about, then post "whilst drunk" status/photo's to show off that their clubbing or something?
When I go to the pub with mates I don't take 56206501 photos and post 57 status updates to tell everybody in the fking county where I am, I have a good time, get plastered and stagger home, usually with the missus complaining that I've shat in the sink and washed my hands in the toilet or something.
ETA: Rant over.

The person I deleted did this A LOT - I was prevented from commenting in the same way by my partner as she would have had fallout to deal with too. Why I didn't delete that person then, I don't know - I did eventually though.d etc..james_tigerwoods said:

I deleted her yesterday but I got a message this morning asking why she was deleted, so I told the truth, which down like a wet fart whilst getting a blowjob.

Facebook has a lot to answer for - You spend half your life reading stupid, self congratulating or self pitying posts and then seeing the sycophantic sheep commenting things like "oh no honey, hope you're ok" - Then you see incidents where someone has been removed as a friend and it causes all sorts of nonsense.
Women seem to be the worst in all this - Especially those in Villages
I was talking to a divorce solicitor yesterday (not about a divorce!), she said FB is mentioned/quoted more and more in court these days.Women seem to be the worst in all this - Especially those in Villages
She rolled her eyes too.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Mind you, stuff like this can be traced back as far as Friends Reunited which was cited a number of times (usually in the context of a partner hooking back up with a long-lost ex or a 'might have been', which lead to infidelity, and then divorce proceedings).
Or, in the case of my divorce, my ex claiming her company was no longer trading and me having snapshots of her company's public Facebook page that said it was, and what new products were just in, etc. Oh dear.
(And if my ex is reading, I still have the documentary evidence if you're thinking of disputing the above statement)

My laptop just went nuts - Word seemed to "undo" about 3 hours of work - I watched it scroll back and then freeze.
I don't know how or why it did it, but I killed the process. I've saved it, haven't it. Well, I think I have - well... Autorecover will get it, won't it? Well, I don't need to tell you how much of the last 3 hours of work has been recovered.
There has been some bad language.
I should know better - I'm an IT Consultant with many, many years of experience - Before that, I did desktop and server support. I. Should. Know. Better.

ks.This old guy at work seriously fking pisses me off. There are various things about him I cannot stand. We share a very long desk together
- He is incredibly untidy. leaves papers all over the place including the floor, which you sometimes trip on
- He eats at his desk. today there were pistachio nut flakes all over the keyboard and desk
- He constantly makes cups of tea he never finishes. He might get halfway through a cup before making another one. As a result I end up smelling damp tea air the entire day.
- His breath stinks of the cigarettes he goes out for every 15minutes which is made worse by...
- him going too close/into your personal space when talking to you. He'll come right up to your face to talk. I would sometimes take a step back, or walk past him to have a nice distance, but he follows you. I'm not the only person who notices this.
- He mumbles very badly when he speaks.
- He can't understand when you're busy doing something and would strike up meaningless conversation, distracting you.
- He had a flu/cold for the past few weeks to which he hardly blew his nose. He had snot hanging from his nose most of the time.
- On a couple of occasions when I went off to do something/go on lunch break, I would come back to see he had dribbled some of his runny nose onto pieces of paper
- Doesn't cover his mouth when he coughs/sneezes.
Today he pissed me off. Speaking to some volunteers I was trying to get them to go on their lunch break so that we could take turns and I wouldn't end up having to have mine at something ridiculous like 3pm. In a joking manner I said to the volunteers 'oh its ok, its not like I don't need to eat'. He then goes 'heh, yeah, he could lose abit of weight'.

Easy fix, next time you trip on it, fill out an accident or near miss form and state in the 'cause of accident/near miss' box state "papers strewn on floor next to <colleagues name>'s desk".Expect a visit off you H&S rep. if he persist keep putting forms in until they either move him to an out of the way desk or make him be more tidy.
In self service restaurants,when one person queues for the food and the other one goes and 'reserves' a table and so making it unavailable. You often see food laden customers searching for somewhere to sit,but most are occupied by selfish unthinking persons who are waiting for their husband,colleague or friend to arrive.

I'm struggling to understand why that is selfish and unthinking. I can't really see the difference between a table being occupied by customers eating and being occupied by customers who are just about to eat. I'm not disputing that you're 'annoyed beyond reason' by it - that's the name of the thread after all. It's definitely unreasonable and somewhat baffling though.

He always seems to be completly unaware of TV cameras around him and very slow to engage his "TV face", which when it does finally boot up, still makes him appear like a gorm.
Gordon Brown was always the worst for that; dour expression then, evidently remembering he'd been told to smile more, turning on a st-eating grin that was truly cringeworthy and rather creepy. Tony Blair did. That really. Annoying thing. Where he. Kept f
king starting. And stopping. His sentences.Ed Milliband reminds me of the kid at school everyone wanted to punch.
For the past two days the majority of the matrix boards on the M3 from Basingstoke down to the M27, and along the M27, have been displaying "RED X MEANS LANE CLOSED". This is starting to annoy me beyond reason.
