Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Ah no no no Your son is wise beyond his years. I often light candles and run a bath for my beloved wife. Not only do the candles make a relaxing ambiance in the bathroom but they remove the offensive smell from the log I've laid minutes earlier. The boy was covering his tracks/smells

"YouTube is now full screen". Yes I know, I just clicked the button to make that happen. What moron thought that sort of message was necessary?
Agree with this.I use Chrome as my browser and sometimes if you make a video full screen you get this message:
The thing is - you only get this message after the video has been made full screen. So chrome allows the video to be full screen - then asks me if I want to allow it after the fact.....WTF
Another things that annoys me about web browsers (and every single one does it to my knowledge).
You click a link - and the buffering icon shows. Sometimes, the website may take a particularly long time to load - and whilst it is loading (or trying to load), you still have the webpage you were on still displayed on screen.
If you get tired of waiting and click the stop button, the page you were on disappears and is replaced with either the partially loaded webpage or worse still, a blank page. WTF?
Surely it can't be beyond human endeavour to either:
1. When I click a link, immediately take me away from the page I was on regardless of whether the page I was going to is taking a long time to load.
or
2. If the browser insists on leaving the current webpage on screen whilst the next one loads, when I click stop - leave me on the currently loaded page.

This! Yes!You click a link - and the buffering icon shows. Sometimes, the website may take a particularly long time to load - and whilst it is loading (or trying to load), you still have the webpage you were on still displayed on screen.

Many people have been saying the same for ages.

I plug something in, quite often the vacuum cleaner with a long lead, go back, switch it on, nothing happens, fking socket switched off. I don't think there really needs to be switches on sockets.
I am glad you said "lead" and not "cord" as that annoys the hell out of me.king socket switched off. I don't think there really needs to be switches on sockets.No I do NOT want to sign onto your website using a Facebook login.
I receive competition emails (Harley Davidson are usually good at this)......Enter here for a chance to win, an it takes me to Face Book, I do not have a face book account so am unable to take part in the voting or competitions.
They take the time to bloody email me, so why not just be able reply via email

My personal annoyance is when you go to a new page and the article loads, so you start reading it and scroll down. Then about 20 seconds later the banner ad or some other stuff at the top finally decides to load and starts pushing the page down as you are reading it.Rostfritt said:

The only issue being the sign on the front is written within a recessed bricked up window, well apart from the G of Stag which is on the wall outside of the recess.

I predict an increase in the usual three cars a year that crash in to the place, as it is on a tight bend, just out of pure rage.

I hate wall paper of any kind, it usually starts to come unstuck within weeks of being put on. All my walls are white emulsion. Painted wood, it takes to long to do, and doesn't look nice when finished. All my wood is teak with oiled finish. A re-oil each year freshens it up. Exposed/boxed in pipes. Electricity cable birds nests. A bathroom adorned with millions of bottles of (essential) stuff bought by the wife/daughter for body maintenance. I make do with toothpaste, soap and shampoo.
Having to queue to pay in Yo Sushi.
You've had your meal, the waitress has totted up your dishes and logged it into the system, then you have to join the long queue to the till - people not only waiting to pay for meals like you are, but also who are buying stuff to go from the shelves and fridges in the corner. Would it be so hard for the waitresses to have a portable card terminal so you can pay by card there and then at your table rather than queuing?

People who can't use single track roads. Where I live there are lots of single track roads which work fine if everyone uses a bit of common sense, sadly lots don't.
Firstly keep left, if the passing place is on your right stop opposite, don't suddenly dive across to the wrong side of the road just as the car coming the other way pulls in to the same space.
Passing places are also there to allow cars behind you to come past. If someone comes up behind you pull over and let them by (this will require using your mirrors occasionally). If someone has been behind you for 15 minutes and they are flashing their lights and sounding their horn it may be an indication they would like to get past. Just because you are on holiday doesn't mean they are.
Plan ahead, don't expect everyone to reverse up 100 metres just because you haven't noticed you are 2 metres past a passing place.
Don't just stop in the middle of the road and all get out to take pictures of a sheep, find somewhere safe to stop.
Yes the scenery is beautiful but you do need to watch the road, and don't try and create your own passing place by pulling onto the verge, there are often overgrown ditches at the side of the road. At which point you may find the locals laughing at you.
I could go on, we love the tourists, but they can be infuriating and they do make driving a bit scary as you never know quite what they are going to do. It's a good job they can't hear what's being said about them.

The ex mrs, My sons birthday is coming up so I send him a text asking him what he'd like. The ex answers telling me money. I said I'd rather he told me so I know he'll like it.
I then suggest he's getting a but of facial fur at 15 so would he like an electric razor, cue 2 hours of abuse culminating in me not being allowed to see my son on his birthday or ever again because she told me it has to be money. never mind the fact when I give him money he throws it in my face that I've "not bought him anything"
You really should be allowed once a year to put your ex in a cage and tazer them.

Do you get visitation on set days? If so could you get a pair of tickets to his favourite football/rugby team?
