The way that videos posted on facebook automatically start playing, instead of just appearing and leaving me to start them if I want to. Limited bandwidth and recent overuse bill makes me intolerant of such things. And no, I can't just block the people who post them.
Or when a friend posts a video with bouncing boobies in it that auto plays as you scroll through when at work on your lunch break! Yeah I wanna watch it, just not right at that point in time!droopsnoot said:

No, but you could just adjust you settings so they only play when connected to wifi.Trying to plan my budget for next month because I have some spare time, but having to wait till actual payday on Monday, because my intranet payslip won't be available until either Sunday or Monday. Even though we work a month in advance, so they've known since the end of last month what overtime and shifts I've worked, I'm pretty sure by now payroll will have it all authorised, it'll just be sitting there, ready to be posted on the site after I've actually been paid.
Electronic, water saving, toilet flushing regulators.
I have to take codeine for pain following an operation. My lavatorial habits can be described thus: I poo like a snake eats. Namely, nothing passes for a goodly period of time and then, after a few terrifying rumbles and the cold sweats, I walk carefully to the facilities and pass something similar in size, odour and apprearance to a dead pig that has been lying next to a tropical swamp for a week.
This is clearly going to require a fairly hefty barrage of water to dislodge, but the morons that decide to put in the water saving flushes clearly have not anticipated this scenario. One would expect that a vegetarian diet (one that no doubt they are familiar with), rich in fibre and pulses produces a sort of composty silage that breaks up instantly whne it enters the pan. A 25ml dash of water from the cistern amply disposes of this. But not mine, not this morning.
Eight times I tried to get the b
d to move. Eight times the cistern chuckled at me as it refilled in a fraction of a second. Yet still, as I gazed sadly in to the pan, I was mocked by the curly tail of last week's suppers, rising eerily out of the tainted water like the sword of excalibur.
Because of this, the trap capacity in my office is down by 10% until the plumbers come. Productivity is ruined, water is wasted, and all for nothing.

Condolences sir.king aholes!A friend of mone had a company chasing his deceased wife for money and despite him notifying them and sending a copy of the death certificate they continued to send letters. He thefore sent them a change of address which was : Plot 4 St Bride's cemetery, Anytown, Any County etc.
He never heard another word but he laughs at the fact she may have a CCJ at her grave address.
