Even worse are the ones that let their kids push the trolley...

fk you.

I'm employed to do a technical job,

Not sure answering the phone would be classed as 'technical', but there you go. Standard council worker belligerence though.

Yep. Thanks for my wages. They're going to good use. I'm off scuba diving in the Andaman Islands soon.

Rather more pay than someone who answers phones then... .

Actors who sit at a table with a plate of food, and don't actually eat anything. There are kids starving in Africa...........

I'm specifically thinking of Big Bang Theory. Every episode the lads are sitting in the university canteen or at home with a takeaway, and all they do is stir the food with a fork. It's going cold, you tards! (Excepting the salads in the canteen.......). Boils my pee.

An old Norfolk saying - "he pingle wi' his wittals". Pingling is just moving food around the plate, eyeing it suspiciously, and not actually eating anything.

Removing memory sticks from computers. I click on the icon at the bottom right of the screen then highlight and click the 'Eject USB Storage' message.

fk all happens apart from a pathetic message about it being safe to remove the device!

I've just pressed something marked 'Eject' for fks sake!! I want explosive bolts detonating, I want USB sticks being fired into the air at a rate of knots! I want more pyrotechnic charges going off as various safety systems are explosively initiated! I want the USB to float gently down on a parachute and if the USB stick lands a co-workers' beverage I want small inflation devices to deploy so it doesn't sink to the bottom!!

Bill Gates, You hear me? fk giving your cash to the poor fkers in Africa and spend it sorting my fking PC out with a proper USB ejection system!!

If I were a driving instructor, my first lesson to any of my students would be to give them a shopping list and a trolley at a busy supermarket and make them analyse how stupid people are. And that most of them have driven there.

If you place a wet memory stick or flash drive into a PC or laptop USB port, then the above does happen.

This is actually something that annoys me beyond reason as I regularly find when clicking said button it defiantly sticks two fingers up at me with "unable to eject USB device, please try later" or some st like that even when it's not doing anything. So I rip it out and look all pleased with myself... until the next time I go to use it and it laughs at me informing me that it's unable to read device, would I like to format the device now? Luckily if I plug it in my laptop it "resets" itself and works fine in the PC then. Stupid devices.

Hyperbole

Someone posts a fairly average video clip of a Le Mans test with the comment "I wet my pants a bit watching this....CAR PRON!" - if you wet your pants watching that clip then you really need to see a urologist

[Issi]

And -

'Literally spit my coffee all over the keyboard at this'

Did you? Did you really spit coffee everywhere when you saw a video of a kitten falling off a stool?

Only the first few times.

Suitcases.

Never had a suit in them.

dheads who are under the impression that the world owes them a living and constantly kick gift horses in the mouth!

That sign on the westbound platform at North Acton that says "Alight here for Landis and Gyr".

Poorly stacked dishwasher.

[popeyewhite]

Refugees that harangue their new neighbours for electricity to charge their mobiles. Annoys me.

Fortunately I find mixed metaphors more amusing than annoying.

It's not a mixed metaphor. I quite like it though.

Actually, it is.

[The Don of Croy]

Americans.

Or, rather specifically, their on-film depiction of open fires (replete with crackling noises) when the camera pans back to reveal some stupidly-over-burning-miasma-of-flames that they would have us believe is a 'real' fire, but is clearly a gas fed jobby or the remnants of Three Mile Island's meltdown.

Real fires do not distribute flame evenly from one end to the other - there are physical and chemical properties that inhibit such characteristics unless the flammable material is specially prepared with suitable accelerants (I'm not over thinking this am I?).

What's annoying me more is my annoyance at such a trivial matter. But I blame the septics mostly (watched Shutter Island last night).
