Software updates that bollix your system.
Flash updated itself the other day, now YouTube clips are too stuttery to watch.
Bunch of arse.

My android phone has been suffering this syndrome for about 18 months. It self updated the entire version of Android after I'd had it for a few months and it's been irrevocably bollixed ever since.

Contract ends in a few days. Hallelujah. I'm going to either run it over with my car or put on some high heels and stamp it to death.

People who don't do No2 at home before coming to work.

Eh? I thought the whole point was to s**t on work time. With the added benefit of saving on bogroll. Back in the day when I was single and shared with other blokes not needing to buy bogroll because carps were always reserved for work ( or on weekends the pub ) was a matter of some pride.

Just touching on part of this paragraph, BACK IN THE DAY. Back in what day? This saying fu@ks me off massively. I even heard a politician on radio 4 use it. What the hell is the world coming to? Whilst I'm on a moan. Those pathetic BT adverts featuring Ewan Mcgregor. Why do they have to have such fu@ktards in those adverts? And why is Ewan complaining he's being paid a lot for doing nothing? No different to any other day then you monumental @unt.

I think you need to go have a wk and calm down.

Constant pop-ups from Microsoft inviting me to have Windows 10 for free.

I know several people that took advantage of the free upgrade to W10 and their PC is now completely unclefked with all data lost.

I do not want this to happen to me.

I took advantage of the upgrade. Laptop works perfectly and the abortion that was Windows 8.1 is but a distant (unhappy) memory!

Last I heard, Microsoft is a commercial organisation, meaning they do their stuff in return for money. If they want me to have something for free, there has to be a catch.

At home or in work time, with or without toilet roll?

[davhill]

Sloppy copywriting in ads.

"Imagine riding a pony with terrific hair and 54 toilet rolls." The pony has terrific hair, or just a blow dried mane?

" (Some wardrobe) makes the most of your space - and maximizes it." Tautology for idiots.

" The Dyson Slurpmatic GTX gives constant suction." Does it really? I never expected a vacuum cleaner to do this.

I know English is a language that is known for its ability to both be flexible and to 'grow' but this is getting silly. And I'm getting bored of it.

are they just made up examples?

No, they're genuine. Wowcher, Sharpes and Dyson respectively.

[Hugo a Gogo]

I thought the Dyson one was about constant, no matter how full it is, suction
that's the whole USP of those cyclone things

People (usually with a big queue behind them) who get just in through a train door, then stop and look confused about where they are. While everyone behind them is stuck on the platform waiting for them to wake up.

Ditto tops of escalators.

The throbbers on escalators often have those sodding suitcases on wheels and stop the moment they get off the escalator to fanny around pulling the handle back up.

When it's one of those conveyors in a supermarket and you have a trolley, and someone stops at the top and you can't even mitigate a collision because the trolley is locked into the grooves. See the panic as you tell them they're about to get run over!

[Negative Creep]

The ominous "grinding" vibration which has suddenly coming through my clutch pedal

As a person of a certain age, everything is 'Back in the day'.

If only I could remember which day it was eh!

[CB2152]

I'm watching Wheeler Dealers, the episode with the Willys Jeep. There's a circular yellow plate on the front grille with a "C" and a number. This number keeps switching between "02" and "42" in what I can only presume is either a confounding continuity cock-up or just an annoying wind up.
