Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
On the subject of supermarkets, customers who decide they don't want something they previously picked and put in their trolley, so just stash it anywhere. Doubly so if it has come from a chilled cabinet and they stash it on a normal shelf.
It's lazy, selfish, and it's discourteous to staff. Plus, in the case of chilled stuff, wasteful*.
My ex used to do this, and used to tell me that if I cared so much then I should walk all the way back to where it came from, so invariably I had to as I didn't want to be party to it.
(* - assuming staff bin such things, on the grounds that they have no idea how long it has been un-chilled. If it's put back in the chilled section then all bets are off on the 'use by' date, which is also bad).

I burnt the thumb and index finger of my right hand rather badly on a soldering iron when I was 11.
For the intervening 18 years, there was absolutely no long term anything relating to it, just an unhappily clear memory of absolute agony and a slightly smooth-feeling fingerprint.
Then I inherited my and started using my daughter's iPad.
Voilá, a long-term effect: the bloody thing does not notice if I use that finger - I am right-handed - to drag or swipe on the screen. Tapping, for some reason, is usually okay.
It is unbelievably annoying.

Anything that ask's far too much. ATM's..You want cash , then it asks if you want cash with a receipt? Without? Do you want to see your balance? and so on ...arghh just gimme the feckin money!
Turning off , laptops/monitors/touchscreens.....do you really want to turn it off? Then the question are you sure?

People who pout in selfies. Just don't. It makes you look like a startled trout. A colleague of mine was out one lunchtime and heard a council estate style mother shouting at her daughter "Kayleigh, don't smile, pout!", as they were posing in front of their phone. He said the daughter was about 7 years old.
I don't get the selfie obssession in general. I can understand if you are on holiday and want a few snaps, but it's the folk that have to take photos of everything they go to. And more importantly they have to be in every picture usually barging folk out the way with their selfie stick! It's almost as if they don't have photo proof on Facebook of what gig, pub or event they were at no one will believe them. And then there are those who just take selfies to try and attract compliments on Facebook.
I was on holiday in Sydney a couple of years ago and 2 guys in their 20's asked if I would take a photo of them with the harbour bridge in the background. Which I did. It took all of a minute, they didn't barge in with selfie sticks as other tourists were doing, and although I'm no David Bailey they probably got a better or more natural looking photo than one taken from a phone wobbling about on a selfie stick.

The Hewlett Packard advert currently running
"98,352"
"What's that?"
"The number of units we'll make next month to maximise earnings"
"That's a projection"
"No, it's a fact"
Um... no... it's a projection. Unless you are going to slavishly follow your software and make exactly 98,352 units and either be under or over stocked.
Either way, it annoys me beyond reason.

Not seen the ad but how will that work to "maximise" earnings?If they accidently make 98,353,will they make a loss?"98,352"

My mother-in-law. Yes, yes, I know, it's been done before by everyone from me to Les Dawson.
She has an incessant cough. It has been diagnosed as psychosomatic. It's constant. She won't stop talking. It goes cough cough phlegm cough cough "my cough isn't getting any better" cough phlegm "it's terrible" cough cough phlegm. Never once does she think "perhaps if I stopped talking, I'd stop coughing". Last night, she had apple pie with cinnamon on it. She said "this cinnamon is going to" cough cough cough phlegm cough cough.
She eats like it's the last meal she'll ever have. Starving Ethiopians enjoying their first McDonalds have more decorum. It's like some sort of mechanical shovel.
She tells the kids not to talk with their mouth full. With a mouthful. Which she sprays across the table over me. Whilst coughing.
She won't stop f
king talking. If you don't respond, she repeats it. Continually. Utterly inane st. Statements that don't need a response. "I expect the cat has come in by now". Who fking cares? Not the first time, certainly not the fourth time.
Tonight, on my sofa, she has broken wind, belched and scratched her minge. Whilst coughing and talking incessantly.
Now she has gone to bed. It takes every ounce of my self control not to smother her with a pillow. When I go to bed later I will be kept awake by the coughing.
If I leave early enough tomorrow, I won't see her.
I will leave at 5am.

Young lads that drive through busy areas in the evening revving the nuts off their AMG/M5/RS6 then accelerating 20 yards and screeching to a halt.
I was in Manchester last night in Deansgate and there were a dozen high powered sports cars full of young Asian lads (not saying all these types of drivers are Asian, just the ones I saw last night) doing this. What on earth is it for? Do they really think anyone is impressed??
