The comedy geniuses on here, who think that these are hysterical -

Farcebook
Bookface
Halfrauds
Honda Jizz

Don't forget other snippets of hilarity like -

Flea Bay
Lanz-a-grotty
Sleazy Jet

Forgot about those gems-

Grotwick Airport
WorstGroup
Crapita

Private Eye uses examples all the time. I'm sure it used to refer to Price Waterhouse Cooper as Poodle Slaughterhouse, but haven't seen it for a while.

PH's "go to last unread post" system. Not only is it usually not the last unread post, sometime there's a whole page before it you haven't read.

PH's standard response that "The devs are looking into it", followed by - nothing.

BBC Newsbeat. It's driving me absolutely up the fking bend. Click on some moderately interesting headline, get pre-adolescent bullst instead. What the fk is this utter stting drivel doing masquerading as journalism? Why is it all mixed in with actual news articles on the BBC News website?

Glad it's not just me. It also annoys me that have the news articles on site are video rather than text now, I tend to tend to have a skim of the news at my desk at lunchtime and don't really want to have to put on some headphones to watch a video when I could just read an article if they could be bothered to write it.

Newsbeat is for younger/teen audiences, always has been...

Car dealers that are closed on a Sunday.

And that's fine, better than fine, it's a concept I actively support. My objection is to being tricked into its articles because they are linked, unlabelled as Newsbeat, from the main BBC News site as if they were grownup journalism.

When you accidentally push on a pull door and the person behind says “You need to pull”.

Yeah, thanks for that, the next plan was to start lifting from the bottom.

No you fool that cotton hoodie you pulled up will not protect from the rain. Now you just look daft with a soaking rag on your head.

One of the volunteers at the boccia club always points helpfully to the target ball. No mate, we thought we'd aim for the ref instead…

Meh, they might think that you'll assume its locked, unless directed otherwise.

My work computer has just been upgraded to the latest version of Microsoft Office.

The new version of Outlook cannot make up its mind whether it wants to be "informal" or not with the style.

In the sidebar, some of the titles all appear in lower case, whilst some appear to make use of capital letters, all within the same menu bar.

Stupid, lazy effort to appear informal and trendy in my opinion.

My work laptop updated itself a couple of weeks ago. Rebooted while I was in the middle of something and utterly broke Lync (which we use for Internal IM). No idea why it won't work. Don't have time to work out either.

Well done MS. That'll be updates now turned to manual only.

Here's one. I get a request at least once a week from this web page to book a table at the pub, or request a Christmas menu, or request a repeat prescription for Mrs. Miggins' bunion cream.



Stupid fecking people!

Roadworks which no prior warning of them anywhere. A couple of Fridays ago I was on my way to Cadwell Park, and given that it was Friday afternoon I decided not to take the dual carriageway route round Lichfield as it would have been backed up with traffic, so I elected to go through the middle of town and back onto the A38 at the other end past Trent Valley station. I go through the town (which as expected was fairly traffic free), get to the other side...and the access road to the A38 is closed for roadworks with no warning at all so I have to go back through the town and sit on the DC in traffic anyway!

I used to hate this when commuting up the M1 back to the north west. There are two main routes:

M1 --> M6
or
M1 --> A50

I used to chose the M1-->A50 as it was a more reliable route, however there were many times I would go sailing past the M6 junction thinking all was fine - only to find that a few miles after the M6 junction - the matrix signs proudly announce that the A50 is closed for roadworks and diverted you up the M1 and through Derby and along the A52.

Why couldn't they warn you of the A50 closure before the M6 junction, allowing you to take the M6, instead of diverting traffic that would usually take the A50 towards the north west - right through the centre of Derby!
