For me it is any company that has "International" in their name.
I don't mind that, except when I email a parts distributor in Australia whose name contains the word "International" about sending me some parts, only for them to reply with the information that "we only ship within Australia, sorry".ClockworkCupcake said:

The fact that people seem to think that complaining on a company's page will automatically get your problem solved
Yes, they do, because one or two high-profile complaints get shared multiple times and then everyone tries to get onto the bandwagon with their own amusing tale/sob story/angry rant to try and resolve it. Shakermaker said:

Fixed width web sites on a maximised browser window on the desktop when you have a super-wide 21:9 aspect screen (mine is 3440x1440)
Usually, it annoys me beyond reason when they aren't fixed width and are therefore fairly unreadable unless you aren't maximised.
But sometimes, that's what you actually want. If anything would benefit from super-wide then its a grid like a spreadsheet or TV listings.
So what do the likes of RadioTimes and The Telegraph do?

The longstanding Facebook craze when people are going on holiday that they feel the need to post a picture of their drink at the airport bar. Not even a photo of the person concerned, just their drink!
They haven't done anything original. Went up to a bar, handed over cash, received alcoholic beverage. So why do I need to see a photo of a pint of Carling everytime someone decides to go on holiday?
Are we supposed to care? Be interested? Are they trying to make us jealous?
I don't begrudge anyone a holiday, I quite like going on them too. But I don't feel the need to post every mundane action or movement associated to said holiday.

Yes. Ditto the people who post as their status. "Feeling ill in the A&E department. Me head's hangin' off".They haven't done anything original.

People who you go out to a resaurant - but make a f
king meal out of choosing what to have to eat.
You get to the restaurant and they are so busy faffing about and talking that they don't even bother to pick the menu up until the waiter/waitress comes to the table to take the order. It seems to come as a complete shock to them that somebody might actually want to take a food order.
Of course - they have absolutely no idea what they want so the waiter/waitress gets sent away.
When the waiter/waitress finally comes back - lo and behold there are two or three things that they just cant decide between. So when the waitress asks them - they spend a couple of minutes umming and ahhing - before finally saying "come back to me".
The waitress takes everybody else order then finally comes back to this person who still hasn't decided. They then to go into a flap about what to have. When they have finally chosen - it invariably ends up not looking or tasting as nice as what everybody else has.
