I seen a facebook post where the person posted they were at hospital, with no other details. Cue all the same sort of questions posted above. Now if I had to go to hospital, the last thing on my mind would be to post it on Facebook!
Also annoying is if someone goes on a holiday, or even a daytrip, they feel the need to post every pub, cafe, beach or shop that they visit. Why do I need to know where they are at any given point of the day? And why are they wasting every half hour posting where they are instead of just enjoying their break. It feels as if I'm away with them!

Surely that's the point?BossCerbera is currently on an epic road trip in his Diablo VT, along with many other rather nice cars, and posting regular updates to his Facebook. Personally, I'm loving it. I can't be there but am experiencing a tiny part of it vicariously.

Lazy colleagues.
We have free tea, coffee, hot chocolate, even poncy lattes, cappucinos, etc., at work. We're served these drinks in mugs too, not plastic cups.
I've a number of colleagues though, it seems, who are uanble to move their dirty mugs to the kitchens or the coffee lounge, from where the cleaners then take them to be washed and returned to shelves for re-use. No. some colleagues leave their dirty mugs on the floor in the lifts, or in the stairwells or on other peoples' desks!
You lazy, lazy
s!
It's not exactly a hardship to move your dirty mug from your free drink to somewhere where it'll get magically cleaned!

Annoyances on Facebook
I'd add people who post links to "click-bait" articles like "You'll never believe what happened next!" or "I came out as a wolf, what animal are you?".I don't care.

My new glasses, which don't fit properly and feel like they're falling off my left ear the whole time.
I suppose (know) I am really pissed off at myself for not being more careful when I collected them at the weekend but OH
MY GOD they are annoying,.
How can such a relatively small thing can properly wind you up for hours.

Restaurants where they serve your chips on your plate but in a tiny metal basket like they've just come out of the world's smallest deep fat fryer - get rid of the fking ornament and just bring me more chips, instead of cluttering up my plate in some poncy tactic to get away with serving less food. Do you think I'm that fking bored that this sort of st is going to improve my evening?
A restaurant I sometimes go to where the food is ok but order a beer and the waiter plonks a glass on the table, puts one hand behind his back and with the other hand, rests the top of the open bottle on the edge of the glass, uses the bottle to tilt the glass towards him and dribbles the beer artfully in. Just give me the bleeding beer and I'll pour it myself, using two hands, much more quickly! How many times do you think I want to see this you pretentious fking titbiscuit? Do you think anyone comes here because they've heard you pour beer like this? Now I intervene and take it off them when it looks like they're going to do it - this way I avoid the possibility of committing alcohol related violence before I've even had a drink.
Calm down Strela, It's called customer service.king ornament and just bring me more chips, instead of cluttering up my plate in some poncy tactic to get away with serving less food.

Wedding anniversary? Special birthday? first date?, dont you want a little style when celebrating those, and other, occasions.
Just relax and let the atmosphere flow around. You will enjoy it all the better.
I used to be a waiter in a previous life and if anybody snatched a beer out of my hands it could well end up over his head. Either that or 'A little word in the chefs ear'!

I think, for his own sake, Strela should stick to take aways, clearly less stressful

Nah they do it so they can serve a small portion, if they put the chips on the plate the customer would be disappointed with the small portion.I would argue that most guests at a restaurant appreciate a little elegance and sophistication when parting with their hard earned cash.
Elegance and sophistication? They are chips, deep fried potatoes that you can get in any chppie wrapped in paper.

Ah, but its what accompanies the chips in this instance.
I kind of get that, a restaurant has higher overheads than a takeaway. Footprint, waiting staff, cleaning, washing etc etc. But chips are as cheap as ..... er chips. Ill pay good money for a decent steak in a nice place but I want a decent portion of chips, that's the cheap bit. Cotty said:

Personally, can I add: not the triple cooked ste that's all the rage right now.I've not had a single one of those that has been remotely palatable. Sometimes simple is best.
