People who use multi shot when taking photos, what happened to setting up the shot.
Lazyness. That's what happens.Same as all these "photographers" who put 'such and such photography' on their photos. Then you look at the exif data and find that everything they've done was shot in auto mode.

Electronic, water saving, toilet flushing regulators.
I have to take codeine for pain following an operation. My lavatorial habits can be described thus: I poo like a snake eats. Namely, nothing passes for a goodly period of time and then, after a few terrifying rumbles and the cold sweats, I walk carefully to the facilities and pass something similar in size, odour and apprearance to a dead pig that has been lying next to a tropical swamp for a week.
This is clearly going to require a fairly hefty barrage of water to dislodge, but the morons that decide to put in the water saving flushes clearly have not anticipated this scenario. One would expect that a vegetarian diet (one that no doubt they are familiar with), rich in fibre and pulses produces a sort of composty silage that breaks up instantly whne it enters the pan. A 25ml dash of water from the cistern amply disposes of this. But not mine, not this morning.
Eight times I tried to get the b
d to move. Eight times the cistern chuckled at me as it refilled in a fraction of a second. Yet still, as I gazed sadly in to the pan, I was mocked by the curly tail of last week's suppers, rising eerily out of the tainted water like the sword of excalibur.
Because of this, the trap capacity in my office is down by 10% until the plumbers come. Productivity is ruined, water is wasted, and all for nothing.

Take responsibility for your emissions and batter it to death with the bogbrush; it's the honourable thing to do.

You should though, leaving stinky s
tes for some poor plumber to deal with is not cricket. It's only poo, not nuclear waste.People who don't understand binary states.
"Do you have a Tesco Clubcard at all?" said the checkout girl to me earlier today.
What do you mean "at all"? You either have one or you don't have one. It's yes or no. Or is she asking if I have one but have cut a small portion off it? "Yes, my good woman, I have 87% of a Club Card. I removed the other 13% because I considered it to be superfluous". Only even that doesn't work, because the binary state is a valid Club Card or not a valid Club Card (with "I don't have one" being in the "not a valid club Card" state).
I'm probably over-thinking this.

I'd estimate that 10% of people I've served have approximately 87% of a clubcard."Do you have a Tesco Clubcard at all?" said the checkout girl to me earlier today.

Actually I have no idea of the percentage of a Clubcard they have, but there are quite a few people who cut it down so that it fits in their wallet better.
Your point stands though

Very much so. Buy camera, take poor photos, open Facebook page called 'my name photography'. Tell everyone I'm a photographer.

People replacing the word 'very' with 'super'. It was very hot, it wasn't super hot. It was very fast, it wasn't super fast. It was very dangerous, it wasn't super dangerous. It was very exciting, it wasn't super exciting. It was very dry, oh, hang on a minute...

Have you been listening to Martin Brundle?(oh, and that's Big Gay Al in the picture. He's super, thanks for asking.)

- F1 commentators and some fans - 'Rosberg [or anyone else] was mighty in qualifying.' MIGHTY???
- Anyone starting a thread/post with 'So'. Why not just 'I've bought a new car...', instead of 'So I've bought a new car...'?
- Me thinks.
- 'Shirley' instead of 'surely'.
- 'Cue me...'
- 'Duty of Care', thrown around randomly.
- Left wingers who avidly avoid all taxes possible while telling everyone about underfunding in the public sector and how it's our duty to pay more taxes to prop it up.
