People whose “mate” always has a better watch, car, house, job, holiday than you.
“Oh you going to America? My friend went to America ten times, flew first class, stayed in 5 star hotels and said it was crap”
“Oh you’ve bought a Ferrari 458? My mate has a Ferrari 488, it’s so much more modern, he didn’t like the 458”
“Oh your kid has a job at XYZ? My mates daughter worked there and said it’s crap and she is much happier at her new job”
“Oh you’ve bought a Porsche? I really like Ferrari’s. Have you seen the 458, it looks amazing.”
Yeah, If you've been to Tenerife they've been to 11enerife.“Oh you going to America? My friend went to America ten times, flew first class, stayed in 5 star hotels and said it was crap”

I am going to be a properly grumpy old man.Spotify.
"We can curate playlists and recommend new artists based on your listening history and proudly give you a yearly round-up of your habits"
Also Spotify:
"No sir, you most definitely can't remove that one song you didn't play (but someone else in the house did) from your history. Oh and we'll only recommend things like Christmas music and Taylor Swift from now on. Yeah I know we used to let you do that and there's active petitions to have the feature back...no"
Also Google for never getting the voice recognition right on their smart speakers (or just working as configured) which leads to the above.

People with no awareness of thier surroundings, like the woman this morning walking her dog along the cycle path while on her phone wearing headphones, so only reacted to my bell when her dog turned to look at me.
Equally annoying is the council who decided to redo the old brick paved footpath in crushed rock, so now in dry weather it's dusty and in wet weather its muddy so everyone walks on the parallel cycle path.

Spotify.
I'm finding Spotify more and more awkward to use.They've changed the "add to library" button now so when you press it, you get asked which playlist to add it to - minor thing but just another step to take. You used to just add to liked songs, and if you wanted it in a specific playlist you could select that.
I pay for premium and keep getting adverts about a family plan which I don't want. I'm sick of the upsell attempts.
Also I find the ways to find new music difficult and annoying. It's often suggested playlists all containing my "liked" songs. I can understand this being available but I want to see new music sometimes. You can find it but it's pot luck as to whether it contains a lot of songs I already know and saved. I'd like an option which is completely new music.
Additionally, why can't I filter by:
- Most played
- Least played
and other options like this.

Strange, I pay or the Duo account and don't get any adverts at all.Also I find the ways to find new music difficult and annoying. It's often suggested playlists all containing my "liked" songs.

Completely agree on finding new stuff though, it used to be that the "Daily Mix" playlists changed every day and had a mix of stuff I like and some new stuff, but now it just seems to be the same stuff all the time.

On the subject of music - I remembered that Fairytale of New York by The Pogues was banned by BBC Radio due to being 'offensive'.
"OK folks we can't play Fairytale of New York this year because it's offensive, so instead here is Cardi B rapping about her pussy".
I’ve always found it offensive. As in offensively terrible. But each to their own. "OK folks we can't play Fairytale of New York this year because it's offensive, so instead here is Cardi B rapping about her pussy".
Apparel websites, where you filter by your exact size (shoe size in this case) and then the options come up £40 for example, click on it, and then the cost jumps to £55 for your size.
That's why I filtered by size in the first place! Just tell me what my size costs!
Sports Direct, yeah yeah, I know I'm council.
