I get unreasonably annoyed by films that revolve around card games. I don’t have interest in card games, apart from simple ones with the grandkids, and I know nothing about how poker works, or bridge, or any game that involves knowing the hierarchy of hands or strategies.
So many parts of films, including a whole Bond film, thus become meaningless to me. Am I supposed to know all this stuff for some reason?

Comedy hands in poker, i.e. 2 players, both with hands where the odds of getting them are exceptionally long, and yet, they both have them.So many parts of films, including a whole Bond film, thus become meaningless to me. Am I supposed to know all this stuff for some reason?

Specsavers. I booked an appointment at 12.45 because I can get to Specsavers for 12.45, it’s a convenient time for me.
I receive a text confirming my appointment is at 12.45 but asks that I arrive 10 minutes early. Why not just set the time to 12.35 instead then?
Chances are you won't be seen until 1255 at best, in my experiences are anything to go by, so even more of a farce.I receive a text confirming my appointment is at 12.45 but asks that I arrive 10 minutes early. Why not just set the time to 12.35 instead then?

My Dentist - try and get 1st appointment of the day, cause I'm busy, turn up slightly early and sit there to watch the Dentist roll up 10 mins after my appointment should've started. Now I see why they have to put a little latency into the system, but it is very annoying if you are fortunate enough to be organised.

Doctors, or at least mine.
You can't actually speak to anyone, everything has to be done on line via their app. If you walk in, you're told to go away and use their app.
This morning however, their on line app is closed so you can't do anything. It's an app, that's on line, how can it be closed??
I just get the feeling that they don't actually want to do the "doctor" part of the job anymore but they can't be that busy as they are still taking on new patients...
The booking app at our surgery is only live from 0830 until 1100. You can’t access it or make an appointment or other request at any other time - if you miss the cutoff you have to wait until the next day.

I had a hygienist appointment the other week I was only 2nd or 3rd of the day and she was already running about 20 minutes late, annoying.Although from the other perspective, my phone chimed at me the other morning as I was about to leave for work to tell me I had a physio appointment in 10 minutes time. Oops. Having you patient phone you at the time thier appointment should be starting to let you know they're not going to make it must be pretty annoying too.
