Not sure answering the phone would be classed as 'technical', but there you go. Standard council worker belligerence though.![](/inc/images/censored.gif)

Actors who sit at a table with a plate of food, and don't actually eat anything. There are kids starving in Africa...........
I'm specifically thinking of Big Bang Theory. Every episode the lads are sitting in the university canteen or at home with a takeaway, and all they do is stir the food with a fork. It's going cold, you tards! (Excepting the salads in the canteen.......). Boils my pee.
An old Norfolk saying - "he pingle wi' his wittals". Pingling is just moving food around the plate, eyeing it suspiciously, and not actually eating anything.

Removing memory sticks from computers. I click on the icon at the bottom right of the screen then highlight and click the 'Eject USB Storage' message.
f
k all happens apart from a pathetic message about it being safe to remove the device!
I've just pressed something marked 'Eject' for f
ks sake!! I want explosive bolts detonating, I want USB sticks being fired into the air at a rate of knots! I want more pyrotechnic charges going off as various safety systems are explosively initiated! I want the USB to float gently down on a parachute and if the USB stick lands a co-workers' beverage I want small inflation devices to deploy so it doesn't sink to the bottom!!
Bill Gates, You hear me? f
k giving your cash to the poor f
kers in Africa and spend it sorting my f
king PC out with a proper USB ejection system!!

If you place a wet memory stick or flash drive into a PC or laptop USB port, then the above does happen.f

This is actually something that annoys me beyond reason as I regularly find when clicking said button it defiantly sticks two fingers up at me with "unable to eject USB device, please try later" or some sf

Someone posts a fairly average video clip of a Le Mans test with the comment "I wet my pants a bit watching this....CAR PRON!" - if you wet your pants watching that clip then you really need to see a urologist![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

Americans.
Or, rather specifically, their on-film depiction of open fires (replete with crackling noises) when the camera pans back to reveal some stupidly-over-burning-miasma-of-flames that they would have us believe is a 'real' fire, but is clearly a gas fed jobby or the remnants of Three Mile Island's meltdown.
Real fires do not distribute flame evenly from one end to the other - there are physical and chemical properties that inhibit such characteristics unless the flammable material is specially prepared with suitable accelerants (I'm not over thinking this am I?).
What's annoying me more is my annoyance at such a trivial matter. But I blame the septics mostly (watched Shutter Island last night).
