Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
Websites that offer a "free" service and get you to enter a load of information - only then to ask you for registration details before you actually get to the bit you wanted.
Take the Parkers "free car valuation".
It states on the website "Enter your reg number or use the options below to look up your car and find out how much it is worth"
So I enter the Reg number and click the button that says "get valuation".
Only it doesn't go and get the valuation - it takes me to another page that asks a question about whether I own the car (quite what relevance that has is beyond me). So I answer the question and click the button that says "this is the car I want a valuation for".
Does it then take me to the valuation.....no. It then takes me to another page that now requires I enter email address, post code, mobile number, penis length etc etc.
fking hate websites that spring the registration requirement on you after they have asked you a load of questions.
Why doesn't the front page just say "Register for free valuation" - then i'd know not to bother.

Using a car horn repeatedly. The first one is fine, each one after that grates on me even more.
One of my neighbours daughters does that every time she leaves after visiting. I don't really know what she expects her dad to do when she decides to toot the horn half a dozen times as she drives off.Presumably they've already said goodbye when he has shown her out his front door, so I don't know what this adds to the farewell.

On the phone they are probably the same kind who say, "bye, bye.....bye....byebye....bye...bye" then talks for another 5 minutes.Presumably they've already said goodbye when he has shown her out his front door, so I don't know what this adds to the farewell.

Kitchen diners, every bloody new build I have been to see today is a kitchen diner, why on earth would I want my living room smelling of cooking or have to turn the TV up when the dishwasher is on.
'Tis the current hipster fashion So to add to the thread, modern housing developments.
I wouldn't mind but I'm looking for houses in the 300k range, an old house is out of the question as I don't want the hassle and they rarely have en suite. I have rented new builds and the lower energy costs plus toilets everywhere makes them attractive and my son can visit.
The lounge diner design for a house they are asking 300k for is insane, I'm not a snob but I do like to cook and have people over so can you imagine trying to entertain with 2 hairy arsed teenagers watching ste on the TV in the lounge area while you're trying to chat to your mate and his Mrs over a curry?

This really only came to me last night - why do the names of so many diesel cars always include an "i"? It's not as if you can have a diesel engine that doesn't have fuel injection?
I would say that all names with an 'i' actually have a 'di' - for direct injection, with injectors going right into the combustion chamber, which is a relatively modern thing for dieselsso for example TDI means turbo direct injection, rather than turbo diesel injection

Downlights with springs powerful enough to kill a giant mutant rat and which take down half the ceiling when you try to extract them for repair or replacement.
Giant mutant rats? I don't think they exist. https://youtu.be/BOv5ZjAOpC8
