I'm guessing neither of you clicked my YouTube link then. 
Facebook, and the way that sometimes (well, most times at the moment) the "view all posts" link does nothing other than bring up another link that says something like "view all 5 posts", which then does nothing when I click on it. Even if I come back half an hour later, if it's still waiting for a response from the first click, it hasn't got the brains to try again as there was obviously a problem last time. And if I close FB and re-open it, the chances of finding the same post that I was trying to expand are virtually nil. Why can't it just do things in date/time order, and have done with it? There's an option to sort by date/time instead of "relevance" (whatever that means), but after a day or so it starts prompting me to see if I want to change back to the order FB prefers, and then after a day or two more it just does it.
I'd drop it altogether if it wasn't for so many other people I know that I only keep in touch with that way.

People (cretins) leaving the sponge/cloth in the bottom of the sink!
It's the most bacteria ridden place in the entire kitchen, what kind of idiotic b***end wouldn't realise that?!?

Reminds me of a rather nasty outbreak of food poisoning at one of the Halls of Residence when I was a student. It's the most bacteria ridden place in the entire kitchen, what kind of idiotic b***end wouldn't realise that?!?

It turned out that there was just one tea towel in the kitchen / common room, and people would use it and then put it on the radiator to dry. It had been assumed that the cleaners were regularly changing it. They weren't.
We have a cleaner here that's just like consuela from family guy, walks past your desk and picks things up and says "you need? you no need I take" however she can't look at you because she's got something wrong with her neck so can only look down, She shuffles along carrying a black bag knocking things off desks as she goes which she then picks up saying again "you no need I throw it away"
Anyhow she goes around wiping the door handles, desks, keyboard, phone handsets, kitchens and cups with the same cloth.

Work colleagues, or specifically colleague who has just been on a rant about our 1% payrise that has just been announced, at least it is an increase.
He has spent the last 20 minutes claiming he deserves at least 7 or 8% with no basis to back this up, despite the fact that he is usually the bottleneck in the department and saying how he is going to go home now and spend the rest of the afternoon on Linked in to "get what he deserves"

Roadsigns that say quite clearly and unequivocally that the road ahead is closed, so you immediately think damn, and prepare to turn around or even actually turn around. But the road ahead is not closed, it's a side road, 2nd left or 3rd right maybe. So why the f
k are they putting huge great signs up saying road ahead closed when it's not, you can carry on no problem.
