At airports:

People who put their belongings through the scanners, then proceed to stand on the other side putting all of the items back in the bag, pockets. etc. while still standing at the conveyor. I'm standing there waiting for my bag, etc. to come through, but the fking conveyor has stopped because it's backed up with all of these s who can't lift the fking box onto the table area that's provided for exactly that fking purpose. s.

People who stand at the front of the baggage carousel and lift off practically every single bag thinking it's theirs.

People who take small suitcases on planes, resulting in me being unable to put something above my seat because they have taken all of the fking room in the overhead lockers. These same people spend 20 minutes queuing just to be able to use the overhead lockers and just delay the fking plane. Repeat at the other end when it takes 20 minutes to disembark. Utter s.

I feel a delicious thrill when reading about stuff like this, I don't have the need or wish to travel anywhere by plane, fortunately.

Never seen that one. People waiting at carousels is enough material for an entire thesis on human behavioural studies.

I always hang back - I know my bag is either going to be (a) last or (b) missing. My pet hate is young children clustering around them - difficult not to give them a dunt on the head when you're trying to lift a 25 kilo bag past them.

ebay, can only reset your password once... what the fk. Is the site so full of fraudsters than even two different levels of security aren't enough?

Their suggestion to remedy this "create a new account"! What the fk, why don't you just allow me to reset my password you jumped up flea market s.

I may be stupid for not remembering my password but fk me I look like a field leading scientist to the people who thought up the process that allows this:

"If people's accounts get taken over by fraudsters then we just tell them to make a new one"... oh thank fk for that, I'm glad the fraudsters have access to my account details while it "only takes a minute to make a new one" for me.

So I click the "create a new account" link, guess what "that email address is already registered to an account, for password help click here"... I take back the above, I'm not stupid in any way shape or form.

Why are modern businesses unable to comprehend basic functionality for their users?

People who push their luggage trolleys right up to the carousel, so that other people can't get to it to get their bags off. I'd like to feed them slowly into the carousel's machinery.

Old friends/acquaintances who randomly reach out to me on social media e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn etc after not having spoken to me for about a decade. Usually ask how I am getting on, I reply within 24 hours and then I hear fk all back from them. What the fk are they up to? Just being nosey bds?! I've had three people do this to me in the last six months.

Windows pop ups that have the selection of "don't see this message again" and you see the message again despite choosing that option.

Well, the Four Tops for a start. hehe

But, yes, it is one of those Americanisms that sets my teeth on edge. yes

What's wrong with "contacted me"?

My wife's cousin posting 28 pictures on FB of her daughter getting her hair done. She's 26 FFS, not 2.

And 'people you might like to follow' and only Mark Zuckenberg (or whatever he's called) is shown, despite deleting the same message on a daily basis.

Quality observation, I hate the assholes that standup immediately after the plane stops and remove said luggage from the compartments. I take great pleasure sitting there until it is the right time to leave then push in front of bewildered passengers who believe they have presidence over you being as they have stood for 15 minutes.

s who break your stuff. Car was broken into last night, and they stole a £15 hoody! Didnt touch my sunglasses, nor any of the cash, but put their hand through the window and pulled it off the back seat. Now its going to cost £75 to get the glass replaced, and £15 to get it cleaned and valeted to remove all the shards of glass.

I can only hope they slit their vein and stole the hoody to help stop the bleeding...

I know!


Got half way home with no window and (thinking they had just smashed the glass and not taken anything) reached round for my hoody only to find it wasnt there! So not only was I then cold, but pissed off and cold!
