The fact that none of the 3 keyboards on my desk have either a £ or € key, so I have to try to remember the alt codes* . The lack of a £ is fair enough as I'm in the Netherlands, but why the hell is there no € key? fortunately there is a $ key as not having one of them would make Excel a nightmare.



* Alt-156 is easy enough to remember when posting on a car forum, but Alt-0128 is trickier as they're a bit before my time biggrin
On a UK keyboard alt-gr and the $ sign make a € - not sure if the same for a dutch setup.
Whilst we are talking keyboards - different sized shift/enter/delete keys on various keyboards. My left pinky can hit the right button every time on my own keyboard, but my works laptop is some miniscue thing that normally means I hit the funny "4-little-square" button.

I wish I had a keyboard with 1 shift, 1 enter, and no tab, caps lock, alt etc. I am not a super-user.
Caps Lock is a right PITA. You can reprogram it, I believe, but I've never got round to doing it.

Indeed. yes

Also, people who think that dual carriageways have two lanes. The 'dual' refers to the fact that the carriageways are separated by a permanent central reservation and can have any number of lanes, including one.

This lack of misconception by some people annoys me beyond reason.

yes

There's a single lane stretch of a national speed limit dual carriageway on the A31 and the amount of people who slow down for it is bloody annoying.

I'm guilty of this, I thought until I recently did my bike test and brushed up on the highway code that a single lane dual carriageway was a 60 rather than a 70 when with national speed limit markers.

There is even a thread about it on here....

Oops sorry. Proof reading fail on my part. I started out writing "lack of knowledge", changed it to "misconception", and forgot to remove the "lack of".

In other news, people who don't proof read their posts before posting annoys me beyond reason. silly

The fact that having upgraded my iphone from a 4s to a 6s last weekend, i have to traipse back to the O2 store because they neglected to tell me the 6s takes a different sized SIM.

Elf on a fking shelf.

Daughter has taken a shine to it. She writes the busy little a note every evening, which means that I've not only got to come up with "mischief" every morning before she gets up, but I've also got to reply to the note, in retarded left handed writing so she won't recognise it.

December 26th, that sodding elf is getting a 6 inch nail through the head and chucking on the Rayburn. Elf-magic your way out of that, you little freak.

A bloke at work. Complete cock socket. Despise his very being.

He annoyed me so much at work yesterday so I picked up a chair & threw it at him.

Sadly it missed.

I got suspended yesterday afternoon pending an investigation.

I hate most aspects of Christmas but Elf on a Shelf isn't one.

Our Elf is a disgusting little blighter. I live vicariously through that Elf.
