Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 5)
Discussion
Car insurance. Mainly online services.
Total cost £300.
Phone up. Oh yes, that doesn't include this that or the other so actually the total cost is £590.
Yes, I know Sir but you didn't say your car is blue or you need to travel on a Sunday that's another £50.
Then after all that the bloody government takes insurance tax, b

I'm only trying to insure a Passat not the space shuttle.

People doing things really quickly.
Woman on the bus today texting, absolutely rapid typing and doing a weird swipe thing on her phones keypad, trouble was she kept having to go back and re-do a lot of it, just bloody slow down and do it right the first time. I was sat just behind her to the right so she was in full view. After about 15 minutes of CONSTANT typing I had to physically turn away as it was annoying me so much.

People who press the button at a pedestrian crossing when I am already stood there and have already pressed the button.
The same people who get in the lift on a lower floor than I did and don’t thing my pressing iof the ground floor button sufficed so they have a go at doing it better. talksthetorque said:

I had that in a hospital lift yesterday. Four people got in after me and one by one pressed the top floor which was already lit. They weren’t even visitors - Drs/Nurses. Just bizarre.nonsequitur said:

Anyone who writes "shirley" when the word is "surely".
Cringe-worthy and very annoying..
A classic that will be with us forever. Fourty years in 2020. So don't hold your breath that it will disappear any time soon.Cringe-worthy and very annoying..
(Any time soon. A tragic phrase).
You can tell by how often it is used in a thread where humour is not required or tasteful.
For instance a thread will be running about some guy being broken hearted and thinking suicide is the only way out and some moron will write ' Shirley you must be able to get help' or some such fatuous nonsense. Completely inappropriate .

The crossing near my place of work has a habit of resetting itself while you're not looking; you can be stood there wondering why the lights aren't changing then look down and the 'request' light is off. So people are in the habit of pressing it as a matter of course. Besides, it's a well known fact that the more times you press it, the quicker the lights will change...fttm said:

Royal fking Mail again. Ordered new laptop on Amazon yesterday, should come with Prime today.
Postie has been and gone, no laptop. Checked tracking, and despite my address being Aberdeenshire, it's in Northern Ireland.
How is that even possible!?
