Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 6)
Discussion
The amount of cars on the road with one or both headlights set too high.
LED street lights that are like spotlights and leave dark areas for pedestrians to hide in.
Pedestrians crossing multi-lane roads in the dark, wearing dark clothes. The pedestrian crosses halfway into the nearside lane so he can skip across when you've passed him......without a thought that the driver might change lane at some point. It amazes me that people don't stop to consider the danger they put themselves in. The driver only needs to be distracted for a moment to kill them.

We never ventured onto a flight without a carry-on bag specifically to calm each child - filled with whatever toys, distractions, food, sweets, treats, clothing, comforters that we could fit into it. We never ceased to be amazed by the parents who would attempt a flight without any obvious means of comforting or distracting their baby or toddler.
Exactly this, we also did the same 
Log onto system enter user id and password. Next screen enter old password and enter new password twice.
Why do I need to entry my old password again, I have already entered it to gain access to the change password screen. If ever find the person who designed this system they are getting a good shoeing.

A user could have left their computer / device logged in and unlocked. Allowing a password change without asking for the old password would be extremely poor security practice and anyone who *didn't* design it that way would deserve a good shoeing..Why do I need to entry my old password again, I have already entered it to gain access to the change password screen.

It’s a s
t system that I have been using for over 30 years. It has two passwords, an entry password that you cannot change until prompted like this morning and a hidden internal password. If I was to leave the system logged on and someone tried to change the password it would try to change the internal password. As I logged on and it instantly took me direct to the entry password change screen I shouldn’t have to input my password again.
You can try to justify why it is doing something, but at the end of the day its just a s
t systemDon't worry, Cotty. I've got a masterplan for creating a new little town - miles from anywhere - working title '1975'.
No computers, no digital (well, maybe a calculator which spells B00B5), old pubs where you can smoke and play cards, Deep Purple on the local radio station, cricket on the green etc. And proper jobs like mechanic (who fiddle with carburettors), butcher, carpenter etc.
I'll put you down for a nice little cottage. With an indoor loo!

Now if someone could just put the heating on in the office that would be great. I just spotted a girl in the office filling up a hot water bottle.

The cash machine at my local shop has various options including cash, cash & balance, cash & receipt. When I select cash it then asks if I want to check my balance, if I did I'd have chosen the cash & balance option. Once that question is dismissed I'm then asked if I want a receipt with my cash. Why bother with the first menu if it's going to ask me these questions anyway!?
Even after using this machine fairly regularly for the last four years I still find myself getting annoyed beyond reason.
