Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)
Discussion
Nikon's 18-200mm zoom lens.
Zooms to the long end clockwise. Perfect
Focuses to infinity clockwise. Mmmm feels good.
But...
The lock switch to prevent it extending on its own pushes forward to hold it back and pulls back to permit it to extend forward. Arrrgh!
And wtf is it with the Nikon F bayonet mount 'unscrewing' clockwise! FFS!
At least it's better than Canon lenses that focus and zoom in backwards. Can't get my noggin around that at all.

I've got to chuckle with one of my friends.
If you tell her you've just booked a one week holiday in a hotel in Tenerife then she'll say she's just come back from 2 weeks in her villa in Elevenerife.
Tell her you're the worlds biggest w
ker and she'll say she's frigged herself 20 times in the past hour.
Why do people do it?
Errr, oh. I mean, it annoys beyond reason.

Back buttons on browsers and apps that dont take you back to where you were.
Partly that's a combination of the way browsers work and the way modern websites work. Often only the differences / changes are transmitted and the browser doesn't cache these (and maybe even can't). So the back button literally takes you back to the previous website you visited rather than the previous step of what you were doing on the current website. My own annoyance on this subject is that my bank logs me out if I so much as look at the back button whilst doing Internet Banking with them.
The automatic passport machines when you re-enter the UK at Gatwick.
There's about 2 dozen of them in the North terminal & plainly they don't work fast enough or reliably enough. There's always a scrum to get to them & loads of people can't seem to get them to work after queuing to get to one.
Then they have to reverse out & fight their way back through the queue to get someone to look at their passport & clear them through manually.
They've been st since they were installed years ago, they were still st last Thursday.
Some fecker has made a mint out of selling and (not) maintaining them & all they do is piss everybody off!

A sure sign of narcissism. I can’t stand it when people do this. If you tell her you've just booked a one week holiday in a hotel in Tenerife then she'll say she's just come back from 2 weeks in her villa in Elevenerife.

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues shown in tonight’s episode, there’s a help line available at www….. On pretty much every drama shown on the telly these days.
If you phone them because you've been affected by the dire standard of acting they are unhelpful. Which is irritating.MYOB said:

"I'm getting a Stage 1 remap"
You mean, you're just getting a remap, you fking plum. 
Um... eh? So if a tuner offers several states of tuning then what do you refer to them as? How do you differentiate them?You mean, you're just getting a remap, you f
king plum. Stage 1 is a mild remap with usually no extra components needing replacing, Stage 2 a more aggressive one with possibly uprated injectors etc., Stage 3 the full on which requires a lot more components upgrading including maybe the clutch, and so on.
Sounds like you're the plum. And on a car site too!

Also, what you call Stage 2, someone else could call stage 3. The poster above who supposedly has a Stage 3 remapped car - why Stage 3? Who defines it as Stage 3? According to you, if he's had injector work done then it's a Stage 2 - although for, say, a Saab then injector/fuel pressure work tends to be described as Stage 3+ (on certain Saab forums). But according to your definition he can't call it a Stage 3 if he's had injector work but no clutch? Why not call it Stage 9 just to be all "elevenerife" about it?
And beyond reason, CC. I could say whatever I like and not need to justify it on this thread. You know that, and you've pulled others up on it before. I know you like to be contrary but stop getting your knickers in a knot.

I'm another one on the hating of 'Stages' of tune bandwagon. Stage 1, 2, 3 etc, It was widely shot down a few years ago as meaningless, but it seems to be coming back with a vengeance lately, particularly on Youtube.
