Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)
Discussion
Phone "upgrades".
It's not an upgrade, you're not some kind of highly valued passenger with Lufthansa. We are simply trying to make you feel like we care (via a completely automated system) when all we want is you to sign another contract, blissfully ignorant that you could just buy a phone and data for half the overall cost.

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.
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.

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.

The current fad in documentaries, particularly Netflix, of typing out texts etc on screen complete with keyboard clicks and the send/receive “ping”…
It drives me nuts and I end up giving up on what would probably be an interesting documentary. I do suffer with misophonia, and it’s definitely one of my triggers, along with the sound my sister in law makes scraping every last drop of yogurt out of a pot….

Something that has really pissed me off today. When you call a customer service number and they have one of those "smart" systems that can "understand" full sentences (don't get me started on those!).
The thing that REALLY pissed me off however is when they play you a 2 or 3 second clip of someone "typing" to try to make you think it's taking a moment for the "AI" to "understand" you.
It doesn't use up much time, but why not just connect me to the internal extension/queue?
GRRRRR!

They would say that it's simply representative and harmless, but it's the sort of low level duplicity that permeates not only sales and marketing, but is seemingly bloody everywhere. It's normalising lying.Does anyone have an annoying colleague like this; we have a communal printer shared by about 6 people in an open plan office (pretty quiet most of the time) so you can't help but overhear other conversations etc, no drama. But when something is left on the printer and someone else goes to collect their things, and then shouts across the small office "Has anyone printed (insert project name) drawings?" Deathly silence, but you can guarantee it is always the same person when no answer is received, despite them sitting in the office with the rest of us, usually messing about on instagram on his phone, but unless you talk directly at him he doesn't listen at all. It's not because he is so focused on his work he doesn't take in background noise either, he's just an ignorant

A useful, learned skill. Useful for tuning out the inane babble of others.
