Motorway service toilets.
Always furthest away from the bloody doors, usually the far side of the food hall, past the shops, rarely can a straight line be walked to get to them. Almost pissing myself by the time I eventually get there.

I hate when you take your car for repairs, and the mechanic moves the seat backwards but doesn't tell you or put it back where it was.
So you drive off, and when you go to shift up, you can't fully depress the clutch pedal. Really grinds my gears!
What bugs me is when you get a car MOTed, and they do up the rear seatbelts.So you drive off, and when you go to shift up, you can't fully depress the clutch pedal. Really grinds my gears!

Situation was all the more annoying as it was the garage that my mate worked in.
Radio X advertising. For every 5 or 6 adverts, at least 3 are for William Hill betting and the others are almost always another betting company. I’ve no problems with adverts (well, a little with betting adverts) and will happily tune them out in exchange for the decent stuff Radio X plays, but the same ad 3 times in 2 minutes every 1/2 hour is fking infuriating.

Opposite issue here being 6"6 when the seat is pulled forward so I can't get in the drivers seat and end up in a compromised position trying to move the seat back. So you drive off, and when you go to shift up, you can't fully depress the clutch pedal. Really grinds my gears!

Couldn't agree more. Johnny Vaughan's show is brilliant, but I simply cannot listen to it.king infuriating. Also not helped by the fact that they play the same songs over and over again.

The male propensity to collect stuff. Even when you know there's no good reason to.
My name is V8mate and I'm a musiccollectaholic.
I collect music (albums - digitally). Probably an average of 50 gigabytes a week. 3 terabytes of my NAS are taken with music and I've got more than another terabyte waiting to join it (but no space). Which means... we're gonna need a bigger boat.
The thing is, I don't have much free time to listen to music. And when I do, I automatically reach for the radio. Or YouTube.
So I tell myself that this collection will be for when I'm retired and have lots more time on my hands.
But will I sit and listen to thousands and thousands of albums when I'm retired? Chances are, because it's simply arranged in alphabetical order by artist, that some great music by artists who 'never hit the big time', will go unlistened to, for all eternity.
But the immediate issue is that I now urgently need a new NAS. Probably looking at the thick end of a grand for a decent upgrade in storage. But, for what? To accommodate a collection of stuff I'll likely never use.
But I can't stop collecting. Because I'm a bloke and I this is my collectaholism.

Generally radio DJ's wittering on, having chats with listeners about how they're driving to see aunty Mable, and the adverts annoy me beyond reason, but I have found a cure! I now listen to NPO Radio 2 or QMusic, both Dutch stations and my Dutch isn't good enough to understand what they're talking about. Far less annoying

IT. On the whole, it’s just a massive bag of dicks that has the potential (and desire, apparently) to ruin people’s day/week/life for absolutely no reason other than it feels like it.
Additionally, the fact that our working lives have all become so reliant on something that can be completely wiped out by a YTS boy pressing the wrong button. Or a cleaner unplugging something to put the hoover round. Or slightly warm weather making some metal a bit too hot.
Let’s just fk it all off and go back to paper, at least when you lose that is your own bloody fault.
Don’t try telling me it works, you’re wrong. It doesn’t.

Maybe try listening to what IT are telling you and doing as your instructed.

It's not IT that is the problem it's the users who think they know better that screw everything up, usually not just for themselves.
If you're not smart enough to follow basic instructions then perhaps it's time for you to become a bin man instead.
And yes you're wrong... And you know you're wrong and pretending otherwise is only deluding yourself.
