When people continue to refer to climate change as 'global warming ', particularly when used sarcastically in relation to cold weather.

Van drivers. I've been behind so many today - all of which have had a zero percent success rate when indicating.

People that panic and immediately stop when they are in front of an emergency vehicle.

Also, people that think that when they are in front of an emergency vehicle they can speed up, break the limit and go around some traffic but inevitably end up causing a more complex blockage further along.

A few months ago my eldest ended up in the middle of a three car sandwich when the car in front did that and the car behind didn't stop in time (no injuries but car written off) :(

Brave little soldiers who come to the office with a stinking cold.

If you're well enough to work, you have everything you need to WFH. Do that.

If you're not well enough to work, take a sickie.

Apps on my tablet that automatically reinstall themselves in the internal memory rather than on the SD card where I'd set them up from. That's rude.

See also apps that won't let me run them from the SD card - mostly that's just lazy coding!

When people on the group chat say "Does anyone want to run tomorrow?"
Then make the plans privately instead of on the chat.

EE sending me reminders about the "Amazing Deals" and to upgrade my plan... to something that's much more expensive than I am already on.

When I want my Garmin sync with Garmin Connect through my phone it won't. They won't even acknowledge the existence of each other.
But if I try my Bluetooth earbuds in to see how much charge they have, my Garmin syncs, even without Garmin Connect.

Got something to say?
