Small things that annoy you (3) - Page 11

People who are self-centred. Not necessarily selfish though - as in, they are generous, but they seem to focus very much on things that impact on them (less so on the consequences for others) and are hence self-centred.

There's this thing called Ethernet. You plug a cable into a socket and everything just works.

trying to back up my messages and i had to factory reset my phone so annoying

Facking touchscreens making me sent messages I don't want to. Sent 2 rubbish messages to the same person already today. They're probably thinking "piss off!" Doesn't help that my only real friend is top of my contact list so I'm constantly sending shit to her.

newbs16 · #**305** 14th October 2013, 15:15

I put a contact in my phone called A and add 0 as the contact number this stops me calling/texting the person at the top of the list :-P

Touchscreens vary, so do messaging layouts. But I don't like mobile fbs interface, thats where I make typo errors which luckily can be edited.

Just if I wanted to do that I'd have to get quite a long wire.

Haha, that used to happen all the time with my old touchscreen phone. Half finished texts sent and texts sent to the wrong person. Gave up with the retched thing in the end and bought a normal keypad phone.

It never happens on this forum, but I hate it when people post in a color that is hard to see. I don't mind if people want to post in a certain color or font, but it should at least be easy to read. I've seen it on other forums.

Maybe the people like being secretive

Well, how do you like my Comic Sans? Everyone loves Comic Sans.

AnathemA · #**314** 14th October 2013, 20:16

On my planet, Comic Sans is punishable by death.

MLP James · #**315** 14th October 2013, 20:21

What about colourful Comic Sans?

AnathemA · #**316** 14th October 2013, 20:25

First you get force-fed your own arms, then death.

MLP James · #**317** 15th October 2013, 06:30

Comic Sans has it's up sides, apparently it's easier for people who have trouble reading due to learning difficulties and such.

Medea · #**318** 15th October 2013, 06:46

I'm annoyed that:

1. It's still over 2hrs until the shop I want to go to is open

and

2. I can't drive.

^ Agreed, I hate the rain. If humans had natural predators then spectacle wearers would be easy prey on rainy days.

MLP James · #**322** 16th October 2013, 21:23

^ I don't like a lot, but I certainly don't hate it. I think it's just the misuse of it that people hate and not the font itself.

Generation Erm · #**323** 17th October 2013, 01:11

councils that don't maintain their swings. on my night walks I often sit down on the way back for a breather. they still haven't fixed the squeaking. this has been an ongoing problem for months. all it needs is lube or something. also bird poo on the seats. there are only 2 of them so you don't have much choice. when it rains it turns into like a pate. its gross. luckily I had a tissue on me this time. I always turn the seats upside down before I leave so then it doesn't matter if birds poo on them. i wish people would show a little consideration for other users. i'm now thinking of putting up a laminated sign to see if it makes any difference.

Medea · #**324** 17th October 2013, 13:05

Wickes. I went in there today, not something I usually do as it has that "MAN DOING DIY" air to it. We needed a new toilet seat. Helpfully they had 10, all numbered 1 to 10. No other descriptions on them. Thinking that these numbers would be matched on the boxes or display I looked in vain for them, but instead had to take a guess at which might belong to the numbered display. What's the point, Wickes, in having these numbers?!

Joke's on you, I don't even have Comic Sans installed. I just see Droid Serif instead

I don't know why it's so hated.

It's inappropriately jocular for most situations - I've seen it used on notices and even assessment papers!

How can they expect to be taken seriously!?

pinkwafer · #**327** 18th October 2013, 16:25

Maybe said before.

Leg shaking.
Pen tapping.

People.

People who you work with you don't like asking questions about your life.

Sitting on a public toilet only to discover some other woman has urinated all over the seat.

People who complain all the time they're tired.

People who have been very spoilt and fortunate but still moan and make stupid statements about how easy X, Y and Z is yet they got given things never having to actually pay for them themselves.

Etc, etc.

But why wouldn't you just look first? Why would you just assume cleanliness in a public toilet and not look first? It's gross to me the idea of not looking. I don't understand how this can happen to someone though, i mean, you have to look first to see where the toilet is and at that point you see the state on it; unless, of course, you just back in to the cubicle arse first and hope to land on a dry spot. In which case, you can't complain when you get other people's piss all over your backside.

The hyperbolic nature of Internet shorthand. Next time I see someone use 'lmao' I'm going to demand that they send photographic proof that they laughed so hard that their buttocks became detached from the rest of their body. I doubt that anyone genuinely laughs out loud either.
