Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

You need to get there before they shut for the day, Slacker. Try setting your alarm for midday then try to operate the Snooze function. :thup:

The opposite for me, went to a classroom today that I was working on , door locked, lights off
so trudged off to see the Military instructors to get the key, was told key was already out, I was a bit pissed off at their lack of concern
So with the hump I buggered of to the mess for egg bacon and a cup of splosh
so back to the wing to realise that I has originally tried to get in the wrong classroom
what a ****er

Going to get a bacon roll in the staff canteen, & getting stuck behind someone with an order for half a wing of the office. 5 rolls 4 rounds of toast, & 10 poncy coffees later, I'm bloody starving, & the queue is halfway out the door! Why cant people get off their arses & get their own breakfast? It would be quicker to walk to bloody McDonalds 5 miles away! :x

The whole collective drinks order thing in offices irritates me. Like when I walk into a meeting with a cup of coffee and someone remarks "made yourself a cup of selfish", like the only way they can get a cup of coffee is if some other **** makes it for them.

That's the only radio advert I can tolerate, for some reason.

I cannot stand the stupid Sing Flowers one, it actually makes me angry.

When there's a raffle and they sell strips but pull out strips as well. What's the point? Might as well just sell individual tickets and not burn through the book so quick.

Doctors.
You are plodding along merrily when they call you in for an MOT and before you know it you are overweight with high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Now I have to diet, stop eating the good stuff and take pills.

Sometimes it's better not to know...

Sadly not HD, about 6 weeks after I was informed I had high blood pressure and was prescribed a low dose of drugs as a trial to see what happened, I had an MI.
Now I take 5 drugs every day and will do for the rest of my life.

Had I known earlier, it may have been prevented.

I still get to eat the good stuff too, just in a little moderation :wink:

Yeah, I know....just so depressing!
Not even 50 yet (another 7 weeks to go) and it's all going wrong.
I'm on 2 a day so far, I fully expect more to be coming my way.

Amazon

First they gave both Mrs SBH and me separately free trial runs of Amazon Prime without explicitly asking us; it may have been buried in the small print of a transaction, but I certainly never ticked a box saying "yes, please sign me up for a free trial of Amazon Prime". No bad thing in itself, but they didn't even tell us our free trial periods were starting, and it was only by chance that either of us saw the emails saying "your free trial period ends soon and unless you go through a tortuous cancellation process we are going to start charging you £8 a month from then".

Then they did exactly the same with some cloud storage system they have called Amazon Drive. In this case, I worked out that it must have been set up when we bought our kids a Kindle Fire tablet, but again without us being explicitly asked if we wanted it. I can see the benefits of Prime, even if I don't want to pay for it, but cloud storage for a bunch of photos taken by my kids of the wall, floor and each other posing like divas? No thanks. This time they wanted to charge me £55 for a year's worth of storage. £55! f*** off, Amazon.

I was under the impression that if you had Prime, then you had unlimited storage in the cloud??
