Stupid little things that bug you

So ( dont you hate people who start a sentence with ' So ' ) 6 months ago I became the proud owner of a Mini Cooper S, a nippy little thing, bought as a replacement for an ageing Merc. It turned out to a totally unnecessarily complicated little annoyance. A leak in the boot, BMW/Mini must know about it as they put a grommit in there. Multi coloured Interior lights shine everywhere, all the time. It tells me, in a long drawn out text on the speedo, when it wants air in the tyres and will not agree that I've done it unless I take it for a drive and do stuff with it. It stops and starts under it's own freewill at some, not all, traffic lights. Apparantly I can alter it somehow but I'm not tech savvy and dont know a qualified 12 year old ....and now, since it's been designed by BMW, it has those windows that drop down half an inch when you go to open the door thus allowing the door to open. Except it wont if the windows are frozen up.....but that's OK because it has heated seats.

Techies design in features because they can, nothing to do with what the customer needs. This phenomenon is all over the place now.
 
Audiences at tv ""talent shows" who stand and scream hysterically as soon as a singer (almost) hits a high note or carries a note for more than 5 seconds.
Especially if there's a sob story to go with the performance.
 
I had a jar of mince meat since xmas and decided to make some pastry to make some mince pies today. I'm bored. Fucking hell...have you seen the amount of butter needed? And butter ain't cheap. I'm guessing it's more expensive to make your own mince pies than it is to buy Mr Kiplings. Even the butter alone is more expensive than two boxes.
 
People who put their luggage or shopping on the seat next to them when the bus or train is full and tut or moan if you ask them to move it.
On our local bus I use the seat reserved for those with mobility problems and it is amazing how much shopping I take second place to. The other day when I was standing the bus driver stopped and gave the passengers a right mouthful about making ‘a disabled old gentleman’ stand. Well done, mate, although I’m not quite sure who the ‘gentleman’ was!

The mince pies you buy are not made with butter.
 
Drove past Aldi at 9:45 this morning went in and picked up the few bits I needed , couldn’t even use the self scan tills till 10 o’clock , the point of that is …?
