Stupid little things that bug you

Places where you order food at the bar or on an app. When you get to the payment screen they ask if you want to add a tip/service payment of 10% 15% etc.
What service, the waiting staff don't do anything expect bring you cutlery and your food.

Was in a pub in town last week. I stood at the bar and asked for bottle of beer. The guy turned opened the fridge retrieved the bottle then removed the cap with a bottle opener and place it in front of me. Then on top of the extortionate price the machine asked me if I wanted to add a tip.

Ha, that’s been bugging me on the scoreboard. “A/S” fits much better than “Tied” on the screen, or just don’t put anything.

And also, when they cut to a new match and highlight the game/score bottom right of the screen, but show the name of the player and what the shot means (2nd shot/to win or tie etc) top left. Just show it in one place.

The worst thing this weekend was the delay in displaying the significance of the shot. What dickhead decided that it would be a good idea to wait until the ball's halfway to the cup to show it? Definitely diminished the viewing experience. Also sometimes the match involved was highlighted in yellow, sometimes it wasn't.

And I hate that zooming in to the ball when it approaches the hole, slightly changing the angle all the time so that you can't anticipate whether it's in or not.

Similar to when - strangely, only every now and again - darts coverage changes from the usual split screen to showing the thrower full-screen, only jumping to the board precisely as the dart hits home. What on earth does that add to anything?

You can always tell when a director has zero experience of watching a particular sport.

or ill give a 110% , no you fucking wont because 100% is the max you can give and if you dont know thats basic maths should you really be running a business
 
Fireworks, with many weeks to go until the shit that is bonfire night, they’ve started around this time of day. Saturday and Sunday and just now.

And yes, I am a miserable old(ish) twat who likely did the same in my teen years, but so what?! ;-).
 
I was in an ice cream shop today, went to the counter to ask for a tub and one scoop and he pointed to one of those screens at the back of the shop and said I had to order that way!! I said no I didn’t and walked out. I refuse to use them. ‘Spoons tried to do the same when I wanted a breakfast. Fortunately for them when I went to the bar he took my order without any quibble. Apps and screens to order your food can just f..k off. I will always go elsewhere.

This seems to happen frequently now especially with 0 alcohol beer. I ask them to pour it for me!
Pathetic service otherwise.
 
Another one from me:-

Four wheeled luggage; what a pain in the arris. OK when it is nice and smooth/flat but when it gets a bit rough they either stop or go all over the place and you drag it like any other suitcase.
 
Facebook. Choose to hide loads of shit as either it's irrelevant or pro-rag/dipper/arse if it's football related. And the shit that replaces it is even worse!!
And companies that want you to do stuff online while in the shop but they don't have WiFi and are in an area with bugger all 4G/5G coverage.
