Stupid little things that bug you

That Money Supermarket advert when Dame Judy sends her team out to save money for seven people in seven places...

The 'team' race about but appear to do no more than leave a free ipad on a table in front of their new customer, and then bugger off.

Surely, the worst advert currently on TV, shows a mature lady (and not exactly a lightweight), at a concert, pissing into her Tena pads whilst perched on some poor bloke's shoulders.
I just hope, for his sake, the product works.
 
At my local Lidl store today, waiting at the checkout. The woman, three ahead paid by credit card, took about 3 minutes to open her bag, then open her purse and the same to put it all back. Next, a woman who paid by pointing her 'phone at the machine, also took her about three minutes of jabbing the keyboard. Then, at first, I thought some bloke was trying to punch the car reader, he was actually using his watch! Must have taken five minutes before it worked. I paid with cash out of my pocket - about 20 seconds.
 
Superfluous commas before the word "too" when "too" is the last word used in a sentence.
 
Just got some diesel and I can never get it to stop at £10 it always goes 1p over. What stupid thing bugs you?
I’ve found a petrol station in Eccles where you pay before you put the fuel in which eliminates that problem! The fuel is competitively priced so I go there now and it stops me fretting about going over the round figure.
Like you I always went over by 1p or so then ended up going for 10p and still went over so this saves my annoyance. :-)

Saw that.
I hate it when rich famous actors advertise shit, they don't need the money. We've got Mark Wahlberg persuading people to gamble here.
Annoying.

If you're going to SAVE circa £300 on your car insurance, it's quite possible that you're the type of person that doesn't need money saving tips anyway, as you are probably the owner of a Lambo, Bentley or Aston Martin. (There again you could be living in a large motor home).
 
When did double parking on the street become legal? Don't people look for a space round the corner anymore or is it now perfectly OK to stick the hazards on and leave the car blocking traffic?
I worked on Wilmslow Road / Curry Mile, Rusholme in the 1970s. It was quite common to see traffic brought to a standstill in both directions during the daytime by delivery vans and parked cars.

The last time I drove down there, about three years ago, it added half an hour to what used to be a 15 minute trip. Never again. Stockport Road in Levenshulme and Longsight is just as bad now.

Many of the 'main routes' into Manchester from the south of the city were developed in the days of the horse and cart, and have been hopelessly inadequate for the weight of traffic for 40+ years.

The answer is to make them 'red routes' as in London, and mercilessly enforce the restrictions. People would moan though as they might have to walk ten yards.
 
I installed a ring doorbell which I've had for over a year. Genuine question, why do some drivers not use it and faintly knock on instead? The doorbell isn't exactly hard to miss either. I know they do a high pressured job and don't think they're that oblivious. Are they scared of waking people up by pressing it or something?

They don't even knock here. They just lob it and leg it.
