Stupid little things that bug you

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

All the silly crap on websites, phone menus, corporate emails.

"Ooopsie daisy, that didn''t work! Silly computer! Let's try again shall we?"

"Yo, like dude, your super-great value bill is here! Check out your savings!"

"Great! Thanks for calling! (and going through identity checks, and navigating the fifteen menus to get this far) You have chosen bills and payments. (still in an irritating gushing tone). Thanks for that! If you want to pay your bill, press one. (No) If you want to change your bank details, press two (No) (the gushing tone is just off the scale by now) If you didn't recieve your bill, or if you still have questions about your bill, press four" (YES) "Great! I've sent a copy of your bill to you by SMS. Thanks for calling, and have a great day!" and the system hangs up.

Some one once told me that there is a code you can enter that bypasses the menu. Probably on the web somewhere.
Annoys me when you have to cancel (or accept) all this cookie stuff before you can proceed.

My 'phone contract is with GiffGaff. They call the calls and web deal a "Your Goody Bag"

Thread banning, without any warning or reason as to why and all because u agree with an x player / manager. Yet the absolute muppets who are constantly week after week in the match day threads slagging our players, manager, directors off receive f@@k all.

Getting worse this forum.

Flashing Xmas lights. Especially those ice white ones that create artificial daylight for 50yds and turn on/off 10 times a second.

I had one this morning.
One of those people who say "I can't travel backwards", on the train.
It always seems to be women who are afflicted with this aversion. Does anyone know why?

Motion sickness. Nothing particularly weird about it. If your eyes and inner ear are out of sync then you can dizzy and become sick.

Obviously it's not as pronounced on the train as on other forms of transport but does anyone prefer travelling in the opposite direction they are facing?

Companies using CGI to have dead people hawking their products. How fucking dare they? The one that's doing my head in at the moment is Albert Einstein flogging energy.

Getting a speeding ticket can be quite frustrating but getting a ticket for not having a vignette is even worth. For our next European trip i will order all of them in advance here https://vignette.express/, but this time i just wasn't aware that i need one. That was an expensive lesson to learn.
