Stupid little things that bug you

It may have already been mentioned but modern day footballers who put holes in the back of their sock things. What is the point of that silly fad? Is it the same as one leg of their shorts being lifted higher than the other at corners? My word, I’m getting old;-(
 
Championship Manager 01/02! I'm top of the old 1st division about to get promoted but I'm also in the semi of the league cup. I've got Arsenal at home, and no matter what I do, they always win, must've had 30 goes at this now :( it's like some recurring deterministic nightmare.
Fucking Henry always scores! or Parlour, or Pires. I go defensive, i lose. I go attacking, i lose. Weaver is always shit, I've tried Nash, but no joy Wanchope cant score, Haaland Sr always gets booked if not sent off, Benarbia is low on % Goaters injured, sold Berkovic (to Liverpool for 4 mil, quite pleased with that)
I've even tried Dickov
On game 11 or 12 I thought my luck was in, one freak game, I was 1 - 0 down, yet before half time Upson, then Ljungberg both got sent off, Freddie headbutted Andy Morrison, it was 11 v 9, ended up losing 4-0. :/

I heard that it makes the socks feel a bit looser or stretchier, walker was the first I saw do it
 
Last month I have a tinnitus, which makes me worried about my future and self, this ringing brought me anxiety. Later then I ask God to help me out, I read Bible and the driven life purpose book that helped me a lot to connect with God finding my true purpose. After days and weeks that has passed I learned to don't be bothered by this ringings and live my life according to God's purpose....And yesterday a miracle happened, God granted my prayers He allowed my tinnitus to heal, like I can't explain how it happened, like just suddenly. I will be visiting audiologist Staten Island soon and discussing with them the miracle.

or pulling socks over their knees! Players raising an arm before taking a corner as if it's a secret signal and usually ends up anywhere! Players making the sign of the cross, touching the grass, holding two fingers whilst looking skyward as they come out on the pitch as if they're Latin Americans, And the most boring, unoriginal goal celebrations of all time , knee sliding.

Oddly enough normskih, there’s a genuine reason and I know the answer as I have similar problems, it’s down to circulation and compression issues some people have with their calf muscles when exercising etc.

That’s not to say some don’t actually do it because ‘it looks cool’ though :-D.

Fucking shocking driving. Made a short journey today - about six miles - and saw six examples of people who ought to have their licences rescinded. It seems to be getting worse.

It has been for the last 20 years or so. No wonder as I’ve got older I’m less confident in my driving, especially at night.
In work, were having a conversation as a woman‘s daughter is currently having driving lessons and it seems you no longer have to have both hands on the wheel at all times so long as you are in control of the car. I couldn’t believe it, unless changing gear why would you not hold onto the steering wheel?

Smoking, texting, putting lippy on, first can of the day......
Lots of reasons when you think about it.

The sign that road works companies put up. The ones that are about a metre square, have about 500 words on them a start date you cant see and are impossible to read. I normally manage about 6 words before I have driven passed it

Approaching a village just a few days ago there was a "Road Ahead Closed" sign. It was a rural location and the diversion was a 15 mile detour along narrow country lanes. Slow and muddy. On the return, I came across the same sign, driving a lot slower, I could now see an additional sign..."During the hours of 8pm-6am".

Try negotiating the signs in Wales. Most are in Welsh and English with Welsh invariably first so before you get to the English bit you've already driven past the sign.
 
Paying for stuff at Argos.
Bought something online using Paypal and had to take it back for a refund. They credited my Paypal account but I couldn't buy the replacement item in store using Paypal (as it's for online purchases only) and the WiFi was crap so couldn't use Paypal on my phone.

Try leaving the store and use the data on your phone. It's often the building weakening your signal or blocking it entirely

Supermarkets with metal roofing are exceptionally bad for this.
