Stupid little things that bug you

[Eccles Blue]

Language!

Apologies, they should walk into some water..... ;-)

A 14 hour flight from Qatar to Australia...... seats in a fixed position.

You've not done long haul have you.

Indeed I have!

Behind someone who decided I wanted the back of their seat resting against my nose whilst they had a comfy sleep.

People at the Etihad who stick their feet under the back of your seat so when you stand up it doesn’t fold up and catches the back of your legs. Then, if that’s not enough, they somehow stop the seat being folded back down so you can sit back down.

Even worse when they don’t seem to get the message and do it all game.

Seats at football matches.

A new experience for me and I'm finding it spooky and intrusive:
An email from people/suppliers etc saying We've noticed you are not reading our emails and asking for a reason.

Go jump in the lake, I will read them if I want to and sometimes I won't want to.

However surely that is an invasion of privacy if they are checking that I am reading or not reading their emails?

Many email systems have read receipt options. My best suggestion is to reply "I didn't ask for your email so I didn't read it". Other options involve foul and abusive language which is not what I would expect from your good self.

I could never imagine Eccles swearing.

I just block email sender's if they annoy me.

People creeping forward whilst the lights are on red

They are stupid because that's just an invitation to race you is it not? Far better to do absolutely nothing and stamp on the accelerator if you want to win the Traffic Light Grand Prix - especially when you're driving an EV with instantaneous power! ;-)

No option but to put yours back then. Thankfully on short haul flights up to four hours the seats don't go back
