Stupid little things that bug you

Going to press something on your phone screen. The screen moves at the last second making you press on something else. Usually an advert.

Anyone who, when talking, puts too much emphasis on the "H" when it's the second letter in a word.

While becomes hwile for example. And for those into Family Guy, expertly demonstrated by Stewie:

Similarly, pronouncing the "T" in often (correct British pronunciation is "O'fen".
Same rule as soften or listen.

The other day, not for the first time, I put my teabag into the milk jug.

You have a milk jug??? How posh are you. My milk is poured straight from the plastic milk bottle into my cup.

That still applies to me on my PC.

I’ve opened the fridge door to put the kettle in. Instead of putting the milk back into the fridge.

Saves walking to the fridge which is in the utility room as our kitchen is very small. The alternative would be to put the fridge in the library, but the west wing is a long way away.

Your passwords don’t match. Don’t know why but really makes me unreasonably angry

AI voice-overs on videos and what takes it over the edge is AI generated still images in the same videos.

Instant turn off.

Buying a pint that isn't quite there, but is it short enough to warrant a trip with your glass back to the bar.

Do I, Don't I?

It's a dilemma.

I remember the days of a pump that moved from side to side with half a pint in glass attached to it....never a short measure at that time.

I remember drinking just over half a pint out of a pint glass and getting the landlord to top it up with a 'half'......

Take it back with a bold… “you’ve just charged me £15 for this gnats piss, the least you could do is give me a full pint!!!”

I had a drinking mate who put this question to the barman whenever he ordered a pint.
"Hey, is there room for a tot of whisky in there?"
"Sure, no problem"
"Then forget the whisky and fill it with beer".

This is a football related but why are free kicks and throw ins just allowed to be taken from wherever the player bloody well feels like it and not where the offence actually took place

AI in general. I don't see it enhancing life as much as it will detract. We don't seem to have learned our lessons from mobile phones which track us and have us enslaved. Images, videos, quotes - we don't know what's real and what's fake already and I can only see it getting worse. Then you have the weirdos on here posting AI videos of fake women looking all sexy. I honestly don't get the point of it.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Twats who are there to help you but dont.....trying to insure a 45 year old restored moped for me ( 64 )
