    People who leave the fridge door open WAY too long.

    DO decide what you want/need from the fridge, open the door, get the item(s) and close the door.

    DO NOT open the door, stare blankly and contemplate life's deepest mysteries while the cold air spills out all over the kitchen floor. FFS like.

    My other half doesn't know when to tell people to not ring her. I've tried my best to explain this to her but she doesn't listen. She's too nice. She also doesn't know when to say "right I'm gonna head off"

    I'll explain.

    Every night we always sit down to watch a movie. For the past 2 weeks, every night in a row, her mother has been ringing her at the same time ( half 9 at night ) which has always been our time for years. She ends up talking to her for about an hour and by the time we get back to to watching the film, we're too tired to finish it, and end up watching the rest of it the following night, only to be interrupted again by another phone call, which ends up making the next film last even longer, so on and so forth.

    During this phone call, I have to go off and find something to do while I wait for her to come off the phone. I've tried telling her "why can't you ask her to ring you at an earlier time?" and she doesn't listen. I don't know the nicest version of "can ya just tell her to **** off?" :pac:

    I'd understand if it was a really important, serious subject. But I've heard her, it's drivel and gossip.

    And if she's not on the phone to her, she's on her facebook messenger app on her phone throughout the whole movie. It's really frustrating. I sometimes feel I'm better off just having the nights to myself. I've tried that before, except she calls me down to watch something way too late a time - like half 10-11pm. I'm comatosed by the time the film gets through the half-way mark

    TA'd at Amazon product questions whereby someone invariably answers "sorry, I don't own this product so can't answer your question". WTF like.

    Flytipping incidents are up.
    I do not want your disgusting, stained mattress in my road's hedgerow thank you very much.

    Since being home I've been on youtube trying to learn a few things and there are some really annoying types on there who would test your patience:

    -When I need to find out how to do something on youtube and the person who is talking on the video on how to do it goes on for 10 minutes about "my experience". JUST SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT I DO NOT CARE FOR A STORY OF HOW AND WHY YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT AND A LOOONG DRAWN OUT STORY. Literally just get to the point. Do they not understand people are just there to learn how to do a thing and that's it....it's like the big blog posts before finally getting to a recipe. Just shut up please, no one cares.

    -People using nomenclature/jargon to explain something to a complete beginner to a topic. Yes, we know you are an expert, but I'm not so put yourself in my shoes and assume I know absolutely nothing before blasting me with technical terms, I'm not your colleague, I am the viewer who clicked on the video that had "FOR TOTAL BEGINNER" in the title.

    Don't be so dramatic. It's probably just a brain haemorrhage.

    I was watching the the grandfinal of Mastermind earlier (it was shown on Monday) but some of the questions are so long for a quiz that is time-based. (This has annoyed me for years!) Especially annoying is when the contestant interrupts with the correct answer but John Humphreys persists in reading the rest of the question.

    There was an Irishman in the final, and his specialist subject was the films of Kevin Smith. Half the questions were elaborate set-ups to the main question, wasting precious time for the contestant.

    Apart from that, John Humphreys is a bit useless, mispronouncing stuff and changing the way he finishes up. What he does sometimes is (and what he should do) wait for the final contestant to get back to their seat before announcing the scores, but sometimes he starts before they get up or as they're walking back. Yeah, it's trivial but that's what this thread is all about! :P

    Can openers that don’t work.
    They sit there all year in a drawer doing nothing and taking up space and when you take them out on a job they fcukin fail.

    I am desperately looking for a job and have been applying for loads that say no experience nessecary. I will clean ovens while they're still on, I will be a buffer on a wrecking ball so as not to emotionally upset buildings being demolished, I will be an 18th century chimney sweep. Invariably I am getting replies saying sorry, you don't have the right experience, so why the **** are you saying no experience necessary??

    The cynic in me says that these companies will be saying that they couldn't find the right people for the job so will need to fly in people from elsewhere on this fine planet who will be happy to accept the crappiest conditions known to man. I'll do it but you won't even fecking talk to me!!!
