I was driving on the M50 yesterday. The car in front of me was driving quite erratically. Every 5 seconds or so, he had to make a sudden correction to avoid veering into the hard shoulder or to the middle lane. When I overtook him, I saw his head was looking down at his phone. This dangerous stupidity makes me furious. Easily could have killed someone with that behaviour, especially at that speed on a motorway. He wasn't even self aware enough to realise he shouldn't be using his phone when he had to keep making those sudden corrections.

The amount of ‘charity’ grifters advertising on tv… the latest one on BT Sport….African children, in Africa with cleft palates. Looking for your cash. I didn’t catch the name of the charity but EU and its member states and citizens, ie. US were the largest donors to Africa, contributing approximately €20 billion per year in development aid…. but now, in addition to that, around 100 million the EU taxpayers sent to Africa to support their covid rollout there are millions of euros of our money also being sent there to support general health services and infrastructure… but that’s not enough…. Individual campaign advertising everywhere… we are being asked to personally donate to fix cleft palates now…ffs

anything else ?

Watching videos (primarily) on the internet where the camera view repeatedly switches from a head-on view where the presenter is looking directly at the camera to a slightly side-on view - not completely 90 degrees side on - but more like 30-40 degrees, where the presenters eyes are looking off to the side - before switching back to the head-on view again. There is no need for this - I'm perfectly happy to watch the entire video in a head-on perspective, thanks very much!

My short term memory. I can remember details from years ago but what I went to the shop for ??

AxleAddict

On a similar vein to my previous TA, when watching videos on YouTube - typically product reviews - and the presenter has set up their camera with a really narrow focus so that they are nice and sharp (most of the time) but the background has that nice, soft, blurry bokeh effect - which is all fine until they want to show you something close up, or they inadvertently move their hands or something causing the camera to struggle to figure out what it should autofocus on. Then they hold something up really close to the camera in the foreground to try and get it to autofocus - initially it looks like the camera is trying to autofocus, but failing, and then just as it does manage to focus on the object the presenter gives up and pulls it away. Maddening! Please just set up the cameras with a wider focal range, or infinity focus - where everything is sharp, all of the time! Or use two different cameras - with different settings!

Drivers with absolutely no concept of how big their car actually is - or isn't, as the case usually is. Some people seem to think they're driving articulated trucks.

Yesterday I was heading to Dublin on the bus to see one of those ridiculous Scandinavian Icelandic bands play live. While I was waiting for the bus, there was the woman at the bus-stop who insisted on talking to me, and in that 10-15 minutes, I know more about her than people I've known for years. Deaths in the family, the various supermarkets she's boycotting, all about her husband and pets, etc.

Even when the bus arrived, she tried to get me to sit beside her, but I had to politely decline.

Aldi middle aisle shelves.

I'm small so reaching the top shelf just isn't going to happen as not only do I have to stretch up I also have to stretch across as they are tiered.

Then "normal" shelves the top shelf is usually double height stacked with the product, so while I can reach the item on the actual shelf I risk an "avalanche" from the products balanced on top of it.......this is true in nearly all the supermarkets though.

Somebody sets up a distribution list incorrectly and instead of emailing a certain team they email the entire company, thousands and thousands of staff around the world.

This happened last week and some boring email was sent around. The correct thing to do is ignore it and let the team fix the distribution list

What actually happened was thousands and thousands of people were spammed all day

”not for me”

”please remove me”

”our team doesn’t handle this”

Good god, many replying are Vice Presidents and earn far more than me

No cop on at all 🙄

I recently comment to x that I wish I was as oblivious as y a mutual acquaintance is, they gave me a lecture on how I could get into trouble and what I would miss out on in life 🙄

Atm, on Fridays I'm uncontactable in general and yesterday was no different, I asked sib to put the washing out as it was going to be a bright day and fingers crossed the worse of the wet would evaporate while it was out. Where I was had two monsoon like shower and I was fairly sure that it was the same there. It was and the washing was wetter than when it came out of the machine.

I casually asked when I arrived back, if they had those two showers and I was told "I didn't hear them anyway" now he's complaining that he has no warm clothes!

*They are too wet to go in the drier and he won't put the heat on. he seems oblivious to the cold and the extra misery having damp cloths is bringing to the house.

Yet again another self proclaimed expert on sld's in this case her niece has dyspraxia(which magically was minimised by a computer programme)

I mentioned that I found my time spent with A was stressful as A is prone to bouts of speaking loudly as soon as ppl are quite and getting into cycles of asking questions that have been answered months ago as well as being answered the first time she asked. This puts me on constant high alert bc my dyspraxia can be triggered by sudden loud noises especially when they are randomly repetitive.

The expert told me I was being discriminative and I cant blame that on my condition, I was so upset that I didn't think to say well my illegible handwriting is why I cant pass exams so how does that work if I cant blame things on my "condition"

TA'ed that I'm still annoyed about this when I know so much better.

I spend most of every day in one particular room in my house. The mobile signal is poor in that room because its shelved from floor to ceiling so I generally only have one bar signal strength. I also like keeping my phone in my jeans pocket so the Pacer app can track my steps as I move around the house or take a walk outside. It's a bad combination as the phone will frequently not ring if I am in the room and its in my pocket. I end up getting texts from frustrated family members "Sort out your phone. Can't get through" etc.

I can leave the phone in the hall where the signal strength is two or three bars but then I have to rush out to answer it and because its not on me, I am not getting steps credit. Carrying it in my hand as I move around is also a nuisance.

Murphy's Law dictates that I can leave it in the hall for hours on end and nobody will try to ring me. But as soon as I decide to put it my pocket, someone will make a call and it will go straight to voicemail and once again, I get berated.

The 'I am not a prude ' lot are out in force complaining about Kevin the Carrot in the Aldi ad. Like, can people not get a life and cill for 5 minutes? People are way too miserable altogether to be moaning about a parody ad on TV.

Someone close who does everything for everyone at the drop of a hat, even if it's costing her lots of money and serious amounts of time.

... And it's never reciprocated ... or just with token things like silly junk at Xmas time.

Makes me mad.

Paying a sky sports subscription and on a Saturday afternoon, three of their channels are showing WSL football, not different matches, the same match… Everton vs Manchester City.

there are about 250 people in attendance at what looks like a club training ground… so why the fûck do sky sports think there are hordes of people interested at home and why should us subscription payers be forced to have the same match on three channels….? Considering the cost of sky these days, one hell of a piss take.

Your first mistake is paying for a sky sports subscription, it's absolute robbery. It's far cheaper to use now tv

Not a whole lot of live men's football to show today.

Is it compulsory for the driver at the front of the queue for a filter light to pay absolutely no fcuking attention as to when said light turns green? And then sit there gormlessly for another few seconds when there’s a row of traffic beeping at them? Have missed two lights today as a result of people bring dopey ****s
