    Some wanker turning at speed in a large SUV into a housing estate on a mobile phone.

    Luckily there are no kids around. As they are all addicted to screens inside or are on holidays somewhere else or being driven from a to b because it's too dangerous out there. 🙄

    Wikipedia have the same. It would be trivially annoying to figure out what quirky rule they are following... so I wont go there!

    People working on, unpaid overtime, in their job when they don't have to.

    Working at your desk at lunch.

    Never understood any of that. Glad I'm out of that scene.

    On a somewhat similar note those office "warriors" who never take a sick day and insist on coming in even though they're snotting all over the place and have the option to work from home

    Usually for English, there's one word for that.

    Me talking to customer: "I'll ring you when your item arrives, so you can collect"

    *Next day customer arrives in store

    Customer: "hi there, I ordered X"

    Me: "no problem, I'll go grab it for you"

    *Searching everywhere for customers item but it is nowhere to be seen… starting to panic… did I forget to order… anxiety setting in

    Me apologising profusely: "I'm really sorry but there must have been some sort of mix up, your item hasn't arrived yet"

    Me: "When exactly did I call you to say that the item had arrived? I just want to check the computer here so we can sort things out"

    Customer: "oh no, you didn't didn't call me, I was just passing by so I decided to pop in"

    I go through this same scenario every week, if I didn't ring you, it hasn't f**king arrived yet. Often I have other customers waiting in queue too, so it not only wastes my time but the other customers too. So annoying.

    TA people that don't bother ringing you when your item arrives.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I gather up all those plastic bottles and cans, keeping them intact, annoyingly taking up so much room, head off to shop and use the machine, if it's working and get my receipt. Do the shopping.

    Without fail, everytime, I forget to use the bloody thing!

    Those receipts expire if they are not used. I think there's a 45 day limit. Found that one out recently because I kept forgetting to use one.

    I went to my local Aldi yesterday with a small bag of bottles and cans. The one machine was out of order. It was chucking it down so I didn't bother taking the bag back to the car so I had to lug it around the shop.

    Then as I was leaving, the machine was working....but there was a couple with a gigantic bag ahead of me feeding it, so my bottles and cans came home with me. Such a silly scheme.

    They don't expire. There's no basis for a shop to say that, and if they do, they are in the wrong. Happy to discuss more on the thread for that scheme!

    They are printed on thermal paper, which is known to fade, so still not wise to leave for too long as if the barcode fades that'd be a TA too.

    Took my workspaces apart all week looking for a 4-page doc, each day I took it apart knowing how easy it is to overlook something I'm looking for.

    Gave up and paid to reprint and recopy the doc(money I didn't want to have to pay esp as copies are expensive at the closest copy shop)

    Rummaging to find another doc (which cost me €50 originally) and found the first doc! Ta'ed I lost two different types of docs and I will be lucky if I can find the original 50€ doc. Honestly, I'm organised and ta'ed I have to pay for things that relocate themselves without my knowledge.!

    Click bait house articles where someone has an amazing house and they love it and it brings them so much happiness blah blah

    And then you realise it's just a glorified ad - they are selling the ******* house.

    Add to that list, those who park outside the front door of their local Lidl, Aldi, Supervalu etc, waiting on family members despite there being loads of spaces in the car park.

    Too much time spent looking at bright screens interferes with melatonin production which helps regulate sleep

    (Edit> I should have said too much time before bedtime)

    https://www.sleepfoundation.org/bedroom-environment/blue-light

    Blue light suppresses the body’s release of melatonin

    Common sources of blue light include:

    Fluorescent lights

    LED lights

    Smartphones

    Televisions

    Computer screens

    Tablets

    E-readers

    Video game consoles
