little things that annoy the shit out of you

[YorkshireRed]

People using FaceTime in restaurants.
 

I wouldn’t be happy with quick ‘check in’ calls but I’m willing to tolerate them.

 

Twenty minute conversations, seemingly about nothing, and carried out very loudly can get to fuck though. These clowns always seem to be on the next table to me as well. 
 

The food better be good to make up for it. It won’t be though due to the world being shit.

All phone calls to be honest. Unless you are in different continents or making an appointment, just fucking text instead. In fact even the appointments could be text based.

If I was Prime Minister, first thing I would do is ban all phone calls. The most obnoxious & invasive form of communication there is.

 

'Hi, I do not give a flying fuck what you're doing or how busy you are, you now have to listen to my shite.'

Worst are the people who will quite happily walk along the street having a full on phone convo with someone.

Been going around Scotland and Ireland for 10 days and wonder when it became acceptable for hotels to expect you to iron on a set up the size of a skateboard.

[Mudface]

Hearing that a respected forum member has been reduced to bumming round our colonies and is still expected to iron his own stuff.

 

It's not often that I complain about things, but this has cut me really deeply. THEY MADE HIM IRON ON A SKATEBOARD. Where's the respect? Why isn't a bird doing it and shutting the fuck up?

Do you know what the drugs are called? I think the only thing I ever got offered was Buscopan/ Propranolol, although mine was more mental in nature once I'd cut out foods that I knew were triggers.

The gold standard drugs for men are named Ramosetron,which are widely available in places like Japan,India,Singapore and other Eastern countries. The gold standard for women are Alosetron which are available (at high cost) in the USA and somewhere in Australia too. They are used by both genders but have only 'officially' been tested on Men and Women respectively. They were both derived from a drug tested here in the UK named Cilansetron,which was hugely successful,but there was a death due to a doctor putting a patient with IBS Constipation predominant on this trial which is for us patients with the Diarrhoea predominant type. A professor who was part of these trials and is a consultant of mine was fuming as he said this drug could have been a major breakthrough for UK sufferers.

Over the top password requirements. I have just had to log in to an on line training portal as part of my professional qualification. They want a 12 character password but it must contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and keyboard characters. I am not a mathematician but i think the maths is 

 

2 (upper and lower case) x 26 (letters) to the power of 12 

plus

9 (numbers) to the power of 12

plus

10 (keyboard characters) to the power of 12

 

Which gives the number of possible combinations greater than 10 trillion. There are roughly 6 billion people on the planet so if everyone tried to crack my password for this on line training course you would probably need about 1,666 goes each before somebody cracked it and got access to my results of the money laundering legislation update exam.

 

It's fucking insanity.

anybody using their phone whilst having a meal. Communal eating is a basic human need, we've been doing it since we lived in caves and ate mammoths. "No devices at the table" is a hard rule in our house.

My password at work is now 17 characters long & I need to use it to access the mandatory training courses as well as my payslips.

 

Farcical.

I take my dog for a walk on weekend to a beautiful open nature reserve- I try and go early (around 8am) as it can get hard to park.

 

All very idyllic and tranquil- apart from last weekend where some twat was walking across the field with his dog whilst have a loud speaker conversation while holding his phone flat in the palm of his hand (why do people do that?) and every other word was "yeah, fuuuckkk, fuckin right mate, SHITTTTTTT "

 

I seriously considered batting the phone out of his hand but Id only been awake about half an hour and hadn't had breakfast so wasnt quite fight ready

We've got two passwords- one allows internet access but is restricted and you can't install anything with it. The admin password allows full control, but no internet access. So if you want to install anything that downloads the files during the installation (i.e. just about everything from Microsoft these days like Visual Studio or SQL Server), you're stuffed. You either have to do without it and piss about accessing a VM in Azure (more passwords), or try and do an horrendous offline install. All this so some cunt in group IT can check a box and pretend he has a secure network.

Have got some friends staying over, and one of them nearly nodded off during me telling him my Virgin Media WiFi password.

All these meme things on social media which say things like 'Nostalgia be like' with some absolutely hilarious picture depicting a stupid form of nostalgia.

 

Can folk not just take three seconds to write a proper sentence anymore.

People that cross the road on an angle when you're in a traffic queue. They'll walk 45 degrees from the back of the car, so you only see them literally when they are in front of you. I've never hit one of these idiots but I'm sure someone will if they keep doing this.
