RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE

The little advertising sting on BBC podcasts (advertising other shittier BBC podcasts). It’s like they searched for “bright cheery sting”, couldn’t choose which one to use, so just played them all simultaneously and loudly
 
Buying clothes online where a site has a seemingly nice set of questions about height/measurements/preferred style of fit to give you a sizing suggestion (particularly when they only have things in S/M/L), and then it’s just nowhere near accurate.

Thats why I never online shop for clothes. How can I know if it'll look good on me? I know I can send things back, but I'll forget and then be out the money

I have a very nice unintentional CROP TOP due to this :evil:

Well I did it with UniQlo when I already know I used to wear a Medium and had no issue with them, but it’s been a while so for some reason when doing their calculations I should apparently now be wearing a Large. I just bought a Large to try and it’s absolutely massive :angry: Why didn’t I just go with my own instinct?

I think it's time to mention Christmas songs.

Walking through the shops being Whammed for the 50th time just feels so much like being programmed. Pavlovian conditioning, there's that same song again, time to buy more shit

How do we not already have a vast majority of people fed up of hearing over and over and over the same thing they heard over and over 30,40,50 years ago ?

Every time I hear Wham! I just thank heavens at least it’s not Paul McCartney.

I don't hate all Xmas songs, maybe it's something to do with how many times one can listen to Last Christmas in particular.
There's a school opposite my apartment and the children were singing it over and over today, it was painful.
 
I love 'Last Christmas'. It's a perfectly crafted pop song! God bless St George :disco:

I mean, I'm sure I'd have a different opinion if I worked in retail or listened to the radio but I don't.

On the subject of shops, those people who are always right on top of you at the checkout, nudging you with their trolley etc (I am one of the 1 in 10000 who masks up at the moment but that makes no difference to people giving you any space) as if they think somehow it'll all happen faster if they do the equivalent of tailgating.

Decided to be mildly sarcastic this time. "Can I squeeze in please?" when their trolley was too far forward and in the way of the card reader. "There you go, all yours!" when leaving.
 
That guy whose videos keep popping up on my Insta recommendations, where he’s just sitting there with this self-satisfied look and points at two music video clips above his head
 
So I deal with a lot of records at work and we access them via reference numbers - totally normal. No reference number so far is more than 6 numbers. It’s quick and easy to use the numerical pad to type that number in when it is quoted to you, or if you need to refer to it in an email or transfer it to any other document.

For some reason about 80% of my colleagues will be in a record, then right click the number to select, copy with their mouse and then right click again and paste it to where they want it to go. Why is it not just easier to TYPE 6 numbers?
 
I feel a bit of deja vu by saying this, but I think we know people who do capital letters by pressing Caps Lock, type the letter, and then turn off Caps Lock

Using 'mio' as an abbreviation for million. Is it a European thing?
 
People who choose to come in the the office every day (that’s me), but have loud conversations in their “team meetings” via Teams at their desk using headphones. Why not just book a bloody meeting room (we’re SURROUNDED by them) and do it in private?
 
People who LEAN on their shopping trolley handles rather than pushing it with their hands

There's a reason why it's CAREERING all over the AISLE. It's terrible for your back TOO

It's definitely a German thing.

Is there a reason they don't use 'm'? I know it could also mean metres, but context usually makes it clear.

Or perhaps the British would have adopted 'mio' as well, if we didn't spend so long hanging onto imperial measures and yards.

You have to understand we don't have the influence of USA and we pronounce foreign words the way we want :eyes: grindr, wi-fi, we don't use the English pronunciation, why would we do that? I'm sure you do.
