Minor things that really piss you off !

Talking of 'space', my telescope has just arrived.

BBC 5 day forecast, white cloud for the foreseeable week... that pisses me off!

Surely you could have come up with an "ursa minor" pun given the thread title!

Posters that brag about using the ignore feature.

WHS, especially when you can tell they're just desperate for someone to quote the post they can't see.

[norrahe]

people who sit beside you on the tube and despite there being an armrest between you and them decide they need some of your space.

Also people who insist on holding their newspaper so wide it's right in your face

[GreenLabel]

Job adverts that promote a company's "commitment to diversity" while at the same time explicitly stating that applicants from outside their own undustry will not be considered.

Itsy-bitsy suitcases that couldn't possibly hold more than three kilograms that are nonetheless fitted with silly little wheels and a telescopic handle.

The way the general public completely lose any and all semblance of intelligence upon entering an airport. Examples:

If you've been standing in the queue for security for twenty minutes, why wait until you're standing at the X-ray machine to start rummaging through your pockets? Can't you transfer your coins, keys, and wallet to your hand luggage while you're waiting in the line?

And are you so stupid that the process of "remove metal, walk through scanner" is too much for you? Why do so many people still set off the metal detector, requiring a time-consuming pat-down?

If it weren't for morons like these holding everyone else up, delays, queues and frustration at airports would be cut in half.

CD Jewel cases, how has such a piss poor design managed to stay in production unchanged for so bloody long? I mean billions have been sold over the years and I bet half of them have either a broken disc retainer or a hinge missing.

Do you mean the ones that are effectively briefcases or laptop bags on wheels? I kept tripping over the little buggers whilst fighting my way through Paddington station last year. If I ever find out who invented them..... grrr

Why tax is too bloody taxing

X As you have not used the system for some time, for security reasons your session has closed. To continue to use this service, log in again using your User ID and password, or your digital certificate if you have one.

Oi Hector, you cu*t.

Your timeout on the HMRC web site forms is too f**king short. It times out before virtually every f**king field because I have to go and find the information.

So I have to log in again before putting in the next f*king number.

It makes filling in the form online take MUCH MUCH longer than on paper.

But you bastards don't care because you don't have to do it, do you?

I'm sat here on my own on a secure system where nobody else has access unless they break in. Why can't I choose the time-out period, you bastards? It's MY f**king data and MY f**king security in MY f**king office on MY f**king PCs, you stupid, selfish, inconsiderate bastards.

This is another one of the reasons why you tax people are all a bunch of bastards.

No, tax shouldn't be taxing BUT YOU MAKE IT HARD.
