Really minor annoyances


People buying vape. The process not the actual concept.

Actually can I have a number 562, a 34, a 984 actually no, the next one waterbomb cherry bakewell tart cloudburst. That sounds good. Is it four for 15 quid? I'll take the antifreeze sour apple in that case. Oh and can I have sixteen lucky dips.

you missed off "can you check these?" and they hand over a crumpled pile of old lottery tickets, that all have to be flattened out and scanned through the lottery machine.

The with the measly winnings pick out a number 4 and number 9 and a number 11. Actually make that 2 number 9s.

Theyre all the fecking same.

I must give this one a try.
 
Pulling over to the outside lane to let someone on. Then they don’t let you pull back in and take off in the inside lane, essentially overtaking you in the left lane.
When I drive trucks this would happen a lot. I move over, they come on and sit on the inside of me. Then they put their foot down. The cars behind me move over and start to undertake me. Now I’m stuck in the outside lane looking like a wanker, even though I done the right thing at the start ffs
 
Cut and paste on Windows, especially office. It will not select the area you drag over and uses it's "intelligence" to highlight precisely the wrong thing. Sometimes it decides you really wanted the entire paragraph, or the full word.

I just tried highlighting the end of a sentence that I decided I didn't need, along with the capital letter of the next sentence. I say yes, that is exactly what I want thats why I f***ing well did it. Microsoft say, no you wanted to highlight that section of the last sentence, plus the word before it and the entire first word of the next sentence.

I always end up either deleting manually or just retyping stuff.
 
Taps in toilets that when turned/pressed go:

nothing
nothing
nothing
tiny trickle
Force 10 storm just off the Cape of Good Hope
Or related. For some reason now taps have to be electric and have sensors. As a techy, I saw this cool technology coming in and thought, no, far to much to go wrong. Now you go to places and half the sensors or valves are broken so you can't get water, which is the primary purpose of a tap. Victoria Station yesterday, I had to try 4 taps before I found one that worked.
