Really minor annoyances
- Thread starter chunkyshanhawk53
- Start date
Mine do a "courtesy wipe" a few seconds after cleaning the window. When you're driving on the motorway in wet weather, that's just enough time for more muck to land on the windscreen and get smeared by the courtesy wipe.
My GP still plays a message with a load of covid information, a reminder that the receptionist needs to ask medical questions to triage you and a reminder that abusive behaviour will not be tolerated and they'll cut you off if you are rude to them. It lasts for nearly two minutes before you even get to the menu of options to pick.

When I have checked, I'm on 16.7.1. I guess I'm probably 3rd generation. I have had it a good old while.
It still gets security updates. They have not announced a date when they will stop, but IOS 15 ended in September this year and 16 is a year older, so I guess I have 10 months of life left in it
On some systems, you can pick the number while the waffle is going on. There have been a few times I have noted down that I want 3-1-1 and can just skip straight through.

On channel hopping on the telly before I pop out to the post office, I chanced upon an episode of the continuous looping of Frasier on channel Four. I’ve realised that the ‘Clive’ character who is an old boyfriend of Daphne’s from Manchester, played by a, presumably American actor whose accent is only slightly less convincing than Dick Van Dyke, is a minor annoyance.
But then, as has been mentioned on these forums on numerous occasions, Daphne’s Manchester family’s accents are a smorgasbord of regional and National variety that suggests a family backstory that would probably require the same number of series as Frasier has, to understand.
Maybe the bloke who played Frasiers Dad should had offered some pointers. He was the only one who actually came from Manchester. I’ve mentioned that before anarl.

The house next door has an overflow pipe that has been dripping for months now. The bloke is a flooring fitter and generally handy at DIY, but either has not noticed this, doesn't know how to fix it or doesn't care. It should not really bother me but it does, a little bit. I'm surprised they have not noticed it in their water bills.

People queuing at the Gate before boarding a plane.

Inconsiderate bastards telling you about stuff you can never get.
People who show off about their travels. Look at me. Pathetic.

On a similar note my contact lens packs vary between 3 or 5, who’s idea was that?

People dawdling in the street, shop, and other such places. Get on with it, do it with purpose and get to where you're going, there are people behind you who have better things to do than being held up by you in some shop.
People whose opinions sound they're like they've been lifted straight from facebook and twitter.
People swearing and shouting on public transport.

I blame the airlines for this.
Some Low Cost ones put the airport screens to "Final Call" before the inbound flight has landed.
Last time I flew Wizzair, they put the flight on Final Call, when the plane was over Amsterdam ( yes I'm sad and track it on Flight radar!)
Went down to the gate, there was a bar opposite, managed two more drinks watching the queue before it moved.

One of these days everyone on the plane will be the same mindset as me, then we’ll be in trouble
it will be like a battle of wills who’s going to get up first

On the subject of dawdling. The slow tortoise like speed at which people pull away through green lights. Don’t know if it’s fuckers on their phones not paying attention or people who clearly have loads of time on their hands, but it infuriates me the amount of lights that change before you’re through because the dopey wankers a few spaces in front crawled through.
This. I can see that the lights are green 10 cars back, why aren’t we moving?

I’ll see your Robbie Williams and raise you a keyboard player in Duran Duran being so far up himself in an episode of ‘Classic Albums’ (!!!??????) (it was ‘Rio’!!!!????) that you could see his arse coming out of his mouth.Robbie Williams…on the news talking shite….
Most of that episode was about marketing, promotion, the clothes they wore in the videos, going to a jungle to film some videos, some more marketing, the sleeve, the promotion, the videos… but the way whatever-his-name was going on you’d think he was inventing a whole new way of making music and breaking down artistic and social values by virtue of the exact pressure he used to press the button down on his Roland JD-XA keyboard.
I thought I might hear something from Andy Taylor but apart from mentioning that his guitar parts were heavy cause he was from Whitley Bay there wasn’t a lot to hear. And he wasn’t present.
Edit: for clarity. It was an old programme, made before his health issues.

Fuckin don't get me started on bastard dawdlers. An absolute scourge. Usually coming out of a shop or train station and stopping dead in the middle of the door to gormlessly look around and at thier phone wondering what planet this is .
The east stand at the SoL is 95% dawdle. Full time and there's 3000 people behind them wanting to get out of the ground and they are shuffling around on the stairs wondering where their empty worthers original wrapper is so they can pick it up and haven't even noticed the match finished 10 mins ago
