Really minor annoyances

N0bheads who sit for ages on equipment you want to use in the gym to check out their SM feeds or take selfies. When you ask to use said equipment you’d think you were taking their firstborn

The gym I used to go to had CV stuff facing the weight and resistance stuff. I'd regularly do 25 minutes on a treadmill and see a couple of people on one machine do a pair of 8 rep sets in the same time.

Their time vs benefit must be really low. I can't understand the faffing about. I want to go, work hard, leave.

Yep..same same. In fairness you do get odd 1 or 2 have their workout on their device ( beats me how you can’t remember what you will and need to do but ho hum ), but majority of them seem to work on 1 minute on equipment and 29 minutes gawping at their phone
 
People saying 'here we go' to every transfer rumour and signing.

1 set of reps, 6 sets of TikTok. Repeat.

Getting old and not understanding things, I mean WTF is a zero gravity lounge chair?

I think when I was young I would have had an issue with that too. I have just googled it, and it is a deck chair which does obey the laws of gravity. The only thing to understand is that marketing people bullshit. That is not new.
 
Web applications for booking stuff that do not dynamically adjust the end/return date to be after the start date when you change that.

I get it in a few places, particularly booking holiday at work or booking trains. You have to click through the calendar to find the day and time, then next field for the end date still says today, long before the start date, meaning you have to click through calendars again. Particularly annoying if you are booking a few months in advance.

All it takes is 2 lines of javascript to say, if the start date changes and the end date is in the past, change the end date to the start date + 8 hours or something reasonable.
 
Bright young things at work telling me all about the AI they’re working on. I asked one of them if he’d put it through a 3 room test or was it just a simple Chinese room, he didn’t have a clue what I was on about.

Neither do I.

I’m not bright, young, a thing or at work though, so I suspect that’s not quite so annoying.

Trying to get in touch with booking dot com when your booking reference doesn’t come through or some other faux pas.
It is impossible to ring them
 
Footballers who constantly pull the legs of their shorts up. The West Ham lad with the curly hair done it all game yesterday. It looks absolutely ridiculous.
