Really minor annoyances


I went to see The King Blues years and years ago, when they were just getting popular with the "mainstream", and me and my mates walked up to the front before they came on, to hear a voice behind us:

"Scuse me lads, no moshing round here, yeah? My missus has a broken foot"

Only to see a woman behind him in cast and on crutches.

We told them what they were doing was a bad idea, but no. We told them to move to the back for their own safety, but no, so we left them to it and went to the other side of the stage.

I bet they had a really miserable time because of their main character syndrome.

We had that at a Muse gig. Two lasses dragged an older woman (possibly their Mam) into the front and she was unsteady on her feet and clearly not enjoying it. They were annoyed at people dancing and jumping around and bumping into her.
 
This could be one for the major annoyances thread but...

Adverts for trainers (usually on Instagram) that seem like a cracking deal until you click in and realise it's only kids sizes.
 
That stupid walkers crisps advert with Messi and others
Agree. Any A-listers advertising absolute food pantry basics- just why?

The GOAT of football advertising crisps FFS
(As if ripping off Prime, down to the bottle design, wasn't embarassing enough)

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal besmirching the legacy of their biggest movie and iconic scene to advertise bloody mayonnaise

Just why?

I'm probably more annoyed that I bet there's the same advert in Europe where he asks for Lays.

There are some seriously annoying adverts kicking about now I think about it 😂

Excuse me! This is the “Really Minor Annoyances” thread.
For serious annoyances you need another thread.

I type in landscape on my iPhone with my thumbs.
On a previous OS the letter tiles were wider. Then they changed to smaller even though there’s a couple of cms either use of unused space that would be perfect to allow wider tiles for my thick thumbs.

Also there used to be a > and a < button to advance the cursor to move and make typo corrections. They disappeared some time ago and in place you have to push down on the space bar and try to slide it over to where the typo is to make the correction.

Loads of computer systems make changes just for the sake of change. You get used to tool bars and menus on MS office then they do a new version and everything has moved.

Why?
