Really minor annoyances

Twatting yourself off an inanimate object. Grabbed my phone on the way out to walk the dog this morning, spun around & banjaxed my cheek/nose off the door frame! Proper saw stars, made worse by the rising rage & desire for vengeance somewhat stymied when you realise you can't really punch a solid wood frame...

Worse when they don’t line up.p or they don’t tell you in advance.

I always remember finding out half way we needed to get on buses. Then we sat on the buses for 15 minutes while the drivers had a fag break, then missed the train on the next section by 5 minutes and had to wait another hour for the next train. The next train terminated the stop before my station, and I had another long wait.

It took me 3 hours to get from Newcastle to London, then another 3.5 hours for the 50 mile trip on from there, which is only usually one hour 20. If I had known, I would have taken the car.

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.

Seem to remember Ronaldo doing this prior to every free kick he took during the World Cup. Pathetic ‘LOOK AT ME’ strategy from the attention seeking pillock.
 
This is probably the wrong thread. Because it’s not minor. And I’m annoyed with myself.

In brief; I already know that if I call into the GPs Medical Centre or if I telephone them, first it’ll take ages, but also they will ask me questions, then they’ll review notes, then they’ll type a message to the GP, that I’ll correct, then they’ll check the notes again, ask questions, correct their typing, then the message/enquiry to the GP will be emailed.

I know it’s quicker for me to simply go on to the NHS app, locate the messaging function, and type my message/enquiry. It will be forwarded to the GP

No need for anybody to read extensive notes - that I already know , or read letters to me that I’ve already read, check information in the files, that I’ve just given them, check with me that they’ve understood correctly.., blah blah.

So I’m annoyed that instead of typing “my wife was admitted to a&e due to incorrect dosage of medication that you prescribed but promised to review and you’ve just prescribed it again you knacker” (or similar) into the app messaging function, I’ve just spent 45 minutes on the phone explaining the whole background to a glorified typist/receptionist.

So I’m annoyed with myself.

I swear some sites intentionally mess with your passwords to cause maximum annoyance.



Oh and where it’s ‘Password must contain a uppercase and a lowercase letter, a number, a special character, be longer than 4 letters but also no longer than 13 characters, can’t contain the same character twice in a row, cant contain more than 3 letters in total, oh no that specific special character you selected isn’t valid.
Choose another character, your password must contain a reference to a cartoon character, password must contain a human sacrifice, the blood of an animal that isn’t domesticated and be inputted at exactly 11:32:37pm using two step verification and inputting the code we just sent you three hours after you requested it’

Password is valid.

Try to login ‘password is incorrect’

Get and I mean this with all of my being …..Fucked

Or hug chunks of the middle of the day booked as “focus time” that they will not allow to be interrupted under any circumstance, but will happily try and double book you or see the bit you blocked out for lunch in an otherwise meeting filled day, as sacrificial.

Worse is the people “you can bring your lunch to the meeting we don’t mind”. I do, fuck off.
