Really minor annoyances

There’s a Browse button at the bottom left which takes you to the older and more familiar directory navigation page.
Shame that can’t be set as default.

It is what MS have always done. New OS, or application, just put a few pointless screens in front of the useful stuff. Control Panel is the worst, especially networking. It is always a pain to find the route to where you can actually configure a network interface and be selective of how you do it, if it is not going to DHCP.

Wireless is worse. You can only edit details of a wireless connection if you are connected. But if you are connected you probably don't want to make changes because you will break it. It is a nightmare if you are trying to change authentication for a test wireless network because you can't tweak profiles, you have to delete and set up again each time.

Spotify:

When you go to an album and click to add to new playlist, now the name defaults to the album title rather than the artist and the album title.

I’m sure there is a better way, but I like playlists

Or the auto-selection of music when your queue or playlist is done.

Spotify are trying to convince me to become a Creedence Clearwater Revival fan. They are ok, nowt special, but everytime it has to pick a 'random' song for me, it is always the same couple of Creedence tracks. I'm growing to hate the band just because of Spotify insistence.

I have the same problem with The Waterboys. It happens regardless of which genre of music I am listening to. I didn't used to care one way or the other about them but I am getting to intensly dislike them.
 
The insistence of places like McDonalds in the UK having their Drive thru instead of through and other similar Americanisms or abbreviations. How come they aren't forced by trading rules in the UK to spell it correctly?. No wonder kids today will be the pig shit thick cretins ruling the world in 20 years time. Even the P.M will be using Zee instead of Zed, thru and other shite. Lord help us all.

Amazon said my delivery was 1 stop away, but he was over the other side of the village and stopped several times on his way to mine.

I was stalking him as I was about to take the dog out when I got the notification, so I waited until he'd been.

Amazon driver running late as driver apps say this is when they will be at you virtually....

Yet amazingly the driver is 20 minutes behind what a app tells the customer he really is. Blimey breaking news here.

The driver then bullshits by taking photos of parcels nowhere near your house just to make it look like they are delivered to help him catch up with his time schedules
...Evri do this. The same guy also walks over my front lawn to get to my front door even though I have a double drive. I always set the wife onto the bugger.

Posters who single others out for a sarcastic reply on a minor annoyances thread.
 
Booking a meal and the restaurant putting a time they expect you to be out by. I get they’ve got to arrange things but find it rude as fuck.

Watching all the peasants queueing at the hartlepool one with engines running last week, dawned on me how harmful the millions of those will be on the environment.
 
Shops where the majority of the staff are stocking shelves

Cages in the way and usually struggle to get served with one on the till

Iceland and the Coop are terrible for it

Might as well put a sign up saying we don't want to sell anything today as you're getting in the way

In fact the Coop often just leave the tills abandoned. Having to go look for a staff member is outrageous

My wife if she cant remember somebody's name, rather than describe some characteristics which would we give me a chance of identifying the person, will give me a list of the names of people who they are not. Just when I think life cant get any more exciting I get to play an impromptu game of guess who to find out who the name of the ex colleague she saw in the town.
