Really minor annoyances


More of a major annoyance. Half way though yesterday, Google did something that appears to have broken all the Chromecasts in the world. We ditched our Sky box years ago and found sticking a Chromecast in the back and launching an app from a phone or tablet was brilliant. Now the only way to watch something on the telly is via the xbox which takes ages to start up, and sign you in.
And another one...

Getting to 11:40, then noticing I have two back to back meetings, 12-1 and 1-2. I'm hungry.

I'm usually happy to be flexible about when I take a dinner break but I need to get better at booking in a lot when someone puts one meeting during dinner.

It's a public footpath and wasn't walking in a busy road for him. Claim potential them mind
 
Sockets on trains for charging phones. They're in between the seats, so if anyone is already in the seat next to you it's almost impossible to get your charger into the socket without looking like you're about to give them oral sex
Oh, and prices when they say "only" or "just". They've had a announcement "2 fans of Madri for just £7.50". What do you mean "just" £7.50 for two f***ing cans? How about you tell me the price and I'll decide whether to think "wow, only £7.50" or not

One of my pet peeves. An extortionate price somehow declared reasonable with the magic word 'just' or 'only'.

Lad at work was informed there would be a "small increase in price" to his gym membership.

From £50 to £75 :lol:

It'll be some kindly older woman who spoils twats at work by making them drinks and letting them get away with shit.

I worked with a lad who gave it the "hard done to" routine and had several "mature" females bringing in casseroles, doing mending and laundry and running errands etc. The bone idle fuck was my boss as well 😁
 
Whatsapp messages from someone I do work for. I'm driving and my phone is going mental with alerts but I can't look at it. Conversation goes something like:

"hi becs"
"how are you?"
"hope you are well!"
"you know that job you did in ......"
"client has said there needs to be an update"
"are you ok to pop back and do that?"
"let me know"
"take care"
"bye for now"

Wish she would cut the waffle and just send one message explaining what she wants.
