Really minor annoyances

Had this when an ATM swallowed my bank card.

"Did you know you can do this through the app?"

a) It gave two options, lost or stolen; I wanted to inform you an atm was either on the blink or rigged to scam people.
b) I want a human to assure me my card is cancelled.

"You can message us through the app"

When I'm in a panic, I don't want to be tippy tapping paragraphs on a phone, waiting like a dick for a reply.

Do they ever consider older people, those with bad eyesight or maybe dexterity problems might not want to rely on being able to type 100-word essays on a f***ing tiny keypad to solve crisis situations?

The kicker was during the call they wanted to arrange a webcam meeting to discuss different accounts I could possibly get. Obviously MY time isn't as valuable as their precious time.

Aye, and the bank would have been a hundred yards from where it happened - had they not closed it.

If I’m in a mood I generally type ‘human’ as every option on a so-called ‘chat’ service is presented. Until the AI gets the message. Sometimes it doesn’t.
 

Adverts that invite you to "take the (insert name here) challenge".

It's a f***ing washing powder*. Buying a box and using it every time is not a challenge. I've used loads of different ones down the years, none of them being markedly better than any others. They all do the job.

There is nothing challenging about using any of them.

(* equally could be a shampoo, yoghurt or insurance comparison site)

Daz that really annoy you?
 
When you go to put air in your tyres and every single time the bastard valve is at the bottom meaning you have to get on your knees to get the compressor connected.

My fingerprint reader thing on my phone is shite so I have to put my pin in.
First world problems.

Didn't realise how much I relied on it until I got a new laptop and it didn't have a fingerprint reader. Absolute hell sticking the pin in every time.
