Chargers and power cables - why can't they be standardised. Got drawers full of the things. Every time you buy a device you get a new one. It's ridiculous and wasteful.

It is annoying in a cinema.
Went to see a film the other day and the first 15 minutes of dialog was drowned out by the rustling of wrappers and crunching of popcorn, from everywhere around me.
Why don't they eat before the film or afterwards?

Mark Kermode wrote a cinema code of conduct that all cinemas should be legally made to enforce.

think I might have already had this (or similar)..but..
people that use stupid sayings in front of just about all of the things that they say. There is someone at work who, whilst on the phone, starts just about all of their sentences with either "yeh/no", or 'I mean..", or "As I say".
When he's particularly on-form, it's not unusual for the entire sentence to be "Yeh, no..I mean, as I say" - which drives me potty.

There's this wpman who sits it a cubicle near me who cannot say just one 'yeah'; when someone says something she agrees with (in person or on the phone), she says 'yeah yeah yeah yeah', usually at least four 'yeahs' sometines more. Sometimes she breaks up the sequence as in 'yeah yeah yeah yeah, I know what you mean, yeah yeah yeah yeah'.
Drives me nuts.

Government self assessment tax website - talk about a vicious circle and feeling fucked - enter it at your peril and when you don't have enough information it disappears so you can start again

Having additional work thrown your way at short notice which means you are now an hour behind where you needed to be at the end of the day and will have to go in early tomorrow to finish up. My head is melting.

Stopped going to the cinema years ago because of the mobile phone issue. Agree with all of these.

I always tell myself I won't go back but I'm a sucker for the big screens and sound. It makes some films far better e.g Hackshaw Ridge.

I'm starting to lose my rag more and more though. This absolute pig of a man was literally shovelling popcorn into his face before a screening of Halloween. He proudly announced to his humpy woman that he could eat popcorn all day to which I loudly interjected "Yeah we can tell mate"

Some overly dramatic ponce, (most probably gifted and advisory role through nepotism), once heard a story about some kid that nearly chocked on a 3" He Man badge after eating Ready Brek, in the dark. Hence forth, decided to make a name for himself and extract the fun from the breakfast table. I'm sorry, but If a child chokes to death after eating a football card with a miniature cap gun attached to the back of it thinking this to be part of the breakfast meal, then they are just thinning the herd.

Conflicted on this one; laughed out loud, but felt a little uneasy about it.

I honestly have no idea why people do that. Maybe it's something built into the human brain that wants us to sit in packs? It's highly annoying.

I got a unexpected half day a few months back so decided to go and see a film at 2pm. The cinema was completely empty apart from me. I was relaxed and had a great seat. Then a few minutes into the screening around 20 Chinese students streamed in and sat directly behind me!

Fuckers would not shut up either.

So basically a list of what used to be considered good manners.

Was there ever a time when the general public had manners?

I'm in my early 30s and have a feeling things are getting worse but that's possibly just me becoming resentful and miserable because I can't go to clubs anymore and young girls look through me as if I were a mere pane of glass.

I hope I didn't just over share.

Been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt.

Was riding the escalator in the upper precinct up to West Orchard and spotted a very pretty girl on the down escalator. As we passed just inches from each other she looked straight through me to the scene beyond as if I wasn't even there.

Believe me it gets worse after that.

Over-sharing adds much needed colour to the forum. Wait till you get to my age (late 50s) before moaning!
Always regret having visitors round when you're trying to watch something on the goggler. There are those who can't resist the temptation to share their inane opinions rather than shutting the fuck up. In cinemas there should be a suitably armed security guard who is there to enforce the Kermode code with "extreme prejudice". Failing that, seats should be wired up so that the VAR can fry the fuckers if they misbehave.

Especially when others don't do their own work - had to pick up the slack for someone more senior this week pretending to have done 10 hours of work and having done zero.

Hahaha! I am 34 in December and still get checked out by girls in their early 20s ;) A few weeks ago on a train a couple of 18 year old girls took a shine to me, I considered moving carriage in case people thought I was encouraging it.

You’ll be looking 50 soon with the stress of the extra workload.

They don't like to be identified as anything, however, I identify them as whining, overly dramatic, little twats, dripping in self loathing desperately trying to garner justice for a problem that doesn't exist.
