Just for attentionPeople who post loving tributes about relatives who have passed away yet can be arsed spending time with relatives who are still alive
Sorry I know that sounds morbid
People palming off there old £1 coins to me in a hand full of change.
They select it for you by default, you have to jump through hoops in order to deselect it! :emoji_angry:The Amazon Prime trap, accidentally selected it with an order and had to jump through hoops to cancel the fucker.
adverts selling you a new 'kitchen'.
i.e.when buying furniture for a bedroom, you are buying 'bedroom furniture', and not a 'new bedroom'
when buying furniture for a living room, you are buying 'living room furniture', and not a 'new living room'
so why is it, when you need to buy some new kitchen furniture, that you are buying 'a new kitchen' ?
I don't. Please add it to the list..You also say a ' new bathroom' Rather than bathroom furniture?
sounds a bit like a 'wife' complaint you have there?People who have to analyse, think, analyse, think etc before doing anything and need to know the entire history / workings and goings on before they can do something.
ie. rather than putting a key in the door, turning it to unlock and then walk in they have to know how it was fitted, who made the lock, how many keys there are, what is the process if the door wont unlock, what is the process if we lose the key, what is the process if somebody has the key in the door on the other side.

People that watch Eastenders.
Agree, never seen a single episode but the endless trailers seem to reinforce the view that Londoners are the most miserable and unfriendly bastards in the country.I just can't see how people enjoy it, it's spectacularly bad.
Hmm might have to think about this one. I'll get back to you with some questions later.People who have to analyse, think, analyse, think etc before doing anything and need to know the entire history / workings and goings on before they can do something.

another case.of sloppy film futuristic thinking at play. Just watched Ready Player One, which I believe is set in something like 2046.
These are the VR headsets.

Ummm.......
Do we really believe that the bulky headsets we have these days will still be almost exactly the same 27 years into the future?
Surely at the very worst they will look just like normal glasses and will be much slimmed down.
Real bugbear of mine, that of visioned futures that don't seem futuristic at all.
People who reply to posts without leaving a comment. Yeah, that really annoys me and I do end up spending at least 10 mins scouring my post to see if anything has changed. Grrr!!
Yes agree. Mind you I remember most of the sci-fi visions (e.g. Logan's Run) of the future look remarkably like present day shopping malls to me. All shiny chrome, escalators, transparent lifts, people talking into communicators, automatic doors, aerodynamic cars etc. Amazing how fast things are changing and we take them for granted.another case.of sloppy film futuristic thinking at play.
