When they move stuff around at the supermarket, so it takes you twice as long to find the stuff you want, even though you've been buying the same things regularly for months and it's always been in the same place.

They do it so you spend longer looking at stuff in the shop and might end up buying things you usually don't notice.

When you stop at a mini roundabout because a car is to the right not indicating, then once you come to a stop they proceed to turn left without indicating.

The clicky sound the wheel on a mouse makes when people are scrolling down a page, it sets my teeth on edge. Why can't people use the scroll bar instead ffs. You can tell when people in my office are browsing social media by the way they're just sitting clicking their mouse constantly like that!

On top of that no one else uses a mouse mat any more for some reason, so you get an awful scraping noise along the desk every time someone moves their mouse.

I really need to work in a room on my own.

No mouse mats?  That's just weird.

Not as convenient.  Especially if reading a document.

To be honest I don't have a mouse mat either and a quick look around my office of 12 desks there are 2 mouse mats. An optical mouse don't need a mouse mat.

Love using a scroll wheel, but agree about the mouse mat. It moves so much better on one (a hard one, not one of those soft types) than on a wooden desk.

Restaurants when they take the menus away after you order and have to ask for them back when you want dessert. Just leave them there.

Restaurants when you ask for the bill and they bring it but then leave you for another 20 minutes, before you then have to ask for the card machine, when clearly by asking for the bill you wanted to pay and leave.

I've got a wireless mouse, £14 thing and it works great on the desk. Also, I always found myself running off the edge of the mouse mat.

What the fuck are you doing to go off the edge of the mat? 

I've got two 27" screens and can go from the edge of one to the edge of the other with a little wrist movement 

[Crosby Nick]

Are those of you using a mouse may still worried about the upcoming millennium bug?

Drivers who cannot drive. Way home from the father in laws funeral yesterday, driving down narrow lanes and then gets to a single track section. There are cars stopped on the single track and a young woman in a Fiesta has tried to squeeze through, but can't so has to reverse. She was barely capable of reversing, she actually started on the left side of the road and then sort of wobbled backwards and ended up on the opposite side, she then drove forward and reversed the same way. The she managed to get near the edge of the left side, but had the car in a position where no-one could get through, she then does a wobbly reverse again, gets far enough over to the left to make space and hits the crash barrier.

How the fuck can you pass your test when you have no basic skills?

This drives me crazy

I have a wireless mouse & keyboard not sure what the price was as i've had it a few years & it works perfectly.


Oh on another note, the EU privacy bollocks, which means i can't access some websites which are outside the EU.

Working nights when there's work scheduled to be done in the flat during the day, with no clue as to what time they'll be round or what order they're doing the flats in.

Could get the call anytime between 9am and 4pm.

That annoys me as well, especially if it's a nice day, & you have to stay in, as you know as soon as you go out, they'll call, it's more annoying the longer they take elsewhere especially when you need to go to the shop for something.

[redgriffin73]

It's not the using of it or otherwise that I object to, it's the fucking annoying scrapy noise they make on a desk if you don't use one.

Plus I have one with a nice spongy bit for my delicate wrist.

Power cuts. I now have half a hoovered living room.

My mate lives near a Lidl and they're having an extension built.  In the last two weeks they've caused 7 power cuts to his street.

He works from home as well, so needs his PC.

Not going tonight's match, and having to give my ticket away to a mate, because I'm ill, and housebound for the week.

The roadworks in Liverpool City Centre, they're turning Victoria Street into a bus hub, the roadworks are going on for most of this year[should finish in November]but it's chaos & gridlock in & out of the City Centre, i noticed traffic going way down Byrom Street yo Scotland Road because of this & that was around 12pm, doesn't help with the Churchill Way flyovers being permanently closed, & up for demolition.

Used the new tunnel to get to Wales last week as the M56 was stuffed, first time in now for a few years. Why are the flyovers getting demolished, are they knackered or something?

Apparently unsafe.

Shame really as I loved the idea of it being like the Highline in NYC or something.

[Statto Red]

The flyovers are ugly looking things but do a job.

Main reason for the gridlock are those temporary lights at the on Crosshall Street, Victoria Street junction, they're on red longer than the normal lights, the sequencing of the normal lights was they turned green just as ques started to build up, that's been lost.

I love them as they are a part of the City from my childhood - used to love going over them on the bus or in the car.

Back then bus routes[well mostly Pier Head bus routes anyway] then ended with the letter D went over the flyovers, that changed October 86 when everything became a free for all[think only the 9A or 9D went over the flyovers] after that.

Visiting my uncle and auntie it was the 15D, Tower Hill to the Pier Head, ferry to Birkenhead, then Crosville bus to Little Sutton.

By 86, I either cycled into town, drove or jumped on the train.

It’s a piss take thread. Certainly not obsession.

I'm sure the other day when they were playing City there were 4 new pages in the space of 24 hours.

On a day they could have directly influenced us winning a first title in 29 years? How obsessive!

We knew they wouldn't get anything, they're absolutely shocking.
