It absolutely drives me up the wall when people choose to use the rubbish one over the Dyson one. This really shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does, but I just can’t think of any logical reason why you’d pick the crap one. Are people scared to stick their hands in those Dyson ones? Or if they're not liking having to work, a slow dryer can delay having to do any for a couple of minutes?

Wideload90 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Asswipes that sign emails off with 'Best'. Best what? Don't be so arrogant and lazy, send regards or wishes. I wish I could burn anybody who sends this shite in an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's short for best wishes, as you should well know. Try not to burn anyone, mate. Best regards, Brew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 5, 2018 I put "Best" to people I'm close to, because they know I mean it's a combo of best wishes and regards. More efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewster McCloud Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I use "Regards" for the few occasions I email my parents. They use "Love," but that's a bit icky for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have, in the past, had problems with my stupid fat fingers typing "retards" instead; thankfully, the people I sent those to saw the funny side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucking annoying! Â I can somewhat vouch for this as when I was in SE Asia, I picked up a few cheap smartphones (although these were barely smartphones, just running the most terrible build of Android I've ever seen) and for some reason no sales person could comprehend that I didn't them to set the phones up for me. I just wanted to buy a few phones, in a far off land, not registered to my name, paid for in cash and that I'd grab some sim cards for them when I got home. Oh, no, I had to leave with them having installed all kinds of janky shit on them that I then later had to wipe completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Another one, people who insist on holding your phone when you show them a picture which they can totally see 12 inches from their face. They do not need to hold your phone to see the image and I want to slap hands of people who reach out to grab it. I am holding the phone for you to look at. It is not an invitation to hold my mobile telephone device. (Disclaimer - this is the trivial things thread - I know people want a better view of the picture.)

Brewster McCloud Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I'm with you on that one. I think it's the loss of agency and a subconscious fear that they're going to start going through your contact list or reading Whatsapp messages. Edited October 6, 2018 by Brewster McCloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Fucking cyclists who insist on using the pavement instead of the road, then they have the cheek to ring their shitty little bell as they hurtle up behind you. Do-gooder pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 One that is guaranteed to get me going is having to shorten my stride mid step. Â Like you're walking at your normal stride and someone slows down in front of you and you have to moderate your stride for a few seconds. Â Jesus, that really annoys me for some reason.

It's made even worse when you realise that they haven't slowed down for any other reason than to fuck about on their phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
