MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Battery operated devices that take an odd number of batteries.
👿
Just get two...
I'm not playing ball with their cynical marketing tactics.
The other thing is, they're rechargeable batteries, and you can only charge them in twos.
The train announcements for East Midlands trains.
She says "The next East Midlands Trains Service is..."
but she doesn't combine the SS noise from the end of Trains and start of Service into one mouth shape, so it sounds like she pauses in between.
It's possibly the worst thing in the world!!
The other thing is, they're rechargeable batteries, and you can only charge them in twos.
That's not a device issue, it's a crap charger issue.
It's still a petty annoyance. Taking 3 batteries is a device issue when batteries are always sold in even amounts.
Petty annoyances,
The BBC's insistence (and others) on suffixing dots in domain names rather than prefixing them. Eg, "for more information see our website at doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot, bbc-dot, co-dot, uk." HULK SMASH!
It's still a petty annoyance.
Sure. I'm just being petty about it. (-:
This sums it up nicely.
The blatantly fraudulent tactics employed by Mcvities to ensure when opening a packet of biscuits, you are forced to to expose (and naturally consume) around 4 to 5 biscuits when using their 'helpful' hobnob release mechanism.

The BBC's insistence (and others) on suffixing dots in domain names rather than prefixing them. Eg, "for more information see our website at doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot, bbc-dot, co-dot, uk."
If you are serious then you need help.
Why would you prefix the dots? Is this some nerd IT problem?
What is annoying is calling them "dots", they are not just "dots".
"Other" people using "my" steam room 🙄
Councils who, while claiming to be environmentally aware, refuse entry to those who choose to walk/cycle to the tip with a small bag of rubbish but will let you in once you drive the 2 miles there and back.
The BBC self promoting programs on the bloody news
E.G run a story on x (x being an issue no one else as reported on that day as it's not bloody news) and they say something like "You can see more on this issue on program y tonight at 10 pm"
**** off no bloody commercials!
People... Not having the common courtesy to return a nod or "hello" when sharing common ground like out on the hill or the bike.

LOL roadies and MTBer's on morning commute, I always let on and they look at me as thought I've just told them they smell of shit 🙄
Parking on the road when u have a driveway.
l let you in once you drive the 2 miles there and back.
You need to drive there [b]and back [/b]before they let you in? Why not just drive there then hide round the corner for 10 minutes and tell them you've gone home and come back?
The BBC's insistence (and others) on suffixing dots in domain names rather than prefixing them. Eg, "for more information see our website at doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot, bbc-dot, co-dot, uk."
Why even bother with the "doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot" bit?
1.Everyone knows about it
2.Most browsers stick it in there for you any way if you miss it off
3.For something that's only 3 letter long, it takes far too long to say.
There are some www2. and www3. addresses out there
so you could have a www, www2 and www3 version of the same domain name?
Wonders how Cougar coped with Graham Dott's old website doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyoudotdottdotcom 😀
Ps the domain is now for sale
It's not done for .coms is it.
"monkeybusiness dot, com" sounds so wrong so why would they think
"monkeybusiness dot, co dot, uk" is OK.
Annoyingly, www.dotdot.com is not available.

This, this, and thrice this.

Buy them in 12 packs
Whistling at work. Just stf up and get on with your work. Even if you must whistle, don't just whistle a few bars then fade off before coming back into a different tune.
Parking on the road when u have a driveway.
The reluctance to type y and o, yet being happy to type w, a and y when not really necessary. 🙂
Buy them in 12 packs
I think you're missing the point. I wasn't after a solution. Having to buy batteries in packs of 12 when you only need 3, for a device where the batteries last about a year, is still annoying.

...never fails to annoy me.
Everything
Discuss.
No, chuff off you argumentative twonk.

Grrrrrrrrrr.......
If you are serious then you need help.
I do, I suffer from CDO.
Why would you prefix the dots? Is this some nerd IT problem?
Yes.
What is annoying is calling them "dots", they are not just "dots".
What are they then? RFC1034 (and many others) would disagree with you.
so you could have a www, www2 and www3 version of the same domain name?
Yep. You can have (almost) anything you like. There's no technical reason for "www" other than most people did it and it caught on. "Web" used to be popular in the early days too. Historically, it was the machine name of the web server. There's nothing to stop you from calling your web servers Dave and Brian, and having websites of dave.domain.com and brian.domain.com, other than people aren't used to it.
The BBC do this with some of their websites. If you go to news.bbc.co.uk for instance, it redirects to www.bbc.co.uk/news.
(edit - amusingly, not only do most people expect websites to start with www, so does the parser on this website...)

I often wonder if there is a set of magnets across the road that causes people to stop in just that point, 10 minutes after I posted the original comment a car parks there and goes into a house that has a space in front of their drive!!
Think about it your visiting someone why not park across their drive?? Your visiting them so if they are out you won't block them in & if they are in you are visiting them so they are not going to be blocked in are they!!
Sorry but it really winds me up (can you tell)
I have no idea what the hell you people are on about with the web addresses thing. 😕
That's a petty annoyance.
Women at work constantly talking about their diets. So what if you lost 2 pounds last week it's like throwing a deck chair off the titanic!
People with loud voices.
People on multiple thousand pound bling road bikes who insist on drafting me whilst I'm commuting on my Brompton. Some of the lazy ****ers will even stay there if I slow down do a crawl (as in barely moving) to let them go past. Really yanks my chain!
People parking with 2 wheels on the pavement, especially those who have a drive!
Programmes like country file that do a bit of a feature then stop it and tell you its continued later. They give you a teaser of what you will see.
Then later on before they continue it they recap what they have just shown less than an hour ago.
Just show us it all in one go.
Charlie Boorman programme was rendered unwatchable because of it.
What if your drive is already full of car?
It annoys me when I return my shopping trolley back to the parking shed thing to find other troll lies randomly dumped there. If you can actually arse yourself to get the trolley back there (as opposed to the even lazier b'stards that leave the damned things in the parking bays) then please have the sense to stack them in neat rows like they're designed for. I often feel compelled to sort them all out myself before I stack my own and then leave. Grrrrrrr!!!
Why do the big trollies have brakes on them, but the little ones don't? PITA when you turn round whilst loading the car only to find half of your shopping doing a Steve McQueen impersonation across the car park.
Programmes like country file that do a bit of a feature then stop it and tell you its continued later. They give you a teaser of what you will see.
I also hate that.
...to find out why, tune in to the thread later, when I explain why.
*launches trolley across car park in general direction of trolley bay
People who say or write 'methinks'.
I hate you.
So i gotta a lots of stuff I could of put on this list lol!!! Anyways, theirs one what is just like the worst? Yeah, so the penultimate annoyance is totally grammer nazis? Cheez, get a life looser, like halooo?
+1 for methinks
People who say "Yay!"
People who are always dicking about with their mobile phones.
The word 'Meal' (Actually more of a hatred than a petty annoyance)
The word 'Gent'
People
The position of a VW Touran seat height adjuster.
The fact that the TV remote is never put back.
Negative people.

Que?
People leaving the steam room door open...
Sorry, this is "petty annoyances," you seem to need "first world problems."
The word 'Gent'
Good thing you don't live there then... My favourite city!
Cougar, you have Collaborative Data Objects? Nasty...!
Que?
Exactly...
Motorists who don't remove Pay & Display tickets and drive around with them right In their line of vision on the windscreen.
Motorists who just turn the engine off when it's raining and don't let the wipers go back down to the normal position.
Self serve tills.
That woman's voice on the self serve tills.
Pets at home, always massive queues and staff just cuddling rabbits.
Argos, they have to press the computer thing to activate the voice that says " 361 to collection point A please " when they are stood right in front of you with your stuff in their hand and there is only you in the queue.
White Cars. Pricks the lot of them.
My parents tv remote control that is such a crappy design that the shape/weight of it means I always pick it up the wrong way round and press the wrong buttons 😡
White cars make it easy to spot the pricks, for that I'm grateful. Self service tills are great, no longer have to queue behind numpties who faff at the tills and take ages to pack (usually women and old folk)
Self service tills are great, no longer have to queue behind numpties who faff at the tills and take ages to pack (usually women and old folk)
The only problem is now you have the *insert extraordinary rude word here* idiots who roll up to the self service tills with a trolley full. Self service is fine if you just want to quickly buy a bottle of vodka and a box of tissues, but surely it's just easier to use the regular tills for a trolley load.
Self service tills are great
You've not used the ones at Morrisons have you? Objects of pure design failure, accentuated further by the task processing ability of a neurotic, schizophrenic and stoned relative of Jonny 5.
Very petty annoyance: Nice new cars with a full media centre/navigation unit glowing like KITT......... and a bloody Tomtom stuck to the windscreen.

Really expensive cars with crap bikes on them.
You're rich,buy something nice.
"London underground is operating a good service on all lines."
Good?
Service?
People who say prostrate instead of prostate.
Councils who, while claiming to be environmentally aware, refuse entry to those who choose to walk/cycle to the tip with a small bag of rubbish but will let you in once you drive the 2 miles there and back.
WTF are they playing at? What if you can't drive, or don't own a car? Are you supposed to get a fapping taxi there?!
Bristol City Council, I'm looking at you. You useless fappers.
The phrase "for free"
it's either free or for nothing
People who say prostrate instead of prostate.
They're the same people who say pacific when they mean specific
The way my daughter has started to finish every sentence with an upward inflection.
Buzz words at work such as 'drum beat', 'call out' and 'echo'
people who get back in the car at a petrol station and then adjust their mirror and faff, MOVE!!!, What the hell could have happened to your mirror in the 2 mins since you were last in it....
They're the same people who say pacific when they mean specific
For all intensive purposes, I agree.
It's not st pancreas station either you retarded spunk bubbles 👿
They're the same people who say pacific when they mean specific
Whilst they drink their 'expresso' no doubt
Really expensive cars with crap bikes on them.
You're rich,buy something nice.
I really like this actually. tragic to say that not a lot in the world makes me smile more than some smug oik in a gleaming white A6 with a couple of Argos bikes on a rack which is clearly trashing his paintwork.
I find having bikes worth more than your car creates "not having a telly" levels of smugness
It's not bombfire FFS
Nor is it skellington
Over-biked people. i.e.
Folk who drop >£2k on a roadie only to walk uphill on anything over 1 in 100.
Folk who drop >£2k on an 'all mountain' mtb only to walk downhill on the tricky stuff.
Personal reg plates.
And breathe...
