Microsoft.
If I wanted to open spreadsheets or documents in teams or SharePoint I would uninstall Word and Excel!
And then it goes "but for best results..." and sends you to the full-fat app anyway.
I blame Adobe. That's where the 'browser plug-in' rot set in.
Teams is the worst.
"We've opened this spreadsheet you might want to keep open for an extended period and refer to regularly. What's that? You want to discuss the spreadsheet with someone on teams *sucks teeth* sorry mate can't help you wait another two minutes while it loads in the desktop app"
I am not one to suffer such nonsense so I googled and you CAN change the default opening of files in teams... To browser.
I think I would rather try and get an amstrad to talk to a dotmatrix printer.
It’s not obvious from the picture, what’s the issue?
its still an enfield

It is obvious from the picture. You don't see the whacking great ugly bulges?
Black month? 😭😭😭
When people in uniform (cops/mils) pull their jacket sleeves down over their hands.
Put on some gloves you utter shower of shite, you're not 5 and at school.
Cops are the worst for it.
The Covid inquiry.
Probably doesn't help that I have just been listening to Patrick Grant on Desert Island Discs
An excellent episode BTW,with some great tunes,but the part where he talks about the PPE scandal and losing his Dad during Covid.
It had me in tears,and then to an anger level that can't be healthy.
Valid anger, but not not disproportionate!
The ass hats at Direct Line.
No auto renew on my policy, stated as such on the welcome letter and the renewal quote, ***** auto renewed 24hrs before policy ended, no paperwork, nothing, the only reason I know is my credit card account is set to notify me of any charges against it.
Your son not being picked for his rugby team despite other players who haven't made a tackle or entered a ruck in 3 seasons being picked just because they are bigger and fatter and lazier.....
People who, after a lengthy explanation, say "I know"
****wits, the lot of them.
The "singing" checkout woman at our local supermarket.
Keeps on randomly bursting into snippets of song a bit like Lesley Flipping Garrett, heavy on the vibrato like Vic Reeves in the pub singer round.
So annoying.
The constant ‘What waterproof jacket for going out in the rain’ threads
The constant ‘What trousers/pants for riding my bike in’ threads
The constant ‘Why does my Goretex jacket leak’ threads
Overall, I’m impressed when the Apple Watch
This, I believe, is truly in the spirit of the thread title. Watches that don’t have a round face make me angry. Totally irrational and stupid but they do. Therefore Apple Watches can **** right off and I’ll be keeping my Garmin even if it is impossible to purchase a strap that isn’t completely shit.
Greenwash. I am heartily sick of it. Makes me really angry when people are making claims for highly co2 intensive and high energy consumption things being touted as green
People who wait for the gates to shut at the train station barrier before they put their ticket in.
Footballers spitting on the floor of the tunnel heading out to the pitch. Scruffy twastards. 🤬
People driving in the dark with either no lights on or just the DRLs on the front, Ticketmaster, Tyres that just wont chuffing seat even with the Airshot.
Those stupid lunchboxes on the outside of new defenders - every cockwomble who has one should be forced to install a defibrillator in them, then at least they would serve a purpose when parked outside Waitrose
People on bike forums who say a component or something comes in x ‘flavour’.
Twee portmanteau insults.
People that say fud, ruff and rum for food, roof and room.
Footballers spitting on the floor of the tunnel heading out to the pitch.
At what point does the floor of the tunnel become the ground of the pitch? Does it change if the tunnel has one of those retractable roofs?
Does it change if the tunnel has one of those retractable
roofsruffs?
FTFY
I had a dream I was doing that the other day.
Walking round Tesco tanning boiled eggs wouldn't have been my first choice.
Having Nigel Farage pop up on my Facebook feed, and only being able to snooze the **** for thirty days.
Where is the option to ratchet strap him to my bonnet, wrap him in raw steak and drive through a safari park lion enclosure?

South African Facebook?
When the dog runs into the back of your legs sending you over like a skittle first thing in the morning. Especially when it curtails riding plans for the day and it's lovely and sunny.
Speaking of ATMs, some of them are really slow between people. Infuriating.
Especially the Halifax one for paying in, good grief. Card comes out, next person walks up, has to stand there about 10 minutes for the machine to stop thinking and be ready to accept the next card.
And the one at the local Asda with the slightly broken card slot, which spits out your card at snail pace. Standing there watching it inch its way back out of the slot bit by bit with a grinding noise until there's enough to grab hold and pull is enough to make you scream.
I think that's just ASDA cashpoints, the one local to me is the same.
My wife and her family being seemingly unable to manage to set up a three way video call. They've been doing this every week for 2.5 years and every week my mother-in-law somehow screws it up. Neither of the daughters seem to be able to just do it in her place.
I just don't understand, I manage to use Teams/Zoom/Meet multiple times each day at work with no problems. Doesn't directly affect me, it's just incredibly frustrating.
or we all unwittingly live in the same place, because it’s the same at my local Asda too.
Do they have those green sticky-out bits on the card slot too, which make it really $%^&ing awkward if you're left-handed?
Being unable to set up a three way with my wife also makes me disproportionately cross….video or no video
Barriers at the station - especially the ones where the computer says no. (Return from Dunblane always was an issue at Waverley and I often had to get moving to get the onward train). It was great when they were taken out in the 1980s.
Making an offer on ebay, I accept, and THEN you start asking questions about the item to see if you actually want it. No mate, you've actually already bought it, now pay up you low feedback count chancer.
Hiya,
Guys with Noise Cancelling earphones, that walk in the middle of cycle paths, and don't hear my bicycle bell. Then when you finally get past them, they look at you as if you have the problem...
JeZ
Tesla and Range Rover headlights.
Them folk who dig out a crusty old bed sheet, spray paint 'happy 40th Dave' on it, go to the local pedestrian flyover, attach it to the railings.... then don't bother to take it down after Dave has had the birthday of his life.
Also see any signs/banners for events or festivals that are still up months after the event.
You made the effort to put them up, make the bloody effort to take them down again!
oh and after riding the Downs Link yesterday, folks that look at you like you have sodomized their gerbil, just because you would like 1/10th of the SHARED path for you to cycle past them on (at a sensible and civil pace, after shedding 95% of your speed, cos you know, you aint a dick).
Cops are the worst for it
Fat cops who look like they've dressed in the dark in clothes that are either 3-4 sizes too small for their giant lardy arses or shapeless sacks that are creased and make them look like bin men/women. I mean, I know that modern cops uniforms are all about the utility these days, but getting trousers that fit you (even if you're 5'6" and close on 18 stone) shouldn't be that hard, surely? There goes the 'majesty of the law' hitching up its strides as they waddle betwixt car to Greggs with barely a glance for anything but pastie

I'm sure it won't be too difficult to find an accommodating guy to help with that.

Don't have kids, eh?
Well being a parent I can tell you that A) we enjoy this situation just as much as you do, but with added embarrassment and B) "controlling" a screaming child who is in a strange situation making them overexcited, overtired, nervous or scared (or all at once) is just as easy as refraining from hitting the insufferable bar steward 2 seats over who is tutting and sighing and rolling their eyes.
There, that's my disproportionate anger for the day out of the way 🙂
Some adverts have been getting to me.
1. Nissan electric car ones! "Who said excitement isn't the new progression to living gracefully?" - "Who said electricalness wasn't the best thing since sliced facial features?" - "Who said money doesn't grow out of bees anuses?" - NO-one! NobODY Ever said any of THSOE ****ING THIngs!! SHUT UP!
2. Welsh throbber advertising some comparison site. Trying to turn the annoying git into a celebrity. Please go away
3. LG fridge... please tell me nobody on earth has ever needed a fridge that lights up so they can stare inside without opening the bloody door!
there are more but I'm too annoyed to think of them

Scratches magic door fridge off list of "things to buy when I've won the lottery..." 😬

Good advice.

Disproportionately crossmaking: people in supermarkets who open glass freezer doors in order to look what's inside.
Donating blood. I love the NHS but why does evrry donation session have to involve Classic Hits FM at 500 decibels so you can't hear anything the staff say and there are ads every 30 seconds? The music these days is just noise, you can't hear the words etc etc...
Myself for not being able to understand why people don't answer the questions you ask them when they have asked for help to debug a problem. I often ask questions to eliminate what the cause isn't but that is clearly confusing so they tell me something else instead. Drives me mad but it's not their fault

I doubt I'll bother again after my last visit, it was like the Spanish inquisition...
What blood type is it?
Who's blood is it?
Why is it in a bucket?
I see what you did there. But the clue is in the name 'god'father.
I cremated my mum recently. (Well, not personally.) Any bloke in a frock present would have been a lifestyle choice. These ceremonies are what people choose.
I see what you did there. But the clue is in the name ‘god’father.
I think many people, especially 50 years ago, perhaps nominated people close to them but unrelated, more out of recognition of that closeness and a sense of tradition, rather than devout faith in a deity. My parents have never been religious but myself and my two siblings all had godfathers/mothers.
Kind of like picking a best man, but for your baby, and someone who might stand a chance of being responsible should the worst happen.
These ceremonies are what people choose.
Indeed, I fully respect that, and that is my proportionate side.
My disproportionate side however, would much rather just hear about his life without the frequent plugging of the big man.
@ossify,We made sure our
kids were old enough to understand that they were going on a completely new experience before we took them on an airplane and that they would have to sit in one place for a few hours. But then if you want to drag young kids on a plane before they are ready so you can have a holiday that's up to you
the frequent plugging of the big man.
... or woman.
@sargey, we took our son on a plane at six months so that his grandmother could meet him before dementia took too great a hold of her, not exactly a holiday.
I have a pretty special photo of my oldest kid aged nine months, being held by his great grandma the only time she met him. The biggest smile on her face. 24 hours of flight time to enable that one meeting.
Couldn't give a **** what anyone else on the plane thought.
I think something has disproportionately irked reeksy 😛
People who complain about young children on a flight. If you want peace and quiet while flying you should have worked harder and taken your corporate jet. It's public transport FFS.
4 way temporary traffic lights with about a ten minute cycle on the way to drop the car off for an MOT this morning. <br /> <br />what’s worse is I know I’ll have to go back through them later to get the car from that industrial estate.
Drivers speeding
Drivers parking their vehicle on the pavement.
Hmm, two for the price of one
Oh and "cyclists dismount" signs on cycleroutes. WTF - they have no legal standing at all and are a sign of a badly designed cycle route
Screaming kids on aeroplanes and parents who can’t control said kids
Kids cry and are annoying. You were a kid once. You cried and annoyed people once. Soon you'll be dead. Circle of life, mate. Get over it

i cant remember exactly where it was, some internal flight in the US. i got sat next to a mother with two small children, one on her lap, one in the seat next to me. it was a full flight.
once everyone has boarded, she asked me very nicely if I'd mind swapping with her husband, who was sat on his own, much further up the plane. she thought I was a charming english gentleman for agreeing, he looked proper pissed off when I tapped him on the shoulder and told him. I think he'd booked a seperate seat deliberately...
🤣 Oh, I do hope so.

I'll remember that next time I'm halfway over the Atlantic, when I blaze up a joint and drop some phat beatz at full volume on my phone.

Speeding whilst parked is impressive. Does the limit say "reverse only"? 😁
People saying 'bless you' when I sneeze.
I sneeze a lot, stop blessing me, I don't want to be blessed.
drivers, mostly lorry drivers, that move into the outside lane, doing 60, to let car drivers coming in on a slip lane just drive on. you're supposed to give way on a slip lane, not have everyone slow down to 45 just to let you carry on. outside lane is for overtaking, not seeing how many slow drivers you can make way for
and while youre at it, outside lane is not for lorry drivers to drive alongside each other for 5 miles, and pretend their overtaking. Theyre still going to be in the same queue for the same ferry in 5 hours time
Let car drivers get on with their journey 70 is not 50
Cars doing pointless overtakes when you are on your bike. I m doing 16 mph, the speed limit is 20 and 200 yards ahead is a queue of cars at a set of traffic lights. I'm going to pass that whole line of cars before the lights change, you are going to be behind the same car. Just effing why bother. Petrol wasting fuds
to let car drivers coming in on a slip lane just drive on. you’re supposed to give way on a slip lane
Slightly different take on the same issue, people joining from a slip onto, say a motorway... not matching the speed of the traffic on the motorway and expecting a space to be made for them, either speed up or slow down and fall in line.. there is litterally a give way line on entry!
It is not for the people already on the motorway to create a gap for you! They may pull into the middle lane if it helps the general flow, but don't expect it, as they might be in the process of being overtaken also, which would make it an unsafe move. Learn how to read the road!
People saying ‘bless you’ when I sneeze.
The word is that if you say 'thank you' to their 'bless you' a fairy dies.
Fat cops
Fair. Same with fat squaddies, absolute messes.
On the blood trip, fricking blood type patches and/or tattoos. A fad that medics ignore because rules.
Cars doing pointless overtakes when you are on your bike.
It's not just bikes, I got overtaken in my car in a 30 zone when I slowed down slightly for a speed bump.
Some twunt in a Q7 with tinted windows, they didn't gain anything, as predicted the lights changed to red about 100 yards further on... they did lose about £3 in fuel and 6 months wear on thier tyres in the space of about 5 seconds, though. Slow clap for that one!
Ohhh - I have been known to overtake cars slowing for speed bumps when on my bike. Some of the bigger ones make nice wee jumps.
Just me being childish
