People who don't read the instruction for anything they buy (and tend to be vocal about how this makes them superior). Not making yourself aware of how to get the best out of something you've paid good money for makes you an idiot not the opposite.
You wash the first dish in clean water.
Ah, you need to use Fairy Liquid then!
Safety matches, are they safe due to the fact the never light
Give us back Scottish bleubelle or swan vests that have a strip of sandpaper
When you carefully make your empty crisp packet folded triangle and it pops back open onto the floor. Twice. Twiglet dicks.
Ruined my lunchbreak if I'm honest.
The McCoys one knows how to play the game.

I think I see the problem here.
More perplexed than cross - why do so many people refer to MS Teams as TEAMS. Do they think it's an acronym? Are they feeling shouty? Is it to distinguish from the normal use of the word teams?
It's because the mere thought of being forced to use TEAMS causes almost uncontrollable rage. So not so much shouting as screaming into the void.

Having just bought a 23 plate Octavia to replace our 65 plate Octavia, whyTF do I need to stop and pull over to safely change any function using the touchscreen?
Changing broadband suppliers from talk talk crap to Vodafone who I've had a mobile phone contract for over 12 years yet this old Yorkshire man on the phone repeatedly kept asking the same questions and did a credit check 3x for a £22 for 24 months
I told him so many times no extras to be added on but did he listen, so many times I was told the expected speeds and asked if I had a pen and paper for my new landline I don't need just send it by email
It was like a Noel Edmonds crank call from way back and an hour and 22 mins of my time

There's a simple solution to that.
People who dress dogs up for their own entertainment or amusement. I'm not talking about putting a body warmer on an elderly or skinny dog that feels the cold, or some other genuine reason which benefits the dog's welfare. I'm talking about "cutesy" costumes for "fur babies" at Halloween, Christmas etc. However much you try to convince yourself the poor mutt "enjoys it" he/she doesn't. You're doing it for you, not the poor animal - buy a doll instead if you want to dress stuff up! It's demeaning, borderline cruel, anthropomorphic bollox. Double dick points if you post the pics on Instagram.
That whistle used by a certain red and yellow logoed fast food outlet and litter source. It's almost patronising the core market.

I love that I don't know what this means.
You have no power – They have all of your data and all of your money, they have all the power.
I hate that... Want to pay normal price? Give us your data!
I just use a key fob that belongs to my mate.. I get to pay normal price.. He's getting free points when I use it.
And we both take great pleasure knowing we are messing with their algorithms and data harvesting.
AI, and the way it's forced on you...
Case in point... i've been using swift key as a keyboard on my phone as it's pretty good... but now I have 'microsoft Deep search' pop up all the frigging time, not only is it very annoying...if I dismiss it.. it will pop back up again and take up space on my keyboard, there doesn't seem to be any way to disable it....
swiftkey used to be the best ,and now it's just slurping data...and.I hate it.
Anyone know any decent android keyboards?
The excessive touch operation in the new Transit Connect. I guess it’s a VW system.
What is wrong with a dial for music volume and heater control? If you must make it a touch thingy, light the poxy thing up so I can see it in the dark.
That and the mileage trip. I have to log mileage each day, not mileage from fill up, not mileage since engine start. It’s one of the most basic easy things on every other vehicle. The old one even had two easily reset trip counters.
So I have to do maths each morning. I do not want to do maths at 6am or cock around with invisible buttons.
Washing the dishes, getting started as the sink fills when the tap jet catches something at a mad angle, sending the previously benign stream shooting off everywhere but the sink…
****ed if I know, how would I even find that out? It’ll be seven levels deep in a menu somewhere.
I expect mileage and trip to be just there.
Couldn’t give a toss about radio station picture, picture of the car in front, compass or even mirroring the satnav in the instrument display. There’s a massive screen to the left for crap I really don’t need to know.
Oh, trip is there. I know how many miles I've done since I last (ahem) tripped over the reset control by accident, but not total mileage.
We’ve had my parents and now my mother-in-law visiting this half term and all of them have left hot taps dribbling water. They’ve done many other annoying things but this one really gets me. One of them let the bath/shower hot tap on enough to make the combo boiler heat it. FFS what is wrong with these people!

To be fair, unless it’s mine I often don’t know or care what year a vehicle I’m driving was produced or released. I suspect I’m not the only one.

Helium filled party balloons. “I think I’ll celebrate by wasting a valuable resource and littering at the same time”.Fished 2 out of hedges so far this week, and got designs on a 3rd.
This.
They are left to fly gloriously through the air, mostly from built up areas and float right into the countryside causing problems for wildlife, livestock, farmers. These things need to be banned. A few minutes of ooooh how lovely and then into landfill, if not let off to litter.
Apologies if I mentioned this months ago, but engine idling. In Derbyshire now there are a few new signs up, which is a start.
Yesterday hubby and I cycled on our tandem to the nearest town (in Derbyshire) with panniers, did our shopping and cycled home. Meanwhile a chap in his stupidly huge car is sitting with the engine running, eating his fish and chips. There are babies in buggies, small children and old people on disability scooters all close to where his fumes are pouring out. I wasn't brave enough to knock on the window as he looked a bit scary.
Nincompoop.
People who have to park in the space next to you then struggle to get out of their car when the car park is almost empty.
This. ****ing bellends.
Able bodied people who stop walking on the Tesco travelator or any other escalator, especially irritating if it’s the downward journey and they block the whole thing. It doesn’t take much effort to move your legs when going downhill so why are you delaying me?

Being married to someone who puts dishes in the sink, then turns the tap on, doesn't clear up the resulting layer of water on the worktop and then seems surprised the next time it happens. Every ****ing time.
Being married to someone who doesn't tell you that they've booked a week off work in December to visit some European christmas market so when you go to add something to the calendar for yourself you unexpectedly find yourself being the responsible adult of the house for that week...
Being married, frankly...
Apart from "Good job it was a quiet day at Southwaite Services" I can't think of anything not rude to say about this

For sure both Trip and Odometer are there, they just changed the names to Total distance and Long term distance, as far as I can tell.
I’m less annoyed about it now, however the heater and volume controls are craptastic.
FedEx's new billing website.
People who come to work on site without even their own frikkin pencil ffs, then leave offcuts on the saw every single time they use it and put gripfill covered things and all sorts of crap on every single horizontal surface that you've set up as a workstation and sling their car in the middle of the large drive, blocking it without a thought to all the other people that need to fit in and constantly drop their guts in the room you're working in.
Aaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhh!
I'm ok. I've just executed him with the pencil I lent him.
Help desk that contacts me during my night so that they can put the "wait time" on me. When they finally contact me, they haven't read the case notes, do all the same things as every previous person than say they will escalate within the team. Rinse and repeat every day for 3 weeks.
If only I had an admin user id! All that needs to be done it to uninstall VBA completely and reinstall from scratch. (not my choice to use VBA, I use a terminal emulator that relies on it) (and the terminal emulator is rubbish but we're not allowed to use the good one that we used to have from a German vendor because having fewer but worse emulators is better)

To be fair, it looks like it was a quiet day. If the car park was near capacity I'd have more sympathies.

How locked down is the PC? Stick PuTTY on a pendrive?
Stick PuTTY on a pendrive?
My toddler did that once. I wouldn't recommend it.
(Yes, I know what you really mean 😉 )
PuTTY doesn't support 6530 block mode so not an option sadly
