"We're expecting it" delivery updates from couriers. Four days after first getting the alert for a 48hr delivery order and still no changes....
Just send one alert to say you've got it and another to say it's on its way grumble grumble
Setting an example to which all other drivers should aspire
On that,
Why "no overnight parking" in the background there? What harm could that be causing? Gates are locked at 10:30pm, well that suits me just fine, I'll see you in the morning when you open up again.
This forum going on about Volvo’s, Marzocchi’s, Hope’s etc.
Arghh. There is no apostrophe needed unless you are saying “my Volvo’s (my Volvo is) red” for example.
Apologie's

Can I say this updated forum?
Just the once.... well done 😉
Idiots on ebikes, with off the lead dogs, who ride UP downhill trails. They can get in the effin sea.

The recent trend, at least around my area, for a photo of the estate agent on property For Sale signs.
It's unneccesary, vain and a pointless Americanism.
Sergeant 'pinned down' teenage soldier, inquest told
This. It makes by blood boil. The mitigation for failure to act appropriately in dealing with this incident and others would be laughable if the result wasn't so tragic.
I hope their failure haunt them and that accountability comes knocking soon enough.
I've been on the periphery of such incidents and will always be thankful that my unit did the right thing and made the right decisions to pursue properly and the system worked and jailed and/or discharged ****wits.
These people chose expedincy and convenience over doing the right thing.
Computer updates that give a percentage completed.
Fair enough, but if the percentage zooms up to 97% in 15 seconds, but then hangs at 97% for a minute, it's not really giving me a fair percentage of likely completion.
Well, it is in some ways, but you know what I mean.

It's like reporting you have done 97% of the painting. All you have to do it put the roller down and cut in around the edges

Who does that apart from my wife...cut in 1st then roller
Ist coat cut in then roller. Second coat roller then cut in to give the best finish
...we really should have worked out by now how to let people get fuel, go park up and then go to pay.
Or pay in advance, online even, fuel up and drive away to get change/online refund; you don't move your car, you don't get a refund. Saves fuel drive-offs too

... accompanied by a photo of an animal dressed in a 3-piece suit or pyjamas.
I have the utmost sympathy for someone who's lost a pet, I've probably shed more tears over animals than people over the years. But for ****'s sake, some people just need to get laid.
If the little ****er has got his whistle and flute on, he's dressed for crossing the rainbow bridge when he gets mangled in someone's front wheel. Particularly if he's a little white fluffy effort. Bleeuurrrghhhh!
I don't like change.
Grumpy people on shared use paths that think they have right if west over everyone else.
My fur baby has just as much right to wander about the path as any one else, especially as he looks so dapper in his whistle and flute 😎
With respect, that’s not what the Highway Code says about your fur baby.
Could be, I literally just slung some words together without thinking about what they meant.
The wonders of social media introduced me to ****ernomics this evening - I suspect it will strongly resonate.
The accountant in my (very small) company not letting me sign up to a Cycle to Work scheme! 🤬 🤬
The identikit retail parks across the land. Filled with the same beige fast food drive throughs and shops. Each one, indistinguishable from the next.
Character and individuality is dying and nobody cares.

To be fair, even I can tell McDonald's from Next
Recently various digital advertising signs have gone up around the town which seem to project more lumens than a dusk till dawn MTB race start line.

Second that - there's one round our way that just brings up a little sick every time I see one of their signs.
I must take a sharpie with me so I can draw some glasses and a 'tache on the next one I see.
When one of these bad-boys rocks up on your street!...

Yeah man. There's some massive distracting digital billboards on the M6 between junction 9 and the big RAC building.
So distracting. Not sure how that's allowed on a busy motorway to be honest.
The fact that I can't find neither the Trump nor the Tate thread to post this absolutely disgusting attempted interference
BBC News - US must not interfere in Tate's case, say alleged victims

What makes me even more annoyed is their name which obviously must be ironic. See also various quasi govt departments and thinktanks which have a name which means the diametric opposite of what they are trying to achieve such as The European Research Group and Dept of Govt Efficiency.

There's a quote from the former Prince Charles about this from the '90s ... it's been around for a while.
In 2000 I briefly worked on a project under the banner of Design Yorkshire looking at developing principles for distinctive localised retail parks. Brief, because the professor I was working under was arrested for fraud and disappeared overnight.
Wonky number plates, it shouldn't wind me up as much as it does.
Reviewing things you haven’t even opened or plugged in yet. I’m shopping for kitchen appliances and DNGAF about the anticipation or enthusiasm you have for the thing you just bought. Tell me in six months how much you love or hate it when you’ve been scalded or electrocuted cos of a shit design.
Argos also guilty. No Auntie Jean, you can’t give a ****ing five star rating for the gift that hasn’t yet been given.
"Right wing activists"
Surely an oxymoron?

+1 to that. See also:
"Only 2* because the box was broken"
"Changed my mind and returned it unopened, seller gave refund, 5*"
"Changed my mind and returned it unopened, seller didn't respond after 30 seconds, 1*"
"1* it doesn't work because [reason that shows it's clearly a faulty one]"
"1* it doesn't work because [reason that shows I clearly don't know how to use it]"
Is the concept of a product review really that hard to grasp?
Reviewing things you haven’t even opened or plugged in yet.
I get emails from Amazon asking me to review my upcoming product. Based on what, exactly?
That's as annoying as the restaurant I went to where you pay on ordering by app at your table asking me how much I want to tip
