Just frikkin compose a single message containing all of your thoughts and send it as a whole will ya ffs! Then I don't get 73 beeps notifying me of a new sentence!
Another one on the food front that drives me mad – my wife will buy some random thing (let's say 'sweet potato', as this is the current thing currently lurking in the fridge) then, when I ask about it, she'll say 'I fancy doing something with sweet potato'. She has no idea *what* to do with it (as I do most of the cooking), it gets left there and forgotten about, then she buys another (yes – we currently have two huge sweet potatoes in the fridge). I could use some in a Thai curry at the weekend, but with the amount we have, I could invite everyone from STW around for dinner 😂
Invite John Doe, he can bring ice cream for dessert.
Today's annoyance - people who weren't taught to either eat or talk. Ramming food into your cakehole then attempting to keep jabbering on is not pleasant for those around you.

johndoh IS John Doe 😉 It's the nickname vs username thing with the quotes.
STW meetup time! Thai curry and ice cream for everyone round at John's place tonight!

Same goes for Teams at work
In fact, I'll add people who send a Teams message that just says "Hi". You're getting ignored until you tell me what you want.

Stick this in your profile: https://nohello.com - won't stop some people, but you can take the moral high ground 🙂

Well that's made me cross

Now I know why my Teams messages are never replied to!
Photos of bikes or people with bikes on the socials but the bike has been pixelated or scribbled over because it’s ’Top Secret’ or not released yet!
if it’s not for public to see then don’t take a flucking picture of it then. Nobody gives a shit your riding a prototype or for a new team etc. do one.
Right now my patchy lawn is making me cross.
Why is "anytime" one word but "every time" two? I get it wrong every !"£$%^&ing time.
Just add a steel insert to one spline like Novatec, Bitex and others do. It won't cost either the earth or a Strava PB
Could be wrong here but I think Bitex have patented that, and Novatec are just in "getting away with it" territory by virtue of being chinese and much bigger than bitex. For a long time their official channels didn't bring any of the ABG freehubs into the UK.

Delivery drivers seem to take this approach now. They reply to my greeting but say nothing further, head down fiddling with their little gadget staring at the parcel between their feet while I just stand there, not very patiently, on the verge of asking "well, what the **** do you want?"
Zyrofisher, it took SRAM about 5 minutes to warranty my cranks back in early Feb but guess who just don't have any in stock. Yep, the UK supplier of all things SRAM. Maybe get them by mid may.
The general public.
How they could vote for that fascist grifters party after the problems brexit has caused, especially given the lies they told, annoys the utter fk out of me.
Although it will be like Trumps voters. Many of them live in poverty and rely on social benefits, but voted in someone who will(and has) cut their meager incomes.
Farage will do the same. Cut social spending to enable tax cuts for the rich, leaving his core voters in a worse situation.
They/he will continue to blame immigrants for all the ills, but will move on to the unemployed and disabled as the next group of scapegoats.

i think youve misread the title of this thread. your anger is not disproportionate, its entirely justified 😉
Pens. They never work,If you buy a 6pack, one will work, then you can never find it
Trail cams- They work until you put them outside-You spend half an hour to figure where to put them and they wont get spotted, and while youre putting it up and camouflaging it,loads of people appear from nowhere and you have to hide from them. Then, if you remembered to turn it on, and if its pointing the right way,and you have a SD card that works, the batteries wont work. Even though you tested it all out last night. And if they ever did all you ever get is 100 videos of a mouse stealing the peanuts
Oh how i hate batteries
Escaped goats.
Enjoying a sociable pootle at the back of an audax event only to find that the 70 riders in front of you have cleared the cafe control out of cake.
Still, the chips and loaded nachos were absolutely amazing
And I have lost my good watering can. No idea where it went, but it has vanished out the garden, not in the sheds.
Annoying in itself, but I have woken up on a Sunday with nothing planned and realised I need to go to a garden centre to buy a new watering can,. I'm only 56. I'm too young to need to go to a garden centre on a Sunday morning, I'm not ready for this!
"ENDING SOON!!"
Good, perhaps then you'll stop sending me mithering emails on a daily basis. But we both know you won't, don't we.
I always nag my OH to shut the fridge door.
"im just using the butter"
FFS, close it while youre using it, then open it again to return it?
Am I mad? its not a cupboard, youre just wasting energy
Went to a friends house t'other weekend. She had the fridge door open through the whole cooking process, including chopping veg, wandering off to wash a pan, setting the table.
"im cooking".
WT actual F?
^ Agreed ^
It's the same when they open the oven to get the chicken/casserole/roast tatties/whatever out, in order to stir the pot or rearrange the potatoes. Oven door left wide open through the whole process, temp drops 20°, oven then spends several mins getting back up to temp. And repeat. Bonkers.

I ordered some prescription riding glasses from Goggles4U and the next day they sent me an email telling me I've been specially selected to get my last chance, twenty four hour only, when they're gone they're gone, additional savings over sale price, mega offer. They've sent me the same mail every day in the two years since. To be honest it weirdly makes me me smile, I think I kind of admire the sheer brazenness of it
Badly-designed hotel bathrooms.
Minimalist, sparkly chrome and LED lights. So minimalist that there isn't a towel rail or even a single hook
Shower tray without a screen and (you guessed it) nowhere to put the shower head when you're not using it. I want a screen so that I can find my way to the loo in the dark without falling over the shower tray; it turns out that is as likely to wake MrsBa as turning the sparkly LEDs on
The washbasin is just that, built without any additional shelves, worktop, etc.
Perfect for two people who have to move every damp thing back to the equally sparse room, thankfully only for a couple of nights

Butter? In the fridge?....
Monsters, the pair of you.
Cold plates . I don't get it . Spend time and effort in cooking eg a roast dinner. Place all the carefully prepared and cooked veg , gravy , Yorkshire puddings etc in to stone cold china . Which you then carry to the table and serve on to stone cold dinner plates.
It's not salad , or dessert. Things are available for heating plates and dishes to at least hand hot temperature. Doesn't need to be furnace temperature.
Just spoils the experience imo.

On that note, people who slice steaks up before serving to make it look fancy... now I've got to eat cold steak, you pillock 🤡

My fridge screams if it notices a temperature drop.
I'm guilty of this to a degree (ahem, sorry) if I'm getting a drink or some such. It's the work of seconds to tip cola into a glass and put the bottle back in.

On this note: toast racks. WhoTF thought "we've got this nice fresh hot toast, how can we turn it into stone cold roofing material as rapidly as possible"?
Was there some sort of fetish for cold toast in Victorian days?
Toast is like McDonalds fries, if its not consumed within 60s of being done, it may aswell go in the compost bin, or turn it into crootons if you are posh.
Cold plates . I don't get it
Not that this makes me cross, but as an aside... my dad spent 25-odd years living & working in Hong Kong, before it was handed back to the Chinese govt. He said once that he'd spent a lot of that time (mainly when eating out, obviously) trying to persuade/inveigle/train a number of restaurants into the habit of serving hot food on warm plates. He gave up.
Toast is a tricky one in our house. I like my toast hot enough to melt the butter and not burned. She liked the toast cold enough not to melt butter and considers my idea of toast to be warm bread. I don’t like my toast to shatter…
More in keeping with the thread, when the toaster is slightly too small for the toast and it burns the bit that has slightly folded over.
That and emptying the crumbs from the little hatch incredibly carefully, plonk it on the sideboard, more crumbs. Every single time.

Keep the toaster on a tray. No more problem, crumbs easy to deal with.
Donald Trump’s random capitalisation of words in his tweets. I can live with (and actually quite enjoy) the fact that he’s destroying the USA and its global reputation, and that the people who voted for him are at the sharp end of his policies. But the unnecessary turning of ordinary words into proper nouns is doing my head in.

The Warburton's toastie loaf is cardinal sinner for this. I lop off the top half inch before toasting. My partner toasts it vertically so the top quarter is warm bread.

The incorrect use of aswell. Do you mean as well or a swell?
In the toast neighborhood.
Warburtons 'Thick' Toastie
Thick my arts.
I reckon it's under 10mm. Nothing more than poxy medium to me.
It irritates me that their small toastie and the large toastie are different thicknesses. Pick one.
