unimportant things that annoy you

Here's one: the use of the word "cyber" on the news.

"anonymous" being cyber-criminals. Police officers being "cyber-detectives". "cyber-security" being oh-so important in an era of "cyber-attacks".

Argh! Stop it! You're supposed to be serious newsreaders.

I just needed to get that off my chest. I know you guys will understand

'Unimportant things that annoy you' threads are unimportant things that annoy me. :mad:

People who keep saying "I'm gutted". For gods sake you’re not being prepared for cooking. Oh and threads like this.

Such a tragic waste.

Me: Chavs
Things not working first time.
Not having Internet.
No signal.
Incorrect use of language.

Jenny: 3 pronged forks

People who don't indicate.
Having to get out of bed to turn the light off.
Posters falling down.

And we both hate people who decide it's a good idea to set off a fire extinguisher at an afterparty all over the entire kitchen.

Network Support Teams

Vegitarians,

People moving my keyboard and monitor from there dust surrounded locations,

Women who complain about unimportant stuff like "why I don't want to cuddle with her" (Because I'm doing something else that I deem more important and or interesting than cuddle that may or may not lead to sex)

Women who ask you to do unimportant stuff like the washing up right at the exact moment your in the middle of your favourite tv show, because everyone know if you don't do it right at that exact time, the world will end.

People who drive at 20-25 mph in a 30
People who drive at 45 on the motorway
Wait, just people that drive slow!

People who say, I'm open minded, and then complain about something

Chavs
Chavs who say innit
Wait, anyway who say's innit

Oh and kids TV not being as good as it was in the 80's! (I HAVE THE POWER!)

Maybe I'm just a bitter and easily aggrovated....

Customer assistants who don't have a clue, any who work in technology shops especially.

RomanNose · 3 Feb 2012 at 17:49

Me:
Slow walkers
People who think it's fine to argue with their friends
People with no manners
DRM
People who sit near the edge of a swimming pool and expect not to get wet
People standing in the middle of corridors.
Heavy doors
Foul language
My mum on Sunday evening.

I quite like it when they use "cyber" on the news/articles. Its a quick and simple way of flagging up that journalist doesn't know enough about technology, or they are using it ironically.

Good point. Anyone in that *****hole called Pieceofpaperusedfordirections-lins.

People who get ridiculously annoyed over 'unimportant things', tbh.

Plastic! Especially food wrapping of all kinds! The kind that always does the complete opposite of what you want it to do! The outer plastic packaging of multi-pack crisps is particularly infuriating - the way you scrunch it up into a small handful and then try chucking it in the bin, but no matter how quickly you try to do this, it always expands at the speed of light - and if you are lucky enough to get it in the bin, there is no room for anything else!!!!!

Even though I don't drive, I too, agree with non-indicators.

But yeah, petty yet annoying things for me:

- Shop-bought salad dressing. Nope, have to be homemade for me.
- i-shaped potato peelers. I find the Y-shaped peelers a lot more productive because you're peeling inwards, towards you.
- Microsoft mice. Nah, have to be a symmetrical mouse for me.
- "Is it a PC or a laptop?", similar to "Is it an iPod or MP3 player?", similar to "Is it an iPad or a tablet?"
