Hah I forgot I had an SA account. Haven't visited it in years.
This made me laugh far louder than it should have. Thank you.
They are being friendly and waving at you.

Some pet peeves from me...
- flaky people, who pull out at short notice
- politics. Why does everything nowadays have to be politicised?
- customers calling tech support and customer support who beat around the bush. Just spit it out!
- buses without the heating on when it's -2C outside, yet is on when it's +18C outside
- the Microsoft Office ribbon, which got introduced in 2007. I still can't get my head around it!
I have WhatsApp and Signal, but they're largely across 2 groups of people. WhatsApp = family. Signal = friends. Not dictated by me, it's just how it worked out in the end. It's good because if I do a mis-tell, it won't be cross-platform. So chances are I'll be sending the mis-tell to another friend instead of Mum. It's less embarrassing that way!

Smiths was bought by Pepsi who own Walkers and the brand was phased out in favour of the Walkers branding.
That & Gary Lineker are two good reasons to avoid Walkers then.
Was just about to say I’ll stick with Ruffles and Lays but they’re Pepsi owned too <facepalm/>

You've just reminded me of a pet peeve - the type of person that says to me "what.....?!" when I tell them I've only ever seen one Harry Potter movie and not read any of the books
. It's not by accident I tell them.Mine would be the mother in law just in general but her inability to read something on the screen and complain its complicated or doesn't work. Also people who feel the need to have a phone call in public on speakerphone, I mean why on earth do you do it.
Scammers and cold callers via phone or door knocking.
The door knocking sets my dog off going crazy, most of them are canvassing charities etc, I already give monthly to a few by direct debit, thinking of getting a 'no cold callers' sign for the front door.
Been dipping my toe into online dating recently, 66% seem dodgy....'yeh you're the 1, let's just take this chat to whatsapp (etc) in case of a (insert excuse here) so I can (scam u easier)'.
Edit : another 1 - neighbours who constantly aren't in to collect parcels meaning the delivery driver is regularly asking me to take parcels in. I'm fine doing it now and again but with our next door neighbour it's happening a lot, nowadays we have a good idea of when a parcel will arrive, there's no excuse to be constantly missing them, she's retired she could be in to collect them.

Asda puttting the sliced pepperoni in packets the wrong way around, relative to the opening tab.
If you know, you know.

Same thing happens to me when I say I've only watched half a Star Wars film.You've just reminded me of a pet peeve - the type of person that says to me "what.....?!" when I tell them I've only ever seen one Harry Potter movie and not read any of the books
