    All its worldly possessions and some of its cack mixed in with sawdust.

    People with sat navs stuck dead centre of the windscreen. Proper in your vision bang in the middle. Probably on day mode at night.

    I've seen a lot of these recently, fairly big screens as well, they'd never see a cyclist at night.

    I tried tracking changes on a staff rota once, but it meant 2 or more people could change the documents at the same time so nobody knew what version was right until I came in and authorised the changes, carnage.

    I hate the fact that it's my fault that the thing I wasn't asked to do hasn't been done.

    Most YouTube comments, the usual hated stuff.

    But one comment type that doesn’t get enough hate and has become prevalent in recent years is the comments in the form of a play, ie,
    “Me:
    Person 1:
    Person 2: etc”
    They’re virtually all the same formula, with use of bold and italicised and spaced out text as if the user is trying to come across as clever, which makes me wonder if some are created by bots.

    Even when watching something fun and light-hearted like a cat video and not expecting anything of substance, I think it’s rational for me to want something more original and clever. The worst examples are those old ones that go viral and reappear much later in people’s recommendations, with all of the comments in the first page coming from the last month, and all of them equally inane.

    I don’t always read the comment section but sometimes I’m interested to hear others’ reaction to a video (or a certain moment in it), similar to when reading an article or blog. Sometimes the comments are interesting, a lot of the time they’re not or just plain annoying, but you don’t know if they’re not worth reading without...well, reading them.

    I usually read the first few comment threads or sometimes go through the whole of the first page depending on my mood/time on my hands and number of replies, and if there’s any stuff I want to skip. When there’s a page full of the rubbish I described above, I just skim-read the opening comments and scroll down until I find something worth reading properly - which, in many cases, there isn’t.

    I've no idea what you are actually talking about, but without Youtube comments, we wouldn't have Bug, and that would be a terrible world:

    People who continually move away from the mouthpiece or speakerphone when calling you or have their hands free microphone too far away, so it becomes a challenge to keep up with what they called you about.

    Shooting is too good for them frankly and I hope you will agree.

    This is an old classic, but people who feel the need to press the crossing button (or lift button) when it’s very obviously been pressed. I’d forgotten how annoying it was, but I had a couple follow me across a series of pedestrian crossings in London today and they proceeded to jab away at the button of each one even though it had obviously been pressed. The thought process bewilders me.

    Along the lines of this, people who stick out their arms for a bus and leave the arm out right until the bus stops, long past the time when it was palpably obvious that it was going to do so.

    For some unaccountable reason, this really irritates me. Mind you, I’m very small-minded and petty.

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    Agreed. There are six people at a crossing waiting for the lights to change. A seventh turns up and presses the button, as though none of the previous six had thought to press it. Thank you so much. We would never have got across the road otherwise.

    Haven't been to them much in recent years, but there are some tube stations in London where the platform is deep down and most people take the lift instead of going up or down the 200+ stairs (Hampstead and Goodge Street are examples, Camden Town is another IIRC).

    What really annoyed me was when the lift doors were almost shut, and almost always some tossers who couldn't wait 30 seconds (if that) for the next lift rushed in, causing the doors to reopen (and this could happen even after the announcer telling people not to obstruct the doors) and more people to enter, making a previously half-full lift at worst really crowded. This could happen up to three times a row, delaying the lift by a longer period of time than the people who squeezed in would've had to wait for the next lift. If the lift wasn't of limited capacity, that kind of thing in theory could've gone on forever!

    It's like those people who run hell for leather to catch the Victoria line trains when there's a train every minute, AFTER work. What the hell's the rush?

    It's because of that stuff I now prefer going on the bus to the tube, and I never thought I'd hear myself say that!

    That'll be me rushing to get the "fixed time" return from St Pancras to Nottingham that cost (the tax payer) £95, instead of an "any time" return at £180 that I could get, and so take it easy on the tube. If I miss it, I get charged another £90 (probably to stand for 1hr 50mins), followed by an awkward battle trying to get my money back through expenses.

    More annoying for me, is that for the first time in my life, someone offered me their seat the other day. I suppose it is a consequence of getting older, but I was taken aback and I hope that my response to the young man didn't sound ungrateful. The fact that he looked so unfit that I'm sure I would have left him standing over a 10k run didn't make me feel any better. :(

    That’s a hard one that. I’m conscious of not having my arm up too long as to appear rude and demanding, but then if the bus hasn’t signalled or slowed I stick my arm up again and then once more worry I am being too demanding so lower it again etc. I end looking like a maniac pretending to taxi a plane.

    Perfectly legitimate to have your arm out until the bus signals. It’s the people who leave their arms out long after that who annoy me.

    Agree in part with the first sentence, not with the second. Cats have all kinds of personalities, good, bad or in between, just like dogs and people - I get the impression they aren’t very popular among football fans though.

    The problem is so many of the more popular videos show cats in a bad light, like cats being jerks, attacking people and other animals, being angry at vets, or made figures of fun, like a cat getting stuck in an empty tissue box and falling down two flights of stairs and being laughed at, rather than just chilling out and being nice to people, and doing the less objectionable and still cute stuff that cats like to do. It’s as if people prefer the notion commonly perpetrated of cats being evil bastards, as opposed to dogs being goofy, but loyal and obedient (I like both BTW).

    Had a long journey on the motorway today and not enough atmosphere polluting diesel to get home. Worked out I needed 2 gallons to be safe, got Diamond junior to convert to litres and pulled into the next services that didn't have a Starbucks.

    F*** me! £1.52 point f***ing 9 per litre. How do these shysters get away with it?

    People keep them as pets to make them feel better about themselves but they **** in my garden and I have to clear it up. Tossers in my book.

    Caught one shitting in the stones on my drive as I stepped out on Friday morning. Sent a 30kg racing dog in to scare the little tosser off. I’ve said it before, if I let my dog do that in someone’s front garden I’d get a gob full from someone.
