Minor things that bother you

managed to get an 84 retro in small finally Runkle, took some time tho!

 

The Micky Quinn thing on TS...with his 100 goals for Newcastle in his debut season and that ****** crying on air about how good he was.

 

When someone knows someone that another person knows, and they say 'small world!'. It's not a small world. It's a minor coincidence. Get a grip.

 

I finally found someone who didn't know what a globe was. It's a small world.

 

This. My Facebook feed seems to be full of pages titled 'Vote (name) for Social secretary' or something or other. Just no.

 

Guilty of this. Being bribed with pizza by attractive candidate. Easy way to get free dinner if you're good at making promotional videos like me

 

Saying "I'll get..." when ordering a coffee / meal etc. If I was serving them I'd just reply "sure be my guest, it's over there"

Not sure whether this Americanism has already been listed by someone; I can't be arsed to trawl through the whole thread to see.

Actually that brings me to another thing - people who have enough time to post on here all day. Don't you have better things to do ffs! The only reason I've been on here so much today is that I am off work ill.

People who 'like' nearly every ****ing post... :rolleye1:

 

Which is me of course in case anyone starts to get a bit para . I find it easier to 'like' to show I agree with a point. I'm not on FriendFace so perhaps I'm misusing 'like'?

But back to the thread...

Facebook.

 

I left Facebook some time ago. Nothing against those who use it, but it outlived it's usefulness for me. It's nothing more than personal PR campaigns and an extended marketing database.

As for your use of the like button, makes complete sense. What I don't get is the dislike button. Seriously, who really uses that? You may as well say 'I think you're a c**t'. Almost every time I see reference to it on here it's soon followed by folk saying sorry for accidentally clicking it.

 

disliked

:]]

 

Haha knew there'd be one :]]

 

I did suggest to Admin there ought be an I Think You're A C*** button as well as Like and Dislike. Oddly they never responded.

 

As someone who would be on the wrong end of that button, I'm relieved.

 

Sorry, csdxl (my spellcheck wants to change your name to 'cuddle') pressed dislike by mistake. ;D

 

In hindsight I was rather asking for that wasn't I? :dohh well

 

I get annoyed that there is no dislike button on facebook

 

That's fair enough, I know plenty of people feel the same way as you on that. Wasn't there a big campaign a while ago to get them to introduce it?
I don't personally feel the need to tell the world when I dislike a post but then I'm in the minority that doesn't like facebook full stop, so what do I know.

 

Facebook has outlived it usefulness. Now it appears to be full of people bigging up their own sad existences. One of my friends Wife's just put a countdown timer on hers saying how many "sleeps" until they go to Disneyland. F*** right off. I just had a massive cull and it felt bl**dy good. I think I'll have dumped it completely by the end of the year.

 

You were really but here you go again...

I resisted though, how good of me

 

This really made me laugh. Thank you.

 

For me, Facebook is just a way for me to share really profound poems, videos with misleadingly exciting titles but dull content and lists of things that some people did when they were kids in he eighties or nineties. Oh, and to post really 'look at me aren't I interesting' type status updates followed by a plethora of witty, but superfluous hashtags. #sarcasm #itsfunnycositstrue #youknowwhatimtalkingabout #someoneinyournetworktotallydoesthis.

 

Car drivers who put their hazards on when they are approaching a tailback - like I can't ****ing see the stream of cars ahead.
Drivers who put their fog lights on and forget. (this is invariably women)
Drivers who use a satnav but haven't worked out that there is a "night mode"
Middle lane *******.
BMW drivers.

 

I do use hazards like that as I've seen a huge shunt when someone wasn't paying attention as a motorway ground to a halt.
The rest I agree with, although I wouldn't make the gender difference on the fog lamps. It seems regardless of gender people use them at night or if there is the most gentle of mist, where you can still see for a couple of miles but find yourself sitting behind someone's rear fogs glaring and distracting. Funking hate that.

I hate hazards being used to indicate "I'm just parking". If another car obscures the near-side light by parking next to the 'hazardous' driver, then it looks as if the 'hazardous' driver is trying to pull out as all you can see is an off-side indicator flashing. This pisses me off no end.

Also, failing to signal off a roundabout, leaving me sitting there giving way to you, even though you've turned off before you got to me. Kinell, man, that really gets my goat.

Tailgaters. Shoot the ****ing lot of them. I don't believe in capital punishment so don't get me wrong, but I would happily shoot these ****ers. ;D

 

Agreed. I would also like to add Mercedes drivers and more recently - Lexus drivers. All of them seem to believe they have right of way, and own the road.

 

A lot of cars do it automatically now if you apply the brakes with a high level of sudden force.

 

Reddit > All other social media.

 

People who use question marks when they aren't asking a question?

 

Drivers who are a bit lost and who drive for about a mile down a road, probably looking for a house number, at fifteen mph and with their left indicator on as if they might pull over at any moment. But you can't get past them anyway.

Massive articulated lorries who decide to cut out a traffic jam on the m25 and go down a single track lane, completely blocking it off when they get stuck.

 

Again, sorry, these things are not minor. Hate thread.
