I find it mildly annoying when people don’t find obscure music trivia interesting at all and tune me out when I start spouting off about whatever band/genre/decade I’m discussing at the moment. Sure, you don’t have to be amazed, but come on! It’s something not commonly known about the Beatles*! Listen! Listen I say!
My current top pet peeve, though, involves people taking up an entire section of an aisle in a grocery store and taking FOREVER looking at products. You know exactly what you want, but they’re blocking your access to it. Then they act like you’re in their way and make sure you know it. Finally they leave without taking anything they were looking at. Raaaaaaaaaaaage! Okay, I’m better now.
* Or German Krautrock, Chicago Industrial music, 1940s country/western, Indian trance/house songs, Japanese Ska, 8-bit chiptune covers of Pink Floyd, novelty pop albums by B-list celebrities, import only b-sides to singles that everybody has otherwise heard, songs by a band that actually wrote songs that someone else made famous, awesome (usually live) collaborations, or a weird cover by a band you’ve never heard of.. the list goes on.

While I sympathise, it can be a difficult balancing act in a hot climate. I tend to have a bit of a body odour thing when I sweat a lot, so I try some of the cologne to be more pleasant in a crowd. I am then screwed if I have too little or too much.

Ha, this is so funny, because my wife says the same thing all the time, especially about one friend who carries on a running interrogative dialogue with herself. My wife can’t get a word in edgewise, which is not her favorite condition.

ZigI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Offline When your bank card fails to work in a store. Everyone looks at you as if they want you to die. I didn’t deliberately get a load of shopping, stand in a queue and put it thru the checkout just to use a card that wouldnt work to annoy you.
TV shows where people meet people from years ago for whatever lovely reason and the way its presented is ‘will they meet up’? You wouldnt have put the damn show together and it wouldnt be on my fecking tv if they didnt!!!!

When someone intends to use a card and can’t find it in their wallet / purse / bag. I mean, while we are all waiting for the items to be scanned, how about getting your card ready?

After which they stand there, purchase paid for and bagged, replacing the card and rearranging their purse, engaging in mind numbing chit chat with a chewing gum smacking cashier. Don’t you have 47 cats at home waiting to be fed? Get the frig outta my way!

Online internet banking security. Im all in favour of sensible safe security online but this has been drawn up by paranoid nutcases who no doubt believe that we are all being watched by ‘others’ from another world. I’m predicting that in a few years time that to change your online password and/or username you will get a text message informing you that you will receive an email (your third back-up email account) with a location of a phone box that you have to be at at a specific time to get a code that you then have to take into a random bank that must be 14 miles away from where you are along with 45 forms of ID where you then take an exam answering 20 random questions – 10 on your life history and 10 on your banking payments over the last 6 months.
Standing in at the check-outs in a queue whilst staff and their mates have a chat at the tills. It used to be 1 member of staff and 1 customer however recently this has increased to 2 or 3 members of staff and a couple of customers ensuring that no one else is doing anything or going anywhere.
Recently experienced a manager come to the tills and call “next please” to apparently deal with the long queue, so a fed up customer quickly moved over and unloaded their basket. 10 seconds or so later a snotty spotty teenage worker walked up and they had a chat about where they were going that night and whether or not the 19 year old had found his phone ignoring the customer who probably went back to planning how to get away with murder and arson!!!

What I don’t understand is how they think we should remember all these little details and security questions when we forgot our password.
Obviously we’re having a lapse in memory can you just email us?!

A peeve of mine as well. I had to call my cable company to resolve a wi-fi issue. They asked me for my password, to which I replied, “What password?”.
I don’t know if any of you in other areas experience this but for a while now, when paying for gas at the pump with a credit card, we are required to enter our billing address zip code…after choosing yes or no to the question “Do you have our rewards card?”…after choosing yes or no to the question “Do you want a car wash?”…after choosing yes or no to the question “Do you want a receipt?”. I long for the days when I could pull up to a gas pump and just pump gas. Now, I need to pack a picnic to pass the time while pressing buttons.

LVG is looking as bad as Moyes in his team selections and formations. And yes, this could have been in the football thread but as it is driving me barmy I thought I’d put it here.

Dont see a lot of West Brom (Tony Pulis being one reason) but have seen a bit of Man U and my word they are hideous to watch nowadays. As bad as last season yet with a far more expensive squad. Bemusing how dismal they are under LVG.
