Phones and folk who expect you to have them superglued to your head so if they decide to call you answer first time.
Same. I suspect people really hate me as I rarely answer mine and use it mostly as a mobile answering machine to be checked when I have time and am in the mood. Even home telephones were a bit much for me – send me a letter thanks.
Yes, I realise we “can’t live without” it all now, the BB included – but it doesn’t have to rule my life (though it also now accounts for a significant part of many a household budget as every family member “needs” one now).

It’s funny you mention phones as I’m posting from my mother’s mobile right now (though she doesn’t know that, hehe) as my laptop has decided I can’t get online 
And it is seriously annoying navigating this site on mobile! It just goes to show what lengths I’ll go to to get on the BB.

Couldn’t agree more. People in my school just damn expect you to answer the first time they call, within 10 seconds, or else its the biggest deal in the universe. I really only use my IPod Touch (I don’t have a phone yet) is to listen to my music and scroll through my Instagram feed. Even my parents have more patience when it comes to me not answer the first time than some of my friends.

Offline Speaking of phones, I was burning some CDs onto my phone and my phone asked me did I want to update it. I said “alright” and ticked all the boxes and the fecking thing changed everything, the design, it updated Youtube which I didn’t want, it downloaded more crap apps that I don’t need and rearranged all of my stuff- uhhh!
Now I have to try and find a way to get it back to the old version but I don’t think I’ll be successful

@HongKongLady does this pretty much 99.9% of the time – it amazes me how much she manages to do on that tiny screen.

That’s a minor pet peeve of mine. I loaded over 500 photos from my trip to HK from my Android phone onto my PC. I then had to rotate around 120 of them to make them display correctly; with no rhyme or reason as to why some were fine and some were not.

I agree completely, and I know how you feel. Sometimes, I’ll take a photo, just on my IPod, and the photo is sideways. So, I have to follow some annoying steps to get my pictures back to normal!
A pet peeve of mine in general is Phones being used in un-nessecary moments. That includes texting while someone is talking to you, taking pictures of stuff you see on the highway (believe me, I’ve seen it before!) ect.

Update: I have just deleted all of my photos and videos accidentally- ffs! Luckily I amn’t overly-sentimental :/
For some strange reason my music stayed (work of gypsies, maybe?)

Absolutely!! I’ll see video footage on the news, YouTube, etc… of someone in distress captured from 20 different angles from 20 different cell phones, but nobody is helping the victim because everyone is filming it!!!!! Guess what, you flaming a******s? Your phone can also be used to dial 9-1-1.
WTF is wrong with people?
Huuuuuge peeve.

Thank god I’m not the only person that has seen this! Once, I was on the highway, someone’s car was flipped on its side, and guess what? This lady gets up in her car that has no roof, and takes a picture of it!
Well, at least the police were there, but it annoyed my whole family!

Offline One of my friends on Facebook just posted this:
I highly doubted that Tesla ever actually said this, so I looked it up on the Internet. The quote is attributed to him all the time, but I couldn’t find any good, believable source that claimed that he ever said it. Even the discussion section on Wikiquote had some doubt about it.
It honestly drives me nuts when people post quotes without checking their authenticity. There’s so much misinformation on the Internet and the fact that people can’t be skeptical enough to do a simple Google search is inexcusable to me. Heck, even just going to Quote Investigator is a good route.
(Though, in this particular case, Quote Investigator has yet to write anything on Tesla.)
