Women in Land Rover Discoveries don't stop at stop streets. It's a known fact, no insult to the gender. There's just some crazy juice in that Discovery steering wheel that affects them.

You should get onto your horse and castigate yourself.

People who think it is acceptable to just stop in the middle of a very narrow shopping mall parking lot to drop off your wife/husband/kid/nephew/whatever so that you don't have to look for parking. Never mind the queue of cars behind you, as your hazard lights that are on and your arm that is hanging out the window in an attempt to wave people past makes it 100% OK to do so in the first place.

Trying to get the wife on either Google or Apple Music. Seems to be impossible.
Google just says I cant, while when I try create an Apple ID Apple tells me the wife's email address is already in use, when I try retrieve the password tells me no such email exists.
It might be something wrong I'm doing (it probably is) but right now, seriously irritating.
 
People sitting next me on planes. Im probably just unlucky, but I always seem to get the almighty talkative types... So what do you do, because I work at xyz and we ensure the world keeps turning. XYZ will cease to exist without me. I was sent to "wherever" just to ensure the world's bearings were oiled properly.

When will i get someone that says "I'm just a plain old jane, nothing fantastic."

My mate, who's an actuary and used to work for one the banks, used to simply tell people he's a teller. It was amazing how quickly people lost interest and didn't ask any further questions.

Brilliant! Now why does he never sit next to me. The tellers seem to think they are actuaries, and instrumental in the growth of the bank.
 
Sometimes I wonder whether I should say something when I see posts that lump all black people together...
You may mean it innocently, you may not see your post as something that can be construed as offensive, but ask yourself, do you like it when black people see all white people as rich racists...
 
A few weeks ago wherever it was that I went I would hear angle grinders.

The one eve we went to watch John Wick Chapter Two, and during the quiet scenes you could hear a grinder. This was at 9PM. The next day I was walking through Walmer Park at lunchtime - yup you guessed it, somewhere they were cutting up ceramic tiles with a grinder. And I think it was that weekend our neighbour started his big Bosch one up to do some alterations on his security gate. I was starting to lose it :p

Computer generated speech on youtube videos.

It's so annoying to hear a youtube video with a computer type narration because there are no pauses for a breath or punctuation points. Every sentence leads into each other and the nuances in human speech are missing when someone uses a computerized voice filter programme to narrate their video.
