Software/app updates. Why the heck do they constantly tinker with a perfectly good, functional app? The latest “improvement” to one of my apps has me jumping through hoops to get to a page that used to be right there on my home page! It was right fucking there, why do you now make me drill four pages deep to get to that page?!!! How is that “improving my user experience”? And why do apps need to be updated every effing time I go to use it? I swear to god the tech bros be fucking with us. 😡 :banghead:
 
How come it's only UK airports that need to charge extortionate amounts of money to drop off passengers?
6 quid for 90 seconds this morning at Glasgow. Only Schiphol out of the 10 busiest EU airports charge a fee and that's €2.50
 
The awful minimalist design UI apple and Google have foisted on the world. I've just come from Google maps which I've been using for 20 years and yet - as every time - had to dick about for a few minutes to figure out how to get street view. One example among so many. Its killing people in the case of Teslas.
 
Always drop folk off at the roundabout at Jubilee Road. 2 minute walk tae the entrance doors.
 
Adverts. Do my head in. They are so inaccurate and basically lie to consumers. For example, 50+ cyclists in white t-shirts, covered in mud, so stop to put said manky t-shirts in washing machines in the middle of the countryside. Come out fantastically white and ironed ! The cereal advert when coloured chap steps on a red piece of Lego then, while eating said cereal, the Lego piece has changed to green. And my favourite. The Febreeze lassie with the googly eyes who sprays absolutely everything in her hoose including 3 brand-new pairs of shoes at the front door. The dug's sleeping area also gets a good blasting. She must use about 3 bottles of the stuff every day. No wonder she has googly eyes, she must be off her tits with all that chemical stuff flying around.

This drives me potty too. I dont know where I picked this up or if its just common sense, but whether its any of the above, or a lift, a room, whatever; even before manners, logic alone suggests you let people out of a confined space, before new people go in.

How did so many people both not get the memo, and also not just figure it out?
 
Drivers who feel it’s ok to drive on the wrong side of the road when coming around a blind bend.

It’s happening too often. What the actual fuck is wrong with these morons!
 
This has to be an age thing but it annoys me when a neighbor or a neighbor’s visitor parks outside my house. Perfectly legal of course but I there is some etiquette missing I feel. On my street there is street sweeping twice a week, Thursday and Friday. On Thursday my neighbor across the street moves four cars to my side of the street and usually parks one outside my house while his side of the street is getting swept sometime between 2and 4. But the car is left there long after 4 so when I get home from work at roughly 6pm, i can’t park outside my house. When I have to park outside their house, I move my car back to my side ASAP so as to not take a spot outside their house. As I say, must be my age.

I'm on the 26 a lot and regularly see folk trying to barge past to get on even if there is loads getting off the bus. Its the busiest bus in Edinburgh so surely they must be used to it by now. Almost as annoying as those that don't have their bus passes or cash ready and hold up everybody else. I'll excuse those running ti get a bus but if you've been waiting a few mins it's not much to ask to be ready with your method of payment.
 
London is appalling for folk charging forward and pushing everyone out the way.

Worst place I've ever seen that happen.
 
Spitting. Why? Just watched a guy get out a taxi, walk to a bar and gob on a beautiful tiled pavement.
On very rare occasions in my life I've needed to spit out something but just gobbing? nah never. Do you think it makes you look tough you daft bastards?
And don't get me started on footballers emptying their noses on the pitch.
 
Every single TV series/Movie made in the last 20 years which features a character using a laptop without a power lead, ever.

Where can i get one of those batteries and why aren't they used on cars etc?

In India its culturally accepted it seems. Combined with the knowledge that TB is in circulation its a little offputting when geezers noisily dredge the very depths of their lungs before howking greenies that land with an audible splat.

They do it in the lavs at work an all. The offices I was in had equipment to hose the whole room down.

One of the best places I've ever been but I didn't warm to this tradition.

Everything about IT in dramas drives me up the wall.

I've had x-rays, blood tests, visited the hossie on quacks orders at half one in the morning all due to my constant coughing and the glut that appears with it.

I need to keep a receptical at the side of my cot for gobbling in.

I think the problem was my auld prefab and the black mould that went with it.

It's nippy coughing every 5 mins.

Murmuratian, now there’s an avian expression that doesn’t often pop up in daily dialogue. Love it

Hope that improves Jimmy. Sounds awful.

Waiting for a ferry in Norway once, a local youngster was fishing in the harbour. He reeled in a fish - and an entire busload of Japanese tourists wanting selfies with his catch. Unbelievable.
 
The quack who said he'd set up an appointment for more blood tests.

He never. I just done it myself.

So the earliest appointment I could get for the tests is the 19th August.

They are building all these new hooses out our way with no amenities or infrastructure.

Gilmerton is a fuckin nightmare now. And still the building work goes on at station road.

And the hoose up the road that lay empty for months has been bought by a charity.

So that's that thought of a hoose oot the windae.
