Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

Ah customer service...

- Trying to close an electricity account and the advisor used the wrong reading so now it's up to me to get the correct reading and photograph and time-stamp it... even though I already gave the correct reading!

- Changed my phone number a few months ago and made sure to update it on my Amazon profile, it's associated with the default delivery address... yet my old number is still the one that the delivery guys are being given to contact me - sending them on a wild goose chase. Impossible to contact Amazon too.

Might be just me, but every time i click on a thread here that i follow, the page loads then has a horrible shaking fit for about ten seconds, jerking up and down while the whole screen shakes like a mad yoke. Really annoying. Boards is the only site its happening on, so suspect its a boards thing.

Not just you - widely reported.

Also not being brought to latest page.

Thank Heavens for that. It is happening to me too. I thought my phone was on the way out and I would have to shell out for a new one.

When I try to scroll up to see what thread I'm it constantly puts me back to the bo

All clubs are multi million businesses now. But we'll see what he's like without the luxury of buying and paying players without an open chequebook to back him.

That I left that comment about Pep Guardiola on the General soccer thread but I can't find it

Ooohhh I like that project....keep us posted

Rizzla papers, on the rare occasion I go to use them, they're always all stuck together.

I'm not sure if there's a technical term for this, other than being a cun+, but my family have always been at this.

For example, say you arrive to the family house you see your dad talking to the neighbor, they're both standing there looking at the neighbors lawnmower. Your dad calls you over:

"Here, can you give him a lift over to his mother's house to cut her lawn, his wife has the car"

Basically they have been asked to do something, but they can't or don't want to do it, so they organize for you to complete the task without your consent and then they ask your permission, on front of the person, which makes it really difficult for you to say "no" to the person.

Dropped into Smithfield market and decided to get a hot chocolate. When I went to pay it was €8. 8 Euros!!

Also went into Fresh and a slice of quiche was €5. €6.50 if you wanted it heated.

Madness

The correct way to eat a steak is from the outsides in, not end to end - this way the nicest, rarest piece is kept til last. I will die on this hill.

What about sandwiches :-)

Is the way other people eat them another TA?

There's this Hyacinth Bucket type that would be friendly with my parents, says she's friendly but would literally only ever contact my father if she has something bulky and heavy that needs shifting. Or something that requires him going out of his way to help. Exploiting his obliging nature even though he is 72 now and should be slowing down.

Mrs. Bucket rang him yesterday because surprise, surprise she had a sofa that needed moving. Her posho husband seemingly had a hernia specifically the 'size of a lacrosse ball' so my brothers were recruited to help. I wouldn't lift a finger for the kernt but wasn't around anyway.

I asked one of them a simple question 'did she even know your names?'.

Of course she didn't, so much for an alleged family friend!
