No Mammoth Volume!

Being quoted prices as ‘£x plus VAT’ for things that aren’t building supplies*

I’m booking my car in for service pal, not buying a hundredweight of bricks and a jumbo bag of mixed aggregate…

*even then, it’s an irk, but tradesmen get a pass as it’s their thing…

Think Tank by Blur did this. Rewind from track 1 and get the best song on the album. Pain in the arse.

I have this album (on CD) and was not aware of this. In fact there are a few albums I have on that wiki page @chanticleer linked to. Only one I knew about was too many djs, and that’s just because the pop bitch mailout mentioned it once.

what an annoying thing

Someone in the office (a grown adult woman) has a fidget spinner.

(not in my department – we’re all great)

Doubly annoying if your CD player doesn’t have a proper rewind function, only track forward/backward buttons.

Triply annoying because it’s super difficult to rip those pregap tracks to MP3.

The Christmas thread just reminded me of one.

In my immediate family I have two parents, two siblings, my siblings’ respective spouses and five nieces and nephews. As a minimum, that’s 11 presents I have to buy. How many do I get in return? Three, because each family gets me one present from the family (to be fair, my parents usually get me a couple).

I’ve got a colleague who calls me up to ask a question, but he usually hasn’t figured out what it is he wants to ask until after he’s picked up the phone, so I get to listen to him figure out what he doesn’t know, then realise that he does know how to deal with whatever it is, then say bye. Several times a day.

Cheers for the interruptions, dickhead.

He just wants to hear your voice.

Well he’s only human, but he can still fuck off.

If you get one present from each couple no way should you be buying each individual a present. Entirely your fault.

My TV loses the ability to communicate with the soundcard in my PC which means every time I start it up I have to instantly restart it in order for the sound to work. Also mean if my PC goes to sleep I have to restart it too.

Kinda put up with it for about a year but it is a bit annoying.

Likewise. Presents for brother, sister in law, nieces: 8 (birthday + Christmas)

Presents in return: 1 + 1 gift voucher.

Feel like I need to have loads of kids just to even up the score a bit.

Had to read this 3 times whilst going “his girlfriend can’t communicate with what? The PC?”

IRKED (at the common use of TV on his forum)

A guy…at work…sends all…his emails to us…with these weird ellipses in…for no reason…

Also he annoyed me by asking for something by Monday lunchtime and when we told him we were short-staffed but we could do that he asked if we could instead do it on Friday…grrr…
