Njugle Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 why do I hit the keys far harder when I am writing something short, than when I am writing something long. I actually have to restrain myself from bashing them when correcting one letter/word among a hundred, wtf? I irritate me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassermaet Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 When you are typing out an essay on your laptop in Microsoft Word and your sleeve brushes up against your touchpad and changes the location of your cursor mid-word. That happens to me too! That's why I ended up disabling my touchpad and just using a mouse instead, it was driving me mad DX Especially when it deleted whole paragraphs. Grr fest. ¬_¬ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nautim Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I bought a box of profiteroles with chocolate sauce yesterday. Went home, opened them, was eating and aimlessly counting them. 16. Then decided to read the packet (OK - I didn't really need to, but I'm a compulsive reader). I expected to see 'Serves 4', but no 'Serves 5'. I've spent the rest of the time wondering what precisely you were supposed to do... 1. Fill 5 plates with 3 each, then have the spare one as a reward for doing all that difficult maths and work... 2. Fill 5 plates with 3.2 profiteroles each 3. Fill plates according to appetite (could lead to fights about unfair proportions) 4. Go back to shop to see if all the packets have 16 profiteroles to feed 5 or did I just hit it lucky? By the time I'd puzzled over all this I'd got fed up with eating them and wished I'd not given in to impulse shopping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Scitt Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Alex Morrisons opening times on a sunday. I have missed out on more 10am teabreaks than I can count because people can't get out of bed in the morning. Not a good way to run a shop or keep faithfull customers! Seen so many people drive on past shaking their heads in anger. Rant over, until next sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 TV Adverts that employ the phrase "that's why" all the time. Have you noticed it? They try and be all matey and claim they're doing you a favour... for example "At British gas we know that times are hard at the moment, that's why we're blah blah blah" or " Vodophone believes that you should only pay blah blah blah when blah blah. That's why we're blah blah blah". It's like there's just one guy writing for these swines, who has somhow conned them into believing that he's delivering an original script, but it's actually the same formua used each time - "X know that Z, that's why some other crap blah blah blah. Buy our stuff." Just another small example of how advertising people are actively corroding our collective souls on a daily basis. Rant over.
