    When I go into a cafe or similar establishment on my own. I spy a table which will suit me perfectly. However, by the time I've purchased my apple danish and coffee, someone else who has just walked in has taken it. They just walk in, and one of them says 'you go and keep that table' and I'm left standing with my purchases and nowhere to sit! Now that I'm older and slower it really upsets me. Surely decent people wouldn't occupy a table until they have purchased their food and drink? Sorry for being an old misery!

    People that don't tell you important information till after the damn fact.

    Also people who tell you they're sending an important email and don't, again not till it's too late to make arrangements with the staff, who require about 10 years notice to arrange anything (slight exaggeration but I'm a bit angry today)

    Love reading all these stories. I have to agree with most like state of British roads i feel like I’m swerving around the holes which is not good 😬. Though mines has got to be People whi have different faces for different people, for example people who pretend to be someone else to others ,it baffles me how they manage to keep up with themselves . to me that’s a big red flag. And are living a life of decent and lies .

    My TV turning itself off to save energy whilst I'm listening to music with eyes closed 🙄. If I want to save energy I know how to do it 🤣😂.

    The first one is that “fake question” thing. Someone asks you something, but they’re not actually interested in your answer, they’re just waiting for their turn to talk about themselves. It can feel dismissive, like you’re just a stepping stone in their monologue rather than someone they genuinely want to hear.

    The second, people who constantly position themselves as the victim or need attention. It’s not that people can’t struggle, but when it becomes a pattern (everything is always happening to them, and nothing ever shifts), it can start to feel like you’re being pulled into something one-sided.

    Like your car telling you RISK of FROST … well done Sherlock, I didn't notice when I was scraping the windscreen … or the best one … Looking at this screen increases the risk of accidents … stop beeping up alerts then. Good job Basil Fawlty didn't have a modern car …

    I love this one. It reminds me of my Netflix shaming me by asking "Are you still watching?".

    I usually read it as "Are you STILLLL watching?" and take it as a reminder to go and do something else for a while. 🤣

    So glad that's not just me.

    When I was at comic con in Doncaster last Sunday, I specifically charged up my camera last week as I knew I'd be taking 10000 photos (slight exaggeration but I did take a lot), and the flippin' camera died about half way through the day, fortunately I've a good camera on my phone which had plenty of charge.

    When the bin men don't empty the bin because someone has walked by and put something in wrong bin and it's not emptied
