Being really quiet at work means that more time to shop so spending more money on tat that I dont need.
Boredom equals snacking and/or online shopping. Both equally bad for me.

I know I have already mentioned it before but AI voices on YouTube.
As soon as I hear that I stop playing the video. Usually such commentary on the video also sounds like it was AI written
Dropping the T is definitely a gear grinder for me - that and saying “couldn’t of” or “couldn’t ‘ve”. Jacinda was chronic for that.
Yeah I do. Have left a few comments basically saying liked the clip but hated the voice.
Another word that gets me wound up is been when so may folks say bin. Again Jacinda. 😉
The insistence with which Windows absolutely wants to ‘upgrade’ to Windows 11. 😠
(Fortunately, all of my clients now have Linux Mint on dual boot partitions and are increasingly delighted to discover alternative OSS applications for their purposes...)
This annoys me

Yeah get a bit of that on my street. Including one that parks over their driveway each night, but parallel to road. I keep wondering whether I should call the council once day, but not sure if I want to be that guy.
Same with a few caravans and boats that get parked on "their" berm.
Unfortunately it took me being on crutches for five months to realise how awkward cars being on footpaths was.
Appliances with LEDs so bright it's impossible to see the labels, and you have to either cover them with your hand to be able to see what buttons to press, or resort to muscle memory.

Haha, snap.

A while ago my son had a foot operation and used a wheelchair. I appreciated how very difficult it was to use the chair even for a few weeks. I tell you what, using one full time would be a challenge, no thanks to thoughtless people like this (and that above).
Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
Another problem for wheelchair users and the elderly on frames is the condition of the footpaths.

Particularly when they are so focussed that you get a blue circle on the cieling above the appliance with its needlessly bright lights on it.
I got some black nailpolish to put on them. $2 shop for the win on that.

Now for that one, I would be 'that guy' who calls the Council. That's just not acceptable - a dick move.
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
My car would see that as a vehicle about to pull out in front of me and throw a fit.

Garages are now smaller and cars are now bigger. So you can either store "stuff" (mower, bikes etc) in the garage or squeeze the car into it.

And once the car is in the garage there's no room to open the doors. It's an actual use for cars like Tesla with an auto-summon feature to roll the unoccupied car in and out of the garage.
