Don't even start me on code releases for weekend implementation being finished at 5:00 on a Friday, when I'm already 30 mins late (go at 4.30 on fridays). Invariably the developers bugger off immediately & the DBAs find a problem which means they can't go on the test environment without fudging, which means it won't go onto LIVE without fudging. All the testers have gone home do I prepare what I have for release & inevitably find on Mondsy morning that someones been called out to fix it and has blamed me for providing the wrong code (to cover their own backs).

Some guff an announcer is now oblidged to say before a film starts.... I only just caught half of it ".....language used in a time period that may offend some viewers". So we have to apologise for the dogs name in The Dam Busters now?! Really? It was actually the dogs name, get over it!!!! (the words I said in my head when I heard the announcement were somewhat less polite and more colourful

)

That advert for Nescafe 3 in 1. Since when has it ever been necessary to simplify the process for making instant, I'll repeat that - instant, coffee.

Using synch as an abbreviation for synchronise. It should be sync ffs.

Delivery companies who say they'll deliver in a specific slot, and then don't (or even don't bother trying to deliver at all, like the lazy swine last Monday who claimed he had tried to deliver at exactly the time I was in the kitchen (overlooking the drive) right in the middle of cooking my dinner. No you didn't, you lying &*$*&^$!
