I hate that too... I have to turn the shower head to point at the wall whenever I'm not directly under it, to stop it.

"mobile" websites...

Okay, it's really handy they've designed a site to be optimised for a mobile device...

However, when they don't offer the option to "view the full site" - it does wind up.

Recently, bought something online, and all the options I was hoping for weren't offered (wanted to add some extras to the delivery). Sure it was delivered ok, but all the options I was hoping to add to it weren't available...

On the full site, all the options are there and working! Ah well, I'll just have to hope that it's ok!

Wanting to deposit money and the only atm that does not charge you an arm and a leg is out of service and the bank queue is huge.

Showers in California, are all Californians midgets and I just haven't noticed? Surely it's as inconvenient for them as it is for me to have to duck under a shower that barely comes up to where my chin is. Maybe I've just been unlucky but so far that's a couple of motels and my mates place and all of them have been below where I think a shower should be.

Amazon.co.uk recommendations. I buy one book with the word "play" in the title, and the first four pages of recommendations are every single book amazon stocks with the word "play" in the title. That's not a "recommendation", it's just a bloody search list.

And some of the other suggestions are... well, odd to say the least. I bought a couple of Bluesbreakers albums, and so Amazon recommends "The 99 Most Essential Beethoven Masterpieces". Ahhh... Beethoven... always conjures up images of the coton fields of the deep south, slide guitar, Muddy Waters... woke up this morning... found out I was deaf

Car designers.

Poncing around pretending that they're a design genius, but when the only access to the spark plugs is through a 6" by 8" gap in the wheel arch lining... You're not a genius.

I feel that I've lost half a pint of blood and most of the skin of my hands...

when people repost or retweet stuff you've posted on facebook/twitter & repost it without sharing your link or crediting you, and all you see is people then reposting it and giving THEM credit! Bloody annoying! Grrrr *shakes fist*

Yes, you know who you are

bless you needing credit

I did say it was irrational! Some of us come from broken homes you know, we spend our entire lives striving for positive strokes, then some git like you comes along and pinches it!
