What pet hates do you have in life?

As you get older, what things do you find annoy you?

I hate websites that don't let you go back to the previous page. Often if you are using a search engine and click on a link, you discover the page isn't what you are looking for and you can't press the back button. You find you have to close the browser page and start your search again.

The number of adverts asking you to leave money to them in your will. Should not be allowed.

Tell us what pet hates you have in life.

Re: What pet hates do you have in life?

I normally find that pressing the back button twice quickly generally sorts it out. I don't think I've ever had to close a browser for that.

I find that by right clicking on the link and selecting "open link in new tab" does the trick for me.

That's what I do when I remember. But I wish they wouldn't do it. Microsoft are one of the worst culprits.

Anyway, I want to hear what annoys you in life. I just posted those as an example to start you off. [Scared.png]

Smae for me.

Or you can right click on the back button and choose a page further back.

I fully agree with you. Looks like they are deliberately trying to wind me up.... [Angry.png]

I was hoping this would become the ultimate grumpy old man's thread.

Ill answer CT.

What drives me nuts is middle lane hoggers doing 60 when the motorway is practically empty.. [Angry.png]

Off you go from lane 1 then 2 then 3 to go around them then back to lane 2 and lane 1 just to get back to where you started. It's just so pointless.
Best thing is when you can see in your mirror that they have no idea and just carry on in the middle lane completely oblivious.. [Crazy.png]

Post it notes!

email me, text me, phone me or god forbid, engage me in conversation.

But DO NOT leave a post-it on my desk. It will not be read!
