That's a little harsh on newsagents.

Letting Agents who still insist on Tenancy Guarantors for people who have a secure long-term full-time job, meaning that their parents have to sign-up to be legally liable, not just for paying their rent, but also unlimited liability for anything else going badly wrong regardless of whose fault it is. And then charging a fee for "arranging" it. Scamming gets.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - anyone with the word "agent" in their job title should be first against the wall
 

PM me if he doesn't.

Agreed - and at its extreme, I've sat and watched those stunning OK Go videos over the years and been mightily impressed. Could I hum you a single tune of theirs, or even tell you the song names? Nope...

Where is it? The Somerset levels?

Seeing something that makes you giggle, even when you should know better.
 

Never having seen them gives me one. 

Nice one Muski - on a similar note, when you disagree violently with someone online about a particular subject but then on another topic you find that you have common ground. You realise that we all come into this world the same and we're not always so different as it sometimes feels
I did consider proposing that no one was allowed to post in the annoyance thread without posting one here as a counter balance, but that seemed a bit too draconian!
 

I've been wanting to start this thread for ages
As the "Random stuff that annoys me thread" reaches 100+ pages, it is pretty clear that we could solve the world's energy crisis if we somehow harnessed man's natural ability to complain about things.
So, as one poster accused me of having "no balance" I thought I'd try and tip the scales of karma and start this one up as well. Let's see if it is just as popular?
So I will start with an easy one.
When you read through a lengthy online debate and you disagree with what people are saying, so you stick your neck out and say something - get a torrent of abuse back - and then suddenly someone you don't know pops up and agrees with you. Immediately restoring both your faith in humanity and the thought that you may be going mad.

That first pint in the pub when you finish work on a Friday

When you watch a current entertainment programme on the telly and as if by a miracle there is no sign of James Corden anywhere. Ahhhhhhhh what a refreshing change. I've turned a negative into a positive.

I'm happily married, early 40's & certainly no Brad Pitt but do try & look after myself.
I've never cheated and never will but I have to admit it does give me a spring in my step when I get checked out at the gym or out & about.

I am a big fan of doing random acts of kindness.

Steve's media interviews. So much more inspiring compared to the two previous dead fish we had as managers. 

I like it Steve and I shall be using this thread a lot also but for some reason it's human nature to look at negatives and not highlight positives which I've never understood. Let's change it!
I think I read on the Brentford thread about a fan who dropped his wallet or something and a man found it and gave it back to him. This happened to me once as well as my mobile phone on a separate occasion and I got them both back. There are some decent folk in the world. Just not in Parliament.

When you're having an online debate and you disagree with what people are saying even though they resort to name calling, and later down the track you watch as the view you were proposing materialise.

When I worked for a certain DIY store, they used to run campaigns, asking people if they wanted to add a 50p donation to their shopping. 
I flat refused, on that same principle. Earned me a disciplinary.
