Random stuff that people do that annoy me

Any website which pops up a "how did we do? Please review our site" box , covering most of the page , within 2.5 seconds of the page opening. 

Gone straight away.

People who provide a service, then inform you someone will contact you for feedback, please don't give me less than a 9!

I understand the employee saying it, but I despise the companies who monitor their workforce in that way.

When connections on social media post photos or videos of themselves breaking Covid restrictions.

Vast majority are managing to avoid having a party with mates on a Saturday night, if you've decided you're a special case, maybe don't broadcast it across Instagram?

Really winds me up, that does. Are they too thick to realise that not all their social media friends are actually "friends"?

Bought a new bed from Dreams a few months ago. The girl who served us almost begged us to give good feed back on the website once we got home. 
I don't know what they do if the poor beggars get a bad review but there was a real sense of pleading from her.

The complete pain in the rear in the flats opposite who has been flogging vans on the street for the last 9 months.

our useless local council who say if there isn’t a price ticket in the window they won’t take any legal action despite it flouting the clean neighbourhood act. His car was stopped by the fuzz and has disappeared .. think there was an engine/VIN number issue. I’ve watched him angle grind a DVLA clamp off one of his untaxed stock. But after a 10 day break (minus his Range Rover ) he’s back bold as brass. 3 for sale today, parked on pavements. Ok so he is a knob but it is our council who are so craven. Local councillor does all the empathy thing, trading standards “manage my expectations” All garbage. Cowboy trader who hasn’t done a 5 minute scam and spilt .. he is there every day with his high end clients having a fag on my garden wall while they wait for him to turn up.

Petrol bomb his cars, they won't be insured.

I am so flipping law abiding.. but that little devil on my shoulder keeps thinking of devious schemes, letting tyres down, sneaking out in my jamas with home made “don’t buy from this dodgy bloke” stickers, but I have decided to stick with moral outrage and general ineffective moaning and reporting any untaxed ones to the DVLA. Though now he has actually cut a clamp off I am pondering ringing the coppers. 
 

in all honesty it’s the council I am most angry with.  Pathetic jobsworths with all the flannel and politic speak but zero action.

Hello HMRC.  I'd like to have a word about my neighbour. Just wondering if he's registered as a seller of vans.?

Uninterested and disinterested. There’s a difference but so many posters say that “he appeared to be disinterested”. Should be  “uninterested”.  “Disinterested” means unbiased.  
 

The noun of “disinterested” is “ disinterestedness” but confusingly the noun of “uninterested” is “disinterest” so it is correct to say “he appeared to play with disinterest” but wrong to use “disinterested”.

Similarly people calling someone who is not socialising “antisocial”, instead of “unsocial”!

I guess so, but why do they think its OK to piss off all their neighbours?

I’m with you GG, and I quite like my music loud occasionally, when immediate neighbours are out. It’s just I’ve got to the stage in life P & Q, just listening to the Red Kites and other wildlife is just as enjoyable.

Neighbours who can't have a barbecue without music blaring out. It's always some crappy techno rap poo too.

Inconsiderate barstewards.

Have one yourself and play Motorheads "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith".
