Why the fuck do maps and weather apps try to tell you the exact address you're at? Not only does everybody know where they live or the address of the house they're in, but it's annoying being told your at your neighbours house!

Just logged into Gmail. They send an email or gmail advising me that someone's logged into my account and I've got whistles and bells all over the place, both computers, mobile phone, tablet, notifications popping up everywhere just because I've signed in!

flipping hypocrite Kay Burley commenting about BJ celebrating his birthday during lockdown - she did exactly the same herself, and got suspended for six months on full pay!! How she has the audacity to go into work and the Sky producers in allowing her is beyond me!

I know it's not the worst thing that can happen in a supermarket but a trolly with a wonky wheel can drive you nuts!

Derek! Dump the wonky one and find a limousine one. Might take some time, but worth it.
My current worst supermarket experience?
Wanting to get to recieve my goods without breaking social distancing but having to wait for a group of 3 people clogging the next lane. FFS. How many people (idiots) are needed to process/pack a half-empty shallow trolley!!!! Aaaaaaaarrggghhhh!

I'm really sick of having to through away perfectly good equipment in good working order simply because the flipping fixed internal battery is knackered!

What's wrong with the old removable battery you used to get 10 years ago? :x

Planned obsolescence is generally a conspiracy theory but when it comes to wireless headphones, mobile phones, electric razors, etc. I suspect the main purpose of the non-removable battery is to force you to purchase a new one. They even use non-standard batteries to foil people who think about getting their soldering iron out!
