It is a little bit.

2. Mrs username opens bag, eats a couple of chips. Leaves bag open.
3. Mr username gets hungry, goes to eat chips. Chips are stale.
4. Mr username hulk smash.

New dessert place opened up in town.

Pretty exciting, thought about popping in at lunch time.

Doesn't open till 4:30pm....WTF.

Same goes for the cafe that's across the street and under new ownership, which is open 7am-3pm. Except during lunchtime, when it's closed.

Similar vein, only opening the bag slightly, so that you can fold it over and seal it up with one of those clips to stop it going stale...and someone comes along and opens the whole thing right up and bonus points for tearing the bag down the side...

If you are going to put manhole and other underground access point in the road, don't put them where cars tires have to drive over them. Makes for a very bumpy journey.

When someone microwaves stuff, opens the door before it's finished and then doesn't press “clear".

Those motorbikers, you know the ones. You will be having a chat with someone in the street or whatever when
BRAAAM BRAAAM BRAAAAAM.
I just find them too loud and annoying.

'Social media complainers'. You know the type, the ones who post on some organisation's arsebook or twatter account about whatever offended their sense of entitlement in a violent fit of look at meeeeeeeeee-ism, so everyone can see just how horrible said organisation were to them. Instead of just emailing or calling customer service like a normal person, so the rest of the world doesn't have to watch the display.

****ing Yelp, too. Some of the people on there make me want to jab ice picks in my eyes.

**** it, social media in general. What started off as a potentially good idea has just given a voice and a platform to all the whiny, entitled, self-absorbed, 'everyone deserves a prize and I'm special so listen to me' cockwombles that we used to just tell to **** off when we were growing up.

Never works though, but on the social platform, they have someone respond straight away usually.

It's verging on the ridiculous half the time though, some insignificant little first world problem and the entitled ****wits are banging on like they're at death's door because of it.

It is not something that should be encouraged, really.

It doesn't half get Comcast round sharpish when you tweet a picture of your ****ed up image, especially in the cancellation window.

And KLM are far more responsive to tweets than phone calls and emails.

You can write the best complaint letter known to man and it gets seen by one person. Send a mildly coherent tweet and they are worried about who sees it. It's merely about leverage and negotiation.
