At least we know what you say is BS. You even wear that teeshirt that has "I make stuff up", written on the front.

No it's not, but it's a pain in the arse to have to do it, hence being a pet peeve.

I normally google the author and the series to find out, but I'd much rather not have to do that, especially when I've got a stack of books and just want to grab the next one in the series as I tend to get a load of books during the library book sale.

Google Chrome, with the large close icon on the top right.

Keep clicking it by accident when minimising something else, that stutters so doesn't minimise straight way, end up closing Chrome loads.

Meh.

Oh and why is G+ so poo and slow in Chrome anyway?

Facebook game updates. I can't seem to find a way to block them anymore, and just when I though I was free of crap, everyone seems to have signed up for a bunch of new games and for some reason have assumed I give a shit about that. It makes scanning my page on my phone rather tedious

Leslie, JG and PA have the right idea it would seem ...
