The fact that when you finish an episode on Netflix, the following episode will start automatically in a few seconds unless you push a button to resume the credits. Who asked for this? I mean, who the hell watches the next episode IMMEDIATELY after you finished the previous one?? Let your thoughts sink in, take some time to reflect. What did you like or dislike about it, what might happen next? "Nope, no time for that, I need to finish this series in one day so so I can tell my friends what I think about it"

"Nope, no time for that, I need to finish this series in one day so so I can tell my friends what I think about it" I love to watch one episode of something which I'm watching after another but I don't finish a series all in one go unless there's only say four episodes and they're about 45 minutes long. But I hate having to watch things week by week.

Work men blocking off crossings on main/busy roads. We need a proper crossing so that we can cross the road safely.

I can't stand armchair music producers Is this just "anyone who has a negative opinion about a song's production?"
Always strikes me as a weird term, and one rooted in a view of production as nerdy, pretentious, or clever-clever. After all, people criticise the melody of songs all the time, but I never hear them get called "armchair song-writers", or whatever. "This drum beat annoys me", "Oh, get a load of armchair Ringo over here".

It's more like, we just don't care about it good or bad. It's music you put on at 100% on a bluetooth speaker or in your $25 earphones.
The melody and drum beat make up the actual core of the song.

Seems like this kind of well-you-couldn't-do-it-could-you thing only gets levelled at production-critique. The bottom line is that if we only commented on the aspects of music that we ourselves could perform to a professional standard, then the majority of us would be sat here unable to express anything at all. I can't sing, for instance, but I still think Noel sounds crap on Magic Pie. It needed Liam vocals. Does that make me an armchair vocalist? Armchair manager? Or just a person on a forum expressing an opinion on music, just as those who slag off the production of NGHFB are?

People who keep dangerous wild animals as pets. They're not pets and they belong in the wild. When will people learn and then they wonder why the animals attack them.

I could write a 10,0000 word dissertation on this but here are a few:
People who use the word "So" at the start of a answering a question or beginning to say something.
People who repeatedly say "you know" or "like" when speaking.
People who say "I get that" instead of "I understand that".
Virtue signalers.
Selfies/vanity
Social Media.
Women who befriend men so they can access his friends and so on in order to get attention, and favours etc.
Modern bedroom/house party "DJs" (ie someone buys some decks, learns to mix (badly) and calls himself a DJ). Worse still - USB stick/playlist DJs
People who play bassy beats music (eg rap, or modern "R&B") loudly in their car system at high volume so people can hear it 2 streets away.
Flash cars = penis extensions.
People addicted to their phones.

It's a common thing. Women friend-zoning guys who want more than friendship. Get with the fucking times.

Bloody women, wanting to be your friend, bastards Not what I meant - if you're too dense to understand it's about leading men on then don't comment.

People who use the word "So" at the start of a answering a question or beginning to say something. -People who start a thread on a forum and use words like "Ermm" in the thread title (for example "Ermm, why did Noel choose that to be a single?" -Articles or Youtube videos from people who can apparently read my mind because they specifically claim to know of something that apparently I didn't know. "Ten things YOU missed in the last episode of Star Wars". Funny, because I normally know most of the things in their useless little lists. Even worse is when they boldly claim to have a list of "ten things EVERYBODY missed in the last episode of Star Wars". If EVERYBODY missed these things then who is writing the article?

People who repeatedly say "you know" or "like" when speaking. I had a great podcast I loved listening to but they have a new commentator on there now who says "like" in nearly every sentence he utters and it's just got the point where it's so irritating that I've stopped listening. The last straw was when he used it seven times in one sentence and I just stopped the playback and couldn't go on. I swear that one day I'm going to download his podcast and put an irritatingly loud censor "beep" over every use of the word "like" and send it back to him to listen to. Or I could be nicer and offer to send some money to a charity of his choice if he can get through an entire podcast without using the word.
