How my laptop keeps saying 'record high' when it's 18c The age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

Another 1 is when you lend out a DVD and they put it back in upside down.

I try to never, ever lend out any films, you may as well say goodbye to them forever :P

My pet peeve at the moment (I have many) is starting a sentence with "So..."

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

Satisfaction surveys.

Far too many of them, for trivial things. Leave me alone.

I agree. Every purchase seems to have a request on the receipt to leave feedback. I usually refuse to give the store my email.
My car was serviced this week. So far I've had an email from the garage/dealer and 2 from the manufacturer asking me to rate my experience. Before I took it to the garage I had an email on 4 consectutive days telling me I could check my car in online for its service. I even had a text 4 days before. What on earth??!! Just go away!

There are a lot of them, but if they ask me to review how good an individual was (for example, you contacted BT and spoke to someone) I'll usually take a minute to fill one in.

I worked in customer support for a large company and a sizeable chunk of my salary was performance/review rated.

Obviously that only applies if you were happy with the outcome. If I wasn't happy I'd rather leave no review than a bad one... unless they were absolutely horrendous :P

When groceries are delivered and I'm given a substitute for something out of stock which I didn't ask for.

Another peeve of mine. I send a video clip to some guy on YouTube and then they spaltter their watermark all over it. That really gets my goat up.....

Another 1 and this is a biggy for me.

These bloody so called " Auditors " who sit outside a Police Station or somewhere important and a Police officer or security guard comes out and takes the bait. These bloody auditors need banning from YouTube as they just piss me off big time.

I have a lot more. They are for another day lol. ;)

People who think car indicators are a decoration and don't use them. I've driven around 200 miles today, most of it on motorways, and I was appalled how many drivers don't use them when changing lanes. :O

Look-down selfies. They scream insecurity.

People who say "no that's not true" after I've told the truth. Worse is when they say "are you sure you're not saying that because..."
(ironically it tends to be social workers who talk this way. Oh but they're so full of empathy. Just another BS job. If you want advice about your mental health then see a doctor. Hell even an engineer would be better.)

Sports fans calling someone a GOAT in every comment section.
