People at work feeling cold, so instead of putting on their jacket/jumper thats sitting over the back of their chair, they think its better to turn on the central heating fans, to make it hotter for everyone else, who probably aren't cold at all, in fact, probably the opposite.

Same at my work mate :(


People who have meetings in the staff canteen and get all pissed off because off the noise and really drives me up the wall.

I appear to have broken one of my back teeth, and don't have a dentist. Bugger.

^ I'm in a similar boat. Can only really chew on the right side of my mouth due to two cavities on the left.

People in this country who say "season" instead of "series".

People anywhere who do it, since most modern series span at least two seasons.

Managed to get into the emergency dentist this afternoon, and I'm only £17.50 lighter. Unfortunately, I'm also one tooth lighter. Turns out it had a chuffing great hole in it, and was too far gone for a filling, So it was either expensive, long and risky root canal treatment, or have it yanked out then and there. It was actually painless, and the dentist was rather fit as well

Bloody downloadable games!

I got Darksiders as part of PS+, and as seems to be the annoying way of ripping people off as much as possible, there isn't a manual.

I've spent ages looking for one. The official site is a total waste of time and kept spelling things wrong after I continually changed the language to English, then it asked for my age backwards, then there was no manual. Google wasn't any help getting one either, and I'm getting more and more annoyed.

I'm glad I didn't spend money on this "copy of a game".

Why would anyone ever pay money for a game that fills up your drive, you have to delete later to put something else on and therefore don't have any more to play, you don't get a manual (so have no idea what certain things are for, or what you are missing, etc), and don't actually own anything? The future of gaming is a load of crap.

Rant over.

To be fair, muppet fingers are really wide so texting must be difficult for them.

:D

For those people who probably still think of cars as "magic carriages" I'm sure the way the hard drive goblins and pixies appear to swallow your games FOREVER once you've hit "delete" can be a bit of a worry.
Chill out by throwing some turnips at your local witch and wait for Merlin to turn up with some leeches if that's the case.

Yes folks, ignorant luddites do grind my gears.
