What small and stupid thing has recently gotten your goat?


Mine would be spell checks that never give you the right suggestion for what you want even though you only barely misspelled something.

Completing a Global Challenge quiz and being told that there is no record of my having started it, even though there are still two or three minutes left.

A different way of looking at it, Bookchatting: you're proud of your friend for making a newcomer feel welcome. Does that make it any better?

Open a page online, and within seconds it's covered by an advert for hair colour, which gets bigger and bigger; or a car, which spreads hideously, like a spilt drink; or roll-over ads which cover the screen if your mouse goes a hair's breadth over them.

Sometimes you can see a cross immediately that you can click to close the hideous spreading thing; sometimes you have to wait for it to appear - meanwhile you can do nothing but stare at it and wish it would go away; occasionally the only way to get rid of them is to give up and close the page down.

Always - they're annoying.

So's this:
"Post ignored. If you aren't going to post something that takes more than a few words, it's not worth posting."

Yes, the 'post ignored' thing! At first, I didn't know what was wrong! The explanation is written small, and I thought there was a problem with my computer, or the site.

It just makes you go back, and add some silly text so the post is accepted!

How does £65.00 to treat a guinea pig with diarrhoea grab you?

A rather nice little earner, I think, but then I'm not a vet.
(The vets will probably put me right though. Any veterinarians here?)

Two vet friends of mine - one only does small animals, cats dogs etc.
The other large animals, horses,cows..etc

After seeing both of them in action (this time my animals) I know which one deserves the money!

A taxi driver who won't admit he doesn't know where I want to go, and asks me which direction I "prefer" to take.

When a thread is marked for deletion, and people still post in it.

no offense to the RMG, but when threads get deleted that you like.

But, in your favor romeo, Posts that say "don't post here" and peeps do.
