When people who are late with their birthday wishes on social media wish the recipient a “Happy belated birthday.”

No, no, and again no. It’s not their birthday which is late, you clown. It’s your acknowledgement of it.

Petty, I know, but it really grinds my gears.

I’ll raise you a cyclist wearing black, with no lights riding down a country lane at 8pm in winter

Turned into a road the other day to be confronted by a cyclist....on the wrong side of the road, playing on his phone, not looking and not holding the handlebars
And I got the earful when had to take evasive action...

Now I wonder how we got to that situation??

Granted but spelling and punctuation police are a source of irritant for a good few on here too

Then this is the perfect place for them to air their irritation, hopefully unopposed.

I have no interest in a film making golf look really bad. The guy should never have been in Open Qualifying - he then consistently lied and submitted false applications to do it again. He was an utter nob.

Specsavers insisting you still wear a mask in store.
Pointless.

Todays attempted telephone scam

A nice Asian man telling me that they need to do a refund for overcharge on my washing machine warranty. So, they need my bank details. Now we've got a 3 month old washing machine with only the manufacturer's warranty, so he asked how I'd like the refund and, apparently, cash in hand wasn't the right answer so he hung up ??

Bit judgemental James ?

Get yourself a BT handset with Call Blocking; only puts through numbers that are in your phone directory, anyone else has to announce themselves and having heard who it is you either choose to answer or not. We were getting loads of these, since we’ve had call blocking we’ve had none. ?

Why? Their shop, their rules.

I agree, but I think under current rules it’s classed as a “healthcare setting”. Of which it’s still required.
I know I’ll need to source one for the dentist on Thursday.

I think mine will do call blocking so must have a look. We haven't had may of these type of calls for some while

Even when you want to try on glasses ?.
