I hate this too, do a lot of work with a third party company offshore, and apparently they've been told we find it rude if they just go straight into it without a greeting and then waiting for a response.

Just had a security update on my Lenovo tablet.
After it was done, it told me to "click here" to complete the update.
That "completion" was an attempt to install loads of unwanted apps, and I had to individually de-select each one to prevent them being installed

Yeah, I hate it in person as well - pointless small talk. "Hi - how was your weekend?" You obviously haven't crossed the room and approached me at my desk to find out how many double bogeys I got on Sunday, just tell me what you want.
Next time, actually start to talk them through your round. Maybe discuss shortening your swing, how it is slightly shorter but not as much as you think it is. Trying to reduce your fade etc.

Makes me wonder what we did wrong to have to put up with it.

There are one or two players in our group to whom, in the clubhouse, you never ask "How'd you get on?", unless you want to see a group coma manifest.
Sometimes, innocent newbies ask and you can hear a collective stifled groan around the table, or someone get up insisting it's their round.

I had a friend like that, he's ended up ostracising himself as everyone had enough of his BS.Someone in our golf group messaged me asking for another players number.
All our numbers are available in the online Club directory.
I had the gasman and sky engineer in ny living room at the time, so quickly forgot.
Four hours later he messages again, 'WELL??"
Ah, but @Orikoru wants to stop them asking the pointless question, get straight to the point. This is a surefire way of making sure it's a once only event

Travel company On the Beach radio ad tagline/strap line delivered by Paddy McGuiness Stop booking around. Suppose to be cheeky humor...I find it just rather childish and crass.
And yes - it's MY random irritation - so I don't care if nobody else is bothered

We're watching Grantchester again. My wife is annoyed because I keep asking, every week, why, in every series, a bluddy vicar plays Columbo and solves the crime with Inspector Keating.

I wasn't the greatest fan of it - but at least FCUK stood for something...and so wasn't really invented with the pretence of being something other than what it said - a bit like my old Alma Mater in a rebranding exercise way back when, deciding to not call itself Paisley Institute of Science and Technology...though it was quite apt.

Once had a colleague in a different department send me a teams message at 2:30 in the morning. We both generally work 9-5, but she felt the need to tell me this info then.
I called her out the next day as wondered whether it was delayed due to poor internet or something, but no she consciously sent it at that time

Last night’s “Love It or List It”, should really have been an episode of “Location, Location, Location”.
Also the chef on “Great British Menu” who admitted that he had only ever practiced his starter once and had never made his fish course before - Spencer and Andi were rightly not impressed.
