No it's definitely not, people on their phones like this should be publicly flogged  ;D

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Anyone caught talking on speakerphone in public should never be allowed to own a phone again :)

It's usually folk over 30 anyone under don't use phones to talk!

I've heard people (under 30 mostly) say  they would rather order  food on an app rather than  over the phone as they don't have to talk  to someone  when ordering and when the driver arrives,  they don't have to  converse with them. They just mumble a  thanks , meal is paid for and no  time waiting on change etc. 

Technology is  destroying us all.

That's near as bad as trying to just pull one tissue out of the box without half a dozen hitch-hikers coming along for the ride.

Don't know if it's an American thing but those wee steel hooks you use to hang the ornaments on the tree. Every year pull them out of the box and one big feckin clump!

That's a pain  in the hole

 I can't stand  when people   hang coat hangers on the rail  with the hook facing  back towards you.  It's bloody mayhem  taking one off the rail especially when  some hooks  are facing  the other way. All hooks  should be facing  away from you.

Adverts during sports games.. I don't know if anyone was watching ITV but the side by side advert and match was a shock to the system

Although they were on during a break in play they are an innovation we can do without.

I mentioned it on the rugby thread, should've posted in here. That's the start of it now

I think the TMO watched the ads more than the actual replays he was meant to watch.

But, yes they were a pain in the hole.
