People that ask your opinion and then ignore it and do their own thing.

Idiot: "I have a mail merge to do for 100 people, should I do it as one document or split it down a bit?"
Me: "Do it as one, that's what a mail merge is for"
Idiot: "yeah but what if that's TOO large as they will have two pages each?"
Me: "It will be fine, it's only going to be 200 pages overall"
Idiots: "yeah but I think I might split it and do it as smaller files"
Me: "THEN WHY strawberry floating ASK ME"

I think some people do it because they love the sound of their own voice and just want somebody to talk at, some do it to think out loud, and others do it so they can truthfully say that they've discussed something with a colleague (or whoever) and then - when it inevitably gets questioned - they can say "well I discussed it with so-and-so and we agreed that it was the best approach", etc.

Also, when you unsubscribe from a company's constant emailing but they ignore it and keep spamming you anyway.

That's the reason for this particular person. She just can't shut up.

I am going to buy her some crisps so at least I can hear something other than her voice. ;)

It's a reboot of a successful franchise.

What could possibly go wrong?

The worst is people who ask you question and then ask the same question to someone else immediately after. Stop wasting my time.

When film trailers say dates of film releases like "July nine" or "December twenty-two".

Just...no. :fp:

British or American trailers?

The American dating system is strawberry floating crazy. It makes far more sense to use day/month/year than month/day/year.

And it’s not just because I am used to the British way, if the Americans used year/month/day then at least it would be logical. Although those silly bastards would probably just use year/day/month just to strawberry float with us.

Americans putting the month before the day. :dread:

See also the way they give some foods stupid strawberry floating names, arugula(rocket), garbanzo beans(chick peas) and cilantro(coriander) being the worst offenders for this gooseberry fool.

They're on UK TV channels...do they even bother with different trailers these days? Either way, they don't even say July ninth (which would be wrong but still acceptable), it's July nine. Why? Sounds so gooseberry fool and wrong. :x

They also say times incorectly, so ten past nine is said as 'ten after nine' :dread:

They are so stupid. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if one day they ended up electing a reality TV star as President.

3D is kind of crap. Best part is the logos at the start of each movie.
