Things that annoy you.com ,The new thread by Ad7 - HAPPY DAYS!

There was no limit at the time. For example one customer came in an cleared the entire shelf end (3 shelves, 3 high , 6 wide and probably 10 deep) of Jaffa cakes. I think it was something daft like 200 boxes of them, the entire shop allocation for the entire day gone at 7am because some twat wanted to sell them on for profit at a car boot sale (seriously). They put the limit in shortly after.

So yes, I think buying 200 boxes of jaffa cakes is taking the piss.

I guess we'll have to agree that I'm right and you're wrong, ho-hum.

I hope you get flattened by 200 boxes of jaffa cakes.

The perfect way to die

But not real jaffa cakes, I'm talking own brand ones.

You have to eat your way out of the pile, but you've eaten own brand jaffa cake equivalents and have to live with that for the rest of your life.

M&S ones are better than McVities 'real' ones.

Costco had/have 100 Jaffa cakes for £4 hope this helps everybody.

Kevin McCloud. I used to like Grand Designs but he talks so much strawberry floating bullshit all the strawberry floating time, I can't watch it without getting angry.

Although on this occasion, the people building the house were strawberry floating annoying too. Describing a bookshelf as being organic. strawberry float sake.

Supposedly legit websites pulling advertising gooseberry fool like this on mobile devices:


I feel like I'm being reasonable by not turning ad blockers on when it comes to my tablet/phone but when they do stuff like this it's like screw 'em.

Same. Really shocked at some of the stuff that gets approved on the Double Click network too (now Google).

Oh well. Welcome to GRcade. It's safer here.

I really don’t understand how some companies think that their advertising is acceptable. That above is appalling, but even some genuine adverts just ruin your browsing experience and really doesn’t make you want to buy anything from them and must drive people away from the website itself as well.

Cracked is particularly bad to browse on a phone nowadays, constant adverts popping up when you are trying to read something, usually getting stuck on the screen so you have to reload the entire article.

I guess advertisers are in trouble as people ignore unobtrusive adverts, but we really need to find a system where the solution is something other than driving people insane or forcing people to block all advertising.

On a similar theme is sites that ask you to do a survey about your experience with the site as you arrive on the site.....

Can anyone recommend a good adblocker for Chrome on Android? Preferably one that also prevent new tabs being opened by ads.

The lego shop is terrible for that! The survey loads before the webpage as well so youre being asked to take a survey for a site you cant even see yet.

Wankers!



If it's any consolation, some of those people have only managed to sell one of the three mini SNES they bought.

But not all sexism, just sexism towards women.

I agree, sexism towards non-binary identifiers needs to be a hate crime, too.

I hate this as well.

If I want to do the survey give mea link on the page somewhere and I might click it. If you make it pop up you can strawberry float off.
