ATM machines won't give out money if the pin number is wrong.

I had to read the whole thread to see if anyone picked up on this Ian......but whooshkah...straight over their heads

No, I had picked up on it and submitted a like.

At work we have a common printer. It has 3 trays. A sign on the printer says “please fill the paper tray if you use the last of the paper”.

I regularly try and print - only to find that there is no paper in any of the 3 x 500 sheet trays..

Yep. Where I worked in my previous job with a major international telco, I was the Principal Technical Officer and 2IC of the group (much to the chagrin of a Grade 3 engineer from the sub-continent to the north of Oz). He would come to my office to tell me the printer was out of paper - fully expecting me to get one of the other technical officers to refill it.

My reply was invariably, "Well then, go fill it, Pradeep." He would then wander off to fill it - probably muttering under his breath.

Adverts that say something is ‘2 times faster’ instead of ‘twice as fast’ tick me off no end.

Shop greeters.

There insistence on trying to start a conversation when i could think of nothing i hate more than talking to a complete stranger pretending to be happy and care what they have to say.
Even when looking the opposite way when entering they still try spark up a convo.

GO AWAY!

Drivers that either don't use their indicators or use once it they have already entered the roundabout or changed lanes.

In particular - people who indicate right when entering a roundabout but going straight ahead. So I am stopping on the other side expecting them to turn right - after all they are indicating just that - and they exit straight ahead with right indicator still going. So I stopped for nothing. Then of course when someone does the correct thing and indicates right because they are turning right I am tempted to ignore them and not give way - that cant end well. Sets up all sorts of problems on local round abouts. Doubt it is just a local problem. The theme seems to be that those drivers 1 dont know the rule and 2 dont even understand why indicators exist. I would have thought the name 'indicator' might provide a clue?
