I enjoy shoulder barging people who think I've not seen them who then make a beeline to collide with me. Beware short, blond, sociopaths... ] My company's database thinking it needs to steal focus every time a page loads. It takes so long to do anything that I'm busy working in a different window, only to suddenly have focus snap back to it when it catches up. Glad no-one hears me turn the air blue while I'm WFH.

JK chameleon Jun 2021 12:34pm, 4 Jun 2021 14,412 posts	Quote Pin JK chameleon +1 for that. My housemate has to use a mobility scooter, and people having a chat mid-aisle, or leaving their trolleys across the aisles leave him with the options of either waiting for people to stop being selfish, move them himself, or (as he often resorts to) passive aggressive cursing. Add into that the looks he gets for being a relatively young chap in a scooter, and it all is a thoroughly unpleasant experience for him.

When Bowie sings 'Starman' on Top of the Pops, y'know the classic performance that sent him into super-stardom, there's a nerdy kid in a tanktop dancing in the crowd as if he couldn't give a monkeys about who he is actually meant to be dancing to or why he is there - in fact he could be described as being a bit 'spaced out.' That little twerp winds me up a lot every time I see it. Feel better now though
