Thought it was just me that got wound up by this.

[Loz]

Ditto with video on cameras. Why???

[the-e-dealer]

Is it so they can be played back in portrait?

[Loz]

Few times you really want that, considering just about every TV screen and monitor is landscape. It also makes editing them together (should you ever want) a nightmare.

Mind you, videoing in portrait is second on my 'irrational rage' meter to people actually videoing portraits. I've been in many a gallery where people wander around from painting to painting with a video camera. I feel the searing urge to beat them over the head with said camera whilst loudly shouting obscenities. Holiday videos are generally boring at the best of times, but this really would take dullness to a new extreme. Which poor sods were they intending to inflict this horror flick on?

[BrandNewGuy]

Rival TV companies pretending the other one isn't showing the big game. BBC News: "And you can hear commentary on Radio 5 Live..." No, you can watch the bloody thing on ITV. Please don't treat us like morons.

[the-e-dealer]

you can play back in portrait on a tablet.

that the self service device in supermarkets sees no irony in urging you to "please take your change" and "please take your items" (quickly please dear) after its pissed around for 5 mins finding unexpected items, called for assistance and checked twice if I want to continue.all I wanted was to buy some wine and a bag of crisps, why must it be like this!

Motorists who dont have the politeness to give an acknowledgement when you pull over to let them pass

Getting home to find the postman has shoved something through the door while bleeding all over it. Of course I only realise that after pulling it out of the door, so then have to scrub hands and bleach brush things in letterbox.

Other senior tenants say this is definetly not allowed,

Don't think so, judging by the sheer number of bloody fingerprints.

[Jah Lush]

Somebody's dog must have taken a bite of the postman. Poor fella.

[maxxi]

Or possibly he has chronic piles from sitting down on concrete bollards for periodic rests and had just been scratching his arse.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Thank you for those words of comfort, Maxxi.

Late receipt requesters for piddly amounts of money. After till closes, "Oh, can I have a receipt for that packet of chewing gum". We all wait as the till is fumbled with several times, then the tiny piece of paper that bears the legend 77p is found and exchanged. Ask up front if you need a receipt for this PLEASE...

The news in the morning (Exhibit A, Today on Radio 4) telling me what politicians will be saying today.

The news is supposed to tell me what's happened in the world rather than be part of the political spin process. IMHO.

1. Rotherham

2. If another journalist says "to the north of Katmandu", there will be bloodshed.
