Couple of things annoying me today.

Firstly, I ordered a new wireless keyboard and mouse online. It was dispatched last Friday and I still haven't received it. My tracking app said it had been collected by the courier on Saturday and was on route. On Tuesday, the app updated to say they couldn't deliver it and I needed to contact the sender immediately. Did this, the sender said they would create a case file and find out what was going on and get back in touch with me within 36 hours. I'm still waiting.

Secondly, somewhat trivial but I've been reading through comments and suggestions on xenForo.com (our forum software) about an upcoming major software update and, to be honest, I just want to tell them all to shut the fuck up. Never seen so much pettiness. If some of these people are forum admins I dread to think what their forums are like. I honestly think most of them want the software tailored to their needs and their needs only.

What has annoyed you today?

Those people who phone you from a call centre in India and say their name is Eric, John or Jimmy. If they were just honest with me from the very start never mind the crap they spout when offering me a "free" mobile phone then I wouldn't be so nasty to them.

On the way home from work yesterday - a person decided that the spot before a busy t-junction was an intelligent place to pull in and let people out.

Just saw a young couple shopping in Lidl - a trolley each - going up the aisle side by side and not moving to let anyone past. Pure selfishness.

My right boot lace keeps becoming undone. I've tied it three or four times today already, and I can feel that it's undone again. One side is way longer than the other so maybe I should just re-lace it.

I've been really pissed at the weather over the past few days. I've not been able to do either my 5km walk or 10km run as the rain has been relentless since Wednesday.

Have been looking forward to a few drinks tonight, but all of a sudden I'm feeling really tired and completely lacking in any energy at all.
