Software I use for work is idiotic. Run the same analysis twice, it comes out with two different answers! Einstein would be terrified.

Yes clearly you have software that obeys the laws of quantum mechanics.

Things that wound me up today:
1. If you've parked in a hospital car park that charges, and there's a big notice board stating the charges for each hour of duration, why are you puzzled when you put your ticket in to pay? Worse still, you were in the queue and had time to look at the charges and also get your money ready. You then proceeded to put the money in at a rate of one coin per ten seconds and were surprised that you hadn't paid enough despite the big display telling you how much you have left to pay after each coin.
2. I understand you have kids and you want to put the youngest in the seat on the shopping trolley. But for some reason, you chose to do this right outside the electronic barrier/gate to the supermarket. You could have placed the child in the trolley when you collected at the trolley stand outside the store. It would have saved you from having to carry the child all the way in. Next to you was an elderly couple who decided to have a chat with another elderly person, again right outside the electronic barrier. Between the lot of you, you were stopping customers from trying to enter the supermarket. Why?

Don't get me started on supermarket etiquette!
I was waiting in the checkout queue today when the chav and chavette in front started arguing over who put a block of butter in the trolley - after much swearing and shouting, it was decided that their kid must have chucked it in. So, what would any normal person do? They'd take the butter back to the fridge unit, or at least hand it to the till assistant. No, that's obviously too much hassle, she just chucked it in the bargain bin next to the checkout!
I couldn't help myself but ask whether she was going to leave that there, as it's going to melt and spoil - she just gave me the evil look! So, I grabbed it and took it back to the fridge, then said "See, it's not that bloody hard!" * another evil look *
Ignorant bitch!

And if you're going to use any discount vouchers or coupons at the checkout do try and sort them out before paying or at least have some [LIFTED] idea where they are in your purse or bag.

My mum does this and it drives me nuts. We shop at Tescos. They give us a £5 voucher towards our next spend. She stores it safely in her purse. Next week rolls around, we get to the till, pay out and whilst she puts the receipt in her purse, she remembers the previous voucher. The worst bit was the following week, I asked her if she had any vouchers (before she paid), she said no, and then remembered AFTER paying. *hits head against wall*

I just got a price comparison coupon from Tesco for use by 16th June when I have just completed a big two month shop.

What are you doing to your phones for that to happen?

Well I'm guessing it's an app or apps doing it. Sorted it anyway seemingly, wiped it and started again.

I have never had anything like that. It must be something on your phone.

Today we had to head to London. Two parties, two vehicles. I was lead driver. Had given second driver address of the destination the day before via text (even though he'd already had an invite). Went round to the second party's house and we were going to set off together. Before we did so, I told them the route (the driver and one of his passengers): M42->M40->M25->M11. Before we reached the M42, I lost the second driver because of traffic lights and there was nowhere for me to wait. Headed on to M42 southbound. Called one of the second party to confirm they needed to turn off for the M42 to head for the M40 (because they would get confused if I said southbound). What happened? They took the M42 northbound and had to go via the M6/M1, get stuck in traffic and turn up an hour late. Why? Because the driver paid more attention to the satnav than my instructions.

Sat-nav's are only useful for the last mile or two IMO. Before that you should know all the motorways / main roads / waypoints you need to look out for. I only use them for when I get to the point where streets have names rather than numbers.
