Netflix needs to fuck right off

With it's judgy 'are you still watching' message that pops up at a climax moment and I can only see my tired, greasy reflection on the screen as I stuff the final mince pie in my mouth in an attempt to eat the last of the Xmas stockpile before I start healthy eating for my New Year's resolution. Xmas Grin

What light-hearted, petty things in your life need to fuck right off?

My car thinks my handbag on the seat is a passenger. Stop with the beeping, my bag is not required by law to wear a seatbelt. Sigh!

Love this thread!

I work in a hospital. If I type 'rota' in a WhatsApp or text it auto text converts to 'Rita'. Strangely enough I never need to type 'Rita'......

This thread is brilliant 😂😂
My pet peeve - packets (eg bacon/ham etc) with “pull here to open tabs” that don’t bloody work!!! Drives me insane - and every time, I foolishly hope that this packet will be different 🙈😂

Virgin media replacing our hub every few weeks instead of accepting the problem is their line.

bpirockin · 03/01/2021 18:41

I don't have Netflix but that sounds seriously annoying!

Imsosorryalan75 · 03/01/2021 18:42

Loving these fuck offs.
Mine is actually the small mumsnet ad popping up in the corner that gets in the way of the posts and I have to physically press the 'close ad' cross. "No I dont want to cook healthier!" Leave me to read posts in peace!!

The pocket of my dressing dressing gown getting caught on a door handle as I walk past and stopping me in my tracks. Gives me rage every time. I need to grow a foot taller to reduce the risk.

jambeforeclottedcream · 03/01/2021 18:48

My car beeps because I've left the lights on. The only redeeming quality about my old car is that the lights switched off with the engine. Why can't this car do the same

And yes Netflix I'm still watching you but you don't give the countdown of doom like My tv does when it's about to switch off

And phone I really don't appreciate you letting me know how much screen time I've had last week. Some of it was for work so important although a lot of was also mn related

The woman who looks like Davina McCall on the Mumsnet home page pic about all the babies coming in 2021.

It's annoying when the telly suddenly announces it's shutting down unless you press enter....then there's mayhem throwing cushions everywhere, looking for the channel changer.

CandidaAlbicans2 · 03/01/2021 18:51

I browse MN on my Chromebook, and because the selection of MN emojis is a bit rubbish (IMHO of course) I've enabled my "on-screen keyboard" so I have the choice of loads. It pops up whenever I set my cursor on a text box, which is fine for here but a PITA in Gmail as it covers the area I'm typing in! So I'm constantly having to either maximise the email screen or minimising the o-s keyboard 🙄

Apple's Magic Mouse. So called because it magically knows the most inconvenient moment to announce that it's run out of charge. Whereupon you have to plug in a non-magical mouse because some twat decided to put the charging port on the underneath.

The TV guide screen on Sky. My DH seems incapable of selecting a fucking programme and is happy to watch the tiny picture in the corner!

@Oysterbabe

My husband always putting the news on BBC1 HD then fucking off somewhere so when the local news comes on I just get a red screen and have to get up to find the remote. It really winds me up.

This, this. My husband can't believe it wasn't me that posted this. And neither can I !

Henry smirked at me once too often and I kicked him when he fell over
My horrified dad adopted him and adores him and would never dream of kicking him Hmm

My fitness pal sending me notifications that I haven't logged my breakfast/lunch/ dinner. No I am not going to because I'm a greedy fat cow and the calorie graph will go into red again. Fitness Pal is NOT my pal.

When you are browsing on the Argos site and it states ' 5 people are looking at this' so what I don't give a flying f* who else is looking at a floral duvet cover!!!
