I'll take a shot that may be way off target, but are you talking about sites that won't let you back button out? If so, and you're using IE, the little black arrowhead next to the backbutton will let you escape by clicking on the site you want from the list that pops up.

If you're talking about something else, then sorry, nevermind.

Songs that get stuck in your head. Several times over the last few weeks I've been hearing "God is watching us from a distance" and to a lesser degree "God is an awesome God" - don't ask me why!

Shawnee123 · 02-28-2007, 12:50 PM

Ha! That song "God is watching us from a distance" I always think: why? he doesn't want to get too close?

Thanks, though, it has now replaced Joyride which was in my head earlier.

Rap... almost always... actually more than almost always... Come to think of it, I don't recall any Rap music I have ever liked. I made a decision... All Rap music annoys me...

Dolly Partons voice after two consecutive songs... <fingernails scratching on chalkboard>

Rap is 3/4 crap ... and the other 1/4 is just as bad

Could be worse. This song hasn't aired on television for years and it still annoys me.

I watched it--but I still wanted to punch those kids.

I never heard that before. Tinfoil helmet must prevent it from entering my brain, though, since I'm not experiencing any negative effects.

I may have mentioned this before, but it's a genuine cri de coeur so please forgive me.

Marks & Spencers. Old people. Lunchtime.

They move so slowly, they can't walk and talk at the same time so will stop right in front of you if asked a question by their other half, they block the aisles while treating the place as a social club, they have no peripheral vision and are not respecters of personal space. Every time I have had a trolley or a shopping bag pressing against the back of my legs in a queue it has been an old person.

I go into the 5 till Basket Only queue now. Old people don't tend to use this because 1) they need trolleys to keep them upright and 2) they can't deal the fact the person at the front has to keep an eye on which is the next till free - they always have to be summoned by the cashier shouting, "Who's next please!" three or four times and it flusters them. Goodness knows why, the same system is in place in the Post Office and they spend half their lives there.

They get up at 05.30 in the morning, so why on earth are they in town between 12.00-14.00 when the rest of us are trying to grab a sandwich and a drink? Why can't they go there first thing when the rest of us are safely at our desks nursing our first coffee? Let them buy their tins of stewing steak and bags of oranges then.

Small shops and newsagents, especially in villages, often have signs saying, "Two schoolchilden at a time only" because kids with their big schoolbags, loud voices and low spending power just clog the shops up and annoy normal people. Also the less schoolkids in shops at a time, the less likely one will be to slip a Mars Bar up their sleeve. I understood this as a schoolchild, and certainly have no problem with it now I'm older.

I just think M&S should apply the same restrictions to old people.

Please note I also believe students should receive lessons in supermarket shopping when they first come to University - I am equal opportunity intolerant.

I've had this same beef for years. My brother once mentioned trying to get a quick fast food run in (at places where only a half an hour is allotted for lunch) and there is grandma and grandpa with grandchildren Tyler, Taylor, and Skyler (complete with bowl haircuts and hair tails) trying to decide if it's Taylor or Tyler who likes barbeque sauce. Also, they should stay out of the banks. I've said it before...they have all freaking day!
