Citizen S, I've got a Nokia and I can still dial 999 and 112 when my phone is locked - very annoying

Zantic - Who is this woman?? Posted Oct 13, 2003
The way my bum can unlock my phone, when I have it in my back pocket. And the way my handbag can do the same thing when the phone is in it.

Your body's outta practice, then, Zantic. *Any* part of mine can unlock it; in fact, my phone's trained itself to be unlocked even when it *isn't* touching anything. The most annoying is when the reverse occurs; it's been on keylock or whatever, and then someone calls you and you accidentally hang up in your pocket, or even when you're trying to get it out or answer it.

Ah..I only ever keep the thing in my back pocket or my handbag. The rest of my body gets no training. I rarely have the thing on, and even more rarely out and about with me. Tis only a means of contacting peopole when lost - not a major form of communication..

Websites that wont let you go BACK. You find a website on google and when you open it up you can't go back to google. It's very annoying. What do the people running the site think this achieves?

Mobile phones.
People who use mobile phones when driving.
People who sit clicking beepy text keys for hours on end.
The way H2G2 now says "Hello AlexoOo I'm not AlexoOo". It is giving me an identity crisis.

Oh I would've thought it's fairly simple. Hello you, I am not you. If I was you I wouldn't be me.
I'm not a huge fan of the new way of displaying conversations though.

The Groob Posted Oct 18, 2003
People who insist on yes or no answers to questions that require a fuzzy answer.
People who fuzzify issues when a yes or no would suffice.

The Groob Posted Oct 18, 2003
People who say 'goats eat anything'.
When was the last time you saw a goat tucking into a JCB smart *rse?

Ear and nasel hair. I hate seeing it on other people and I hate having it. So damn irritating and hard to get rid of. AND it keeps growing back.

Parents who have no idea how to control their awful little b*****d kids.
I know you aren't allowed to hit kids any more, but you could still use water torture, or chinese burns.

The little pixie who, each time I turn my back, switches the support stands for the keyboard to opposite positions...

The tooth What a mean thing to do, encouraging kids to loose teeth. I bet the ad exec who came up with that idea was laughing his a*s off.

Trying to find old threads on H2. Is there an easy way to do it? I want to suggest a 'find an old thread by words in the thread title' facility, but I think:
A) One exists already and I'm too stupid to find it
B) Everyone else suggests that too
Key: Complain about this post
