minor things that make you fume

A very dismal defeat to the filth. @Bishop Thumpety-Thump Loads of blues fans are angry over on big footy. But up to now i feel that Teague has been doing a good job. But really surrending to the filth, in the manner that we did in that second half, is unforgivable.
Feels like a massive kick in the balls losing to that lot. At least I won't be getting grief in the boozer tomorrow. One good thing about our pubs being closed.
 

Radio adverts.

Specifically ones that go like this.

"You could save loads of money (Cha-ching sound) by choosing Papa Shango Stores. From car accessories (vroom, vroom) to babies nappies (crying brat sound) find us at.." etc etc.

I know what money, cars and babies are! I dont need the sound effects.

Actually now I have started...there is an advert on Talksport for advertising with them and it's done in a couple of different ways but with the same content, a blokey bloke one, a Wolf of Wall Street One (which does my head in) but the biggest annoyance is one that I don't even know the reference for. It sounds a bit like Richard Attenborough mixed with the twilight zone and the cadence of the persons voice DOES MY HEAD IN! I

I am off now... I have one more, it's another radio one but its a really weird one that is very hard to explain. Hopefully someone gets what I mean but I doubt it...

Any radio advert for horse racing seems to have the same sound bite in the background, basically it sounds like the traps releasing the horses and then the noise of some hooves...you are all with me so far right?

However, after about a second of this soundbite there is a very faint noise, it sounds like...well how can I explain it? A goat bleating, but not just a goat, more like an annoying woman doing an impression of a goat bleating? It only happens once and in the same place every single time as it's obviously a stock soundbite that everyone uses....

Am I going mad?

I get you mate. The adverts on the radio are incredibly annoying. Talksport is terrible. It's usually about 10-12 minutes of programming followed by 5 minutes of adverts. My solution was to stop listening to the radio. I always have a pod cast ready to listen to in the car now.
 

My phone still has a headphone jack but I was bought a pair of fairly cheap bluetooth earphones as a present. Never going back - never realised how annoying that wire was until it was gone.

I think the technical reason might be that because bluetooth headphones are now widely available it presents the opportunity to get shut of the headphone jack and free up some valuable real estate. They're quite large, you can't make them smaller and they're quite prone to being one of the first parts to stop working properly.
Yep, and if you don't want to buy bluetooth earphones, you can get a small adapter for your earphones which you can then plug into the charger
