My peeve is when people at supermarkets have finished loading their stuff into the back of their car but then can't be arsed to wheel their trolley to the trolley stand so they just abandon it in an empty space instead. The number of times I've swung my car into a parking space around the back of another car only to have to slam the anchors on to avoid piling into a stray trolley is ridiculous.

I LOVE this phrase!! In the US we would say "slam on the brakes" but from no on I'm slamming on my anchors!!!

One day a very mean person really pushed my button. It doesn't happen very often I respond but I did only to have my post vanish with a page load error. So I thought whatever - I had better things to do than to retype words.

I used to rarely get this on CD....but in the last couple of weeks, I notice it more and more. I've gotten used to copying my longer posts before clicking send....just in case.
But, YES, it is very aggravating and makes me "peeved".

I also find this happening right around 4:30 am each morning
Make me wonder if thats when they are doing site maintenance or some kind of updates to the site.
I have sometimes been able to recover the post I typed by hitting the back button.
I have gotten into the habit (because I am on a lot at 4:30) of copying the stuff I typed before hitting submit just in case.

Yup anywere from 3:30 - 4:45 it's slow as molasses even shuts down at times, it's click sit, wait and wonder, doin back up i guess
