Trying to find the cursor on my Monitor at times, the little bastard!!

Pssst, if you go in mouse settings there’s a box you can tick (can’t remember what it is called now) that does a funky circular radar thing around the cursor and it’s been there since windows 3.11 at least. 

I remember when I first started work having to turn this on for the olduns (40+) struggling to find their cursors on their 14” VGA monitors…

Yeah went and Google'd that after... whats life without a good whinge and meme though

People adding 'super' in front of everything. 

I'm super excited.

I'm super new here.

I'm super this, super that. 

Aaaarrrghhh!!!

Even heard people use the word twice so something is "super super" because one "super" just wasn't enough for them.

Of course it's perfectly acceptable if used for players such as Clive Mendonca or Kevin Lisbie. 

That is a super good point

overuse of the word literally.

some people seem to literally start every sentence with it.

This is quite literally a super point, well made.

It's the use of the word literally someone means metaphorically that gets me. The result can be ludicrous, such as the athletics commentary that one of the runners "is literally eating up the track!"

One I always remember was during the coverage of the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Some tv reporter had a guest in a helicopter above Wembley for no discernible reason and her comment was along the lines of "We're hovering over Wembley Stadium and <guest> has literally just dropped a bombshell!".

I could of been more pacific if you'd arksed me the question in the first place.

Frankly some of the comments come across as lapsadaisical.

But then again, I could care less.

Tv shows that have that but at the end where they tell you a bit of whats happening in next week’s episode. 

At least some now have the "Skip" button when that comes on, so it's improving.
