Meetings are often used as an excuse not to get work done.
Some people even put fake meetings into their online calendar at work so that people don't bother them, or they have an excuse not to answer the phone.

Lets have a meeting to see why we have so many meetings.
Absolutely - just not on a Friday !!

Usually, you can click on the 3 dots on a video and ask YouTube not to recommend videos from that channel.
It's strange that I get suggested videos both sides of the political bias. All three are very irritating in their own ways.

Surely it's better to get a spectrum of opinion than being in an echo-chamber?
(That says nothing on the quality of said output, of course)

I feel the same about cucumber and broccoli

Hate sweet corn and cucumber but love broccoli....which tastes even better with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese on top.

I'm with you.
As soon as I see 1 bit of sweetcorn in anything, that's it, I wont touch it.

Without being too clinical, sweetcorn appears to leave the body in more or less the same condition as it went in. I really don’t see what benefit the body gets from it.I'm with you.

It has the advantage that you can see whether your digestive system is processing your intake of food at the correct rate. Eat a load of sweetcorn at a meal and then watch… (This is actually a genuine medical tip.)

Not if you chew it properly...
I must admit, I like those two.
I'm with you.

It's one of those things people seem to feel the need to chuck in everything without telling anyone. Horrible texture, disgusting taste.
I find that if you have something that has the name of a proper foodstuff with the prefix "sweet" before it, it's invariably rubbish:
Sweet corn
Sweet potatoes
Sweet chilli
Sweet peas..etc

I'm with you on sweetcorn, but not on sweet potato. Mmm, sweet potato, ooh I've got myself hungry!
Sweet potato is fine. It is when it is used instead of ordinary potato to try and make a recipe seem more 'special' I usually decline. 'Cottage pie with sweet potato mash' for example.

Looking at the thread title, not sure he qualifies as "comedic"
Websites stopping me from logging in with the almost mocking "Have you forgotten your password?", when in fact they have forgotten it, either because I have not logged in for some time or because they have quietly introduced new password rules and deleted all those that do not comply.
I'm looking at the BBC iPlayer facility for the former and my local council for the latter. Last year the council locked me out because they thenceforth required at least one letter to be upper case, and having sorted that at the time, they now require a 10+ character password, mine having been 8 characters until now.

Bus passengers who watch films on hand-held devices without headsets: they have the volume up high, often so high that it distorts into an unpleasant howling or scraping noise at times. I have had a spate of these recently: one woman was watching a film that, even if it wasn’t R18, was probably either 15 or 18 classification and the whole lower deck, including children, could hear a scene involving energetic bedroom gymnastics.

Kids probably already seen it.
Bus passengers who hold inane and pointless conversations on their phones, with the person on the other end on speakerphone, so that the whole bus can hear everything that is being said.
Bus passengers who are so absorbed in their phone that they miss their stop until just as the driver is pulling away from it, and then expect the driver to stop in the middle of the road and let them off.

Correct, but he certainly qualifies as “irritate“….Looking at the thread title, not sure he qualifies as "comedic"

God that’s even worse. Who would want to chew sweetcorn?

Particularly so with "real life" fly-on-the-wall documentaries, such as "Traffic Cops", "Road Wars", "Police Interceptors' and the suchlike, where the production team(s) don't have all that much original footage to work with, and thus have to pad it out somewhat.
Even worse is when the 'on tonights' and 'after the break' bits show all the best bits and are basically spoilers.
