Driven to MadnessCaptain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Remote controlWe rarely watch TV shows live. We record things and then play them back, mainly to avoid adverts but also so my boyfriend can rewind to listen to a bit of dialogue he missed (because he was talking) or make me listen to a bit of music that he thinks sounds like a bit of some other music or point out some illogical point about the plot or has gotten confused about who is who and what they're doing.
That's irritating enough but what is worse is that he can never get the hang of rewinding and never goes far enough back. He always rewinds to a second or so after the bit he wants to see and then spends ages going backwards and forwards to get to exactly the right spot.
I wouldn't mind but this mostly happens when we're watching Corrie.

Haha.I've got a mate with a bit of a short attention span. His brother told me he once caught him watching a recording of the snooker at 2x because normal was 'too slow'.

Is that you?Haha, if you'd said 'husband' rather than 'boyfriend', I would have wondered if my wife was on b3ta and posting about me. I do this too, sorry.
A particular favourite is watching DVDs, spotting inaccuracies or bloopers, then rewinding it back and making my wife look up from her book / kindle so that I can show her that the inside of the plane is a 737 but the outside is a 747 etc! Can't help myself...

Mrs Groover......does this when catching up with all the Corries that she's missed. Lack of advert avoidance skills lengthens my suffering.

It's like you've been in my house. Other half does this ALL of the time. That and never being able to fast forward through adverts without over shooting by about 7 minutes or will randomly stop advancing halfway through the ad break "because he gets bored".
