when you are doing something so obvious, such as gardening, you are digging a hole, someone says,
"Digging a hole in the garden are you?"

Chewing gum on the streets. My local town is covered in it. I think the manufacturers should make it biodegradable.

Sticky labels on things you buy. Especially nice things you have bought as presents and then you can't get the price label off.

Complicated technology........I want to be able to switch something on and get it to work without needing to read a manual the thickness of War and Peace first.

Then why do computers bring up weird warnings about things in gobbledegook which don't make any sense but make you worry what on earth is happening?
