When you spend ages typing a big long post and then just delete it cos you realise you are being a grumpy git.
Or spend ages writing a long, ranty post then delete it because it's not ranty enough, damnit.
(And there aren't enough ranty, angry smilies.
doesn't really do it.)
Or set out to post the kind of rant that not only gets the poster banned from the site, but banned from the internet, and villagers lighting pitch forks, but get about 3 words in and realise it wont make a shit of difference and it's all too much bother.

It's new version of working your way through the Kama Sutra. You subscribe for a daily update from urbandictionary for latest thing invented by a 25 year old virgin on the internet.

"Liked" both for the fact I had to look it up on Google and for the instant karma given out.

Being crap at personal admin

Some toerag nicked my daughters Iphone in London. Lifted off table in Wagamama. poor child is distraught and very upset. Poor daddy is poor and very miffed, but insurance (after hefty excess) should cover most of it... they better! Have to drive in and collect her now. Her friend called police and reported it for her and I got the sim cancelled. Need to log into her Itunes account and kill phone via that if I can.

This seems really common in London at the moment, made easier with tables being outside. Someone comes over with a clip board, paper, map etc. They put it down on the table to show it to you and when you tell them to bog off they disappear with whatever the prop was covering on the table.

Can't argue with that. I work really hard to avoid doing any.
My dad was a painter and decorator, how he managed to face going to work every day I'll never know

Captcha pictures. Must have had to do them about 8 times now rather than just once. Im sure British Gas just do it to piss you off and start using there app
Are you using a virtual private network (VPN)? I've found that swapping my VPN's location stops captchas happening.

Those pictures and your clicks are valuable in training AI apps, I'd not be surprised if BG is making money out of your irritation.

AFAICT it's not using VPN as such, more it how the website reacts to the VPN. Search engines sometimes ask for a captcha, giving the reason as too many searches from one IP address. Switching locations and closing and reopening the webpage stops this.
