I like using it to say something is a waste of time or too much trouble; it’s a faff…

[Lio → sbuk]

Now, I’d say the really correct usage would be “a bit of a faff” but if you find saying that too much faff it’s all the same to me mate.

Anyway, I’m on the drag getting to the shops. I need to fix a picture thas on the huh. ;)

A good example of 'faff' is when you join a queue, get to the teller and they tell you a) you needed to take a number and/or b) you're in the wrong line.

Oh, no. A faff is an activity, rather than a scenario. Going to the bank could be a faff, but your example is just a bloody nuisance...
