Things you hate III

The general public. The vast majority are morons.

Take the bloke over the road for instance who decieded to perform an 8 point turn on my single width drive, running over next doors rubbish bags and flattening my tree. Despite there being a dual width cul-de-sac and 2 off street parking spaces he could have used.

Maybe I was in a bad mood from the match, but I certainly made him aware that I thought he was an idiot.

 

Be a man ... go flatten his trees and rubbish.

 

If the tree does'nt survive I'm going to shove it right up his exhaust pipe.

 

People who don't turn off keyboard sounds on their phone.

 

Cashpoints. Rather than input your pin, select cash then amount like it used to be, now its's input pin, press enter, then 100 questions before and after you get your cash. Enough!

 

0845 looking to sell your business calls.
Especially when you tell them politely that you're on the TPS and that they need to remove your number from the calling list and they refuse.

The chap actually argued with me. Told him I would charge them £75 per call if they rang again, the act of ringing is their acceptance of that contract.

 

Good luck enforcing that.

 

The threat is enough generally. It stopped MBNA bothering us. There is precedent in law us well.

 

Seven hour power cuts. :rant:

 

Everybody doing exams deserves my sympathy, hope yours doesn't impact you overall results too badly

 

Add to that the parents of everybody doing their exams should also deserve your sympathy

 

Fecking spoilers.

Ok America, we get it, you are ahead of us here in the UK. Stop posting bloody spoilers of tv shows all over the bloody internet. I can't bloody look anywhere.

 

As long as you get a degree, once you have industry experience or a professional qualification the actual grade of degree becomes irrelevant.

 

100% agree.

 

Private taxi drivers. Drive at a snails pace when having no passengers, drive up your backside when they do.

 

Supermarket self-service talk: 'please take your items' = you've paid, we've got your money, now fxck off!

 

They are so slow to catch up anyway. I've picked my bags up and are halfway through the exit when I hear a faint "thank you for shopping at Sainsburys" echoing in the distance.

 

Very true, well that's another thing having effectively told you to eff-off it then has the bare-faced cheek to say 'Thankyou for shopping at Sainsburys!'

 

...in Polish!

 

People who press the wrong language option on the self checkouts at Sainsburys.

 

Doctors appointments.

Warnings everywhere If you don't turn up at least 5 mins early you could receive a fine etc etc. and they always run 30 mins plus late. The fact that you have to call at precisely 8:30 am to get a same day appointment and when you do there's 30 odd people ahead of you in the telephone queue or you need to book in advance when the soonest they can see you is a week next Tuesday at 10:30am which just doesn't work when you have a 9-5 job.

I've taken to booking an appointment in advance each week and then cancelling on the day if I'm not sick.

 

Ha ha, I do that. I also find myself thanking Siri.

 

I argue with my satnav. 'I don't need to do a ****ing u turn. This way is quicker. You're trying to send me into crawling traffic!'

Think it's a bit sexist that they come with female voices as a default.

 

Learners in the rush hour.

 

The rattle of bare cardboard on the toilet roll holder when I've just unloaded my post-weekend ****

 

Day after a bank holiday

 

Going on a stag party to Bournemouth on Sunday, walking into a bar and bumping right into a childhood hero of yours who is now a dribbling mess. He who did this 20 years ago.

We called the bar staff ***** for serving him and walked out. He couldn't speak and just about stood up with some help, luckily he was on his way home but don't think he will (or wants to!)be saved now.

 

serves you right for going to Bournemouth - Judas.

 

The M3.
