What annoyed you this week ?

Well I'm bored so thought I'd knock up a new thread about what annoyed everyone this week.

I met up with a mate who I hadn't seen for ages this week, and just chatting away generally when he said.

"You really shouldn't over take my g/f when your on the A30 you know"

I was like heh whats he on about ?

Aparantly, some months ago (Yes months!!) he was out with her in her car going somewhere, doing about 50/55 down the A30 which is a 70 mph road and I went screaming by them scaring her poopless aparantly. She got all up tight and threatened to report me to the police, have me banned from driving etc.

I was like yeah well if she's that nervous a driver then she shouldn't be on the roads, I'm not goting to sit behind someone on the A30 if I know that I can over take them safely. Aparantly she nearly drove all the way to my place to give me a piece of her mind. She's not someone you want to make an enemey of.

But yeah thats what really annoyed me this week.

if its a 70 and you were dong 55... and you went screaming by... what the hell speed were they doing? were they in reverse?

I was doing 70 lol Maybe touching on 75, but as we all know speedos aren't accurate anyway. They were theones doing 50/55. i can see why 70 seems like screaming by but heck, you know I've been driving for 5 years, she's still not taken those damn silly P plates off her car yet.

Perhaps she meant screaming as in
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...H'
?

Anyway, I'm annoyed with work and dogs. Which, I expect is normal for everyone, and you all know, in that order. :)

I wanted to say words to that effect to her but in order to keep the peace I thought it was better not to.

I think this week the thing that has annoyed me most is my 5 year olds spelling tests.
One because her teacher is a first class bitch, at the end of the day she calls them up and tells them the`re scores,its marks out of 10.The`re given 10 words to learn on a Monday and the test is on a Friday.
So my little one is called up every week to be told to do better next time blah blah blah,its the fact that the teacher goes out of her way to say it load enough for all the other parents to hear
gets right on my tits.
Spelling tests for 5 year old kids is a load of crap if you ask me,she can sit and do them all with me at night time,but i think she is under pressure to get them all right.So as i`ve told her she will learn them when she is good and ready,maybe not the right attitude from a parent,but i don`t want her to fell pressure at school at such a young age.It will or may have an effect on her for the rest of her school life.

banana
crumble
quark
fundamental
mastication
sand
supercalafragalisticexpealidosious (sp? ;))
and
FAIL

Err first posted has more...:)as i pressed submit to early as i never listened to my teacher.As she was an evil mind altering bitch too.

Well reading said extra, I reckon you should complain that your child is being treated unfairly. That should hopefully help things along :) (so long as the head isn't up their arse too)

All teachers do though, that much I am certain of.

Well i don`t understand how she can get 8 words right with me but only 2 right at school.There`s something wrong somewhere.

You're more likely to forget things under pressure, look at tv gameshows...

:) yup. and if you dont like the teacher then there is no feeling of comfort to get you through it

'I pretned that each stain is my stepfather's face!'

How I love TV sometimes :lol:

Although a 5yo wouldn't be thinking along those lines... would they :innocent:

My sales manager

I think I might actually have a heart attack if he was positive and nice for an entire day, heard a customer asking to pass on their thanks to the manager and member of staff for being so helpful, did he tell them? Is the pope good at football?
me: can I have the keys?
him: yes
me: well can i have them then?
him: no
me: why?
him: I'm waiting for you to ask the right question
me: what, can I have the keys?
:rolleyes:
(I would normally say please/thank you, but the guy is a complete and utter waste of space, the shop performs 10-20% better when he isnt in on average and really annoys everyone)


Oh...and the thing that annoys me in general is people who can't take no for an answer, e.g.
"can you knock anything off it"
"no, if you find it cheaper in a nearby shop we match/beat it but thats it"
"can you take the admin charge off the credit"
"no, we dont provide the credit"
"can you take the admin charge off the cost of the laptop?"
"no"

I would understand if it was damaged/old stock/genuinely cheaper elsewhere but it wasnt and was a brand new laptop :angst::rolleyes::angst:

please tell us this has nothing to do with the dixons group.. please please please

I got something that annoys me every week.

Dopey Locals. Every time I go out to the shops or a busy area you have these annoying dopey people.
Think that going about your business in the supermarket was going to quick since you know everything you came for? Think again.

The ones that for no apparent reason just stand there in the way.:angst:

Then you get the one's that stop at the exit doors so no one can pass.:angst:

It really pis**s me off.:angst::angst::angst::angst:
Do they think I want to spent my day off just waiting for them to wake up?

Everything that should take minutes takes forever.:angst::angst::angst::angst:

Tookj my Mum shopping the other week in Tesco, and the amount of people that think it is ok to block an isle to have a chat and a catch up for about 20 minutes while they're forzens they have yet to pay for think it's fine to do this. I just want to go in there, get what I want and go again. I t took one lot of such people 5 attmepts at asking them to move their ample bottoms out of the way.

I'm annoyed that an ex-girlfriend has moved back into the area and I now see her several times a week. Very, very irritating. Plus she is going to a (business) place right by me with whom I have a long-standing and heart-felt feud. The evil moobag.

Otherwise, cyclists, roadworks and idiot car drivers (the latter will race out in front of you, then do 30-35 in the 40 zone speeding up whenever a rare overtaking opportunity presents itself then - and this always gets my goat - when we hit the 30 limit they speed up to about 35-40 and zoom off. Are they ever nicked? Are they arses.) However, most of these things annoy me each and every week.

Mustn't grumble though.

Why DsG in particular?

because the situation you describe sounds like there are "rules from a higher power" being involved, rather than the discretion that may be allowed at a smaller retailer. and as dsg is the only biggie... and i say dsg just to group together those that should be grouped together, as they are the same thing but with a slightly different focus, same bunch of products

Ah

Well it isn't Dixons but similar

It's just annoying as the a-h gets away with it even though people disagree with his behaviour, and it seems to manifest when he is in on his own/when the store manager is busy

aka false sense of power

Mind I'll probs get it on Monday for leaving the shop after work, it's not that I left early (I had to stay 10 minutes to wait for people to finish their sales), I just missed my debrief....ooooh scary
(I will no doubt tell him where to shove it as I'm not leaving work 30 mins later than my shift without getting paid for it, as it happens nearly every shift)

@ Behemoth - The day your friend starts whining for his g/f is a sad sad day. (I hope it wasn't like that, but when you're told something like that it might as well be classed as whining).Personally, I would put it down in my books as you not having to know a tw@ driver =]

That happened to me the other week, I was 15 mins late finishing my shift because of a customer, as soon as I was done with them I grabbed my coat and my keys and went home. Thought no more about it.

Got to work the next day and was told off for not seeing the store manager before I left (had I done I 'd have been there for at least another half an hour while he talked mindless drival to me) I just let it run over my head these days. Once I find a better paying job, I'm gone.

Same here with the job, just while I'm at uni it's untill I get a placement then I'm leaving, pay is ok (get some performance bonus so not all bad), hours are ok, getting to work can be a pain though (if I wasn't driving tomorrow, to start my shift at 10 I would have to leave at 8 and get either 3 busses (sp?) or a metro and a bus)

Or do what I did one day when I had no car because it failed it's MOT, phoned in sick.

Kids standing in your way are no problem at all, you can just push through or shout at them to move. If it's old people however, there's no way that'd work.

^ It's true. Old people are scary.

Girlfriends. They're either too clingy or they hate you, or so it would seem.

An old mate who doesn't have enough time to hang out 'cause he's too busy acting like an idiot trying to impress girls.

One of my ram modules dying :(

People dancing to a completely different song - and almost breaking my nose while they're at it.

Immature so called "idiots" - people that generally need to get over themselves and grow up.

Trying to explain to other people on the end of the phone that so and so isnt here today, in the office because its a bank holiday in England! They honestly cant even seem to understand the concept!

What annoyed me is going to the butchers and ordering a piece of fillet for Easter Sunday. Then taking it out the bag to roast it and finding out that it was a piece of sirloin. Can you believe it?
Next time will make the guy show me first what he's putting in the bag before charging me!
Still tasted good, but not at fillet prices!
