Little issues that annoy the hell out of you

Julia Roberts.....how can someone with a face like a bulldog licking p*ss off a nettle be lead in a film called pretty woman? Unless they meant Richard Gere?

In a queue in Asda and the old lass in front waits until everything has been rung through before packing it. She then realises, five minutes later with a look of surprise, that Asda want some money from her. She takes 5 minutes going through every pocket of her bag bfore finding her purse. Then, even though the bill is £67.93 she insists on finding the exact money from a huge collection of copper coins she empties onto the counter.

Waiting ages in a queue at traffic lights then having the guy in front of you stall and only get it going in time for him to get through and no bugger else.

Getting woken up when in a really sound sleep by my alarm at 6am every day for work and then finding myself wide awake at 5.50am on my day off.

Having great weather for days on end and finally deciding to take the day off only to find it starts pissing down.

Deciding to play a brand new £3 golf ball and losing it first go.

Holding the door open for someone who just walks through without sayin owt. Really wish I could swing the door through them sometimes.

people who don't read emails before deleting them... like instructions on how to recover deleted e-mails from the mail server (it's always fun telling them to read the e-mail on how to do it too! )

builders sitting at the lights revving their transit vans - I am definitely going to gaffer closed their mufflers one day!

people who after 20-plus years of fax machines who still don't know how to send a fax... not rocket science children!

people who print to printers with no paper in them, call IT to get it restocked. I have a simple policy - if you can't work out how to use a printer (or how to load paper) then your jobs get deleted, and your rights get revoked.

Checkout operators who are in dreamland... if I give you a twenty, I expect change back. I don't expect you to close the register without giving me change - then force me to wait while you get the manager to open up the till! Or better yet - WHSmiths who get shirty when you tell them that if RRP price is 3.95 for a mag, and they don't put a different price stamp on the mag must charge you cover price - not 7.95 which came up on the till! (This month's PCW!)

That advert on VHS tapes that advertises how much clearer the picture and sound quality are on DVDs. What's the point in showing us an example of it's better picture if your watching it on a worn out tape?

[Nick]

Tailgaters..

What? Has someone attached a super strength magnet to my rear bumper and its sucking you in? Oh no, wait... you think you're Tom Cruise in Days Of Thunder and you're practising 'drafting' on me.... How about I practice 'emergency stop' on you, you annoying too close driving goit!


Dora the Explorer...

please, even a three year old does not need everything repeated 5 times.. 5 times.. 5 times.. 5 times.. 5 times..


Starlings,

I promise you little buggers... this year I'm coming up into my loft with a big bag of patience and an infra-red scoped air rifle. KEEP OUT OF MY LOFT!!

adverts on dvds. they'd BETTER NOT F*CKING STAY.

[Honoop]

Adverts that declare I can go Hang gliding/Rollerskating/surfing/horse riding when I have my period! How come?? I didnt have the ability before, does using your product give me special powers I don't possess?? I dont think so!!

Car Alarms - especially those people who dont know what theirs sounds like. So when its sat in a car park going off for hours on end they deserve to come out to a flat battery in the morning!!

People who can't remember the internal phone extension of the person they are trying to call and are too bone idle to look it up so call every number in the department, let it ring once and hang up when the name on the display isn't the person they want!!

Manners - or more so people who don't have any! How difficult is it to look round when someone speaks to you? To say please or thankyou? Or even to chuffing well smile occasionally! Its not hard and will actually get you further than grunting at people!

When visitors come to my flat, pick something up off of the side inspect it make comment and then put it back down BUT NOT WHERE IT WAS!!!! Aahhhhhhhh! Yes I am anal - no I dont care!

I know its been said already - but the Nokia Dom Jolly Ringtone, should be illegal!!

People who can't file things properly! How difficult is it to arrange things into Alpha-numeric order and put into a ring binder?

Packages/bottles/jars which are impossible to open! Very frustrating!

When someone pushes the button at a Pelican Crossing and then crosses when there is a gap in the traffic and you have to stop to an empty crossing!!

I could go on forever....... but I feel better now!

Oh - 1 more.... when you dunk your biscuit in your tea, but it gets too soggy and plops into your tea before you get it to your mouth!!

Woohooo!! My 50th post!!

[Nick]

People who go 'Woohoo!! My 50th post"

Woohoo... my 2,114th post...

[megah0]

The halifax bank, closing early and then having the ATMs outside not accepting deposits.

CD cases that break as soon as you open them

people mentioned in my first post denying that they are responsible for me having burnt toast and neat vodka.

buying a batch of vegetable samosas from the shop down the road from where i work, coming down after a shower to find that there is only one left because "we were going to have pasta but these were nicer, can you get some more tomorrow?"

Orange - enough said.

Trains.

People at work who insist on telling me in great detail and repeatedly how well they are progressing in their football management game. "I am playing as spurs and
I won the league cup, despite having a weak youth team" then standing back ready for applause.

The way the TV people alter the volume of adverts so halfway through friends you have to dive for the remote as it goes very loud.

People who use the last spoonful of sugar and don't refill the pot.

People who ask the same question incessantly and who assume that because i can solve a variety of simple computing problems like removing a virus, that i am able to answer in depth questions on the nature of problems encountered in custom made programs specific to a task the company uses it for.

People who blame their ineptitude on "the computer" for example: "the computer lost all my work", rubbish, you failed to understand and use your machine correctly, YOU lost your work.

People who deliberately splash pedestrians with their cars on rainy days.

Lets keep going folks this is getting interesting

BTW, love your posts Deckard.

[mike_w]

Tony Blair.
John Prescott.
Gordon Brown.
David Blunkett.
George W. Bush.
Stupid EU policies, like having a legal height for rocking horses, or the angle a banana is supposed to bend (at least 90 degrees, by the way).

ooh that reminds me.. people who care about politics, or talk about it, like they can make a difference
