Life's little irritations

edited June 2009 in Not Sports Related
Mine at the moment is businesses, services etc who are incapable of getting my name correct as they have been given it.

I have 3 initials and a surname and use all 3 initials as I have a fairly common surname.

EG MR LEN GLOVER is arbitarially shortened to MR LE GLOVER.

I find it really irritating! Why are people incapable of listening/reading and recording exactly what they have been told?!

  • People who stop at traffic lights in the right hand lane....you pull up behind them and then when the lights change to green they put their indicator on to turn right....argggghhhh....I could kill!
  • Mine is gritting my teeth and counting 10, with my best customer service smile, when I know I am dealing with pond life chavs froms Dartford & Swanley everyday.

    Customer: I need a quote on availability and price for a van
    Me: what size & when for?
    Customer: I dont know
    Me: well, I need the size and dates etc to do that for you
    Customer: why cant you just tell me anyway?


    me pulling hair out, swearing a lot and generally dumbfounded at how stupid people are.
  • People eating crisps/apples loudly.
  • Traffic lights on roundabouts.....OK if its some mega junction but I will never be convinced they are needed on the smaller ones.
  • what have they done wrong soundas or is it cos they weren't already indicating if so i'm sorry i do that :o(
  • Earphone cables getting into the most unbelievable tangle everytime.

    People using a hand-held mobile phone when driving. Especially when they:

    1, have someone else in the car with them*

    2, have a sign in the back saying "Small person/baby/little princess on board"**

    * Why? Because if the call's so bl**dy important, let the passenger take it.
    ** Why? Because the signs actually says "Oi, you lot drive carefully, so I don't have to"

  • Surely it's a well-known fact that the indicators will only work as part of your power steering – you have to have started your turn before they will operate – FACT!!!

    This is basically it.

    Erm dazzler...you indicate before you reach the traffic lights and keep your indicator on whilst it's on red....so some poor sod like me who could have pulled up in the inside lane doesn't pull up behind you and then get stuck there when the lights change....please tell me you're not one of those idiots that do this....though it's pretty rare, it does happen from time to time.
  • Pikies that cellotape directions to their dashboard


    Alright Dazzler :-)
  • groups of 4 or 5 tourists on commuter trains who only decide to look for their train ticket when they get to the barriers in London train termials or the underground.
  • People who don't indicate when turning left. Especially at roundabouts!

    Fiveways heading from Eltham towards Chislehurst is where this pis*es me off the most. I want to straight ahead.If I go in the inside lane all the right hand lane traffic go straight ahead. If I go in the right hand lane because they are not indicating to turn right, they of course then are turning right. Grrr.

    In this situation you should just give the price for the smallest van in 'low season.' If they then change the date or size and the price changes you can then say that they hadn't been specific for the first quote. In any case, you suck them in with your lowest price.

    Add to that any woman who decides to get to the barrier before then looking through her entire handbag for her ticket.

    Women who wear trainers to work with their smart clothing. Is your journey to work that bad that you can't wear shoes?
    People who ask you to move down the carriage when clearly there is no room.
    Slow walking people
    Anyone wearing crocs. You should be severely beaten whilst your crocs are burned in front of you!

    we've done this before i'm sure

    Women who stand at a bus stop for 10 minutes - bus turns up then they f****** stand their at the driver window searching, in their bottomless pit bag, for their oyster card/ticket. Get the bloody thing out in advance. This goes for cashpoints as well.

    Go and buy some Flixonase from Boots. It's the only thing I've ever found that actually works.

    This

    and slamming doors, nothing more annoying than when all you can hear from the other flats is this
  • Talking of bus stops, do people not know how to queue anymore?? Does my fecking brain in when I stand there for 20 minutes and suddenly it a free-for-all to get on the bus!
  • Blokes in suits wearing trainers between the station and the office. Women, do this because they want to wear uncomfortable spiky shoes in the office in order to climb the corporate ladder, but what the hell are these blokes up to.
    People (women) who get to ticket barriers/tills and have made
    Litterbugs.
    People with unruly children who seem to think their bellowing little shitmonster is somehow charming
    People who unclip their seatbelt on a plane the nanosecond the light goes off.
    People who board a plane then spend more than 12 seconds getting into their seat - sadly, somehow these individuals always get on first.
    Fans of big clubs that they have no connection to, who never go to games and then laugh at you when you tell them who you support.
    Anyone getting a balance or ministatement or basically doing anything at a cash point that is not £100 no receipt.
    Intolerant people.
