    Anyone who uses Ryanair gets what they deserve.

    You aint got a lot of choice if you need to fly out of Limoges between September and June, unless you go Southampton with Flybe. I personally dont care as I always drive
    I'm booked on a flight to Kerry in a few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Would be interesting to see if flights to and from Ireland are affected at the same rate as other services to and from other destinations

    O'Leary has equal contempt for all. So I think Irish flights will also be affected as much as anywhere.

    Why do they still get business? Ratner insulted his customer base and went under.

    I think they earn a lot of their income from the destination cities paying a subsidy so they fly there in the the first place

    Piss taking travel companies/airlines.

    Just spent 2k on holiday, go to look at getting extra leg room for the 10 hour flight, only to realise not only is the extra leg room seats all booked, but most of the other seats have been reserved, so if we want to sit next to each other we have to pay another £60 to hold those seats. Arseholes.

    Ryan Air are now automatically seating people who book together in different parts of the plane, in the hope that they'll pay the 10 quid (I think) supplement. And charging 4 quid per booking if you wanna get your boarding pass more than 3 days in advance of you flight.

    Glad BA now fly Gatwick - Limoges through the summer cos Ryan Air sucks balls
    Blimey, how much extra do they charge for that?
    Free ball suck and rim with evey 4 quid advance boarding pass so that ain't too shabby.

    British Gas. We're on a service plan with them and booked an engineer for this morning as the boiler's packed in. Got a call just now to say they can't make it due to high volume of call outs. It was only after a fairly long rant at the manager and telling him we have a 6 month old baby (which we don't) that they agreed to get someone out today at some time.

    2nd time these wankers have done it to me, I'd booked a day off work last time.

    Engineer was here within 2 hours and fixed it within 20 minutes. Didn't ask where the baby was!

    Also managed to mount the new TV on the wall with no injuries/damages or swearing so decent day all round in the end.

    People who don't put a divider down on the checkout belt once they've finished loading their shopping onto the belt.

    Are they thick, rude or just cunts?

    I agree that's a shooting offence in my book.

    Never go shopping in Portugal then. Not using the divider is a national pastime...

    Always give it an unnecessarily hard smack on the checkout when that happens to me.

    Had one bloke a few weeks ago who put the divider down on the checkout (Was behind me) before I'd finished unloading the trolley, meant that I eventually ran out of room because he was happily loading the belt himself and had to start piling items!!

    People who come and join you waiting for a lift and proceed to press the obviously illuminated button that you have already pressed. Like you were just hanging around hoping a lift may randomly appear!

    The supermarket truly displays some of the worst of humanity.

    Some cunts think it is OK to barricade the section of shelves they are browsing through with a trolley preventing anyone else getting near the products in that area, as if they're terrified someone else is going to buy all other 48 packets of ham before they've decided what they want. Kicking the trolley out of the way usually learns them.

    Disgraceful checkout etiquette. If that happened to me my packing speed would reach a world record slow.

    Oh it most certainly did, partly just to piss him off, partly because he made it extra difficult for me to reach the bottom items in the trolley!! - Is why the majority of days I'll do the Asda Click n Collect (really worth it as saves you having to deal with the cretins)

    People who hover around you in a supermarket till queue with a couple of items in their basket hoping you'll let them go in front just because there a few people waiting at the basket only till, or worse, say "oh I can't use those modern things" when you point out there are self-service tills free.

    Supermarkets, particularly Sainsburys, who shut down their fresh meat/fish/deli counters an hour before the shop closes. You're either open or you're not Sainsburys!

    The new Barclays machines that let you get out large amounts of cash, which is good, then they give you the option to choose what notes you want, which is good; but then proceed to choose your notes for you! So you have to change their selection for you actually wanted when you chose the option.

    The fact that no cash machine allows you to withdraw a £5 note - On some occasions I dont want to take £10 out or I may not have £10 in my account in the bloody first place

    Even more annoying is when your at a machine, need £5 yet are sure those notes arent available so you take out £10 only to be given two £5 notes!!

    Sorry mate, I'm guilty of that. Used to try and bag but it always lead to some sort of "unexpected item in the bagging area" issue that meant I had to wait for someone to come over and reset the till for me.

    I hate those bastard machines but always end up using them cos there's always a queue for the handful of real people they still employ.

    Try to avoid supermarkets as much as possible these days. Not cheap, generally an utterly soul-sapping experience, and with the amount of Metro/Express/Local stores they that keep being allowed to open. 25 Sainsburys stores within 2.5 miles of my house, 16 Tescos and plenty more Asdas, Aldis, Lidls and Waitrose

    Here a lot of people press both up and down button at the same time. :rage:
