Things that really get on your tits...

Evil One · 02 Sep 2009, 14:42

Poor customer service. I was stood in front of the counter in Blockbuster for 10 minutes yesterday while the two sales people had a nice little chat about a party they were going to later. They both acknowledged that I was there, but just carried on talking. In the end I just walked out.

People who drive ridiculously slowly for no reason other than their own lack of ability.

Anyone else...

daveake · 02 Sep 2009, 15:07

People who drive everywhere at 40mph - holding everyone up on country roads but not slowing down when they get to a town or village.

People who won't overtake the car/lorry/tractor in front, and don't leave a gap for someone behind to overtake into.

People who flash when you dare to overtake. They probably think it's illegal.

People that think that mirrors are for checking hair/makeup/zits, and not for seeing what's behind them.

Should I go on .....?

Evil One · 02 Sep 2009, 15:10

Really cheap, nasty bog roll that falls apart when you try to wipe your arse.

TV programmes that don't start or end when they are supposed to, therefore mucking up planned recordings.

No. Just people in general. They're the root cause of anything that gets on my tits. Be it a driving related, a shopping trolley, an email at work etc etc etc it's always peopel that have initiated it. They're all a pain in the arse.

**RadioMaster** · 02 Sep 2009, 16:11

though not the worst, i find it rather annoying that you have pup up ads during youtube videos now.

Indeed ...

People who think it's cool to send out 5MB "funny" powerpoint attachments when I'm downloading on an expensive cellphone in the middle of nowhere.

Cold callers. Burn the lot of them.

The entire financial industry.

Anything that calls itself an "industry" when it doesn't actually make anything. Except almighty ~~~~-ups.

Telephone systems "Press 1 for accounts .... 9 if you're pissed off and just want to talk to a real person"

ParcelFarce.

BT (= Bunch of ~~~~ers)

daveake · 02 Sep 2009, 16:29

So, no Thai Curry, Chicken Korma or Bounty bars for you then?

mmmmm Bounty Bars .....

Evil One · 02 Sep 2009, 16:39

Management speak

Poor quality food

Virgin Media

people who hog the overtaking lane

red traffic light jumpers

Pudding · 02 Sep 2009, 23:50

People who post giant pictures in posts because they're too f*cking lazy to resize them.
And blurry pictures
And pretty much all of what's been said above apart from coconut.

Woot! You love me !

Pudding · 03 Sep 2009, 00:16

What's not to love?

Maybe we should do a poll and find out

daveake · 03 Sep 2009, 00:48

People that pretend I said "nipple clamps" when I didn't

People who bring up 2-year-old threads for no reason at all

Microsoft rebooting my PC allegedly to fix a problem that Microsoft generated in the first place

Sales droids trying to sell me "extended warranties"

People who cant be bothered to lurn how to spell or use apostrophes' properly

People using flash on their teeny weeny cameras to take photos at concerts

MissAsh · 03 Sep 2009, 01:50

I definitely agree with "people in general"!

People in queues who insist on standing right on top of you. (although this is where having a shoulder bag with a big hardback book in it comes in handy, swinging it back over your shoulder clears a little space...)

People who won't give a band a chance just because they didn't like ONE of their songs, several years ago.

People who insist on constantly using text speak and random symbols instead of using correct spelling and grammar. (Don't even get me started on apostrophe abuse!)

People at gigs/concerts who insist on getting drunk/high and/or throwing drinks/water over others. Throw them over yourself, I don't care, but throw them over my camera or my clean clothes which I will be wearing when I go out after the gig and I will not be amused.

Closed mindedness.

Pudding · 03 Sep 2009, 02:11

I also don't like tramps, beggars and old people who stink of piss. People with nicotine fingers, rotting teeth and fat bints who insist on wearing tight clothes are also on my cringeworthy list.

Aggressive big issue sellers who wont take " sorry I dont carry cash" as an answer

The builders who are doing upgrade work to my apartment building who start drilling and hammering at 7am and then do quiet things like plastering in the afternoon

Hypnobabe · 03 Sep 2009, 13:00

Impolite people, especially in shops.... My buying things in your shop is helping to pay your wages, I don't HAVE to shop here, I can go somewhere else and pay someone else's wages... How much effort does it take to say please or thankyou? I always do....

/rant

daveake · 03 Sep 2009, 20:31

Speed cameras. Can't believe I didn't mention them earlier! Especially the sneaky mobile ones.

The stupid biddy doing 40mph on the M4 earlier whilst she was on the phone. Nearly caused a pile-up. Actually, she probably has by now.
