Well we are only ten days into the new year and ive already had enough of hearing peoples lame excuses for everything , also when people make arrangements to chat or meet also left hanging around, prime example of a arranged chat to a friend on msn today twice i logged on first time got stood up with no reason then the 2nd time went mid chat to answer door and numerous excuses really bugs me hate being messed around . so that got me thinking what annoys you the most???????

monolithic companies that think they can walk all over their customers.
I feel you must have someone in mind, Howard......

quite a few bern, recently won a case against british telecom after a decision by the ombudsman.
why i had to gop through 9 months of arguments is beyond me.
the local water company and my friends at british gas seem to feel they can give a dire service and get away with it.

Tradesmen who fail to turn up on time
Delivery services that think you have nothing better to do than wait for them and expect you to be ready at 8.00am then deliver around 5.00pm.

Delivery companies who don't appear to know how to ring a bell or knock on the door. You spend all day waiting in for a parcel only to notice a card on the door mat stating "We tried to deliver your parcel but you were out" Err...no, I wasn't!! I'm not deaf and my doorbell is in perfect working order.

Over paid footballers who are't even out of nappies and think that the world owes them something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll leave that there as it's time for night nights and this usually grinds me right up and I will probably need till the early hours of the morning before I'm anywhere near finishing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Following on from Roger's post, the dangerous new style crossing by Morrisons that does not have an audible sound and gives such a short time to cross.

Drivers who go right round a major roundabout in the outside lane with their left hand indicator on.

and the ones who sit in the middle lane of a three lane motorway all on there own with not a care in the world.
Mark not all footballers are like that but I agree with you on the few that are. Stick to grass roots football.

One more gripe is people wo swear badly in public with not a care who is around them and sadly young girls can be as bad as any msn. What is worse is this government want to make it legal to do so.

Two other things that get me going, first on is people spitting in public,i think is grose. The second is when you hold the door open for somebody & they just walk through,& not even a smile let alone a "thank you"I normaly say thank loud enough for them to hear.

spitting and swearing in public is totally unacceptable, i go one better than roger - i shout "no need to thank me" at the plebs.
marks and spencers is the worst locally.
Ohh im going to be shot down here but never mind , one of mine recently is oaps and their rudeness , yes you get free bus travel but it does not give you the right to jump ahead of the cue nor dictate where others should sit on public transport , as we the younger lot still pay our ways ......... respect works both ways.

Ohh now.. i can chuck one in ..
People who come in on the busiest day of the week and are upset that they cant have an instant appointment because i am fully booked on Saturdays and tend to be 2 weeks in advance!!
And of course i am not allowed a day off..... why cant i do every day of the week...
hmm.. can you tell i am still loving my job but getting a little bit tired!!
Bloody so-called "R&B" (it is no such thing) songs wailed by female "singers" who screech and shout their way through their limited repertoire thrusting crotch and other bits and bobs towards the camera in order to sell their records because as sure as hell the songs wouldn't.............
