So... What really gets your back up..... Go!

I hate slow caravans, brake tapping drivers, slow service, discretionary tips being put on a bill without them asking, holland and Barrett, people who laugh at their own farts...and Nile Ranger.
 
I can't stand Renault Picasso's and tetra pack cartons

actually don't ge me started I hate everything
 
People who walk slowly and somehow manage to take up the whole path.

And don't get me started on groups of mother's with their pushchairs <grr>
 
People who leave their braking till the last second, causing you to almost go into the back of them as you didn't realise they were going to turn <grr> (happened twice tonight)

Ha I do this on purpose as if they go up my arse I'll get 2 grand each time I'm penetrated.
 
May I please put "online job applications" in?

They are the ultimate bane of my existence (/the last few months), as I'm applying for various Graduate training scheme positions and part-time employment til they open. So, you've gone down to the store in person with your CV, smiling politely, looking rather dashing because you've moosed your hair into something fashionably Jedward for once, only to be met with the familiar look of disdain from some spotty 15 year old (whose either the daughter of a manager or you're in France, and she's slept her way to the top), who informs you that "we do not accept CVs for these positions, please check our position availability online"... CURSE YOU GIRL.

Anyway, having raced home and sampled the world wide web's great variety of literature on another topic which wastes about 1-1.1 minutes of your life, you obediently do as Adolf Zitler demanded and go through the website, and sure enough there is a vacancy she didn't tell you about.... Scrolling through and answering a multitude of questions (all of which are answered on my CV which I could have handed in... Only now it's just been used for something else <whistle>) until my teeth start chattering and even the Fresher next door have gone to be for ten minutes, it eventually comes to the penultimate screen, where it tells you that you are able to... YEP, YOU GUESSED IT... UPLOAD YOUR CV!!! What is the point of the other questions???

Only the GTS positions are worse, because you have to sit online examinations to prove you are clever enough... Obviously my degree will come in handy as toilet paper if I ever get the job... HSBC are the worst so far though. I had to create a profile with them because "they don't send me information via e-mail, it's too sensitive"... I typed in all my details, set up the account, was registered as an applicant. Next day they e-mail saying "you have a message on your profile"... So I log in, and it says "Hi Matt, welcome to our service"... How exactly is that so sensitive?! I'm pretty sure that even if my e-mail was in heavy flow and not accepting chocolate bribes, the tampax that is my ****-filter isn't super-absorbant enough to prevent that nugget getting through...

Next day I get another e-mail from them "you have a message on your profile"... I log on... It says "You may now complete the online assessments..." MOTHERPLUCKKKKKEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Cheesy chips, dog owners who don't clean up, that gangan style song thing, the crazy frog, roadwork cones, boy racers, tuna, celery, raw fish.
 
Queue jumpers, especially taxi queues or at the bar, (always feel invisible at the bar most times anyway)'
Cyclists on the pavement, dog walkers who don't clean up, or put there dog on a lead, no point in my dogs having a lead if they don't.

This is just for starters, it's a bit late for a rant, I may not sleep! I will probably have to return to this thread.<grr>


:emoticon-0113-sleep
 
Chris Waddle'a commentary on our games, Ray Wilkins tone of voice, people that swear while on the bus, people that pay for their bus ticket while having a conversation on their mobile (ultimate act of no manners), smoking and of course at the top of the list is when the toon lose.
 
People who put their bags on the seat next to them on trains and don't move them when other people are clearly looking for somewhere to sit.

People on trains who seem to think that the rest of the carriage would really enjoy listening to their 'personal' MP3/IPod etc with them.

People on trains using laptops but have to thump away at the keys as if they are playing some piano concerto.

Train companies that think it is appropriate to send a single carriage out to accommodate about 100 people so that your face ends up pressed against the door/someone's armpit/newspaper/rucksack etc

Yes, I travel by train a lot and as you can see it can be quite a stressful experience :emoticon-0102-bigsm

This is going back a couple of years I guess, but I was on a bus on my way home and noticed someone walking their dogs on the pavement but off the lead. One of the dogs was similar to a German Shepherd and I thought thank goodness I wasn't walking our dog and came across them because I would have been worried whether this guy's dog would have been friendly or not.

It was at that point I took a closer look at the man to see just who walked their dog off the lead like that ..... and it was Roy Keane. This was when he was managing Ipswich, so we're talking a little while ago now.
 
I would put the non regionalised League Two in room 101.

Not to say dump all the teams, just merge it with the Conference and have North and South. Too much travel expenses at that level. Maybe even as far as include League One in that, just have two/three national pro leagues, north/south below that.

Same goes for Scotland (but maybe East/West).
