1. Minicabs and other twonks who feel the need to honk their car horn repeatedly at all hours of the night to say 'hello' or 'good-bye'
2. The guy in the house opposite me who parks his motorbike on our very narrow, very residential road - so effectively it's outside my bedroom window. He keeps odd hours, and insists on keeping the enging running for ages both when he gets back and leaves, and on revving it repeatedly before he sets off...
3. People who can't be bothered to help themselves, and would much rather ask someone else the question so they do the work for them Seems to be a malaise of today's 'yoof' - why bother putting any graft in, when you can simply post a question on the internet, and wait for people to come to you?

Paying ridiculous P&P charges, which turn out to be for a courier which delivers only between 9-5pm Monday to Friday (some of us have to work to pay for your stuff, you idiots...). Thus you have to drive to the middle of nowhere to collect your item yourself, when you just paid to have the godarn thing delivered...

Do what I do get them to deliver to the office if its portable enough to take home. That way there's always someone around to sign for it.

Junk email - I've been in my current job too long. I spend more time 'unsubscibing' (is there such a word)than working at the moment.

Me.
I never learn to say "No".

I was in my village Post Office today. I had a few parcels to send out - 6 or 7 items - and I stood in the queue with my arms full. It wasn't really a queue - just the one person in front.

This one person was acting like it was their first ever outing in a long while, let alone to a PO.

They were exclaiming things like "oh really?", "how much?", "which form do I fill in?", "and how long have you worked here, dear?", "oh! I wish I had brought my glasses with me", "how do I do that?".

After about 10 minutes I had taken root. (And drugs if I had been offered any...)

But I was determined not to be wound-up by this "antique" of a person in front. Not allow my spirit to waiver....

Soon another un-suspecting customer had joined the queue. I turned round at some point and gave them the "oh, we have a right one here" look.

A few more agonising minutes later, the individual behind me said to me "I only came in here for a few first class stamps! Typical!"

More minutes passed.

Eventually, finally the old fossil in front stopped interrogating the PO person about their life & times, todays weather, tomorrows weather; and zimmered themselves away.

Now I was about to step up to the Holy Grail when person behind said (with convincing panic) "would you mind if I just nipped in front of you for my stamps? I'll be be very quick....!"

At this point my gut reaction, my inner instinct, was almost screaming "HELL NO!" and wanting to off about "a queue is a queue and what the f*ck did they expect when they walked into a PO - rose-petals thrown down as they walked up to the counter with free champagne on the side!!...."

But what did I say? "Yes. Of course". "Please do." Feeling suddenly guilty about my arms full of parcels.

This person then pulls out about 12 -15 cards (Easter I'm guessing) - all of different sizes - all needed weighing - all going anywhere but the UK.

I must have waited another 10 minutes. At least.

F*ck me. NEVER again. NEVER. (Why can't I say NO!?)

It was written into the contract of my last job that we couldn't have anything delivered to the office, and if we breached the term - it was considered a 'sackable' offence. Not sure about my current job, so I don't really risk it - especially as no-one else seems to have anything delivered. Plus you do know we all have VXs right?

People (like my neighbour) who leave their dog alone and locked up all day every day, to bark its poor head off. I feel sorry for it - particularly since I can't do anything to help it - and my eardrums which are close to bleeding...

Is 'she' not on there anymore then?

fcuk me...my job is really getting me down now

Too much of a blame culture, and unless I generate paperwork (which I dont have time to do) the buck lands on my desk.

I'm not going to get much sleep tonight, the stress has wound me up far too much

Oh yes, she is, but it's that incredibly annoying bint Fiona Philips most of the time. It's more the sensationalist Express/Mail type bollocks that they concentrate on.

That apparently the plural of 'text' (as in message) is 'Texiz' The gobsmacking illiteracy that prevails on the internet and apparently in this country, and the inability to use correctly words which sound the same eg might/mite; their/there/they're; know/now etc. Founding out last week, after managing to avoid it for years, the % of my salary which goes to keep Jeremy Kyle's guests in Red Stripe, weed, catalogue accounts, and 'trainees' Oh. My. F*cking. God. Commensurate with what Scandinaivans pay, and yet the benefits we receive in comparison are woeful Rubbish being collected every two weeks. The jobs worth security guard at work.

Nail on head with both of those assertions. I wish my other half would find something less sensationalist and mind-numbing to watch in the mornings!

Hollyoaks Hollyoaks Hollyoaks Eastenders Coronation Street Libby from Neighbors Hollyoaks Dancing on... whatever. Celebrity Come... whatever That bald bloke from Bottom who sold out to front an ITV sitcom. I dont even want to repeat his name for such a sin. Watchdog - our company was featured last Monday so I made the effort to watch it. What a loads of shite. Kent Brockman could learn a thing or two. Family Guy. It isnt funny. Neither is American Dad. Although I know everyone disagrees with me here... Hollyoaks. That theme tune boils my p*ss.
