Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

I've ranted about inconsiderate walkers before.

Keep to one side of the pavement to allow people to get by, don't suddenly stop without checking there isn't someone right behind you, don't stop at the top of escalators or in front of store entrances!

Two things for me.

Getting asked for ID.

Went to the shop to get us some dinner for tonight and thought I'd get us a couple of beers as well. Then I get asked for ID. I'm 29 for F***s sake! Do I really look like some spotty teenager?

Also, people in Hong Kong on XBL.

I don't think I have EVER played anyone from HK that didn't lag like hell. It's just a shame you can't choose which region of people to play.

Microsoft's inability to put a battery in the 360. It is NOT 2005.

I'm ill as **** and had an all day interview today, tried to reschedule it, no, you have to come or not, so I didn't as I didn't want to shart myself half way through.

So ill.

I hate the way employers can just treat you like crap, changing minds or refusing to be flexible, you have to bend over a barrel and take whatever they dish out just to get that job. I wonder if they were in my position they'd think it fair.

Worst thing is when people arrange interviews after their lunchbreak.

It's standard to arrive slightly early to interviews, why arrange them so close to a time you're likely to be out of the office. It's rude.

Yes. And a fat d0dDy.

I'm expecting a very important, expensive mail item to come through at the mo. It hasn't come. The whole weekend lies ahead to fret. Irktastic.

You answered your own question there !

[Hohum]

You answered your own question there !

People who put a space before ! or ?. You wouldn't do it for a full stop, so why do it for those?

[kernow]

Stupid question,

Is there any way I can find out the landlord of a house? The people are the road are bordering on anti-social behaviour in my opinion, I think a complaint to their landlord would be a great first route. Getting pretty sick of it.

[NW2013]

Nah, council's noise abatement team are a good option I reckon.

I phoned them before, and they just give you a 3 week diary to fill out. Because the events are so sporadic (but ****ing annoying when it happens), I didn't have much to fill in so I just threw the sheet away.

Seems I can pay £4 to the land registry and find the owner, might just do that

Heres a Irk just for today. The part time Guinness drinking pricks that fill up the pubs on St Patricks day, with their novelty hats, chanting along to Pogues songs.

I have nothing against the Irish cleebrating but those non Irish rugby top wearing twats can all jump into a vat of Irish Stew as far as I'm concerned.

I find this unbelievably annoying. Where did people who do this get the idea that it's necessary? And some folks have a space before a full stop too. It just looks stupid.

Clocks/digital displays on station platforms. Why in the name of crap are they ALWAYS blocked by some pillar. I enter my train station from the end of the platform, and it's impossible to see the clock from there because it's positioned with all the pillars along the platform in front of it. So if I arrive and the train is already there, I have no way of knowing if it's going to leave any second. So I can either get on it and have to pay full fare because I didn't get a ticket first, or I can walk all the way down the platform to the ticket machine and risk the train blasting off. I guess I could get on the train at one end, walk all the way down, inside the train, check the display, and then get off and buy a ticket if I see that I have time. A lot of hassle all because some inbred dolt went and installed the display behind a line of pillars! It's not like the pillars were put in afterwards! They hold up the sodding roof! They must have been there for decades! And I'm guessing that display was only installed a couple of years ago! Horsedong!

And another thing! Cheap ass microwave meals where when you go to remove the plastic film from the red hot tray, the ****ing edge of the film rips off, all the way around the tray, but the rest of it stays put! This means I now have to get a knife and cut around the inside, and remove the boiling hot, slimy film with my hands! This is simple design principles, people! I ought to be able to enjoy my food without scolding my hands on your piece of crap product because it was SO POORLY MADE and out of SUCH CRAPPY MATERIALS! SCREW YOU, MARKS N SPENCER!

That Berocca advert with the treadmills. Gah it annoys me so much and I don't even know why!!!
