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

^^ pure HERO QUEST!

I had a similar thing happen to me in Syria - our landlord (late 20's at the time) got really angry at me for calling him 'mad' for something or other and he told my big bro that if I were his little bro he'd have beaten me for it, so I told my big bro that the landlord and his mates were asking me what the various English swearwords meant and that was the end of that argument. Frankly, I don't care how much your culture reviles the word mad. No culture would ever put it above the f-word in the badness list.

Flat hunting. Or more specifically ignorant letting agents, FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Looks like the Poles are sacked. Great news all round. Will find out for sure next week though.

The PS3 Data Transfer Utility. Woot, I've only got 13 hours and 9 minutes to go. I know it's gonna be a total waste of time when I then attempt to restore my backup which'll then re-format the HDD and I'll lose all of this anyway. Or something.

Also eBay. I spend months searching for particular items, only to then resort to lengthy, difficult methods to acquire them. Then every single time the item then appears on eBay for cheaper than I've just paid.

The fact that, even on my days off, work contact me to let me know that somethings gone wrong.

I'll find out about it tomorrow so just let me enjoy my evening in peace.

Our window cleaner is a Polish dude. Seems like a nice bloke and does a good job.

I'd rather he did my windows than FateeDioD, who would somehow manage to cover them in fish and ****.

When you buy GOTY edition of a game, you get home looking forward to playing it. Late night you open said GOTY and some HMV douche has put in the barebones disk/manual and not the GOTY

Years ago in MVC (I think) I bought the Simpsons series 2 box set. As I walked out of the shop, some kind of sixth sense told me that something was wrong. I ignored it. When I reached home, the full horror of the situation revealed itself. The sales monkey had not put a single disc in the box.

Having cussed myself for not noticing this while in an excited daydream, and rueing a skanked night, I went back the next day to get the discs.

The tart behind the counter gave me such an incredulous look that I've never forgot it. I still feel like a criminal to this day, so disgusted and suspicious was her expression. Obviously, I STOLE the discs and returned the box the next day to get more discs. That way, I could SELL the original discs for drugs and keep the new discs to watch, when stoned.

**** Bitch.

This irks you now, and you are aspiring to come to Japan (if I've got the right person)? You're in for a shock.

At the swimming pool 2 weeks ago with my fiancee - we both go into the changing rooms agreeing to meet pool side in about 5 minutes. 30 minutes later (and just as I was about to leave to find out if something has gone wrong) she comes out. Her boss had called her asking for details of the website they are planning, when she couldn't provide them immediately he spent the other 25 minutes shouting at her calling her ***king useless.

One week later during a day trip to Ise Jingu with my fiancee and her family, her boss attempted to call her 6 times - when she eventually relented and picked up he spent an hour yelling at her over the phone while we were all sitting in the car on the way back home. You'd think that would be for something important but no, he just didn't like the way she had worded an email that she had sent. Found out later that when she hadn't answered the first time he had called one of her colleagues and shouted at her instead.

As much as this lack of respect for employee's private time irks me, it also irks me that nobody says anything to put their superiors in their place. In my fiancee's case she didn't even tell him she was at a swimming pool or on a family day trip ><

Trying to find a comfortable pair of jeans that don't attempt to cut you in half at the balls when you sit down.

Stop wearing girly jeans, simple

The last ever thing I bought at Game in Durha, was Zone of the Enders the one that came with a MGS demo disc. They didn't put the disc in and then gave me a hardtime when I went back for it, saying how he had played it and it wasn't worth playing anyway.

I've ****ing paid for it and I want it!

Child Tax Credits.

They want my income details for the year 2005 - 2006. They have received these details multiple times over the last few years. It's like a ritual now. Last 2 times they have received them by recorded delivery. I can PROVE they already have these details. However, they do not accept this and don't care that I have proof. They want the details again and if I don't send them then they cut our child tax credits and want paying back for that year. I'm losing my mind!

On the back of the latest Rock Band 3 song anouncement here is another irk. Why do they keep chosing songs that has been on the rival's game already? There is a good 5 or so songs already that I already have in Guitar Hero, and GH is just as guilty of it as well.

Rammstein have six studio albums, why choose Du Hast for GH5 AND RB3?

[Bort]

^ Brings up an old irk. I was once in the Electric Ballsack and they played the English version of Du Hast. Only in bloody London that would happen.
