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

Selling property. An 'interested' purchaser put an offer in a week or so back, we managed to find a very good property within the week and got an offer accepted too.

Everything was going well but now they wont answer calls or respond to the agent's requests for solicitors details so we can proceed. To make it worse the property I wanted is a repossession and thusly has a time limit to get the transaction sorted.

Thoroughly pissed off, ruined my evening.

Go knock on their door.....you know where they live! lol

The young folk of today and use of english, lets take facebook examples.

"I havnt had brecfast this morning."

grrrrrrrrrrrr AND

"Night in tonite and I am bord bord BORD."

I knows this person?
Also the more widespread and common use of 'You woz'
Now my english ain't too hot but hearing some teens today not only makes me feel ancient but also quite scared.

I am a member of another forum that is based in Singapore - 95% of the forum membership only speak English as a second language. Recently there has been an influx of American teenagers, and frankly it's embarassing.

The people from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philipines, France etc all use better English than they do.

The girl I had come over to look at the 2nd bedroom in my apartment won't answer my emails. Now i have to move and pay an extra weeks rent in my current place, plus deposit/rent/pet deposit in the new one.

My pain is nowhere near as bad as yours but all the same:

Gah.

Having deadlines for a big job move from May to March, nothing I can do about it, I need the money and if I can't do it by March the job is likely to go elsewhere.

The fact I have just gotten over a month long cold but now I seem to have the start of a chest infection.

People who haven't acquired the basic life skill of "answering the telephone" should have to wear stickers on their foreheads reminding us of this fact. I've dealt with these selfish idiots before. The most maddening thing is, they waltz around, coming and going as they please, I think with no idea of the problems they cause for other people.

Gah, I'm now in the "why jiffy bags, Zavvi?" club. Blazblue LE is all bashed along the edges.

Noisy server rooms.

I'm in one at the moment and have to hang around here until the email server's back online so I can answer the phone and tell people that electricity waits for no man.

I just found out my terminal PC has a built-in speaker so I've been listening to the radio on it. It's playing DP's Around the World right now but it sounds funky with NO bass at all

Even better, the music sounds louder when you're outside the room, probably because of the corridor acoustics.

Seriously considering running to Dixons over there and buying a cheap pair of speakers...

Irk#2: DNS servers not replicating properly

A 35 minute multiple choice online interview so I can get paid what I should for the job I've already been for 3+ months.

One of our testers:

"Brad, I've turned off the test machine"
"What, the one I was remote desktopping to"
"Yes"
"When you went to shut it down did it not tell you that someone was logged in remotely?"
"Yes"
"But you shut it down anyway?"
"Yes"

That right there sums up my week actually.

Someone did that here while I was updating their XP machine to SP3. Tech support is like working in a nursery with little children who you can't tell off because they belong to other people.

People should be given disciplinaries for doing silly things like that with computers. It'd make my job a lot easier. They don't even have any excuses as it's written there in plain English. It's not like it says ERR#41341513x9134 or something, it literally says 'such-and-such' is logged on.

And yet again another ebay buyer DOES NOT READ THE DESCRIPTION PROPERLY in my listing. Or actually he did read it as he must have known it was only free p&p to mainland UK otherwise he wouldnt have asked how much it would cost to ship to N Ireland (when it states that clearly). So I sent him an invoice just so he can see it for himself, & now 5 days later I havent heard a peep from the guy.

I know where this is going, again.

Ebay needs to bring back neg fb for buyer like this.

But aren't postage oosts to N Ireland the same as all UK postage? Thats what I was told at the post office.

Exactly the same.
