Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]

Fearne Cotton;
How DARE she tell me whether or not a song is good. What the f
k does she know about music? Absolutely fking nothing, the stupid tt. Every song that has the same stty 4 chords as the last song, is apparently 'beautiful music' and 'touches her soul' and 'brings a shiver to her spine'. What an absolute tt!
She has no music qualifications, can't play any fking instruments and can't even sing. What a patronising arse-wipe.
Plus, her eyes have toe-out. How can she even focus on anything!?
Absolute animal.

The constant blaming of the British Police from the Families of the 3 tarts that went to war 
Suggest they look into their own faith and influences from within.
Sick to death of media coverage over these stupid cows.
Exactly - who gives a flying fook. It's not as though they're converted Vicars daughters is it, who've just cleared off from there rose gardened family home in a quaint Cotswold village.Suggest they look into their own faith and influences from within.

If the press are so interested in these 3 girls, why aren't they getting all upset about the other 500 sky fairy followers that have gone over?
The idiot fking CD draw on my laptop - all I have to do is lightly touch any part of the side of my laptop and it comes out.
On the rare occasions that I actually want to use it, I might as well dig out a pneumatic drill and hammer it on the button on the rare off chance that it might then open.
Useless sack of st laptop.
Give me a pen and paper, every day.

Our council have just announced that we now have to pay a surcharge if we want our garden rubbish collected (previously part of the 'service' we already pay through the nose for).
The reason given: There are now more households in the county.
Er.... more households paying extortionate Council Tax, thereby increasing your overall tax-take and, presumably, the budget for rubbish collection
Money grabbing wkers.

I think you'd be surprised at how little of your council tax goes towards emptying your bins. In Cambridge (City) it's about £3/month. For 2 black, 2 recycle, and 2 (i think) green collections. The reason given: There are now more households in the county.

That's fine, but having more households to collect tax from is hardly a good excuse for not having enough money to collect the bins, whatever the ££ per house for bin day is.OpulentBob said:

Possibly.Very little council tax goes on the roads either. A good proportion, as I understand it, goes on things like child/social services, helping pensioners (meals in wheels etc). A fair amount goes to the emergency services, and a slab goes to the Parishes. Just from memory reading my breakdown when it came through (yesterday morning).
The convenience shop in the station in London that I use sometimes when going home from work.
No matter what I buy, when paying they point at a pile of Galaxy bars by the till or a multi pack of chewing gum to ask if I want them. No I fking don't. And guess what, if I did.....yes that's fking right I'd have either picked them up or asked for them. That being how the shopping experience works. Gets right on my nerves.

Why do cash machines spend several seconds after somebody has taken their cash and fked off - thanking them for their business - and wont let you insert your card until after it has decided it has thanked the last customer for long enough.
Surely it can't be beyond the capability of man to design a cash machine that detects when the next customer is inserting their card and decide "actually the last customer is probably gone by now".
More and more things these days have these unnecessary pauses built in - why - surely the rate limiting factor should be the human input - the technology shouldn't be rate limiting unless there is a specific reason for doing so (e.g. safety or the technology cannot be reasonably made to go faster)

I'm pretty sure about 5 years ago the only limitation to how long it took to withdraw money from a cash machine was how quickly I could press the buttons.
Perhaps it's the Stockholm syndrome kicking in but slowly the annoying lag experienced while operating ATM's is becoming bearable, in all probability it's some form of security feature to make sure my money is better protected from card fraud or whatever...
Even with this in mind it still doesn't quite quench the completely unreasonable and out of proportion impatience the little powerfully build company director portion of my psyche feels. That guy's a dick who considers beating an ATM into submission an entirely reasonable response if it defies him- especially when he's in a hurry or late
