What Makes You REALLY ANGRY?
Discussion
I'm with the earlier posters who said people in shops, cafes, etc who ask "Can I get...". No, you retard, the person serving you is the one who will "get" what it is you want to "have".
My other bugbear is people who say "would of/should of".
There'll probably be other, different ones tomorrow.

People who speak as if everything is a question.
I'm not sure it makes me 'REALLY ANGRY' but it's bloody annoying.
I was flicking through radio stations earlier and happened to end up on Radio 1 while the News was on. I can't remember what the stories were but they were talking to members of the public and at least 5 different girls/women gave their opinions on them, except they didn't really seem to be opinions as every statement went up at the end.
Do these people actually get jobs? Can you imagine interviewing them for a role other than burger flipper?
I would never employ an 'up talker'.
You'd never employ a New Zealander, then. You get used to it.I'm not sure it makes me 'REALLY ANGRY' but it's bloody annoying.

Please share, it'll give The Little People something to aspire to.

Oh, and those f
king "Keep Calm and...." posters, mugs etc.The email I received from Amazon today saying they won't be using Collect+ after 24 August.
What on earth are they thinking ditching Collect+ in favour of Local Collect?
In my area there are three Local Collect post offices. None are open after 5:30pm during the week. My local Collect+ is open until 11pm.
On a weekend only one of the three Local Collect post offices is open after 12:30pm on a Saturday, and that's only 'till 1:30pm. My local Collect+ is open all day Saturday and Sunday.
And finally, of the three Local Collect post offices near me, one is in a busy town centre where you can never get parked nearby and have to pay, the second is on a busy main road where it's impossible to park full stop, and the third is only slightly less awkward for parking than the second. My local Collect+ is in a relatively quiet street where it is always easy to park nearby.
Amazon state that “Occasionally, we need to make changes to our range of Pickup Locations to ensure we can continue to provide customers with the greatest possible service, low prices and convenience when shopping online."
How on earth does any of this constitute "greatest possible service" and "convenience?" when it pretty much makes it impossible to collect parcels outside of office hours and restricts its collection points to places where parking is at best, very difficult, and at worst, nigh on impossible. The very reason I already avoid retailers that use Royal Mail is because it's so excruciatingly difficult to get your hands on your parcels because of their post offices' anachronistic opening hours and inconvenient locations.
From now on I'll be looking specifically for online retailers who deliver to Collect+ or to my local Hermes Parcel Shop and on that note. Amazon can take a long hard look at the last money they received from me, 'cause it's the last money of mine they're going to see until they get their heads out of their backsides and reverse this ridiculous retrograde step!

My local town centre, like many in this country is dying on its arse. It has a couple of nice parks that make a good place to hold big events and the local populace can meet up.
Credit to the town centre management, they put on an annual festival with bands, a big firework show, food stalls and the like, they have an Easter party for families, and a weekend every August where they show a packed programme of films outdoors.
Sounds good, no?
Well try all of the above without a beer tent, or being able to take a few cans or a bottle of wine along with a picnic. Sadly these events are all alcohol free, and consequently largely people and atmosphere free too.
All because about 100 years ago, a rich town father donated the land to the town, but he was a raging methodist and did so on the condition that there would be no sinful consumption of alcohol to ruin the godly enjoyment of the parks.
Ironically this year, the local Camra group ran a beer festival with many thousand visitors attending on the same day as the town festival, so they could have been combined in the same location to bring a real focal point of activity to the town. But the most suitable venue they found themselves was the local boy's secondary school!
I'm no uncontrolled drunkard, but I'd love a pint or two meeting up with friends and family while the kids have a bit of fun with their mates and we all have a bit of entertainment. My anger at seeing "this is an alcohol free event" at the bottom of the posters twists my gut at another lost opportunity for our town.

Smug tts that feel the need to advertise every aspect of their sthole lives on Facebook. fking tossers.
Definitely this. Especially the ones who feel the need to post photos of their dinner, or if on holiday a photo for every 2 steps they take.ts that feel the need to advertise every aspect of their sthole lives on Facebook. fking tossers.Selfie sticks. What happened to just asking someone nearby to take your photo? On holiday last year I was fed up nearly being clouted by these things by pouting couples who found it more important to get their ugly mugs in a photo, than it was to get a photo of whatever landmark they were in front of. Especially when there is about 20 folk all with said sticks. I'd have cheerfully stuck them where they would have needed to use the flash on their smartphone!
When giving way at a roundabout, the car I'm giving way to suddenly turns left without indicating. Then they sort of stare at you as if they are wondering why you haven't moved off.
