What Makes You REALLY ANGRY?

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!

The E-Mail I received from Amazon today telling me my parcel had been delivered and handed to the tenant 'Thunderace' when I was actually 100 miles away from home and the cardboard box had been left outside in torrential rain.What on earth are they thinking ditching Collect+ in favour of Local Collect?

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'.
This sort of annoys me, less than it used to, but for some reason the annoyance level peaked during this weeks "University Challenge" when one of the team captains provided every answer with a false interrogative. I'm not sure it makes me 'REALLY ANGRY' but it's bloody annoying.

Drivers who wait for the lights to turn to green before indicating their intention to turn right.
+1 normally in the lane where you could go straight on, so you pull up behind the one car at the lights instead of the queue of 20 cars, then the indicator goes on....... ARRGHHH. makes me want to get out of the car and stick the indicator stalk where the sun don't shine. Riders of recumbent bicycles.
More hateful than any form of lycra clad 'I'm riding the olympic route on a SUNDAY so fecck you if you all have to wait, I AM the real BRADLEY WIGGINS fantasist' cycling, horse riding, scootering, packs of weekend ramblers or any other form of un taxed road twit.

That made me cross as well. 3 local pickup places are all closed by 5:30, meaning it's impossible to get there before they close. I'm having to collect+ to a place next to work, then pick it up there! Hopefully they won't do the same, or I'll have to order everything on a Friday...What on earth are they thinking ditching Collect+ in favour of Local Collect?

king hate Harleys. As you say, almost entirely ridden by people who would benefit greatly from being assaulted with their own deliberately overly loud straight pipes.jimmyjimjim said:

The village should charge an entrance fee which increases for the fewer wheels you have. Is there anything more antisocial than a weekend biker?

I spent the last few years being one of the best racing sim/game drivers in the world, so to get beaten by a nobody on a poxy football games makes me bruise my knuckles, bust my controller and hurt my toes. Football brings out the worst in me.

There's a beautiful little village near my primary UK residence, with a fantastic village green, friendly ducks to feed, good pub, nice people. Yet every summer, every ing weekend, all the fking leather clad sports bike yobbos (who are all no doubt fully respectable family men during the week) decide to descend on the place, revving their engines to high heaven, wheelies over the little humpback bridge, parking everywhere, riding on the grass, and generally acting like they're Valentino Rossi under the influence of bad Kryptonite.

Sounds very much like Finchingfield in Essex. ing weekend, all the fking leather clad sports bike yobbos (who are all no doubt fully respectable family men during the week) decide to descend on the place, revving their engines to high heaven, wheelies over the little humpback bridge, parking everywhere, riding on the grass, and generally acting like they're Valentino Rossi under the influence of bad Kryptonite.
