Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Anything that's government funded such as the local council, Student Loans Company, public sector workers etc. It's absolutely impossible to get anything done with these organisations/people without it taking several weeks or even months. If they were run like this in the private sector they'd be dead in the water after three months!

correctly spaced but off centre number plates, ie the font leaves a big space at the left or right hand side. there seems to be an influx of them in my town, I'll need to try get a pic next time I see one.
A gap on the left needs to be filled with a blue stripe GB sticker. Apparently dealers get grief from some miserable sods for putting a tiny EU flag on their car.kowalski655 said:
Edinburgh Waverley station...barely anyone selling tickets, half the escalators & lifts broken,and a bunch of Glaswegian slappers literally screaming at one another from 2 feet away from each other as they cant find their train
This!I know its getting a refurb but god its a hole. GF uses it as its closer to her grandparents house, but Haymarket is 5 minutes up the line and much more relaxing, I don't mid walking a bit farther from the station to avoid the gobby tts often to be found shouting their conversations into their phones in the cold open platform.
I have found a whole new level of rage since Esso (I think) released an advert suggesting that you buy something revolting from their 'deli' when you fill up with petrol.
The actor in the advert likes the result so much, he makes a noise halfway between the orgasm in When Harry Met Sally and a 3 cylinder car accelerating up a hill.
I have to turn the radio off for its own sake.

'on-demand' programmes watched over the internet that get extremely upset if you try to rewind/pause them
'on-demand' programmes watched over the internet that won't let you FF past the adverts.(plus, subsequently finding out that you had the programme already recorded but watched it on the internet because the wife said she'd fogotten to record it when in fact she had remembered but didn't bother checking and so we could have had it on the TV and got past the adverts!!! And breathe....)
Plus, tv adverts in general.
Cookie policies and "subscribe" notices. Why is it on every local rag site you manage to read the first few sentences of a story and then it appears.... the huge screen filling box wanting you to enter all your personal details so they can keep you up-to-date on all their dog-chases-sheep non-stories. And then as fast as you can stab your mouse pointer at the tiny X hidden away somewhere, along comes a similarly sized box telling you about their cookie policies.

Breakfast cereals , the loose ones not the brick like ones such as weetabix etc, why when I get close to the end of a box is there either too much for a regular portion leaving 1/4 portion to get binned or a small portion so I feel cheated ?
