Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 2]
Discussion
The neighbours in the flat below me for unbelievably, ridiculously loud urination. I'm not talking just in the early hours of the morning either. Even at lunch time on a Saturday for example, they can be heard pissing from at least five blocks away. Think race horse pissing from the top of a seventy four storey building into a tin can below and you'll get the idea. I dread to think the hell the occupants on the ground floor below them will be going through given that I can hear them from above. They seriously need to get one of those Egglu things that featured on Dragon's Den a year or so ago.

The real problem here is the Differences between English building regulations and Scottish building regulations. Scotland's building regs are much more stringent when it comes to noise insulation in building construction.
England has the bare minimum. Housing construction in England needs an overhaul. The type of stupid little boxes they build now puts people right on top of each other, minimum insulation to meet building regs, so noise from one dwelling to another is very likley. Some smaller homes even state that Flat Pack furniture must be used as you would not be able to get a bed or sofa through the front doors or around the corners to enter rooms. Its wrong and the Law should be changed.
So if you want a quieter building, Scotland's your best bet

I get noise from my neightbours too... sh4gging... 
we hear it on a regular basis, the odd thing is, I thought it was always the same couple, but they are on honeymoon, and I heard it last night / this morning..People in the gym 
Hogging the equipment, not putting any effort in, and chucking weights around is bad enough
but what really boils my pi$$ is bad form; I saw some twunt the other day doing barbell curls
on the preacher bench who still managed to utilise his shoulders, back, and legs! Waste of feckin' time

Workplace fridges.
Threw away 2 pints of cheese this morning that some kind soul had left in there and people had apparently filed under 'not my problem' - for a month. Retch central.
Shelves covered in assorted spillages. 'Orange juice' carton laying on one. Removed shelf, turned it upside down. Carton remained firmly affixed to shelf.
I dont drink tea or coffee and mostly am far too lazy to make lunch before work, so am a rare visitor to the fridge, but every tme I do its
central.

central.Companies who are interested in hiring me, yet are only willing to offer LESS then i currently make, and wont offer me a fleet-car to boot.
I just wasted an entire free afternoon on an interview with a company which looked OK, they liked me, i have the skills and enthusiasm they want, then at the end of an hour and a half they just want to check if we are in the same ballpark before we waste more of each others time, and this s
t pops up.
the clincher was that they do offer fleet cars, but have an active discouragement policy, meaning to qualify for a fleet-car, you have to wave goodbye to 10% of your pay, which also means less holiday money, pension savings etc... bunch of clowns really.

Flat neighbours generally. I don't know what it is about them that attracts people to think, "Aha! This building surrounded by neighbours in every direction is the perfect place for my dream of eggshell-thin laminate flooring, heavy track door wardrobes bolted directly to transmission walls, and parties with my friends from the Dropping Things On The Floor Club and the Competitive Cupboard Door Slamming League! I shall load my leaky washing machine into a van forthwith!"+1 on theworks fridge, i gave the workshop supervisor carte blanche to clear the thing out each friday, staff have been told if you want it, take it home on friday as it wont be there in the afternoon.
This came about after finidng a fruit salad which had been opened, one piece of fruit consumed and the rest left to become a biology exam experiment, i didnt know strawberries become a white milky substance if left long enough....
Also the fact a mortgage repayment would be about £400pm but equivelant rents (of which there are bugger all around here) cost £700-£800 pounds pm....
grr
