Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)
Discussion
Trying to buy a car cover for my car and the various sellers boast of "Tailored" "Perfect fit" " Guaranteed". My car appears on a search and it appears in their drop down menus too (which is a surprise) and I am then offered a range car covers in different indoor/outdoor qualities for my car. When I enquire as to how I select between the door mirror or fender mirror versions, they say they don't do a cover for my car, they're all generic. So their drop down menu lists are an irrelevance and their guarantee of a perfect tailored fit is horsest, they're just small/medium/large.
Whoever just sent me something in the post and didn't put enough postage on it, so it's going to cost me £2.50 to retrieve it. I haven't ordered anything and not received it, so it's a letter which might be important, or might be junk mail.
And the Royal Mail, for not putting the senders name on the card so I can decide whether it's worth the bother of paying to get it. Now I've got to find time to go to the local sorting office and see if they'll let me have a look at it, and hopefully something on it will determine whether it's worth paying and then chasing the sender for the money.

When my insurance company won't amend my policy to a new bike I've bought. They can't provide a quote at all, not even a comical price, but because of that, they have waved their usual £40 'cancelation fee'. How nice of them.
...But they will quote through comparison websites when I do a completely fresh quote with a new like- for-like policy, and at a very acceptable price!

I'd like to lament and bemoan other people's toilet habits:
If you take a dump in shared/communal toilets then please help minimise the stench by doing a courtesy flush of the toilet. Nobody wants to smell your bad diet.
It also helps minimise your skid marks. And please clean those up. Nobody wants to see the state of your diet.
And then there's the topic of people who don't close the toilet lid before they flush. There are videos about the small droplets not visible to the human eye (until they hit the ground) that get sprayed up everywhere during flushing: on you, your clothes, the floor, the seat, the toilet roll, your next door neighbours...
Next, why are some people too lazy to lift the seat up yet proceed to take a Johnny Cash all over it but not clean up...the same with the rim for those who do lift it up...and leave overly long hairs shaped like question marks. Ever thought of giving those a trim in the interests of personal hygiene?
Last thing: why do some people not give two hoots when they urinate on the floor or check before they leave the cubicle? Again...splashing?
Things like this can really make you alter your perception of those whom you work with and maybe even question their habits at home...and that's before you consider their messiness in the communal kitchen area!

K know we've already done Glastonbury, and I probably say this 9ne each year, but those bloody giant flags on 10m poles blocking out the view for everyone behind.
("beyond reason" because I'm not at Glastonbury and am just watching it on TV where I can see everything from multiple angles)

Nothing wrong with the facilities in many 5 star hotels.I'm a proponent of leaving the place in the same state you'd like to find it in yourself... so because it's nigh on impossible for that to be reciprocated I prefer the disabled toilets as they're used less, are generally tidier and have far more privacy and no risk of other people's splashback.
