Energy Companies, tried to switch to take the bill down a bit. New company wanted meter readings so I sent them over, somewhere along the line they haven't spoken to the previous supplier and given them the right numbers. So they have sent me a bill for close to £300 (I say bill, they have taken it from my account) as well as the new company wanting £110.
All of that to save £20 a month, both of them say speak to the other to get it sorted. Not happy.

6 blokes for 1 phone, so organised as well!
Awful, all thieves are absolute scum, it's not yours don't take it!
The summer holidays.
Day 1 and some little runt smashes a football into my satellite dish and has broken it. No amount of dangling out the upstairs window while pulling at it will get the reception back and i've got to fork out £65 to get it fixed. And then there's the little girl who stood in our front garden knocking on our kitchen window. The wife goes outside to see what she wants. Nothing is the reply. Perfectly normal behaviour i'm sure.

Ignorant people on trains. I've got on a busy train and sat in a seat. Next to me was a black backpack. A few seconds later a lad comes up and says that's my bag I'll be back in a minute so I have to say to half a dozen people sorry that seats taken. Anyway, the train pulled out the station and there's no sign of the lad and the toilet isn't in use so I'm sat next to an unattended bag that could have who knows what in. Eventually at the twentieth time of being asked 35 minutes into the journey I shift it as it's standing room only. A couple of minutes later he reappears to check on it and says I've got another seat further down the train but I've just come over to check it's alright.
So I've spent 35 minutes wandering whether i'm about to be blown up whilst appearing ignorant to the poor sods who are stood all around me so some div can have a seat for his bag.

On a train related whinge....
People who shoot you a filthy look when they are sitting in your allocated seat! Just don't fucking sit there, the sign clearly says it's booked!
Also people who decide to have a full course, hot meal that stinks the train out and all you can hear is them eating very loudly next to you
Train wankers who think they are important and want you to listen to their important phone call

I once got the ticket collector to move some woman from the quiet carriage because she was on the phone loudly for 30 mins non stop, she gave me a right mouthful as she changed carriages, I just smiled back.

I just can't help but feel someone is missing a trick with the overcrowded train conundrum, countries like India have had this problem solved for years buy allowing passengers to sit on the roof and cling to the sides of trains using nothing but a vice like grip as payment.
Has the world gone mad or could we not benefit from this forward thinking approach to rail travel?

When you are watching a TV programme (usually a documentary) and just before the break for adverts (though the Beeb do it to, either at the start or part way through a show) they say 'Coming up' after the break or part two.
Surely you are watching the programme anyway, why do we need to see what's coming up in the second part when the second part is a mere 3 minutes away anyway?
Really annoying. I quite often record programmes, so when they do, do this I not only fast forward through the ads, but also through the 'coming up' bit too.
Why do they do that? Are they so scared you are going to turn off or change channel? If so, they should make better programmes!!
Grrr!!!!
Hate the delay in the host giving the answer to contestant's reply in quiz shows too. Quite excruciatingly painful at times. Just say right or wrong and stop the overly dramatic pauses!!

Agreed, can't stand the "coming up" shpiel. I believe it's due to the fact TV companies think 99% of folks watching have a short attention span nowadays!
I don't mind a dramatic pause for announcing winners, however they go toooo far and loses that edge.

People in front of you at the bank. What are they doing that takes so long, when I get to the window it takes me 2 minutes max and I'm out, these dickheads seem to take hours.

Had to google what "brevity" meant >.< so I get your point, wingy, but I still enjoy some suspense!
If I remember correctly, Tarrant was pretty good at the dramatic pause/suspense. I don't personally watch these shows, but the likes of X-Factor, Big Brother, Britains Got Talent etc. I've seen the clips of them and they take a fookin age in announcing winners, spoils the ending, anti-climax.

The pauses seem to get longer and longer. It's most ridiculous I have noticed on the likes of Who Dares Wins on the lottery show when everyone and I mean EVERYONE knows the answer was correct. The contestants, the audience in the studio and all of us at home too. We all know the answer!
A bleedin easy question with a bleedin obvious right answer and yet they still do the long, long, long pause.
Hose : 'Name players who have captained England at football.'
Contestant: 'David Beckham!
Host: 'Is David Beckham on the list?'. Long pause..............Zzzzzzzz ......long, long, long pause ........ 'David Beckham IS on the list!!!!'
Agrhh!!!!!!!!!!

I think some of the long pauses are to waste time so not too many questions get asked so saving money especially with the one that Winton used to do around lottery time.

Camera shake - on all channels, mainly for dramas. What's the point in HD/ ULTRA HD etc when it looks like they use mobile phones on maximum zoom to film it. Bastards.
...and people who say "mom"
.....and people who speak like "we went to town ? ...to buy some food?" Like it's a fucking question or they think I'm as thick as pig shit.
