No time bullshit, if they want to cancel I will cancel it. The price is what it is, if they don't want to pay it they don't want to pay it.

The IVR of every single large company I phone says 'we're really busy right now, you call is important to us'. Not so important that you can't employ enough staff to answer phones within 30 mins though obviously...Twats.

Was looking for a contact number last night and the website for the company said “our lines are usually busy so please only call in an emergency” wel hire some fucking staff then!!

I love that ones that no matter how many times you call are always 'experiencing a high volume of calls', if you've permanently got more calls than you can answer you haven't got enough staff!

At my previous company the official automated response from their complaints department was something along the lines of ‘We are experiencing an unprecedented number of emails and will endeavour to respond to you within 14 days’.
What company outwardly wants to basically tell their customers that they are shit and inundated with complaints so get in line.
Madness.

My GPS automated response always says there are experiencing a high volume of calls and that they have 'a zero tolerance policy'.

To be fair to him it was or is very near the anniversary of his dads death. I think that probably had more to do with it.

mmm, not wishing to appear mean, but he died 24 years ago.

Tossers driving round with only 1 headlight or 1 headlight pointing to the sky looking for low flying aircraft, just get your lights sorted out ffs!

It’s a struggle. I haven’t done it often but when I have I’ve felt like driving off the road.
The worst thing I did recently was give out to a driver who pulled out from a side road, right in front of me. The fucker! I gave him all sorts of shit. Until he patiently pointed out to me I was still signalling left…the road he’d just come from.
It’s a struggle.

The funny ones are the ones who flash angrily because they think you’ve got your full beams on, but really they’re at a lower point than you and dipped points down! Like when you meet on a small bridge for example

I have those lights that go onto beam when it’s quite and adjust when the traffic comes, obviously it takes part of a second to switch over and you get loads of flashes as it t changes.

In a similar vein, people who are either too stupid (or their car too clever) to put lights on in poor visibility. Fancy new cars will often have day-running headlights so people think they don't need to turn their lights on themselves, but they usually DON'T turn the rear lights on automatically, so it can be essentially dark or zero visibility and people are totally unaware.

Most of the time it doesn't even need that, just reply to the email and job done.

Not sure this is exclusive to Teams. My old place loved a pointless IRL meeting that should’ve been an email.

Yeah it's just the newer version of it.
Couldn't stand those either, I've worked in some places where I have no idea how they actually get any work done.

In my experience it means the managers do bugger all but talk and everyone else works late to catch up.
