Things that annoy you (102 Viewers)

[Nick]

If you're actually willing to drop the service and leave it must come through in your voice, there have been times I've been angling for a sweet deal and never got it but was quite happy this time to ditch the lot and just get one of those Freeview HDR boxes instead.

I like it when people do ring me at work and say they are going to cancel because it's cheaper elsewhere. "OK I will cancel this for you"

A lot of the time they shit themselves.

Nick - you are a sadist!

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.

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'.

especially annoying for Umpa Lumpas

Cricketers (e.g. Jonny Bairstow today) celebrating individual milestones (scoring 100 today) whilst playing a part in a completely shit team performance. (i.e. a 5-0 series loss)

 

[Sbarcher]

And when they work they blow out bloody cold air!

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.

Have managed to get 1 of them working once in the last 3 years!

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

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

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.

Twinkly xenon headlamps pah .
I mean it's not you guys fault , just the stupid cretins in the safety body that approved the f**kers.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

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.

The "teams" way of working.

Ask a simple question in an email and instead of answer you get "Let's set up a team's call".

No, I get that you want to act busy but it will take you 2 minutes to answer my question. It doesn't take an hour on teams to figure it out.

Said this yesterday. Phone me dickhead.

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.
