The official 'Get it off your chest thread'

A lot of things in this thread I agree with but will add this:

Working on first line support and the same person takes 10 min breaks every hour to go to the toilet, make personal calls etc. mostly when hes next in line to take a call (are you a chronic fapper or wtf? seriously!)

Sometimes I see myself losing it at work and going all Jerry Mcguire on people.

To oppose that, which imo is MUCH worse is cyclists practically in the middle of the damn road making it almost impossible to get past on some roads.

I agree, I'm not a driver but when I'm a passenger in a car and see this I think it's bad, some cyclists just don't pay attention, but I'm not one of them

people who drive with their fog lights on when its not foggy

The only thing that annoys me more is women (I've yet to see a man) who have their rear wiper on when it's spitting with rain.

I know it's only an electric motor and a rubber blade but I have to feel soory for the poor things dragging itself in such a sorry way accross a screen drier than the sahara!

People who have bad table manners annoy me. Some who slurps and sucks food off spoons and chewing loudly with their mouth open, my pet hate :mad:

My flatmate always when she tastes something sucks it off a spoon or something then sort of makes a tutting sound or something, like sucking her tongue on the roof of her mouth as she is tasting it, does my bloody head in.

People who drive under the speed limit, I cannot tell you how much this winds me up, there's just no need for it. So many times on my way to work I see people going at about 45mph, when they can do 70....why?!?! You're going to cause an accident!! :mad:

This happens a lot to me. There's a 60 limit road for 3 miles which leads to the M1. People sit at 30/40MPH the whole way, for no reason.

Also, near home there is a 30 to 40 back to 30 bit of road where people sit at 30 through the 40 for over 2 miles!

Staff who, no matter how many times you have explained that they should ask if there is something that they don't understand and you really, really don't mind how many times they ask, still go off and do things the wrong way or do something dangerous.

People who have no regard for the feelings or sensitivities of others. Treat people as you would be treated is a good motto for life.

People who chew / eat while you're trying to have a telephone conversation with them.

But what gets my dander up the most - socks not paired up when they are put into the laundry basket, so either I have to spend time looking for odd socks or I have to put up with whinging males complaining about the lack of socks in the morning. :mad:

What if they where rang in the middle of eating though? And it was hot food they don't want to go cold?

Then they have a right to eat whilst on the phone.

Oh, I've got another one...

Just talking a to a client on the phone. Trying to get him to open Start/Run/CMD then do and ipconfig.. Easy peasy right!

me. Can you click on start
him. Hang on.......(Pause for 10 seconds)
me. hello, are you there?
him. Yes, can you not rush me please I'm not sure where start is.
me. *sigh*
him. Right, now what?
me. Can you now click on run?
him. hang on (again long pause)
me. It's the first option above Shutdown
him. Can you not rush me please!
me . Don't worry I'll connect remotely and sort it out.

The guy can use Autocad like it's a dot-to-dot for children yet struggles with clicking on start!

So, Dumb users in general is another thing to get of my chest!
