***Official "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" Thread***

Micro$oft who make it almost impossible to cancel live subscriptions in order to line their greedy pockets.

This happened to me, so I went into my banks and asked them to freeze all payments to Microsoft or "Xbox Live" without my consent :p

Edit: Oops double post

as a truck driver people who dont indicate at round abouts untill they are leaving it.what is the point of flashing an indicator once when your already leaving the ******* round about, what help is that to anyone.

and also as a truck driver, yaris drivers, why is it always these that driver at 55mph on the motorways and make trucks overtaking take miles to pass them. just drive at 57 dammit.
 
Having to attend meetings straight after lunch in a room clearly too small for accomodate the number of attendees, thus air-con not cooling the room sufficiently and us all begging for match sticks to keep our eyes open.

Lol, you dont work in the norfolk area do you by any chance?

And in relation to that, truck drivers who drive next to each other blocking 2 lanes of the motorway, if you can't overtake him sit behind him :mad:

Truckers who think it's fine to move over into another lane on the motorway after a quick flash of their indicators whilst you're overtaking them forcing you to move over as well.

;)
 
People who don't know how to use the self-checkout tills!

If you don't know how to use it, DON'T USE IT!

How did you know how to use it the first time you used it?

It annoys me when people in the football forum refer to their team as 'us' assuming everyone knows who they support.

X Factor.

Some friends constantly posting on Facebook about their MLM opportunity.
 
After my tube journey home tonight, a couple which most Londoners can probably relate to:

People who wait until they are stood in front of the tube ticket barrier, THEN decide to find their oystercard which is buried somewhere deep in their handbag :mad:

Also people who rub their oyster card repeatedly on the pad, which just causes the barrier to go red for the person behind - it's TAP in and TAP out, not rub in and rub out!
 
The fat **** on the train who made no effort to shield the rest of the train from catching his cold as he was obviously too lazy to put his hand in front of his mouth as he sneezed down the side of my face, along with his reluctance to acknowledge he was a disgusting blimp and found it too difficult to apologise.

People who criticise others openly when they are in the wrong.

People who jump on the anti anti muslim bandwagon because they labour under the impression its cool to accuse others of being racist when they point out hypocrisy.

People who make rubbish, pointless posts at an attempt at self validation.

People who use txt spk in any way, even when texting.

People who post opposing opinions, just to be controversial, even when they would never support such rubbish.

Liberals.

People who hurt children.

The people I work with who think its cool to use the last of the milk, then complain because I won't go out yet again to replace it.

People who work on trains and at stations who desperately need to have customer service training. It comes to something when you can consistently produce people passengers want to punch on the face Arriva trains.

People who complain about how much we are being tucked up in Britain and do nothing about it.

People who blindly believe what is printed in the paper.

Katie Price, James Cordon, Frankie Boyle.

People who think the above are anything other than an odious waste of oxygen.

People who claim asylum in Britain having travelled 2000 miles through 9 different countries couped up in the back of a lorry.

People who are too afraid to speak their mind.

People who lose arguments and respond with total rubbish.

Government ministers who are blatantly corrupt but get away with everything and even make reappearances worthy of Lazarus when their political careers should have been over long ago, replaced with lengthy prison sentences.
 
Phrases such as 'think out of the box', 'on board', 'engaged' 'no I in team' and the like.

Cancelled 'urgent' meetings after changing my calendar and other less important meetings to fit it in.

The screeching voice of Bianca from Eastenders.

The latest incarnation of Scooby Doo cartoons

Hanna Montana and any other programme that has the terrible laughing by studio audiences at poorly written 'jokes'.

People who think it is fine to allow their cats to crap in my garden but then object when I fling said crap over my fence back into theirs.

Chavs who drive with there seat so far back they can't see over the steering wheel.

Oh and a mini rant but...

People Who Post With A Capital Letter At The Beginning Of Every Word.
 
The usual suspects really...

Tabloid newspapers
Any TV or radio station that airs adverts
Dawdlers (both peds and cyclists)
Traffic lights that have an unnecessarily long cycle which go red once the peds have crossed. They should go red a few moments after you press the button!
Hip hop/RNB/rap music
Companies who incessantly look for ways to increase their ARPU incomes. Yes I know they're businesses but at the same time they should cut us some slack. I'm looking at mobile operators and Sky the most here.

People who walk slow very very slow!
People who have an attitude problem when asking you how to solve a problem then saying "ive tried that" at every suggestion and take no notice as they know everything they just want to know how to fix said problem!
