something that really grinds my gears

Never had that problem, perhaps I'm more patient.

More pronounced on some cars than others, for example my Clio was fine but my Fiesta needs to be at a complete stop before I engage reverse.
 
on my mums old car you could put it in reverse while going forward at 50mph if you really wanted.

I'm sure that would grind your gears.

Coffee in sugarpot.............drives me mad. :mad:

I tried putting a spoon in the coffee jar, I tried emailing the entire floor asking people to have a little consideration, I even tried using my own sugar, but some git nicked it! It's not like I'm in a massive office - 15 people on this floor, everyone gets good money, but some folk cannot help acting like SAVAGES! rrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh :eek:

Ahhh, I feel better now.

Additionally, I found who urinates IN THE SINK at work when there was only two men in the office and it happened again...and it wasn't me! No-one knows where the colour A3 banners that appeared in the break-room and on the toilet doors came from, but he hasn't done it since. :D
 
I work for a complaints department... So when people complain about perfectly ordinary business practice and terms and conditions they were fully aware of. Really grinds my gears.

Depends on you what your company defines as "perfectly ordinary business practice and terms and conditions" and what other people believe to be ordinary. Any examples ??

Well its not that only the business finds them acceptable, so do I as a person... But for example;

I work for an ISP when people ask for a migration code to move to another supplier it can take up to 5 working days, even ofcom the industry regulators state we can take up to 5 working days, yet people get annoyed, angry and completely irrational, some if not all of the below are used;

"I want the mac code right away over the phone"
"I'm not getting off the phone untill I get my mac code"
"this is unnacceptable i'm going to see my solicitor about this"
"if you cant do it put me through to someone who can"
"I'm reporting you to ofcom, watchdog and I have contacts, I'll tell all my friends *** ISP is crap"

I can understand someone ringing up and registering a complaint about the situation and saying "i understand it takes 5 working days but i really think it should be shorter" instead of spouting expletives, demeaning my job role and acting like the code taking 5 working days is the crime of the century.
 
You are in all honesty dragging your feet though, my ISP has a system whereby the MAC code is sent with no human intervention what so ever.
 
People who say "innit" or "you know what I mean" or "basically" in every single sentence.

People (housemate) who leave meat on the counter rather than put it back in the fridge, people who cook rice in a pan and leave it there to dry so it's bloody hard to wash up.

People who think they can break rules that CAN'T be broken (my dad thinking he can go the wrong way down a one way street) (My dad stuffing his suitcase so that it weighs about 40 kg and expects aircraft to take it in the hold, then puts up a hissy fit.)

Jehova's witnesses.

Aye, we used to but OFCOM stopped us :rolleyes:

And bah I think I need a new job tbh.
 
welsh assembly members, apparently today they have been passing some law making sure school children behave on the school bus.
 
People who walk around with their phone in their hand/around their neck, playing out some crappy music through the speakers. Always makes me think "FFS buy yourself some bloody earphones you utter retards!"

Random people who always feel the need to stare at you whenever you walk into a club/room/etc acting like they're so bloody hard that everyone suddenly bows down whenever they see them staring.

People who excessively whine, moan, cry like idiots whenever they don't get their way. I used to work in Next so I guess that's where this stems from!

:mad:


And now onto a nice cup of relaxing tea (WITH SUGAR) :p ;)
