Banks that have 5 'floor walkers' but only one window open when the queue is out the door. Self service checkouts in supermarkets. The numpty that keep threatening to send me to prison for not having a TV licence when I don't have a TV. Drivers going 20mph in a 40. The NHS. The Government. People / companies that over promise and under provide. Local authorities that tell me what I can and can't put in my dustbins. PPI calls, 'You have had an accident' calls, 'You need a new Gas Boiler' calls when there is no gas in the village and we all have Oil heating. Mobile phone providers that tell ne I need a package that costs £30 a month when I actually only pay £5 a month and get everything I need for that amount.
Bla bla bla......and that's just for starters !!!
Blimey Julie, that covers almost everyone. ;D ;D
Trust me Roy, there are more to be added to my list 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

While we’re in the bank queuing and being hassled by the floor walkers, the customers who think it’s ok to have a long chat once they get served or want to know the full minutiae of every little item on their bank statement.

And the bank that thinks my local branch is unecessary and thinks I have nothing better to do than play ducks and drakes with the €$¥§ traffic wardens in a nearby town.

damn bearded check-shirt-wearing london hipsters and the custom bike scene.  i've just had a rant on another forum about this. perfectly good classics being butchered for fashion. a few years from now, enthusiasts will be cutting off the seat hoops and the stupid brown seats, and the frankly dangerous firestones, sanding off the 'old 59' logo on the tank and searching desperately for the parts that were binned earlier in order to return these lovely classics to their original condition. i dont have an issue with custom bikes as long as the base bike is too costly to restore or is a bit of a wreck, but why cut up a classic???

Yeah, those cold callers do piss me off, If I'm in the mood not to just hang up, say my coffee is too hot to drink just yet, I have developed a few ways to waste their time, the new  boiler crowd just love it when you take 5 minutes of their time then explain you only burn wood in your heater. Or the old reliable just saying hello in a silly voice, I have had a few start swearing at me after doing that, they could always try not phoning me up if they dislike me wasting their time.
Banks, I can barely get to an open branch these days, useless bastards close most branches, the nearest one is shut appart from the hours I'm generally working, makes paying in cheques a pain in the butt but that is how customers like to pay sometimes. I think the whole celebrity culture we have is pathetic. Especially the so called talent shows. American politics, do not get me started, especially their gun laws, yes I see the appeal of toys but at the point kids are losing their lives just going to school, it is time to put the things away.

Don't get me started on banks almost all building firms still pay me by cheque as well. It can take weeks before I get the time to pay them in.
People on the books that think I'm raking it in because I'm self employed. What they fail to realise is I don't get paid for being ill or going on holidays company van or fuel. My day doesn't end a 4:30 and my home is like a builders yard because all work crap follows me everywhere I go.

I saw the outcome of the debate/public meeting about that the other day. The mayor has gone back on his previous plans to encourage motorcycling in the city, he now want walking, cycling or public transport to be the only way to get around London. He stated that yes, there would be a place for motorcycles in his plan, but only as a means of doing deliveries to get some small commercial vehicles off the roads. The man is a complete and utter t#at!

I get the feeling I must be the only person in the U.K that finds football totally boring and cannot abide it. >:( >:( I hate the way it suddenly takes over everything, T.V. schedules get disrupted, all anybody seems to talk about is football, even the BBC news is p**sing me off when it's the lead story every day, repeated every 30 mins on the breakfast news, for heaven's sake there is REAL news out there that barely gets 30 seconds of coverage! (Another 2 people critically ill after coming into contact with that Russian nerve agent, far more important than Gareth Southgate's bloody waistcoats! :o) I mean let's face it, football, 22 overpaid prima donna's kicking a bag of wind between a couple of sticks? Whoopee, let's go beat someone up or stab them (or trash Ikea) because they don't like the same team you like, what's that all about????? ??? ??? ??? I drive a bus for a living, could you imagine I stop for a passenger, open the doors, take their fare, then my manager jumping on the bus hugging and kissing me for doing exactly what I'm paid for??? Footballers are paid OBSCENE amounts of money for what they do, so why when they actually do what they are paid for is there a homosexual outbreak on the pitch?????? Rant over!

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

They are all sheep Hairy ;)

Had a woman park her Fish van and walk up the drive a couple weeks ago. She announced that her name was Jenny and she was my local fish supplier, i answered her back in a strong Irish accent " god dumb it woman, i don't even have a pond "  ;D ;D ;D She turned quickly and got back in her van.
