Little annoyances.... Things that shouldn't do....but make me fricking crazy;

Rining someone on meteor and getting their answering machine only to hear "To leave a message for someone else, press 4" - Why would I want to leave a message for someone else? Would I not ring them?

Not as much but when I call to order a pizza and they answer "Hello" - I have to say "can I order a pizza please?" every time, i'm not going to ask you the distance to the moon or the diameter of the earth..... Why not answer "Can i take your order please?"

Anyone else? No? yeah?

Continuous quotes actually, "Shamone" used to wreck my head...

Be nice Noblestee, they can still be funny when delivered by someone capable.

You dont even live in America. Every company you try to call has one of those automated sonnofabitches. To continue in english, press 1.

Or an actual call I had with Sirius Satellite Radio:
Sorry, I didnt quite understand: you can either say yes or no to the following question. Okay? Lets try that again. If you need assistance activating a new radio. Say Yes. For all other queries, say no. Sorry, I didnt quite understan-

"Agent."

No, they can't.

Sounds like something an Anchorman-quoter would say...

So you rang a pizza place....and asked if you could order a pizza?

LMAO. Did he catch you on the hop by saying 'Hello'?

Anchorman quotes are not funny. Ever. That SNL cow bell sketch has gotten quite a bit of milage as well. Also not funny.

Extremely large women that wear t-shirts that are way too small:eek:

My missus drunkenly rang dominos one night and asked "do you deliver to (address)"...when they said yes she asked "will you go to burger king for me?

Another time she called one of those tv psychics and when the woman asked for her name she replied "you aren't very good are you?"..and hung up. She was drunk that time too.

I think my missus has a drink problem but she's a good laugh.

Over use of the words 'actually' and 'obviously'. The latter usually by some dumb footballer post match......'eh, obviously they're the team to beat and eh obviously I think we eh, put in a good performance. Obviously.'

think this happens when someone sets their phone to divert calls to 171 instead of what it should be (your phone code)5(your number) ie 08751234567

don't forget "basically"

Little annoyances are the things that annoy me most. Then I get a little annoyed about being so annoyed, and then.....

Overuse of the word "fantastic" by the plebs in our society since their self-appointed spokesman G. Ryan was foisted on our ears in the mid-80s.

By equal measure, the American overuse of the word 'awesome' is equally nauseating.
Not sure who's to blame for this one, but, believe me, there is a bullet waiting for them.

Find some new superlatives you morons!
