    Front derailleur on my bike got knocked skew somehow. Stopped working properly, and the adjustments didn't work properly either, until I figured that out. TA at myself for not spotting it more quickly. :o

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Even worse than the Women's World Cup.

    What the hell is wrong with Vodafone? :mad:

    First they mess with my credit AND my voicemail (which I can reset on my own, but only through 171, which isn't free of charge, and it's a problem they've created and it's happened four times already), then they give me wrong information to the queries I posted in "Talk to" and they stop replying altogether, then they withdraw from Boards but they tell you to try their live chat, and although it's not even 4pm they tell you there's nobody available because they're only open until 10PM. :mad: And my credit balance isn't coming up, I'm getting either blank pages or error messages, and on more than one browser. I'VE HAD IT WITH THEM!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Try cancelling a broadband account with them. Almost 3 months it took. Un-f*cking-believable. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with and that is saying something.

    Women who don't flush the toilet after themselves. Gowls, every one of them.

    When I cleaned rooms in a hotel one of my pet hates was cleaning women's room because there used be make-up and tan everywhere!

    The end of my 2 year Tesco Mobile contract was in May, and I had sworn blind that I'd change service provider as soon as I got chance, due to fairly constant loss of network coverage.

    However, each mobile provider seems to be as inept and customer un-friendly as the next one, if reports on Boards and elsewhere are anything to go by.

    TA: Tesco Mobile are rubbish.
    TA: All others are equally rubbish.

    I've had no trouble cancelling any contract like that in years. I ring the person and am told I can't cancel over the phone, I have to write a letter or email someone etc... I just tell them that after this call right now I will be stopping the direct debit which kinda forces them to do it then and there or they put me onto to someone who will.

    Nothing good to say about any of them but Vodafone are definitely the worst. TA that people keep.signing up for them so their service never changes.

    Not something that annoys me but something I don't like is a black tie wedding dress code.
    Mainly because I think it looks like a debs!

    Grown up non-army types wearing camouflage in public.



    It's not working - I can see you and you look like a doorknob.

    Builders with there crazy prices do a small bit of work.

    One guy quoted me 14k to remove tile and fit 2 bathrooms and I had to provided all fittings so in total maybe 22k?.

    Then I am looking at getting my removing the grass in my garden as it's only 8 square m I kid you not 1500 euros to put slabs down.

    Jeses why did I go to college for 4 years to work in computers... I should have been a builder

    Red Dwarf used to be a great show. At least up to Series 6. Series 7 & 8 were kind of poor. The reboot was worse. But now they're only advertising car breakdown services!!! What a kick in the teeth to a once-great legacy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    People who have to be centre of attention at all times

    That accent so many singers put on now. I can't articulate it other than the way "s" is pronounced "sh". But there are loads of other annoying elements. It's horrible!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that


    "Meh".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,482 ✭✭✭Gimme A Pound


    People who are horrible to customer service advisers.
