Left over champagne? well excuse me:D

Yeah, my birthday is close to Christmas and we usually stock up when the offers are on champagne. I do like my fizzy bubbles so there's usually some lying around at this time of year. Not like it's Dom Perignon or anything, getting a 2004 bottle of that for our 10th wedding anniversary though, well, it is the year we got married, it'd be rude not to:D

Left the car in a while back to get the alternator belt changed. Small job and I thought it would be 60-80€. My drop literally dropped to the fcuking floor when I got the bill a few weeks later for 3 hundred and fifty ****ing euro!
The car is barely worth 3 hundred and fifty ****ing euro so why the fcuk would I spend that on a minor repair.

Needless to say I rang up to give him a piece of my fcuking mind. No way would I have paid 3 hundred and fifty fcuking euro had I known it would cost 3 hundred and fifty fcuking euro before he started. This was Wednesday and I'm still fcuking furious.

Did you not ask how much it would cost first? I don't see how the mechanic was at fault here.

I get your point but all he was going to do was change the belt as it was worn which was what we had agreed but he saw what was causing the wear and changed other pieces too so 60-70quid became 350 quid.

That's when you call the person and tell them it's going to be more than expected especially when the car is barely worth more than the cost of fixing it.

I couldn't care less about slight grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes but for some reason I hate when people spell 'craic' as 'crack'

Fair enough. That would annoy me as well.

That reminds me... when people write "should of", "could of", "would of" - it annoys me way more than it should. It drives me insane! :eek:

It did more than annoy me, it made me very fcuking mad.

People writing 'lol' drives me fcuking mad, but what's even worse is when they SAY it!

Going to the checkout in the supermarket and seeing a couple of schoolkids at every single one collecting for some vaguely worded 'charity'. At least be upfront about what you're collecting for and leave some checkouts packer free. That way if a customer is happy to donate to a boy scouts' trip to France or for a gang of transition year students to go on a personal development type initiative to the third world they can do so. People who can't afford to, or just don't consider those causes to be the type of thing they're willing to contribute to can not do so without feeling pressurised or embarassed.

Loud Camp Queens!

****ing hate them around me, you know the sort, taking every opportunity to make a Double entendre, laughing loudly, dressing loudly, being a "Bitch" because "it's ok, I'm a Queen!"
Hanging out with the girls that he calls his "Fag Hags"
For some reason speaks with that ridiculous camp accent (Think Shirley Temple Bar)
Thinks that by being gay, he is also automatically hilarious..
He devotes his whole life to the fact that he is gay and he wants you, me and everyone around him to know it.

I hate these people because their whole persona, their life and their friendships are so hollow and staged.

Left the car in a while back...

Don't talk to me about furkan cars. My own jalopy is in the shop having it's clutch rebuilt, amongst a few odds-and-ends, and that's taking a week or more because the wind keeps turning the ship around that's bringing in the parts. Or something. It could be the wrong kind of sleet on computerised points at Didcot, I can't remember. So, I've been driving herself's car for a few days, and the exhaust just came free forward of the middle-box, just right where it means it can't be driven. So I finally managed to get it shifted to the garage about a mile away.

On the plus side, this happened about three hundred yards from me mate's place, who gave me his 1989 Mercedes-Benz 230E to trundle about in for a few days. Yay!!

The only thing worse than that is when you do something wrong in a dream and get punished for it in real life wtf.

Collected flowers today from the florists and in the 5 minute walk to the car I was asked by 4 middle aged women "Are those for me!?" followed by a smile that you'd give a 5 year old for doing well in a spelling test. I'm 26, would ya ever f*ck off.

"Oh, you shouldn't have"

People saying "how do i get through to customer service, all i keep getting is stupid options" Eh how about listening to the fcuking options instead of whinging about it

The original word is crack - it's from old / middle English. The Irish spelling was introduced fairly recently to distinguish it from the drug and was then brought back into English.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craic

I know wikipedia isn't exactly a great source but I heard the truth of this from English professor Terry Dolan.

Trivial annoyance: The unstoppable urge to correct people.

How about putting people through to customer service first and listen to the customer to decide how best to direct their call?

Automated customer "service" call centres. I don't want to spend five seconds listening to options, let alone five minutes, and then have to hang up and dial again because I can't remember which number was for which option. There are some companies that list as many as NINE options, and then...

"You are [37] in a queue, please continue to hold"...

Contracts have been won and lost based on how much a company values their customers business.

Ellie Goulding
Pixie Lott
Paloma Faith
Emeli Sande
Jessie J
Katy B

These completely vapid female British singers who are entirely devoid of personality and character, yet are constantly in the charts for reasons I for the life of me would never be able to figure out.

Not one on that list is devoid of character or personality, they're just not to your taste is all.

Different strokes for different folks and all that, but Pixie Lott deserves special exception for being an absolutely cracking looking girl as well as having a fine set of lungs on her!

Chart music is for teenagers, it's all money, not quality
