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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

This drives me insane.. They ask you a question about yourself and as soon as you start to answer they butt in and talk about themselves.. ass*oles.

People who go into detail telling you about their holidays or worse they start showing you photos, Im can't even feign interest in them at this stage, painful.

snowgal · 02-07-2019 12:54am

Something not hugely important but enough that the last 3 days Comes into my mind to search on google then I get distracted and forget about it and now of course when I’m trying to think what it is I don’t have a clue. Head wreck.

Theyre only asking you so they can talk more about themselves. Drives me mad.

This. I’m not sure we mean the same thing, but I’m constantly trying to point out this accent that (especially male) singers are doing now but can’t articulate my point.

This post makes me think of
“bring it back,

shing it back to me”

Oh , and things I don’t put on the shopping list as it’s so important that I tell myself I won’t forget it. Then I end up going around the whole store , bags and kids in tow trying to remember what it was. Only to remember when I get home

I had a guy in work once spend about 40 minutes showing me photos of himself on tour with the army in the Antartic. Which sounds pretty cool until you realise it's just endless photos of snow. With some rocks. And a few penguins. For 40 minutes. I ran out of superlatives.

My TA today is a guy sending me the same email 3 times. At 9:50,9:56 and 9:59. There is no ****ing need. FFS lad I'm in the process of replying to the first one, gimme a chance!

Yes, It's really annoying when drivers drive in the overtaking lane when they aren't overtaking anyone. Really annoying!

4 days I took a bus to the closest grocery store to buy something unusual but vital for my whimsical receipies.

Each day I walked around looking at each shelves and asking myself at the till, 'was there anything else I needed', still arrived back without it.
Put it on the shopping list and forgot to consult the list!!!!

My son is a loud eater. When he was a child I tried my best to teach him that it was bad-mannered, inappropriate, unnecessary and above all that it drove me insane.

I failed miserably

He's now in his mid 20s and still inflicts this on me. Whenever I call him out over it, he says "Jesus, don't worry, I don't eat like this when I'm out" :mad::mad::mad::mad:

(I feel guilty posting this, as apart from this massively non-trivial annoying habit, he's a brilliant bloke.)

When you meet somebody who's really into cycling/running and they love it.(Which is fine) however they can't understand why you may not enjoy there past time and they keep on trying to sell it you.

The pronouncing "s" as "sh" has been around a long time - irritating as ever, but now there's this new stuff being added to it, creating a ludicrous sounding yoke. Presume it's an industry thing.

I prefer auto tune!

Oh god yes. They never seem to just "do the lotto" - they always have to do all this other stuff. Different types of cards, and then there's always a card they want which isn't there, and the sales assistant has to go looking for it, etc.
