    Have you sent away for the poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,314 ✭✭✭caustic 1


    Must be welding the poll.

    Sir, please calm down or we'll have to call security.

    Ahh, it's cheered me up to see that most of you are as just a little bit totally fcuked off at the moment, just like me:)

    I need some pole. That's my level of frustration! Where's my pole option, huh?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    And your colours are the same!

    Nice to see pollsters making an effort.

    Relax. You will shortly be inundated with offers of pole via PM.

    After all that buildup, I'm sorry to say I find your poll of no use to me as not one if the options, as described, would get to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭czechlin


    And your colours are the same!

    They are, that's one for the trivial annoyance thread!! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,374 ✭✭✭Hotale.com


    To be honest 1 and 2 annoy me more than the rest of them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭Mena


    Thread disappoints it's the buildup that killed it.

    Plus, where's the 'happy out' option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,190 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    101-115%: Living things are thrown against the walls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    I'm bordering on officially frustrated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,790 ✭✭✭maguic24


    Wow, how come I didn't see this thread 2 hours ago when I was about to punch the wall? I already said this in trivial things that annoy but it's not even trivial.

    Pissed off and frustrated with my consultant, the b*stard. So he rang me this evening and said this :

    'Oh yeah, so you have a problem...which is getting worse but you already knew that. We could, ya know, sort it, but we'll leave you for another 6 months in the hope that ignoring said problem will make it go away'.

    Are you for f*cking real? What sort of pr*ck do you think I am?

    Just for the record, I told him to go and sh*te (I said it a bit more politely than that. ). He'll be sorting it or else, the b*stard and he'll be doing it this month!! I think I'm his favourite patient. :pac:

    Frustration levels: Through the roof! I'm currently shining up my knuckle dusters. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Arrggghhhhhhh. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I thought a frustrometer would measure my frustration, not require an input to record it for your statistical analysis.

    Irksome OP. Very irksome.

    But of course, they ALL have lovely polls.

    Trying to find a job is bringing my stress levels to infinity. No matter how many times I go over my CV, or how much time I spend trying to write the perfect cover letter, being completely ignored or treated as worthless by recruiters and employers gets very, very tiring. Spending 5 years on getting a BSc and MSc was evidently a waste of time. :rolleyes:

    And right now my laptop is being slow and refusing to load a page. Frustration tending to infinity + 1.

    I blame you OP. You and that pesky poll of yours. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 847 ✭✭✭Bog Standard User


    110% EXTREME FRUSTRATION - having to deal with customers with little or no it skills on the phone (where is the any key?)
