The 'Things That Piss Me Off' Thread

Adverts where they repeat what they've just said, as if the person watching the advert just questioned whether such a deal is true. I very much anyone has watched it and said "£10?! Really?!" "YES! £10!!!".

Tim Lovejoy in general. He must be really skint though, the William Hill advert has him betting on every single thing that can happen during a football match. Very annoying advert, but then most betting adverts are annoying.

Me too :LOL:. Danger must be our middle names.

How fast were you going Dags?

Only around 40-50 mph, but I guess with it being the morning, not many people had driven down the road and especially the right hand lane so the icy patches hadn't melted away.
 
Snow.

Now I've got to walk a couple of miles or so before I can get on a bus to town tomorrow morning as they're all getting diverted.
 
My work being arseholes about me being snowed in. They're saying that I either have to take days as holiday days, or make up the time. Pricks.

That's come right from the top, directors etc. My regional team leader is is pissed off with them too, and he's said to me that tomorrow I just have to walk to my local Co-op, give the tills and computers a quick clean, then go back home and he'll put it down that I've worked for the whole day.

Oh, and we have 12 inches of snow already, and getting another 10 inches in the next 24 hours.....

You have a company car right? Do a Dags, that should get the directors thinking. ;)
 
You know what, I had the exact same thought myself. Go out, do a little crash into a small wall or something, then say right, it's your problem now.
 
This is getting creepy Tim, ever since my coming out with SexandtheCity we seem to be thinking the same things. :(

Gonna have to spend less time watching those homo comedies as I'm started to get infected. Before you know it I'll be buying pink shoes next!



:D
 
If it's a company car and you don't seriously damage the car, they'll still expect you to use it and just take it to a garage sometime. Otherwise they'll give you a loan car while it's being serviced, or just expect you to walk or use public transport to get to jobs.

Nice thinking though :LOL:

Just found out that one of the front tires is actually wrecked and the alloy has bent, deflating the tire. One of the back tires is damaged too.

Got RAC coming out to look at it, luckily it's a company car though because I wouldn't be able to afford two wheels and to get the tracking sorted.

I slid my car into a curb which stopped me going into the wall but i think it has done some damage as the car is pulling to the left quite badly. it is my own car unfortunately and i am currently in the middle of moving house (bought a new one) so the car will be the last thing to be looked at. still using it to get to work

Come to think of it now, my alloy might be screwed or something worse, hopefully just the tracking

Didn't half make a bang when i went over the curb

Yeah, I need to get my tracking done. I took it to National Tires to get them to replace the tire (turns out the wheel wasn't that bad at all) and they wanted to do the tracking as well but the fleet company said no and that I had to take it to ATS :BRICK:

Just going to go to the Vauxhall garage tomorrow I think, one of my brake lights has been out for a while and the electrics are dodgy in that my radio still stays on when I turn the engine off and take my key out.
 
That's the only way to turn it off. Normally it's supposed to turn off when the key is taken out. Only a minor thing but still worth getting fixed, never a good thing to have faulty electrics in something like a car.
 
Going to see the specialist and having to wait 80 min's to have a 3 min meeting where he barely looks at my hand and says come back in two months for some more x-rays!...!
Before I go in they sent me to have my cast off which is odd as I've had surgery since having that removed ages ago, the nurse goes "right I'm just going to remove your er.. where is your cast"? Apparently there is no record of me ever having my cast off, which begs the question, 'how did I have surgery on the thing with it on' Doh'...
 
I needed an op to remove the crap from my ruptured disk and got sent to the wrong specialist who spent ages checking me over to then say, yes you need and op, but it isn't us! Then had to go back on a waiting list which took another 4 months until I could get sorted!

Are you sure you had the correct surgery?! I'd check, before you know it you will have an ear growing out of your hand!

The Wii and people who play it generally piss me off.

Joke of a console.
Click to expand...

I play it.

Microsoft and Sony don't seem to think it was a joke, as they have both just released peripherals for their consoles to play games based on what the Wii does.

The Wii is fun if there are a few of you around, nothing wrong with it.
 
I have a Wii! But I don't play it...

It's ok with a group, but your still just faffing about with mostly mediocre games. The only game I'ver really played on it is Mariokart (online). And it says enough about the output and quality of games when you see TV ads for that game this xmas! I have one pointless partygame/console so I will defitely not be buying Kinect or Move.
