Several people at work have had their cars damaged by customers shoving trollies into empty spaces (where they roll into staff cars) and walking off because they can't be arsed to put them back properly. Proper p1sses me off because somebody will always have to do a tidy of the car park and more often than not, most of the trollies are down the other end in a big mess. It's only a small car park and no effort at all to take a trolley back but the lazy b@stards can't be bothered :evil:

I'm quite OCD about making sure I swing the car in so I'm well in the space and parked squarely. If I can't do it first time then I reposition myself and do it properly. A lot of other people aren't bothered it seems.

Those lovely people who think it's funny to take the piss out of a recovering cancer patient.

Someone I know is finished with the chemotherapy, and her hair's started growing back. She went out last night without a bandana for the first time in over a year, and the short haircut combined with the increased build (due to the steroids) meant that these dickheads kept calling her "man of the match" and "bulldyke" until she left the pub.

I wasn't there at the time, but how scummy can you get?

Wanting an ipad 3, my annual trip to ayia napa, to replace my garden shed and to lanscape/deck my back garden and having no chance of doing any of that anytime soon.

Did I mention wanting to move to a bigger house?

That's absoluely appalling :evil: :evil: :evil: Cancer's an awful thing for anybody to have to cope with, my mum's getting treatment for it at the moment and I'm seeing first hand how it's completely knocked her confidence. I hope none of those w@nkers ever have to go through it, I honestly wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Grrr, that makes me mad.

The company that has my domain name
"melborneit"
They are probably one of the worst ever, quite why Mircosoft decided to pass it onto them is beyond me. I have waited a week to gain access to it and nothing.
Only good thing it they have a twitter help desk.

When they respond to messages
As soon as I gain access to it im taking it to somewhere else

Credit card companies who twice tell you on the phone what ID they will accept, then twice send it back saying they won't accept it. Then again, this wouldn't be a problem if my home phone company provided paper statements.

Also, my Wii has been off for repair for nearly a month. Initially I was impressed how they would keep you updated by text, but they soon dried up. Now it's "awaiting parts" and they can't give a date when it will be fixed.

Funny how your list of gear-grinders dramatically increases once you become a motorist :lol: . I enjoy driving in general but loads of things get on my nerves. A few from today come to mind actually...

- Going straight on at a roundabout, was in the outside lane as you should be but a car on the inside lane suddenly cut in front of me to go straight on :evil: . This happens all the time but it's f*****g annoying.

- A car roaring out of a side road to get in front of me then driving really slowly :roll: . Really? You take a risk to cut out into oncoming traffic then follow it up by driving painfully slowly?

- The state of the roads in general. Feels like I'm going off-road with all the huge potholes, sunken in drains and constant speed bumps. Can't be good for the suspension.

Honestly, being able to drive is one of the best things ever but it comes with it's fair share of grievances :lol:
