Agree with all thats been said already but have to add, when you've had a really crap day and someone says "cheer up, it might never happen"
I always feel like smacking em, now that would cheer me up!!

Dirty old men who talk to my clevage rather than at me
They don't run round me twice.
I had to think long and hard what really bugs me.
It has to be buck passing.
If you have mucked something up, just say sorry. Don't say you are not to blame and someone else is responsible.
Don't scout around looking for someone else to blame.
Everyone makes mistakes, own up to it.
Otherwise I think you're incompetent, which really, really bugs me.

My rant about sponging chavs earlier has inspired this one. Our local sponging "how many kids can i pop out" chav and her even chavvier boyfriend are having friends round these evening. Whats the problem I hear you cry? Well they're all bloody druggies and at around 4am this morning they will all be out in the cul-de-sac started cars up and revving them or dancing in the street shouting and screaming.
We can no longer sleep with our windows open at the weekends now because of it. And it also makes them leave the dogs out pretty much all night which in turn makes them bark and cry.
I'm tired today and i've already said to Rich that if it happens tonight i'll be tempted to call the police as it is disruptive and because they're all drugged up there's no reasoning so even if you ask to keep the noise down it won't happen.
Grrrrr, feeling the rage!

you either get press 1 to 6 for options, which then goes on to more options, followed by music & someone saying how important your cal is..........bla, bla, bla
Then it gets worse as some are now voice activated where you have to speak to a machine and it never understands me - sorry if I'm a scouser & can't speak like a robot - I end up shouting down the phone to the reply of "I'm sorry please repeat" I usually swear at that point!
If you are lucky enough to get through to a real person,I'm sorry but most of the time they can only answer questions from a sheet & are really thrown if you ask them something random as they don't speak the lingo.

Credit card companies - phoning me up (the temerity!) to sell me more sh*t, but before they can, say: "can we just take you through security?"
Er, no....... eff off!
Cheery fr*gging people who say "never mind, it could be worse". Oh yeah? Well it could be fr*gging better too, pal!
People who make mistakes and then say "well, I got it all right except for..... " and then name some minutia that they DID get right. If you didn't get the ENTIRE THING right, then you GOT IT WRONG - you're stupid and inefficient - live with it!
