Charity Muggers.
Commission based Charity "sales force" (often shortened to chuggers) who stop you in the high street and give you a 3 minute guilt trip before trying to coerce you into signing a direct debit form. Its a bit rich, considering they are doing paid work and not volunteering.
The worst form of this, is when you are relaxing in the pub on Friday night. They come up to you and make you feel guilty because you can afford beer, and there are "starving Africans". I've been to Africa 4 times, have they ?.
You can read a Guardian article on how to get rid of them here.
Mobile Phones being used as "Ghetto" blasters.
Okay, if you must have a walkman screaming in your ears as you sit next to me on the train, then so be it.
The present trend (amongst teenage girls, it must be said) of setting a mobile phone, to play one song on its external speaker, in a continual loop, is just downright ill mannered.
Liam Gallagher.
Empowered with wealth and privilege most of us will never know, you might think that this buffoon, would know how to behave. Parading around the world like a yob, starting fights, he doesn't seem to realise that we are all ambassadors for something or somewhere. As a fellow Mancunian, he makes me fume.
How hard is it, to actually select good bacon in the first place, cut of the fat with scissors, cook the bacon on a grill or char grill and then put it on a quality bread roll.
Things not starting on time.
If a film is on the cinema at 2pm, why doesn't it actually start then.
Motorways are a fact of life, why do suppliers think its okay to arrive at 10:30 - 11 am, with the excuse that the M6 was "busy". Get out of bed earlier.
Reality television.
I have no problem with a load of irritating attention seekers, all pilling into a house together, my only annoyance, is that they are allowed out at the end (I preferred the Dr Who version, where they were incinerated).
Poor customer service.
Train ticket collectors, if you are sick of working with the general public and hate your job, why don't you get another one. If you cant get another one, why don't you ask yourself why ?.
Banks.
If I accidentally break your window, pay for the window, and give you £30 for your inconvenience, would you say that was fair ?. I would. If I go overdrawn by a pound, the banks feel they have also been inconvenienced to the tune of £30. I disagree !.
Taking 4 days to clear a cheque was perfectly okay, when somebody had to ride on a horse to London and back, to process the transaction.
