Conversely it's annoying to be queueing up at a till, get to the front, then a phone rings next to the cashier and they proceed to totally ignore you while they deal with whoever is on the phone.

Doubly so if it's at a train station and they've printed your ticket and phone rings while they're getting your change... Triply so if the train arrives, stops and leaves before they get round to giving you your ticket and change.

Fucking 0870 numbers.

Seriously.

Whatever cunt at BT thought it was a good idea to let companies have a special kind of number that charges the customer 10p/min to ring it (or more if you do it from a mobile) and then hands over revenue to the callee, but isn't premium rate and doesn't have to be declared as such, should be dragged out into the street and shot.

Repeatedly. Through the FACE.

People with widescreen televisions who insist on stretching all content to fill the screen, thus buggering up the aspect ratio on $bignum percent of it.

And yet they WHINE LIKE FUCKERS when you fix it.

"errrrr, I don't like those black bits, make them go away"

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!

Having to get up at 6am just so there is enough time to arrive at work for 8am. I have two choices in this - set off at 6:45 and drive the 16 miles along 30mph roads though people's villages, or set off at 6am and drive the 16 miles up the M62 doing an average of 0MPH.

Teleportation needed.

Oh, and not being able to go to sleep at a sensible time as I am programmed to not become tired until midnight. Stupid body, learn damnit! Lying down with eyes shut means sleep time...

Surely the M62 isn't that bad at 6:00? It is carnage later morning though...

Rush hour does suck. Leave for work at 7:30, in the car park by 7:50 - Leave for work at 8:30, in the car park by 9:15 on a good day. Fucking school run traffic.

i hate the way how when i percieve someone as having wronged me in some way (often inconsequential), my mind sometimes rages on by itself - sometimes on and off for days! - about how that person is a cunt, and thinks up ways to get them back..... when really that's a pointless waste of energy. eventually i remember to not care, and then all is well again for awhile.

In mirrored letters, mind.

My theory is that people like to watch fat people on TV to feel less fat themselves

I hate when you've bought a Â£140 train ticket online, carefully written down the reference number and taken the reciept with you, and then you get to the station with a good 20 minutes to spare AND THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF booking online and they don't know what your reference number is about and you actually need a booking number but it's not on the printout, so you phone the helpline number from your mobile and it's bloody india isn't it, and it's a noisy echo-y waiting room but you can't go outside because you'll never get back near the desk, and you've got to repeat all the fricking details over the phone 3 times because they don't really speak english and a then bloody kid in the queue starts piping up with "RA RA RA RA RAAA" at the top of its voice, and you just want to drag it outside and throw it onto the tracks, but the best you can manage is a scowl in its general direction, and finally you manage to relay the relevant number to the patient desk operative and they start printing out your ticket and the bloody train ARRIVES AT THE STATION and it's on the other platform...
