Airline companies that refuse to admit that they screwed up and then make you jump through hoops to get your lost stuff found. Evil or Very Mad

...oh, and people who have issues with proper nouns that start with the letter 'U'. Laughing

My wife, grabbing the bedclothes and then turning over, taking them away from me, spend the rest of the night having a tug of war to get them back. Ahhhhh

Coming back from a trip and having lost several things. (Gloves- They are somewhere in an Manga/Internet Café in Shibuya, Tokyo somewhere and they were very nice ones too! Mad

Other examples: expensive electronics, clothing (shirts, pants, shoes, socks, etc), personal items, irreplaceable items, etc).

Sounds like you were on one of my Rugby tours in the 1980's Very Happy

Peeve: Supermarket staff who ask 'Would you like help packing that Sir' when you have only 5 items.

When I have been called to perform a job that I am the expert on. The customer then proceeds to tell me that I am doing it wrong.

The end result is a perfect finish doing it as I see best.

I often wonder why they were not able to do the task themselves.
Sometimes I see the remnants of their poor attempts.

Two major pet peeves of mine happen at Supermarkets.

1. A person uses 2 parking spaces (usually a 4WD or BMW/Audi owner) when they should correct their driving up and use 1 parking space.

2. People who have been shopping and after they have emptied it at their car, they leave their ruddy trolley Mugu Reseller

in a car parking space or somewhere other than the place they picked it up originally.

:banghead:

People who park in Handicap Spaces and have no special tag (license) or tag that hangs on the mirror). In some places here it is between a $200 and $500 fine.

They have also discovered that some people are making the handicap window tags and selling them to people who are not handicapped. Well, you knew that would happen.

Has anyone yet mentioned people who recline their seats on a daytime short-haul flight in economy class?

They should all die. Bastards.

^^ Some people with back problems find that position comfortable. I cannot sit in the totally UP position of the airline seats. I guess I will just be a bastard and die. Wink

Just ask to swop seats and see if you can get the 'Domino Effect' going.
Fun for all Very Happy

That's beautiful. I've never gotten political ones, though. They're always car dealerships, insurance companies or something in another language.

There's something that's worse than robocalls, though, and that's predictive dialing.

Quote:

Most telemarketing call centers use computerized automatic dialers, otherwise known as "predictive dialers" or "lead generators." These devices can dial hundreds, if not thousands, of calls per hour from a single center. If the computer detects a live person on the telephone, it summons the next available operator to break into the call. The delay you hear, when it sounds as if no one is there, is the time it takes for the operator to get on the line after you or your answering device has picked up the phone. Also, some companies do nothing but troll sequential lists of telephone numbers, just to document whether a "live" voice answers, then documents any successful connections along with the time, to sell to telemarketing firms or to follow up with sales calls.

Now that is my number one pet peeve.
