What really annoys you?

Basically i am a very frustrated person striving to get through each day without punching at least one other person in the face for rudeness, inconsideration or just stupidity.

The way i get through each day now is to complain about lots of things, so in order these are the things that really grind my gears...

1) HSBC 'bank'. If uselessness was an olympic event they would be undisputed champions, knocking one of the three stooges off the podium. £11bn profit last year and they can't even get a new cheque book to me within a week, 8 days so far and i have to wait 2 more at least. The call centres are based in India and they have no clue, there are 3 branches in the whole of Scotland and none within an hour of me - there were 2 in the town i went to in Egypt for ********s sake!!

2) The general public. This kind of '******** you' attitude that a lot of them here have, stop right infront of you, block the pavement so you can't pass them, nobody says thank you when you hold a door open for them anymore either.

3) Old people doing their weekly shopping during the lunch hour. Urgh, so slow... coupons, counting out change.

4) Call centres/helplines. The term 'help' is misused. I find them no help whatsoever and i'm charged £1 a minute for the privelage. On several occasions i've managed to have the call refunded because they have been so rubbish. One PC helpline suggested formatting my hard drive because they couldn't fix the problem. Yeah, thanks.

5) People who let you down. A recent example; we've been having some problems at home - the result was a meeting to be called, the other party wanted it yesterday. I rushed around to get everyone's opinion and grievances to deal with it, and they cancel at the last minute.

6) People who wake up extra early and let everyone else know about it. Slamming doors, music on loud, stomping around the house. Just. Shut. Up.

7) People who don't clean up after themselves. Especially after making/eating dinner, it's not cool to have to go clear up other people's stuff just so you can make your own dinner. Would you leave a turd in the toilet and expect someone else to flush it?

- Obviously lots of these are because i live in a shared house at the moment. HSBC are just twats.
