Having the Ting Tings "That's Not My Name" stuck in my head for the last two days. It just keeps going round and round and won't stop. "They call me Sta-cey! They call me Jane! That's not my name! That's not my name! That's not my name! That's not my...." Arrgh!!!

1. People who can't use cashlines. You put in 4 numbers and then choose how much money you want. It's fucking simple. Why then does it take you 5 fucking minutes while you stare at the screen like Dustin Hoffman in rainmain while I get hypothermia in the freezing rain. 2. People who are unaware how to walk in public. They should have a motorway style lane system in pedestrianised city center's. Either walk at a human adult pace or GET OUT THE FUCKING WAY! 3. People who are unable to use ticket machines in train stations. Basically see 1. but substitute hypothermia for me missing my train. 4. That wanker that owns Little Chef.

Superb rant. Point Two is rife in Bristol, I'll add 'walking in a straight line'. If you're gonna shove past me on the crossing outside Temple Meads, you'd better keep up pace or I'm after your ankles.
Point Three is also rife, but at ticket barriers as opposed to machines. Let's wait until we're there before we mooch around for the ticket. Move aside? No, unheard of. And when they get through, stop immediately on the other side of said barrier to faff about, causing a human pile up behind you. Next person that does that is going to be thrown in front of the 1800 to Birmingham New Street.
Another: waking up to the alarm yesterday and being met (again) by an overwhelming smell of cat shit. Check litter tray, no. Spend twenty minutes searching the house, last week and yesterday, for rogue cat shit. Wake up slightly before alarm this morning only to hear my cat give off the biggest 'what the fuck was that' fart in living history, upon said alarm going off.
Still, I have solved that mystery.

there's a woman who gets on the same bus as me in the morning. she always gets there just before it arrives and pushes in then she stands there, gets her purse out and arses around trying to find the correct change which she never has, then proceeds to have a five minute conversation with the driver about it
she might go under the bus one day

I find it more exciting not knowing if you've got money in or not - it's like a lottery win if the fucking thing gives you money then. It's also less depressing if you realise how little money you have and just spend money you don't really have in a blissfully unaware state. Also, at the risk of sounding like Nick Griffin, I'm also beginning to get a little intolerant of people calling call centres who can't speak English and then ask you a question that you answered ten minutes ago. And then proceed to either 'have a think about it' or 'ask the wife/husband'. DO YOU NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE ONE DECISION YOURSELF THAT WILL MEAN YOU SPENDING £20 YOU MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING? As you were.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the all-too-popular football thread on here at the minute. But to each his/her own I s'pose.

The FSA Handbook. Specifically 'deciphering it'. More specifically 'deciphering it when it isnt my job'.

You people seriously need to loosen up.
May I add: HM Revenue & Customs?
The Government's way of waging war on their own people

You people seriously need to loosen up. it's a Things We Hate thread - loosening up goes in the Things We Love thread Today my vote mainly goes to ex-es who mess with your mind (or the minds of your friends)

People who ask questions about what's going to happen while watching a film, and also need to vocalise every thought they have in their head! "Oh! He's gay!" "oh, he's not gay" "he's going to fall in love with her" "why do they wear all the scary make up?" "so is he gay then?" "Oh, she's twigged" "Nazis breathe from their stomachs too. It's really strange." "Oh! It's so sad! Just get out of there and get married!" "ouch. ouch. That has to hurt, that has got to hurt" AAAAARGH! Can you guess which film it was?
