Annoying Box

Bank ATMs - 'Hole in the wall' machines that give you the option of getting a printed account statement, then spit out a blank slip of paper because someone forgot to fill the "inkwell".

Fashion/Trends - The old lady in the shop for the disabled, who they havve employed on the strength of her twin-set and pearls and who they think will suit "disabled people, who says: "They/It only comes in one colour and produce a colour that you would not wish on the worst enemy. And then proceed to make you feel that "You" are being difficult! Oh and thats not VAT free!

Worse still. The choice? of shoes for some disabled. Who have no choice! They look like they have come out of the Ark! And you want to scream at them :"Would you wear them. They're for plonkers. I wouldn't be seen dead in them." The presumption that beccause you are disabled you havve to put up with anything! NO. NO. NO.

Purveyors and agents of the suppliers of goods/services, who after an enquiry, ring you up four times in twenty-four hours extolling the virtues of their particular offerings, at vastly inflated prices for something you have got to have but don't really want. a necessity. Just when You've got to sleep!

Those god awful voluminous rain capes that come in "one" colour. Wow! What a fashion statement we all want to share on a ttypical wet British morning. I'm trying to design an enormous souwester that at least people are noticing for all the right reasons and not because this body is swathed in an enormous nylon monstrosity! You can tell it is a wet, rainy typical English Bank holiday today and I'm stir crazy!

Me !!!

I origionally posted something different here, found it unkind and retracted it. So the annoying thing is people like me, who want to express themselves but sometimes lose sight of a bigger picture.

Vodaphone in the box it goes, I now have to sit on my garage roof to make a call, they refuse to do anything about it, still send me monthly bills and debit my account, I wonder if I will get fruit and flowers if I fall off the roof. Vodaphone who recruit it's staff from the agency Rent A Brain, keep you waiting over an hour to speak to someone,then say nothing can be done, tough luck on me. :evil:

Investigate Virgin. I've "only" got their landline and broadband services, (very good!) but the young gent who installed my 'system' told me that the 'Company' (now owned by an American 'parent') is investing billions to try and win us all over to them. Infrastructure, not just advertising. As I say, investigate. Nothing to lose. Oh, and I'm annoyed by green carpet slippers, but can't really justify that...

I wear Sketchers shoes that are easy to put on and also Rocket Dog shoes that are also easy to put on and they are both comfortable and fashionable. Take a look at them. I wear ones that have a Velcro buckle but there are different styles.

I hate Virgin they messed me about for months after the box broke down and told me I must have broken it and they would charge me even before they had looked at it. We had never touched the box it just went off. The customer service woman was rude and upset me so we moved to sky.

I'm annoyed at my husband! He has now been off work for 8 weeks due to no work at his factory. This includes our fortnight holiday. He manages to sleep in till 10am and when he's awake he is bored and drives me up the wall. I hope he will be back at work Monday and have our house back to myself and the rugrats. Fingers crossed!!
