Stupid little things that bug you

[East Level 2]

So the increased prices for replacement parts made your premium go down?

Interesting.

They didn't offer an explanation, just waffled on about all the things considered when the computer generates the price. Being an FOC with a full no claims helps, but that was the same last year.

When you are on the phone an somebody comes to talk/interrupt you. Like unless it is emergency an your head is falling off fuck off. Had it happen twice, one bloke knock on the office can clearly see I'm on the phone, no fuck I'll come in an talk at you. Another one some bloke just interrupted my conversation to ask for directions.

All those sales calls are shit.. My worst experience was when I first consulted the NHS about going deaf. The next week I got a tsunami of phone calls from hearing aid salesmen. I complained to the NHS who said it was impossible to trace who was breaking patient confidentiality.

Fortunately you couldn't hear the phone ringing, otherwise that would have been terrible for you. ;-)

My insurance went down, but when I phoned to check I was getting the same level of cover, the automatic answer bullshit was going on about increased premiums due to higher prices for replacement parts.

My neighbour had his parked car damaged when side-swiped by driver trying to avoid a pot hole. Just a large dent to the door and wing. Insurance company wrote it off and paid him £4800. The owner bought the car back off the insurance company for £200 and then paid £950 to have the car straightened. He now has the car legally back on the road and <>£3500 towards a holiday.

People who stand gassing to other people they know, having bumped into them in supermarket foyers. Take your conversations about holidays, weather, ailments etc elsewhere. Inconsiderate fuckwits. Also goes for people putting up umbrellas, or deciding to put a coat on at the door. Get out of the fucking way!!!

Tarry shits.

Bastard things are impossible to clean up no matter how many rounds with the bog roll you go.

I usually surrender after the 3rd attempt.

Arse wipes from Lidl (other supermarkets are available) are a nice addition to the bathroom for these moments.

The wife's make up wipes make a great emergency option!

Having to rate everything.
From toilet cleanliness, through phone calls to room rentals
Just a waste of everbody's time.

I now get texted "How did we do?" questionnaires from my local surgery, even when I've just had a standard vaccination or a blood test.

Add to this people who smoke stood in the doorway of a pub/bar as if they're gatekeeper for who can go in.

Guarding the door while you smoke so anyone going in/out has to walk through your nicotine cloud, tutting at them because you have to move to let them past.......nob heads.

People in cars stupidly over exaggerating by singing and dancing how much they’re enjoying their music hoping people will look at them and be amazed by their wackiness

You’d love The London Underground then! Tourists like to congregate at the top, blocking everyone’s way, or Oxford street 4 abrest walking 2 miles an hour

Car insurance
Quote my renewal at £424, kin hell that's alot so look around and get deal for £224.
So I phone to tell them I won't be renewing and the reason. They come back and say they can match that price lol.
I just laughed and said if you had quoted me that in the first place I wouldn't be moving lol.
I've already paid the other company so please do not renew mine or take my money out of my account in March.

That's happened to me every year for the last few years. I get quoted a decent price but 12 months later the renewal price is through the roof. So I get another decent price elsewhere and am told by the original insurer they could have reduced their renewal price if I'd contacted them first. And so on every year.

It's odds on your new insurers will whack up their renewal price next year.

Annoys me too.
Right now, I am reading about the GovPlus software on their PissedConsumer page https://govplus.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, and honestly, I’m a bit put off by the fact that they require users to leave a review at the end of using the service. While it’s understandable that companies want feedback, it feels a little forced to me, especially when everything is working well. I’d much rather leave a review on my own terms when I feel it’s necessary, instead of feeling pressured to provide one just for completing the process. So far, everything is running smoothly with the software, and it seems to do its job

That's a really good post.
On a scale of one to ten, one being a poor post, ten being an exceptional post, I'd say it was an eight.
