"Calls are monitored for training and quality purposes...""Your call is important to us" and "We're experiencing an unusually high volume of calls..."
Amended for you Stan :-)"Calls are monitored but not answered for training and quality purposes..."
People are their obsession with their phones on public transport get on my wick.People who put their mobile on speaker and then have a conversation with the other person, typically shouting so the person on the other end can hear them, wtf? - gits
Hahaha excellent well done! - I also hate people who cross the road whilst talking on their mobiles, the number of times I have had to slow down, beep and swear is unreal! - especially in town in the morning, I do like having a good swear though :)People are their obsession with their phones on public transport get on my wick.
If they’re not bumping into you because they’re looking at their screen and not the wider world they’re filming themselves.
There was one lad on the Met on the way to a game last year and he was filming himself smoking an e-cig, exhaling the smoke, and singing along to some line in a song. So I kept putting my hand in shot and giving it the wanker sign. He kept staring again, I kept doing it… he got off the Met!
The ignorant fuckers on hands free shouting into their phones.This is the bane of my life on public transport. In days gone by I would mutter under my breath about that awful tinny sound you used to get with ear phones. Who would have thought I'd look on those days fondly. No one use ear phones now, phones are always on loud speaker whether it is for conversations or sharing you awful taste in music with the rest of the tram.
If I see someone on the street just looking down on their phone whilst ambling along I deliberately walk straight at them. Sad but loads of fun .People are their obsession with their phones on public transport get on my wick.

TV listings that assume you know what kind of program it is.Watching on TV a real-life murder investigation. After each ad-break, the narrator spends 5 minutes repeating what was learnt from the last session.
Contrary to popular opinion dreadlocks have been common amongst Europeans since time immemorial. So, if someone accuses a white man of cultural appropriation for wearing them, they are just demonstrating their own ignorance. The idea that locks are of Caribbean origin is false. See ”nitty gritty”.White blokes with dreadlocks.
DamWorking in an electrical retail background for over 20 years people who call vacuum cleaners Hoovers.
It winds me up something rotten.
Unless you are actually buying a Hoover vacuum cleaner they should never be referred as Hoovers
Eggs still sold in sixes and dozens….er money went decimal in 1971 ffs.Our mix-and-match usage of imperial and metric system measurements bugs me.
My height, chest, waist, inside leg, shoe size, weight, distance to somewhere, speed I’m travelling, the drink I order at the pub, the burger I order from Charcoal Pit etc etc. are all taken in imperial measurements.
But the weights at the gym, bottles of Coke at the shop, and furniture from IKEA are all taken in metric.
Just fucking stick with one or the other.
I’ve never once changed my scales to KGs to see how much I weigh, so why are the weights in the gym in KGs? Makes no sense!
“I’m doing a ten ‘kay’ run soon, hoping to build up to a marathon one day”… Why is one 10km but the other 26miles? Fucking make them both km or both miles.
Round tablets that roll away.Getting tablets out of that blinking silver foil!
There are no unprecedented times. Big Bang saw to that."I'm no royalist but..."
Almost as nauseating as "in these unprecedented times".
