Re: Those Little Things that Annoy the Life out of You
Idiots at work who walk into my office and say " I sent you an email about XYZ"
Me: When did you send it, as I don't remember dealing with that issue
Idiot: Just now, it's on its way to your inbox.
Me: Get out.

Re: Those Little Things that Annoy the Life out of You
Just caught up with this topic - where do I start?
Any 'little' thing done for no reason (or at least no obvious reason) is liable to annoy me.
I agree with whoever said idiots who push that 'Close Doors' button in a lift, to make the doors close 0.376 secs more quickly.
And something that has always puzzled me - four of you go out for a meal, and they put you on a table set for six, then a waiter comes along and clears away the other two place settings. Why do they do that??

Ohhh, and whilst on the subject of lifts, those sub- continent fu(ckwits that stand with their nose at the door, waiting to get in when the door opens, and cant seem to realise that they cant get in until you get out, and you cant fu(k'n get out unless they move the fu(k back...

People who want something but don't ask politely. Please and thank you go a very long way.

UAE Internet Services that are not really what they seem.
Yesterday I got a letter saying that my booze license was due for renewal. There was a very nice leaflet telling me to go to Africaneastern.com and i could "Renew Online"!!! Given my total hatred of customer service in the sandpit and avoidance of same at any opportunity whatsoever, this is music to my ears :-)
I proceed to the site, fill in the online form, upload my passport, residence visa and tenancy contract and pressed go.
My goodness - what amazing service. This morning a courier comes to my office from African and Eastern; surely it can't be done that quick???
Sadly not - He gave me a HANDWRITTEN renewal form and printouts of my residence, passport and tenancy telling me to sign and then go to A&E to deposit the forms and my tax.
Seriously, you can't make this 541T up!!!!!!
