minor things that make you fume

Just endured a nine hour flight with British Airways. A chap two rows in front of me and across the aisle took his shoes and socks off straight after boarding and proceeded to remain barefoot for the entire flight.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

People listing things as free on Facebook marketplace, but when you click on it they want money. Even more annoying is when you click on it and it says "make me an offer"! No. Ask for what you want for it you douchebag.

On a similar theme, What really annoys me is 'Salvage Hunters' or 'Antique Road Trip' type programmes. It's always the same when a dealer finds something they want to buy from an antiques shop.
Dealer "How much"
Shop owner "That's £350"
Dealer "What's the best you can do on it?"
Shop owner " The very best I could do is £270"
I would be tempted to say "Shove it mate. If you can still make a profit at £270 why were you trying to rip me off for £350"

People who message a full sentence in bits. It is like a messaging version of somebody going, erm.....you know what......so, there is this thing.....erm..... over there.............erm.........erm........erm......you see I want to ask a question......erm.....erm....

Just write everything in one go and then I can read everything in one go, it is not a difficult thing to do. Instead, you get beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep just to say 'Hi, how are you doing? Do you want me to bring round some food?

I once went on a course. 3 weeks residential (including week-ends). Started at 8.30am finished between 7.00pm and midnight, each day. (1970's). Finished evening meal and back into lecture rooms. Pleased I'm retired now!

They must have a price in mind but are hoping someone will offer more. Then they take offence when you low ball them.

I would say in my experience, that 80-90% of in house training courses are largely a complete waste of time. This one today was nearly 2 hours about how to talk to clients ffs. Luckily they didn’t try any role play stuff.

Hermes knocked on our door the other day. Genuinely sounded like the bizzies doing a drug bust trying to gain entry.

Guarantee that driver gets loads of complaints claiming he/she didn't knock. Usually by some nobhead who was hoovering the back bedroom while wearing headphones while the driver knocked several times, rang the bell, looked through every window, tried the back gate and 5 neighbours.

I've done delivery in the past :rant:

lol

Internal courses are absolute gash. Patronising trainers who think they know more about your job than you do and try-hard bells spouting nonsense for no reason. Garbage lunches and even if they're decent you still end up chatting to some absolute whopper who's being annoying you all morning.

Enjoyed that rant.
