Brilliant!!

It's time to let it all out.....

Taxi drivers (or in fact any motorist) who pull up to collect someone and then use the car horn rather than those things in their shoes, er..., oh yeah..., feet to walk the ten yards to the front door and ring the bell. You lazy inconsiderate oiks. The car horn is not there for you to summon (potentially fare paying) passengers from the safety of their homes into your (untaxed, unMOT'd) beaten up maroon Mondeo. Get out of the car and walk! It won't kill you! YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING A TIP! (Other than "try holding your breath for a week.....") RanT

Previously on rant......

So-called 'e-businesses' that operate on an 'online-only' basis. Dabs.com in particular. No phone number so you can't discuss any problems - all you get is e-mails, littered with spelling mistakes - hey, you can't even spell my name right, call yourselves customer service? I think not. Do yourselves a big favour - don't use dabs.com - they're rubbish.

Hey, it's the summer - lets all turn up our music and open our windows, thus sharing our godawful taste in music with our neighbours - NO NO NO NO! Go boil your heads and stick red-hot corkscrews in your eyes!! You selfish mindless morons. Buy some headphones, or even better LEAVE THE PLANET - NOW!

People using the disabled parking spaces without having a proper badge - this now extends to the selfish individuals who use the 'Customers with small children' spaces at Sainsbury's when they don't have kids - hell these people shouldn't even be allowed to breed! The local paper has even carried a photo of a NUN using one of these spaces!!

Why is it, that at about half past six at night, some lowlife minimum wage call centre operative has to try and ruin my day too? Just because they've no life - it's hardly an excuse for trying to deprive my of mine! Every time I try to remain calm and polite by asking 'is this a sales call? - cos I'm gonna hang up if it is', and everytime I end up loosing my rag with the inoffensive piece of plastic in my hand when eventually I manage to hang up. We're getting through phones like they're going out of fashion! Anyway, I've been told about something called The Preference Service - you dial 0845 0700 707 and register your name and phone number and apparently you'll be removed from all these sales phone lists - we'll see. UPDATE - it works!! No sales calls!! Bliss!!

Fog lights when it's not foggy - especially in the rain. YOU'RE NOT HELPING THE GUY BEHIND YOU IF ALL HE CAN SEE IS A RED BLUR!
