    Angry What Peeves me off....

    Might be an interesting addition to this section to see the little things that peeve us all off

    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    Pretty common one: I hate being cutoff by drivers who spot half a car gap in traffic and wave at you like you left it for them to merge into....

    Companies that have no product knowledge.
    Bunnings being called a trade store.
    Try getting a thousand Tek screws bulk.

    Salesmen that have even less product knowledge than the companies they work for.

    Like:
    Company reps that know how to take no for an answer and aren't full of bull.

    Companies that know their products and offer great service.

    Bloody whingers with nothing better to do with their time than to prattle on ad infinitum about what peeves them off!

    Oh, and government departments who insist on having non English speaking or comprehending, idiots answering their phones. (It's a ploy, I know. But what an annoying one.)

    Non English speaking or comprehending, idiots on government phones who hang up on you when you politely call them a bloody moron and scream at them to get some buggar to the phone who bloody well speaks English. BUSTARDS Grrrr

    I had a couple more but couldn't weed out the better ones from the 12,00 others I had so I will stop here. For now.

    Oops. Smart arses who insist on correcting your spelling. Who the hell cares how it's spellted so long as it gets the point acrozz.

    Oh yeah. Last one I promise.
    People who complain about a personal attack and then personally attack someone themself. Bloody hypocrites.
