Random Irritations

People who for their own reasoning conisder "tradesmen" to be unskilled and all overcharging. Perhaps we should consider accountants, IT geeks, etc etc all as desk jockeys incapable of a hard days work..

We all have our skills and qualifications, so lets respect what everyone does for a living and appreciate that they will most likely do the job better and in much less time that we could.:)

Idiots that can't read notices. PC being upgraded overnight so BIG note attached to screen saying do not power off the pc. Come in and one of the night staff has clearly tried to use the PC seen it is doing something and turned it off. Of course no-one then admitting to it

Don't know why they bother
At least with DPD you get an hour's delivery slot

Yeah DPD is the delivery for Clubhouse, they always tell you what hour they should be there, and you have the option of putting delivery instructions if you're not home.

I've ordered from Golfbidder for the first time, they use UPS - no delivery time, plus I can't put delivery instructions in unless I fully sign up and register an account with them. So fingers crossed it arrives before our housemate leaves for work, otherwise God knows where I'll have to go and get it from.

Well they attempted to deliver it and failed so they've taken it away again. *sigh*
 
The cycle clubs that use the quiet road that runs alongside a couple of our holes - and as they cycle past in groups they shout to each other. Bluddy irritating as you are standing over a putt or over a tee shot about to play and a sudden racket explodes in your ears...

They use the road all the time. They know we are there. Can they not just shut up for 10 seconds as they cycle past us?

No such thing now is there?, I thought every voter was now a “brexiteer” or “remainder”

Or as I have heard said "Quitter" or "Stayer"

But that categorization just irritates some as it is not as buccaneering as their preferred. So as this post will in itself no doubt irritate some I shan't repeat it in consideration of their sensitivities - I promise :)
 
Spending ages yesterday getting batted from pillar to post by Addenbrookes trying to sort my next eye check. Finally left it that they'd get back to me. Did they? Of course not. So tried again this morning and get a recorded message from the secretary that she's on annual leave until...today...

The NHS can be awesome but so flipping poor at what should be the easy stuff like admin!
 
Not so much a random irritation but a constant bleeping annoyance. I have to drive around my Father-in-Law and he has a card for parking in disabled space.
I get sick of seeing so many cars in these spaces parked by people with no disability card because they are too lazy/inconsiderate/full of their own self importance to park in a normal space.
I lost it yesterday with one woman who not only parked her S Class Mercedes in a disabled space without that card but also parked so badly it made it difficult for my Father in Law to get back in the car. I asked her what the hell she was doing and she was trying to defend herself by saying lots of other empty disabled spaces/everybody else was doing it etc. She then sped off at such a speed in this busy car park that if anybody had stepped out between the cars they wouldn't have had a chance.
I have NEVER used a disabled space unless with my Father-in-Law with me and hate these people who park in them. Of course they all have their excuses
  • There's nowhere else to park
  • I'm only here for 5 minutes
  • There's lots of other places
  • Everybody else does it
  • It's raining
  • !!!! off
People who do it should be fined. And as more people become eligible for disabled parking cards then the worse this is going to get.
 
The dear caller into LBC 5mins ago who, when asked by JO'B about the laws that the EU has imposed on the UK, came up with the 'fact' of 437 (his number) laws on hand-towels (that he couldn't identify) and vehicle emission controls. And when he agreed they were maybe not bad things, informed us of the EU law that is coming 'to a cinema near you' (my words) soon that will be dissolving (his word) the British Army. Oh yes. He absolutely owned JO'B. :(

They wouldn't park like that at The Cross - hmmm - maybe they would...

And on your part of the world - the contortions and efforts some make to squeeze into a too small parking spot on the road at the Broom Shops - when there is a great big empty car park not 2mins walk away. And they hold everyone up - and they often leave their car randomly parked and jutting out to obstruct the traffic flow past. Or maybe since I have stopped going there things have improved.
