Things you hate II

Swinton Insurance is a pain in the ass, don't stop sending me emails as are London estate agents such as Foxtons, looked for a property 3 years ago and still getting loads of emails from, anything PPI is good as well as they don't stop calling day or night, well done for getting his details and good luck!...

 

With legitimate companies like Foxtons and Swinton surely their emails have an unsubscribe link at the end? Why don't you use it?

 

Legitimate? ! Foxtons legitimate you are kidding? Don't be daft, I've unsubscribed from both about 10 times and you still can't.

 

Why would you hack into someone's account and spend £6 on some lights!?

 

Then report them to the ICO

 

*rolls eyes* ...riiiight

 

I dunno. Fraudsters often try a small purchase first to check the account and card details are legit. Though he did Prime first and added 2 others lights into my basket. I vote mentally deficient rather than criminal mastermind.

 

Amazon. Still not delivered my lights.

 

Stephen Fry.

Verbose, condescending snob who somehow is deemed a national treasure because he was once in Jeeves and Wooster and knows lots of obscure vocabulary.

 

The CNBC news alerts. Every single news event will be sent via email throughout the day, often about ****e.

 

You do realise every email provider allows you to block email addresses right? Either specific addresses or whole domains.

 

Just enter his mobile number into every on-line form you can find. The spam calls will ruin him.

 

People who ignore key information such as 'without an email address'

 

Snapchat Stories - don't imagine too many on here will have this app, so I'll give a brief explanation first.

Snapchat is an instant messaging app that users use to communicate via photos (often selfies) or videos rather than typing as is the norm.

Snapchat Stories are a feature that have been about for a while now, where a user can take a photo/record a video and add it to a timeline that all of their friends on the app will be able to see. Unfortunately this feature is rarely used to share things of interest, but more mundane ****. The thing that gets me the most is when someone adds a piece to their Snapchat story when on a night out... It must be a really **** night if your first thought is to get out your phone and record some flashy lights and blaring music.

 

Phubbing as an action and the fact that it's an actual word.

 

i ****ing hate fifa 16

 

I don't think That it is a word. At least, I'd challenge if it was played against me in scrabble.

 

With any luck, Sep and the rest will crumble, meaning there won't be a FIFA 17

 

Virgin media junk mail.

Seriously I must get at least one a week. I'm registered with the mail preference service and because they label the mail "householder" Royal Mail have to deliver it.

I've been returning to sender for some time but starting to put take away menus and the like in with it now. Next step will be to start getting rid of the pile of house bricks I have in my garden.

When I moved into my house I decided to sign up with virgin. They messed up left right and centre cancelled multiple visits and got their billing wrong so in the end I went with Sky. If I had any intention to move to Virgin the constant flood of junk mail is not helping their cause.

 

I'm with Virgin Media and I still get endless amounts of mail asking me to join! What a complete waste of paper and what a useless database of information they must have.

 

I've shamed them on their Facepage and they've asked me to call them so maybe it'll help you too.

Sorry you're not a fan of the old marketing. If you give us a call on 03454541111 then we can take you off our marketing database.

 

...and add you to our extra marketing database

 

Sssssh That's why I gave Meh! the number, wanted to see if it worked first.

 

Called and they tried to sell me PPI!

 

Well I bit the bullet and called them this morning. I had to enter a Virgin account number or my phone number to actually speak to someone and the usual tricks didn't circumvent the system. I'll be damned if I'm giving them my (non Virgin) phone number as well.

I had a similar situation a couple of years ago with a credit card company that repeatedly phoned the office. Every time they did I politely told them they were breaking the law as it's a TPS registered number and to take them off their calling list. Eventually I was in a bad mood one day, got the details of the person who called, asked them to be put through to the manager. I told them that if they called again we would invoice them £50 a minute with a £50 connection charge for our time. It was a recorded phonecall and they will accept this contract should they call again. They never did.:sign15:

 

my girlfriends best friends, "go away already and im a nice guy" :rant:

 

Posts that I've needed to read 3 times over and still not quite sure if I've understood them.

 

I get it from estate agents and charity bags, at least twice a week from Connells or Ashtons offering to sell my house and once a week from some so called 'charity' trying to make money from me filling a bag up of clothes and leaving on the door step, no chance pal. I use them to put my shopping in now and save 5p.

 

I think it's the fact that some girls have blokes as best friends that's bothering Phil.

 

Women who apply make up after they've left the house.

I was on the train this morning and this woman sat down next to me and spent the entire 35 minute journey applying make up, holding up a mirror and sighing deeply that she obviously missed a bit.

****s sake. I don't **** on the train in the morning.

Anymore.

 

You'll learn...

 

Cinema ticket prices.

Why the f**k is it £10 to sit in a chair and look at a bloody screen

 

...and sit there whilst everyone is talking or on their phones. I'm out.

 

Getting nuclear power stations built by a Watford fan who can't entirely be trusted. Why can't they just give us the money and let us build our own (or if we can't, because the Brits who could have all died, retired or gone mad), get some Frogs or Yanks to do it for us?

 

That deal represents one of the worst pieces of business a British government has ever entered into.

What it also does however is keep the cost entirely off the government books which serves Osborne's short and medium term aims well. By the time the chickens come home to roost he'll be well out of the way.
