    I actually enjoy some parts or the Christmas period, but to be honest the older i get the less tolerant I am.....

    So with that in mind I thought I would post a daily gripe on the run up to the big day, to keep it loosely poker related I will also combine a felt based irritant.

    Feel free to contribute with your own examples (albeit if Grumpy Paul gets involved i may be bereft of material after a day :-))

    So to start the ball rolling;

    Scarves should never be worn indoors at a poker table.....yes even you Mr Kendall. This may be coloured by a recent live sojourn, where an elderly Portuguese gentleman sporting just such an accessory ripped about 80 euro from my grasp by hitting a gutshot on the river....

    At what point did the 'drop off' point outside Tesco become a 'park here and wait for the wife to nip in and buy something' spot.....the clue is in the wording.


    Anyway Merry Christmas

    People who take ages at a cash machine.
    People who walk really slow but also sway so they block you as you try to get past.
    People who talk on their phone whilst being served.
    Bus drivers who 100% stick to the bus lane when approaching traffic lights despite the normal lane being clear.
    Taxi drivers who either show up 10 mins early or 10 mins late....on time is fine, ty.
    Parents who fail to control their brats.
    People in general

    Poker? I suppose getting a walk with AA when the sb has raised you the last 10 orbits irks a little bit.

    Have you got a Nectar card?
    The same dunce has asked me this every day already for the previous 3 months and been told "No"

    Would you like anything else?
    No, I would have asked if I wanted something else


    Any fuel?
    No, as I said, just the latte 

    Incredibly loud and high pitched supermarket tannoy announcements that are impossible to understand

    I'll stop now

    Trying on an excellent pair of strides and realising that you have gone up another waist size. Obv they don't have that size.
    Seeing a nice Ralph Lauren top at half price and looking like a ridiculous fat fool when you put it on.
    This may have just happened

    You've got the 'none participation' thread for this nonsense.

    Merry Christmas.

    1. Insurance company call centres that play the message 'we are experiencing an unusually high volume of calls today it may be some time before your call is answered', EVERY time you phone them up. If it happens every time it can't be an 'unusually high' number of calls, can it!

    2. Finally getting through and then immediately getting disconnected.

    3. After trying again for another 20 minutes being told that the person that can help you (probably the only one with a brain) only works Monday to Wednesday. 

    4. Being asked to email your enquiry through and then being given the wrong email address hence necessitating a return to step 1.

    5. Getting an email response to say that their turnaround time is 10 working days. I was due to see the client on Monday.

    6. Being asked to complete a satisfaction survey for the same insurance company but realising that I am now late for my next appointment so won't actually be able to leave the 'feedback' I would so dearly like to.
     
    7. Skip 2 weeks then realise that you still haven't had the information requested....return to step 1.

    8. After a month receive information, most of which is incorrect.....return to step 1.

    9. Finally receive all the correct information.....decide that it is unfair that the client should pay for the time wasted so far but realise that complaining to the insurance company will result in a return to step 1.

    10. Finalise your work and advice to the client and bill the client what is reasonable rather than the actual time spent.


    Rinse and repeat, day after day after day.

    Completely agree with this, its chilling how many people think they are funny.

    Will need more time to document the multitude of things, people and behaviours that drive me to near Michael Douglas, in Falling Down, levels of insanity.

    Immediately springing to mind due to Enut's post....My internet recently went down, it was a wide spread problem so the provider issued a phone number to call if affected, it was an automated message, annoying in its own right, but what really took the p!ss was after listening to said message waffle on (much like I am now) for an unreasonable amount of time, imparting no information of any use, the message finished by announcing, 'for further details please go to www.wehavenotthoughtthisthrough.com'.

    People who limp call, a lot.

    Airports, especially when they steal toiletries.

    People who send you Christmas cards in November.

    People who put Christmas decorations up in November.

    People.

    Christmas.

    Limp calling.

    Small coats.

    People who start threads that take up way too much of your time.

    1) shop assistants who put your change on the counter instead of in your hand.

    2) Do you need a lighter? When you buy cigs.

    3)when you mobile internet/phone signal doesn't work

    4) people who double card at bank machines or take forever (it's like they've never seen the options for)

    5) people who take forever hunting for their nectar card holding up the queue

    6) the time it takes from when a plane lands until you actually get let off.

    7) the time it takes for the suitcases to arrive after you leave a plane (I love flying)

    8) loud people

    Love this thread ��

    Shopping for a new phone and they try to sell you one you didn't come in for.

    They then pull the model from  their back pocket and say its so good they use it themselves.

    Some great responses to day 1......who'd have thought there were so many like minded grumps around ;-)))

    Anyways its now the 2nd and much to my annoyance I am missing The Placebo gig in Glasgow tonight, but thats nothing compared to;

    Poker players who insist on spin flipping their chips into the pot.....all good until one catches an edge and runs round the table like that demented cheese rolling 'sport'.........buy a frisbee!

    People who talk continually in a restuarant ignoring waiting staff ready to take their order, only to eventually stop the inane drivel...THEN start reading the menu.

    The conversations people have while at a restaurant! i once sat on a table next to a surgeon who thought it would be appropriate to describe, in detail, one of his surgerys. i dont know what goes on in peoples heads that makes them think its ok.
