What annoyed you today?

The Trolley Zombies in Tesco......raise my blood pressure every time...

Quite agree. The one I hate park their trolley one side of the Aisle then stand the other side looking at a product they aren't going to buy anyway. Thus in one stroke they have blocked the full passageway and ignore you who is trying to get past.

Haha! Very true...plus those who leave the checkout, then steer said trolley (badly) with elbows whilst they go at a snails pace checking the receipt...

Drove an hour and a bit to a theme park to go on the big roller coaster. It was closed for maintenance, but we went on the other rides, and then our friend's daughter was sick on the way home. I'd forgotten she only needs to look at a car to get nauseous.

Yep, right from the carpark they are a total pain, seem to forget what is road and what is pavement, when they are detached from their trolleys they guard food especially fruit and veg. I hate it so much we online shop now and to be fair it works well.

Our local Tescos has to put a sign up to tell the holiday chavs they need to wear clothes in the shop!

Was she ok on the rides?

The rides are mercifully short, and she did nearly throw up after the pirate boat - that should have reminded me

Move to Holland, and you'll never have those problems!

(The long haul travel that is, you can still get tired!)

Just had a letter from British Gas to tell me that they're raising my Direct Debit for electricity from £3/month to £51/month. That annoyed me so much that I cancelled the Direct Debit. Now we can sort it out before they start to rob me. Last time they did something like this, I was over £1000 in credit before I noticed. Oh, if you think £3 is too low, maybe it is, but it's a small property that only gets used for 2 or 3 days a month.

Robbing b&@#%*$.

I cancelled my direct debit with British gas for that very reason. For months I was bombarded with phone calls telling me I was in arrears. (I wasn't) They did everything in their power to get me to return to direct debit. I refused but told them I was prepared to pay by standing order, that way I controlled my payments. They told me that it would be impossible to set up, their system wouldn't allow it. Then last month they changed their minds and I now pay by standing order.

Apple.

To be fair I live in an almost permanent state of rage about bl**dy Apple. Last evening I tried to have a video chat with a mate who has a Macbook Pro. Earlier we'd had a lovely Google Hangouts 3 way video natter with a couple of other friends'; PC based, simple, effective - 'it 'just works'. But will anything other than the walled garden facetime work with his stupid overweight overpriced heap of Cupertino junk? No, it won't. Not even Skype. So I called him on the land line instead.

Owning an Apple product is like paying to deliberately lock yourself into a prison - I have no idea why anyone would want to do that.

Had a friend staying last week who is head of IT development for a UK insurance company - he has a bin outside his front door where visitors may deposit their Apple devices - he won't allow them over the threshold

Mind you, an endless source of amusement! Latest iShite offering from a mate:
Ok who's the smart arse that taught my phone to auto correct "photographer" to "hot dog rapper"
