Who was it who said 'money is the root of all evil'? Cus they were right...sadly
I think it was "the love of money is the root of all evil".

Same thing really, but it is true it brings out the monster in people.

Cashpoints where the buttons dont line up with whats on screen
This. And those new ones which are touch screen.
I used one once and pressed for cash and it didn't do anything so I pressed cash again only for it to quickly go to cash and then automatically choose £50 even though I only wanted £10. Luckily I had enough in the account.

People who take too long at cashpoints in general
It's because of the stupid machines!

Stoopid drivers.
Today heading north on the approach to the Forth Bridge, 3 lanes go into 2 lanes, plenty warning signs advising drivers that the right lane will end in 200 yds drivers gayly passing me on the right happily ignoring a space I leave them 50 yds from the merge point, THEN they find out [ sound of penny dropping ] the lane ends THEN they want to be let in to my lane .
Oooh, you can f**k off mate.

Bastards.
This.
And a similar one is when you're on a busy dual carriage way outside lane and a fire engine is coming up the outside lane and you indicate to pull in and even bib your horn and people give you funny looks or even angry looks.

Look in the bloody mirror you morons!!! See that big red truck and the flashing lights???

Strange men messaging me on the dating site I use. Mainly one's that get annoyed and call me a 'bitch' if I don't check out their profile - piss off mate.

Finally getting a drs appointment and finding out they can't give me medication and I'll have to wait at least two weeks until something is done about an infection.

When my freelance arty friends get commissions (and I don't ) and then I gotta be all happy for them.

People who text you about a serious issue and then when I reply they don't say anything, I hate being left in the dark.

Finding a myyodel "where the fk were you" card lying outside my flat front door implying I had a parcel that they couldn't deliver. But the card had no personal information on it so it could have been for anyone. Also why the heck wouldn't they post it thru the door. Very puzzling.

Enter the details into their site and find it WAS a parcel for me and they HAD delivered it, by putting it in my safe place. Now I've had stuff from them before and told them to leave it by my door cos with all those security cameras around it IS a safe place. In fact I've had many-many parcels left there with no problems what-so-ever, not even a hint of a problem. I've had parcels waiting there safely a number of days. So what does this mean now ? Someone obviously walked off with it, this is no longer a safe place. Gotta be my opposite neighbours who are pissed at me for 'bitching' to the Council about their noisy kids using the communal area as a playground. They've definitely got it in for me and the Dad is about twice my size. Oh great. I'll just write it off as an "oh well" and not let them see they got to me. Darn it.

[1 minute later] Then I remember the parcel that WAS put thru the letterbox yestersday, the one from America, the one that arrived all perfect. Checking the box cover and wohandbehold it's got a YODEL sticker on it. .
So looks like the Yodel guy thought my letterbox would be too small, got out the card, found my letterbox WAS big enough (I replace the original small one cos I'm awesome), posted parcel and dropped the card by mistake. So my safe place IS still intact, the opposite family might still despise me but I've no evidence of that yet. And I don't need to be psd for the rest of the day. :woot:

Roundabouts that have two lanes allocated to those going straight over, but which then merge into one within a few yards of the exit. It's actually dangerous, yet the eastern approach into Derby has a whole series of them.
We have a roundabout that has
3 lots of 3 lanes going on
and
2 lanes straight in to one, and 1 lane and one lane

its like WTF?

People who make a big fuss over not wanting to have their picture taken.

We’re getting ID cards at work, and everyone needs a photo. One woman made such a fuss over it that everyone in the office heard all about her resistance to it, and when she finally had it done she was all “oh it looks awful I hate it”.

Get over it, it’s just a photo, nobody sees it or cares about it, and you’ve just drawn more attention to yourself and your eventual photo by making such a big fuss over it.

I'm not a parent or child hater at all but why am I sitting on a train in a completely deserted carraige and a mum decide that sitting down right next to me so her little boy can see the doors and she can talk in baby talk to him is something she should do.

There is literally no one else in this carriage, i get the kids excited but you walked past a set of doors to come and sit here and look at these doors.

People who ask you if you want something and you've already given them the answer. Think Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf.

"Would you like some toast?"
"No."
"Would you like a bagel?"
"No."
"Would you like a crumpet?"
"No, no, no. I told you before: I don't want toast, I don't want bagels, I don't want crumpets, I don't want crossonts and I don't want pancakes."
"Ah, so you're a waffle man?"

That whole 'your name on a bottle of coke' thing.

It's old now but you still get people sifting through the bottles trying to find their name making a que form behind them. GET OVER IT! IT'S A NAME ON A BOTTLE!

So many sheep about, coca cola must be laughing all the way to the bank!
I do have a quick look as I still haven't found mine............

^I checked out the line today and had they had one that said "Starlord" or River I'da got one. Maybe the Coke people are missing out on a "must collect them all" attitude some people have by not bringing out ones with famous names on - If I could get the whole Batman family then I'd start drinking that brown fizzy stuff again.

and as for you Moobly, eBay might be your friend, though methinks a thick marker pen and a sticky label would be cheaper

When someone steps on the back of your shoe and it comes off.

When your browsing forums on your phone and click usernames instead of threads.

Stupid little kids running in between parked cars right in front of me.

Idiot driver reversing out of a parking bay bumped into my parked car. The bays at either side of me were empty, no idea why she couldn't have aimed towards one of them.

Next door neighbour flushing their toilet in the middle of the night and waking me up. We have thin walls and their bathroom backs onto my bedroom.

LinkedIn. It gives me notifications every time someone has changed job. The last thing I wanna be told is that some douchebag I went to University with has got a job in the design industry when I'm still jobsearching. I'm the same if not more talented than them and then it suggests that I send them 'Congrats' - NOPE!

There must be some sort of settings to turn these notifications off? I don't mind the invitation ones but these just serve to annoy me. I've changed some of my settings on there but I'm not sure if it will make a difference.

And before someone says I sound bitter, I guess I am - and rightly so.
