Pet Peeves

[Carnage]

I pour out a coffee and sit down with a magazine and an apple square that I've been looking forward to all day, and no sooner does my arse hit the chair but a wasp buzzes in the window and hovers around me. Stripey cunt. I get up and shepherd it out the window and sit down again for take 2. At which point a bluebottle does exactly the same thing. Blue cunt. So up I get and fuck him out the window, with a few more fuck offs for a bonus. Take 3. First bite of the bun and it explodes all over the T-shirt I'd put on not 10 minutes prior. Green cunt.

It's the little things.

Buying t-shirts online.
Please state whether its skinny fit or regular fit for fucks sake ! We're not all in the fighting fit primes of our youth anymore !

Pretty sure every band tee is a unique. Never managed to buy two that fit the same.

Taxis. Have never been a big fan and always found them over priced but the standard has really dropped over the last 2 years. Where I am living now in the centre of a town if you call a taxi at best it will show up 20 - 25 mins after you called it or even worse it won't show up at all. Missed a train recently because a taxi I had pre booked showed up 35mins late and all I got was a 'sorry'. Every time I am trying to get home from the train station they won't let you book a taxi if they know you are still on the train and tell you to call once you are at the station yet each and every time you call from the station it's a 20 - 30 minute wait.

I really wish they would bring in Uber as an independent company in this country like they have everywhere else and it would give the taxi industry in Ireland the big kick up the ass it desperately needs.

Add that to the price hikes over covid and they're cuntish altogether. Jumped up €2 in the past year here and, given that one of the two cab companies here closed up shop during covid, the remaining one has the monopoly and so can charge what they want. Bastards.

I live a mile outside town, which is only a 15-20 min. walk, depending on how much of a hurry I'm in. That's grand, I'd only call a taxi when it's pissing down. My work is 5 miles away though, so I'm stuck if I need a cab there, tenner each way. Robbery, considering I was getting there for €6 a couple of years ago.

Time to buy a bike, I think.

People that send one line messages
Like this
One after the other
Instead of putting it all into one message
The result being
That your phone beeps/buzzes
8 fucking times
Instead of just once

Yep. Very close to the top annoyances for me as well.

AIB and their two step authentication bullshit. No, I don't remember my fucking password, as it's been so long since I bought anything online, yet is there any option to have them send it to my email account so I can reset it? Is there fuck.
Basically, it's "Sign up for our internet banking app or get fucked. LOL"

Motherfuckers!!
Got hit with that shite myself only yesterday, I don't have an online account, have never had one, and don't intend on starting one with the cunts either.
I was paying for something through PayPal like.
Raging.

AFAIK councils or someone else sets the prices for taxis so they are not allowed to charge over a certain amount. Might be something to complain about but unfortunately where I am living you can't say anything because we have several companies but when they are busy 90% of them divert the radio to this one company so in reality they control it all and if you complain they will just blacklist from getting a taxi next time.

I just bought a car recently myself but in these situations it is useless to me as the only reason I am using taxis over driving is because I had been drinking.

I had to get a taxi in Dublin for work a few months ago and the driver was telling me that the drivers are going to start pushing to get rates increased since they haven't had an increase for years.

Add to that this bullshit where you have to confirm on the app on your phone each and every time you open online banking on another device like say a laptop. I purposely don't have my phone by my side 24/7 but this is all part of the big push to force everyone onto smartphones.

That 2 step bollix fries the head off me.

Swallowed a fly yesterday while out cycling and the little cunt stayed stuck in my throat for about 20 minutes before I coughed him up. Suppose that's not really a pet peeve though but I had to give out about it somewhere

Ticketmaster. Booked tickets for a comedy show last week and the person I was going with booked time off work as they work night shifts. Tickets never showed then I noticed on Tuesday my card was never charged. Logged into my ticketmaster account to find out my order had been cancelled without any explanation and no email or anything else to tell me the order had been cancelled. By this stage of course the show was sold out.

Contacted Ticketmaster as expected they didn't give a fuck. They have always been bad but they seem to be really bad since shows started up again. Never gave me the partial refund for TROB gig that you were suppose to get on account of Bolzer not being able to play and didn't fully refund me for one of the cancelled Marduk shows last January either.

Like all the great big corporations they no longer have a customer care phoneline just an automated email service that it takes them weeks to respond to and now I see in the Tool thread in the Gig Discussion they are back touting shows again even after that new law to stop touting was brought in.
