Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)
Discussion
When you're expecting a parcel delivery...
...and the Parcelforce van pulls up outside, driver gets out and goes into the back of the van, then after a couple of minutes emerges and gets back in and drives off
Edited to add: He now appears to be parked in someone's back garden, and hasn't moved for 20 minutes...
Edited again to add that he came back - said he couldn't find my parcel in the van earlier ( it's not very big ) - at least he bothered to come back when he found it

HSBC.
My debit card had an expiry date of March 25 but I received a new card yesterday expiring in 2026.
As I hadn't ordered the new card I rang to make sure it hadn't been ordered fraudulently. They confirmed that it was an automatically generated order by the system so I said it would be easier for me to keep my current card for the next few years as it was set up for autopayments etc. No problem, they went ahead and cancelled the new card which I destroyed.
Of course when I went to use my current card it was declined then the cash machine retained it because they'd cancelled the wrong one. So now I have to wait 5-10 working days for a new one that I didn't want.

Neighbours.
Ok, more specifically, 2 neighbours. One who insists on leaving ALL their bins out for ages after they’ve been collected.
But mainly, the neighbour opposite, who just parks outside their house regardless of what’s on or around the road. They have a drive, but don’t use it.
So, I have to get out and move every one of the bins to get past. Genuinely, there’s not room to pass.

Move half of them in front of his car and the other half behind it, might get the message (though I doubt it)
It’s a couple. Get on well with the guy but I think it’s his girlfriend who parks there. I did once leave notes on their truck and a car opposite forming a tight chicane, and even spoke to her later but I don’t think it got through.Don’t want to fall out over it, but it is annoying!

People who put their feet up on the opposite seat on trains. It's so unnecessary, so inconsiderate and I just want don't get why you'd do it.
It makes my blood boil... Like beyond all reason levels of rage. For two pins I'd mash them up with a knuckle duster.
I had a go at someone who did that on my bus home from the pub. Bus driver agreed with me, but didn't join in. Looking back, it was a crazy thing to do, and I wouldn't have done it on the way to the pub. Or in a more built-up place where the chance of getting stabbed is probably higher. He didn't move them, anyway, so it was a waste.It makes my blood boil... Like beyond all reason levels of rage. For two pins I'd mash them up with a knuckle duster.
Colleague of mine tried to call me but didn't get a response. So he emails me telling me he called but no answer, asked for a report and coppied in my boss. I assume to get me in trouble as im wasn't glued to my desk at home working.
I replied that I had gone for a walk. Can't wait to see his face when I resign next week and he has to do twice the work.
