I'll start....

Had a call today from a lady where she started in a very aggressive tone...

HER:
I received a consignment number for a delivery that is supposed to arrive today, it hasn't arrived and I have taken a day off work to wait for it. I really needed that delivery today and I am absolutley fuming that it hasn't arrived. I have phoned the courier who say they don't even have the consignment number, what is going on, your service so far is awful!!!!

ME:
Let me take some details and I will see what has happened. Can I have your name please?

She gives her name and I look on the system, can't find her so I search by the consignment number she provides, nothing comes up.

ME:
What is it you have ordered?

HER:
An exercise bike!

ME:
We are a printing company.

HER:
Hangs up the phone.

Obviously at this point I am not a happy bunny....1471, phone her back....

ME:
Next time you phone a wrong number the decent thing to do is apologise, not to hang up!.....I then hang up, some people

[am:pm graphics]

oh dear! Would be a good USP if you offered Bikes too

I don't like it when someone calls trying to sell something, being pushy and never ending and then when it's clear I am not interested they hang up!!

I'm sick of recruitment agencies who bend over backwards to get you to sign up with them, once they do that's the last you hear from them. Or the ones that really get my goat are the agencies that put up fake adds on jobsites just to get more recruits. I'm mostly talking about *cough*Aquent*cough*avoid like the plague*cough*

ooh what a great thread..... I will probably be in here a lot!

I was particularly pissed off last Thurs. I was on the A55 to Wales when some stupid woman almost took the nose off the front of my car. I had to slam on and swerve slightly into the central reservation. I flashed her and honked her, but she didn't even acknowledge she had done anything wrong!

I was livid, more so because I had my family in the car. Wanted to give her a good slapping!

Which gets me onto another subject about driving - Lane discipline.... or lack of it.
I hate it when people cut you up on roundabouts or drift into your lane on bends, because they are too bloody lazy to stay in their own.

That is extremely polite and decent attitude of you.... I might have taught her some serious lesson..

Don't get me started on roadrage.

I'm generally quite a nervous person, but some people should just have their pedals taken away so that they're not allowed to pull out of their driveways. On a weekly basis, I get some muppet grinding to a halt before joining the motorway, when you're meant to keep the car moving.

Then people seem to brake with no traffic in view. And roundabouts, oh they deserve a topic of rage on their own.

[Boss Hog]

...people that pull out on you last minute and then trundle along, seriously, if you are in that much of a rush to make me break hard at least put your foot down!

I still haven't received my exercise bike.
