Things We Hate

[mowgli]

Hate these things and moths. Both terrify the life out of me.

Neither of which can hurt you,never had you down as a wimp

Thats the thing about it, I know they cant hurt me, but they always seems to fly straight for my face and I get paranoid whenever they are around.

Spiders I have no issue with, but bloody moths and crane flies, eughh....

 

[Camborne Gills]

People who moan about harmless insects.

Friends dying. I lost another today but to be fair i knew it was only a matter of time withthe amount of vodka he drank,his liver packed up and he died in hospital aged only 45. RIP Donk.

 

[Christian Slater]

Sorry to read that, Mowgli. My friend's sister's friend died from excessive drinking. He was pissing in a sink and his liver just fell apart, sounded like a horrible way to go.

One of my cousins is taking the same route with his almost non-stop drinking, he's now getting through 4 three litre bottles every day of ridiculously cheap white cider (Costco sell them for £4 a bottle) and the stuff is 7.8% - he turns 50 at Christmas - if he lives to celebrate it.

The BBC news website has become more like Buzzfeed recently. Every news story starts with a number e.g. 5 delicious
meals you have to cook this summer.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Dire innit. Used to get an article on Turkish cinema or summat. Now it's YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS 90S KID DID NEXT! Pathetic.

 

[GodsGift]

Its Twitter account is dire too, especially BBC Sport. More emojis than words.

 

[SALTIRE]

When you've been busy painting all day, to finish, then wander into the living room to find a family member watching Man Utd v Everton!!!

 

[Pagnell]

Harry Potter.

I thought and hoped we'd finally fucking done with it, but apparently not.

 

[Pagnell]

c*** fucking useless amateur pricks BT cutting off my fibre due to an administrative error, then giving the cabinet spot to someone else in the 6 hours before I realised they'd cut me off and informed them of their error. I'm then told my area is at maximum capacity so they can't do anything, effectively washing their hands of the situation, despite fully admitting it's their fault. Oh, but apparently I can have copper at a speed of between 1.5mb and 3mb as opposed to the 80mb I was on.

c***. Ofcom being called on Monday.

Thanks to a high level complaint I've now been told that additional capacity has been added to the local cabinet/exchange and I'll be back on fibre tomorrow. I'll believe it when it happens but fingers crossed. The last 5-6 weeks have been hell, I've had some serious Kodi withdrawal symptoms.

 

[Abertawe]

How ironic that happened to you of all people, must've been in some negative karma for that to happen.

 

[Jockney]

Losing that lost pound or two. Croatia in a few weeks and desperately to be completely lean by then, but it's a slowwww, slowwww burn.

 

[Stefan]

Websites that are supposed to show some cool content but turns out to be slideshows instead...

 

[Veggie Legs]

O2 and their appalling customer service. Firmly on my list of companies that I will never do business with.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Idiot Passengers stopping to grab their bags during emergency evacuations.

You ain't crashed one already?

 

[Craig]

Probably referring to the footage of the Emirates evacuation.

The itching that comes a couple of days after sunburn just before the peeling begins. Unbearable, I would rather be in pain I reckon.

 

[Dave-Vale]

departed user was flying that Emirates plane.

 

[TomPNE94]

Oh, is FT a pilot?

 

[Christian Slater]

Seeing as we're moaning about planes, why do people grab their hand luggage and stand in the aisle like fools for 10-20 minutes while the mobile stairs connect to the exits?

Also, Passport scanners. Quicker using humans. Useless junk.

When I was coming back from Holland not so long ago they had one old bloke and a woman with a clipboard shouting at him about people not using the scanner, most people literally walked straight though without their passport even getting checked.

Spoke too soon. I spoke directly to three Openreach guy who was trying to add my fibre at the cabinet and he told me the capacity hadn't yet been added, and he wasted an hour on the phone trying to tell them. Great.

It depends why there is a lack of capacity. If it's a lack of capacity in the fibre cabinet, and there is room for another line card then it should be quick and easy to do (even subject to normal BT timescales and procrastination - they should have done it by now, 5-6 weeks to add a line card is crazy). If another cabinet is needed then get ready for a very long wait.

The problem is BT as a company are frequently incompetent and they lie. A lot of their visits are pointless, unless you strike gold and actually get an engineer who knows his shit, and can spot a spare dangling cable in the DP (a lot of the time there IS room, but their records just haven't updated that a certain line is free) or some other fix. Some of their engineers are good, a lot of them are idiots and even the good ones are hindered by the shit management. Kelly engineers are hamstrung by a lack of access to things as well, so hope one of those isn't sent. It's infuriating as well that you can't speak to Openreach directly, and nobody at the BT helpdesk is ever any good.

They are possibly the most annoying company to work with in the world, I don't understand how such a comms giant can become so useless.

I know. The lack of capacity is down to the cabinet, additional cards can be added and I've been onto both BT and Openreach since day one to get it added. I was told this has happened, and I saw Openreach vans at the cabinet in the last few weeks. But I spoke to the engineer who came out to the cabinet yesterday to add my fibre and he told me it hadn't been added but confirmed what I already knew, that the cabinet has spaces available. He also said a job for adding the cards was in place but couldn't give me a time frame.

That young American lady who has been appearing on politics shows recently. Really annoying.

Losing my bookmark. Despicable.

People who can't fill out a lottery ticket correctly.

I work part-time in a shop and you get 50 year old men who have obviously done the lottery hundreds of times, filling out their slip with ticks rather than solid marks in the boxes next to the numbers.

Not quite on par with the worlds most heinous crimes, but if people could make my life that bit easier that would be greeeeaaat.
