what grinds your gears

My doctor is very nice. But.

Why the surgery has to open and shut on different hours each day is beyond me.
Also, their dispensary opens and shuts at different times to the actual surgery.
And neither open at a weekend.

That is annoying. Also town centre shops that still believe in closing on Wednesday afternoon.

Paying more for two tickets to the cinema and a pot of popcorn than just buying the DVD a fortnight later in the shops.

Women who drive cars with their face almost touching the glass, who then dont put the seat back for normal sized humans to be able to get into their own car.

The way that all public sector / union spokespeople who have to go on TV have a list / nervous tic / excessive sweating / some kind of impediment that would otherwise make them unsuitable for TV. It's like they go out of their way to find the most communicatively handicapped person for that role.

What grinds your gears ,blow your top,makes your blood boil,fly off the handle,blow a fuse etc.
a favorite one of mine is when delivering to a new farm with a artic i will all ways ring ahead to see that the access is OK and that i can turn round and nearly all ways the reply comes yes mate had a artic in here last week,so you know when you get to the farm entrance and your greeted by said farmer and his teleporter and chain that things are not as they should be.Oh you wont be able to get through entrance without my assistance pulling trailer round as you turn!now 99 times out of 100 the farmers spot on with what he tells you but the 1% who stretch the truth or do not realize that artics have grown in the last 30 years just like their kit they use,and when it goes tits up they nearly all ways say the chap that was here last week managed to turn round OK ,yes my fault again!

The other one for me was.
Ring Farm day before 'I'm coming in for a load tomorrow, is that OK? I can ring you when I'm nearby so you're not hanging about waiting for me'
Ring and say I'll be there in 30 minutes, or whatever time requested, Farmer has to open shed, move combine (no where did I put them jump leads?) grain trailers and numerous other implements.
Take your point on the 'We've had bigger than that in here though'

No - I'm referring to the half a million Pounds it cost, in fees and expenses, to prevent my family trying to claim Julie's other farm nearby.

That is, of course, on top of the quarter of a million Pounds above the market value that my father drove up the auction price of the farm we had to buy 'em out of.

Being, naturally, on top of the actual price that we had to pay for the farm...

Painfull.
At least you have an appreciating asset.
Bet all involved on the other side have blown a load allready.

Yeah, all of them. You just forgot people straying off footpaths, and the ones sticking to them. Youths cutting wire fence to get quad bikes in and wrecking your grass, whatever little of it there may be. Oh and vegetarians.

tb, tb, tb, ........jeez this just winds me. The pointless futile waste of time, effort cattle and cash. But worst of all are the blinkered apologists who can see nothing but a cuddly old chap who once appeared in wind in the willows and can do no wrong .The shooting cull will be a cock up, it's engineered to be, I think. It's all we have so I hope it happens, if it doesn't the balaclava wearing benefits cheats have won.
I'm bloody convinced this anti campaign is more to do with hatred of what are perceived as land owning, tweed wearing Tory voting farmers , than Badgers.

BT, Orange, NPower, DVLA etc and the like, with 'impenetrable' personal contact systems!!
Drivers, usually women, who after filling up at the pump your waiting for, start rearranging their clothing, looking for the seat belt, putting on lippy, getting out again to get something out of the boot and generally unaware of the rest of the world!!
Shopping in big dept stores.
