Well l don't think there is a day goes by where l don't get frustrated about something....

Today l got frustrated due to Tesco's hiding their bl**dy carrots. I hate it when they move things around in the hope that l might buy something else while trying to locate them.

Excluding posters with poor grammer what frustrates you?

Companies that don't answer their telephones in a reasonable time. Recently we held on for over an hour and a half to speak to Scottish Power who had claimed we owed them over £500 and wanted to increase our payment by over £65 a month -we didn't - we gave them an accurate reading and owed them just under £100!

P&O frustrate me. Having said they want people to book early on select fares they then do a last minute offer giving double the amount of OBC to late bookers - moan, moan, moan. To top it all, the packing isn't going very well. To make it even worse, I have just scoffed a whole box of wine games so I am frustrated at my total lack of control. There, I bet you wish you hadn't asked.

Hi Gill,

Ignorant shop assistants that stand around chatting with workmates and totally ignore you when you want to ask them something

Recently I was a bit annoyed with P&O - we had previously had a communication which said that our loyalty points had been wiped out because we hadn't cruised with them during a certain period; now this past week we are being pestered with 'offers'.

If they weren't interested in finding out why we weren't cruising with them and decided to wipe out our loyalty points (the P&O loyalty scheme doesn't exactly float my boat anyway), then I can't be bothered to be interested in booking with P&O - simples!

People wot don't not talk proper, like wot I does

For example, saying "would of" instead of "would have".

The general lack of respect for the law and the well-being of our fellow man.

The moral decline of this once-great nation.

I could go on....

we are probably the only house in our road which hasn't demolished their front garden for a drop kerb ( even those with garages have done it...) so we can rarely park outside our house ( we actually use our garage at the bottom of our garden).

cars that come and go are one thing, but every now and then we have to report 'dumped' cars - ones that have been there for more than 2 weeks.
on the day we returned from Adonia 3 weeks ago today , there was a British gas central heating service van outside.

it's still there. Trying to decide whether to make waves and report it as 'stolen' to the Gas people!

Cyclists who do not observe red traffic lights.

The driving standard in this country.

Cyclists who think the public FOOTPATH is there just for them.

The never ending repeats on TV.

Multiple international phone calls telling me how 'Their research shows I definitely qualify for a free boiler.' I get at least two a day

Peeple wot can't spell!!!

(Sorry Keefy, only joe king!!)

Cyclists and moped riders who insist on riding in the middle of the road.
People who walk through the door you have held open for them without a bye or a leave.
Women (sorry, ladies) who wait until everything has gone through the till before they start looking for their purse, which is concealed in numerous pockets behind various zips in their handbags. (Better security for some than Fort Knox)
People who walk out of a shop and stop dead in the doorway to sort out their bags etc and get their bearings so nobody can get in or out. Likewise those who stop dead at the top of an escalator - scary!!!

Another one - that has just happened again today. Delivery men that leave the parcel on the doorstep. How do they know I'll be back today? I have complained to the company, who claim it doesn't happen - I must be imagining it then!

I should like to clarify... I get two calls a day, not two boilers!

The boiler calls both pre recorded messages and live calls are annoying but I find text messages and telephone calls about insurance claims beat the lot. I have recently received one claiming I was entitled to £4200 for my recent vehicle accident. When I to,d the young lady that I don't drive she said well perhaps you were in a car that had been involved in some incident.
I assured her I hadn't so she then said we can represent you if you wish to make a claim for injury at work or even poor dental treatment.
How it went from"my" accident to dental shows how desperate these companies are but what bothers me is how many people respond and make false claims.
