Don't think I've put this in here before, but even if I have it deserves another mention

People that own a domain name but then use a free email address. I print plenty of work that will read www.weareacompany.co.uk and then weareacompany@btinternet.com

Really pisses me off

Don't blame you - it'd do that to me too.

The word 'amateur' comes to mind (not aimed at you).

WHY?
That's not acceptable.

I have to admit to something. If I've had a nice meal somewhere I'll get an espresso afterwards to put them to the test. Bad espresso can let it all down for me.

It did ruin it for me.

As I was getting a coke from the bar the other half asked and it turned out that they used...

...A Nespresso machine!

Add to that horror, burnt milk that smelt of baby barf *as it does* and it's just really shocking for a place that has items on the wine list into the high 4 figures and the owner has Michelin stars.

I sent them some feedback.

Heard on the wireless regularly:

"Log on to www.bbc.co.uk/ ... "

OK, what's my username and password? I'll go there, but I'm not "logging on" to it. Duh.

Not irrational..... but annoying. Just went down to put rubbish out only to find some arse has managed to hit the cast iron downpipe from our guttering so hard they have smashed the top off ther bottom piece of pipe. This now leaves the rest of it hanging there like a dead weight.

Again....the general public.Just went to the pub to watch the Germany/Uruguay game and had to leave before I went medieval on everyone in there! Quotes like:

Seriously? You'd like to be someone who never reached his potential, who screwed, drank and snorted away his not inconsiderable fortune which could have changed the lives of his entire family, beat the crap out of his wife (in front of his young children, no less) and has been in and out of mental institutions and rehab for most of his life.

Nice to have ambition I suppose!

Also conversations like:

Leo : are you still serving food
Barmaid : No, we've just taken the last orders
Leo : Oh, when did you stop
Barmaid : Just before

What? Just before we ****ING WALKED IN??? (it was 6.40 and they'd just taken an order at the bar) I hear the food's great there but I've never managed to order any - despite them advertising food '7 days a week' they seem to have a tiny window of opportunity to get it!

Suffice to say, we came home to watch it instead
