Traffic Announcements made by "regional" radio stations. FFS. Do you deliberately time it wrong, or are you trying to use TA as some kind of advertising strategy to entice listeners to tune into your brain dead broadcasts.

You're just about to hit your highest score ever in PopMaster when suddenly you get...

"... and that's blocked the entire road system up for miles around, causing delays of several hours, so if you are heading in that direction, I'd suggest you find another route!

Thank you Alice, and now, have you ever woken up in the night and wondered what weight the cotton is in your work shirt? I know I have, and our next guest is cotton expert Professor Boring McAdenoid from the University of Blenkinsop who will explain to us in dreary detail about exactly how cotton thread is made and turned into a shirt, but before that, we have a caller on the line... hello Mary? Hi John. So, Mary, you have a question for the professor about cotton? Well john, it's not about cotton exactly. I used to have a small dog, it was a poodle and it used to have a bed in the corner of the kitchen and one christmas, my husband and I, who has sadly passed away now, looked at little Benjy and we thought..."

FFS. SHUT UP. You f***ed up the actual travel report, so now I know there is a major problem somewhere in your coverage area, but I have no idea where, and you are now punishing my ears with your dismal interpretation of talk radio. Please just end your TA and let me get back to Mr Bruce and his poptastic questions, you B******S!!!!

Online retailers who seem to just fall short of the general level now days.

I don't expect to pay £5 for 2nd class postage that has now taken 5 days to arrive!

More to the point they've delivered a clearly defective product, which would be fine and they are happy to take returns and process them, but postage is at my own cost, and they also advise ME to use recorded delivery because it's not their responsibility if it never gets to them!? AND i have to wait another probable 5 days after their "inspection" to get a new pair sent out!?

Honestly I've just emailed them and asked them where the item is, because it hasn't arrived yet and i'd like their tracking number so I can sort it out with Royal Mail. When they tell me they don't have one, i'll tell them that's their responsibility can you send me the product I paid for please... I should have just bought from JL over the road. It's been a while since I bought from a smaller online shop but I remember why...

Random bank fraud, and apparent hassle of it all. I on't understand the point in Visa verified if they don't use it ALL THE TIME!? WHAT IS THE POINT!? Why he **** do I need to do it, but not someone else who isn't me!?

Actually this probably isn't so irrational. But now i'm sat waiting to have money refunded, hopefully its very likely. Can't afford £400 on a hotel I won't use... =/ Actually the last thing finacially I need right now...

Weird thing is they appear to have used all my details, including MY actual name (unless that's so it's connected to the card?) seemed a little weird like...

*Groan*

Programmes that start before they say they're going to.

It says 7:30, I turned it over at 7:29 and already the credits have rolled and its started.
