eBay and PayPal.
I've been a seller on eBay for quite a while. Selling anything and everything from novelty erasers to kids wallets to Mountain bikes. Have over 500 transactions ALL of which have gone smoothly with positive feedback on every single sale. Yet eBay have felt the need to tell PayPal that Im a new seller and now PayPal are withholding all of my funds
Also my d*ck of a landlord who apparently doesn't have the money to replace a window that was broken before we moved in yet has the money to buy a brand new car

Oh yes, it's the day before a Bank Holiday weekend, when solicitors get a lot of very weird calls from people not normally allowed near a telephone, about stuff which they can't help with. And from clients who have been silent and unresponsive for months, who then wake up & want action in three hours before the offices shut for four whole days.

Am I allowed to be annoyed with my family... All now home for Easter, and the arguing started within 5 mins.... I love them dearly BUT could you just ignore some of their annoying traits if it meant you got along nicer?
And Mr Summerdays ... Working on his day off again because he doesn't trust others to not mess it all up. Doesn't matter what I say about leaving them to it.... And they just pile on more work as they know he will put in the hours to get it done, yet yesterday he was moaning about he didn't know how much more he could take of the incompetents he has to deal with (not the immediate ones in his office but those elsewhere around the globe!) someone just sent him a document for review and approval.... He wrote the document

Bloody useless IT "manager" at work, phones up this morning wanting to know where the business admin girl was. On leave, I told him, so he replies with "well that's no bloody good" I've had the chief exec on the phone and she's got problems with "Board Pad" (some new fangled electronic thing the execs have). Next he wants to know where my boss is, on leave! So he replies with "well I've got my own shoot to deal with down here" and someone will need to deal with it.
I don't work in IT, I work with data analysis and so how the hell is an issue with an electronic software package not his "shoot"!!
Quite career limiting dealing with a chief exec issue in that manner!

He may have the money to buy a months worth of new car, not a whole one. I hope your business grows enough for you to get a better landlord or even buy a house.

A woman from 'Windows' telling me someone has tried to hack into my computer so could I turn it on, I called her a lying fu***r and her mother must be so proud of her or is she sat in the booth next to her? Not proud of swearing but these people really annoy me.

Firstly, myself, as I woke up at 2am this morning and didn't sleep much after, so when the alarm went of at 6am for me to go for a ride I couldn't be arsed.
Secondly, the bloke at Currys this morning, trying to tell me what I needed when I new the exact telly I wanted, then his mate trying to sell me overpriced leads and added warranty.
Thirdly, the weather, because I couldn't be arsed to go for a ride our lass quite rightly suggested I give the grass the first cut of the year.
Finally, the grass just annoys me, I hate cutting it.
Apart from all that having a great easter break.

Engineering maintenance is a funny job. Sometimes its great, no stress, interesting, no pressure. Usually its fast moving but under control.
Then sometimes, rarely, you have days where you think...wtf is happening. Today was one of those days. Breakdown after breakdown, machine after machine. Some are still broken down when I left. I had I quick sandwich at 8.30am...and havnt sat down or eaten since.
Why annoying ?...because it shouldn't have happened. We're firefighting and have been since Xmas, too many man hours in other areas of the business...too few on the machinery and now its reached critical point...and ive been tellling them for 2 weeks.
On the plus side, we overhauled a machine that was desperately overdue....and it sounded sweet as a nut when we left.
