Things that frustrate us all

Surely you had an argh!-moment, too, today. Share and vent with us! :D
Yes I dont like how ppl are getting meaner and meaner everyday!!

On 1 site I am on I posted a thread about not liking food really anymore (MOST FOOD IN THESE RESTAURANTS TODAY HAS NO FLAVOUR,ITS DISGUSTING) and I was blocked for 2 weeks!!!!

I posted it on 12/28/14 and I was allowed back Yesterday and to be frank,I AM AFRAID TO POST STUFF THERE!!!!! (I have posted a few since But I am weary)


I do think the end is near..... VERY CLOSE!!


Whats wrong with speaking your mind about food??
Must be some wretched hive of scum and evil...
 
I drove behind this woman a couple days ago who not only dorve below the speed limit in the left lane, but she also braked in the middle of a four-way stop during a green light, then turned on her blinker in the forward lane while not going into the turning lane. Then all the cars in the turning lane turns and left and right as the arrow turns yellow, the car suddenly decides to get into the lane and try to speed up and make it but of course did not.

Yes, people miss things and make mistakes, that's understandable. All this happened in half a mile. If somebody is that oblivious in that short a distance, I'm worried about sharing the road with them.

Well they would no doubt say it's a limit and not a target to drive to. But you can actually be fined and given points for driving to slow.

When I learned to drive I was taught if you you find yourself in the wrong lane, you are supposed to stay in the lane you are in and proceed along it until you can turn around safely. That includes missing juctions etc..

I was behind someone the other day and moved to pass them on a roundabout, but they veered into my lane as they went around the roundabout.
 
You know what ticks me off? Besides the moron drivers talking on their phones and people at work who can't think two minutes past what they're working on right now and potholes and shopping malls and people texting while crossing the street and customer service reps who can't help me and can't find a supervisor and the neighbor kids playing basketball and blaring music and shooting fireworks all year round outside my bedroom window and various and sundry other things?

Restaurants, the ones we like, suddenly disappearing.

My wife and I have different work schedules, and sometimes when she's going to be late she'll stop by a place we like and pick up something for dinner. That works out well, except when we've decided on what we want to eat she finds that the place is boarded up, locked up tight.

It's usually a locally owned place, but two nights ago it was a chain fast food joint that we've frequented over the years. All of a sudden, it's gone.

Minor inconvenience, sure, but it's a PITA.

You guys have had roundabouts for ages, no?

Where I live in the U.S., we've just started getting some of them and I'm truly shocked there haven't been massive numbers of accidents at them. Lots of terrible drivers around here already.
 
^ There are a couple in downtown here; I'm always terrified that I'm going to get killed there, because people have no idea how to use them.

My latest pet peeve: no repair shops are open on Sunday here. Hey, guys, stuff still breaks on Sundays, too---like our heater in the winter or AC in the summer when it's 100 degrees out.
 
We have one mini roundabout here in my city. Just a few days ago I enter it and as I'm about to get to my turn, this big truck pulls infront of me, nearly hitting. The signs say that the driver in it has the rights of way and you're supposed to yield.


The roundabout, where it is located, comes in pretty handy. I wouldn't want them all over the city mind you.
 
Election season and people who expect you to be a one issue voter, and to agree with them on which is the best party to vote for on that one issue, and get all defensive and upset if you point out that their oh so glorious party has done absolutely nothing on that one issue in 30 years despite holding extreme majorities on occasion which meant they could literally get absolutely anything through parliament that they so choose.

I don't mind their views, but don't get crappy at me when I point out they're a bunch of liars who don't give a rats arse about the issue except when they're trying to get your vote.

Not so frustrated when they de-friend me on facebook though. That I was rather pleased about.

I could probably just sum up that frustration as election season.
 
Thankfully we are still 8-10weeks away ffrom when election season really kicks in for the UK General Election on 7-5-15.

Call my cynical but politcians are in it for themselves, with promises to try and win my vote.

But it's not their favorite thing!

back to topic.. I am frustrated by people being frustrated... relax it really is not that important ... ever.
 
They've struck again at Wal-Mart today.


You know what's a good place to stop and stand there hunched over your cart on a cellphone?

How about right infront of the Entrance doors?
