People coughing without covering their mouths on the tube. Bad enough at the best of times but for crying out loud, there's some nasty viruses going round at the moment.

Politicians, when asked a straightforward question, answering "I think the real question is..." then spout some pre-rehearsed shite.
NO.
The real question is the fucking one you were asked, moron.
(And interviewers who don't make them answer the question)
Taxis. Knobs. It's Mirror Signal Manouevre. Not Manouevre.

Automated telephone services, when you can't speak to anyone, and when you have been hanging on for hours you get cut off

Sheets, I've heard the trick with automated telephone services is to call the sales line since they'll want your dosh sooner than your query/complaint and then get put through to where you want to be.
Heard this solution on a radio prog and have tried it and it worked  (It was a complaint about billing to Sky, btw)

sounds like a conversation I once had with BT, trying to pay one thing (my then housemate had thrown away the bill and not told me he hadn't paid it while I was on holiday) and set up something else.
after a tortuous process, I paid the bill and the guy says, I'll transfer you to do XYZ now (which involved another payment)
The person in charge of XYZ sorts it all out, takes ages longer, all on my mobile phone and then she says 'oh we can't accept more than one payment a day from you' WTF???? what? I sat here all this time and YOU CAN'T HELP ME! why didn't the first person tell me that when he knew I needed to make another payment? why can't I pay for more than one thing in one transaction?
The words 'I think I would like to cancel my account with you' seemed to be quite magical as it turns out their system could, after all, accept another payment.
