everyone agrees
that the most irritating thing in the world is when the cocking hand rail on escalators goes slower than the rest of it.

and also what really, really fucking gets me is when pissed people try and talk to me. they usually are trying to be funny and make some offensive comment that is okay because they are only taking the piss innit. if i wanted to fucking talk to them i would... well, i wouldn't. so why don't they fuck off? oh and they are always really scary looking too, so you have to make some kind of positive reply otherwise they will give you a shoeing. i know i am a lanky, speccy goon, but seriously.

but my number one irritation (which pretty much everyone, including/especially me, is guilty of) is people not looking at both sides of a situation. it's hard to blame someone for not taking the time to think 'what if it were me', but it's still annoying. having worked in a call centre, more exactly on the complaints and technical team, i can say as a fact that being nice to the customer service people WILL get you further, and being horrible WILL make them hate you. and also if they say 'that just isn't possible', they are not shitting you. unless you have already been a twat during that call.

thanks, cartharsis and all that.

I read somewhere that
having the hand rail go slower is a mandatory safety requirement, because having it go faster is dangerous and the technology's not accurate enough to have it go at exactly the same speed.
