    I want to do a bit of horse-trading with them, i.e. right, I'll see your outrageous rate-hike in exchange for unlimited 4G+ data. But horsing over to that bloody store of theirs is a pain in the hole. I suppose I'll have to do that. First World, wha'?? :pac:

    if you cancel your contract you can move to a PAYG sim that gives all you eat data for 30 days for €20. that has to be cheaper than what you are paying now.

    When someone tries to slowly and quietly eat crisps. Slowly rooting around a crinkling packet and slow drawn out munching

    Had to drag this one up

    There's a slow crisp muncher on my office floor right now....taking up to an hour to finish the packet. Sweet merciful crap :mad:

    Well how 'bout that - it turns out they have a "10% line rental discount for the remaining contract term", which in my case works out at about six Euro monthly. Pleasure doing business! :pac:

    Hah it all makes sense now!

    Let me add excessively loud keyboard typing to that list. The "Enter" button gets an extra heavy press for emphasis!

    Birdsong is a bit of a TA at the moment. I know it is lovely and sounds of spring and all that. But it starts so early and so loud.
    Needs me sleep.

    Especially the wood pigeons on my roof, they can just **** right off!

    Dog poo on my shoe. Even more TA is that I did not discover it until I got in the car. So Dog poo on the car mat too.

    When your luck is out it really is out.

    Saw a women push her childs buggy out onto the road to "test traffic" which of course stopped. Then stroll across no bother. Actually Ive seen this a few times over the years

    It's very effective at stopping traffic in a city and it's also reckless, thats my TA

    When app developers 'upgrade' their app to a newer API than my device supports, so google won't let me install it. I doubt if they're using any new functionality.

    Popped into a chemist's for paracetamol. The counter is at the very end, so to reach it I have to pass by a lady who's promoting some items Well, lady, when you're offering me some free skincare advice with your products, please refrain from staring at my skin, nobody likes to have their pores counted out out loud, not even figuratively speaking.

    Two TAs today:
    Getting work phone calls after 5pm, my personal phone and work phone are one, and it drives me nuts. Also people from different time zones making work calls to me before I'm even out of bed, so RUDE (I'm talking 7:30 am, I start at 9...)
    2nd is my contact lens has been driving me mental all day, keeps moving and slipping. Only had it in for 6 hours before I realized it was inside out :(

    A telecoms company in asia once quoted me 45 days to provide me with a phone number.
    So 45 days after I sent the PO I contacted them to see where the number was as I had heard nothing.
    "Oh no, it is 45 days from when we start working on it".

    FFS. :mad:

    The ONE morning in MONTHS that the baby has slept until 7.20am (a veritable lie in of epic proportions) the 4year old is up and worn a continuous trek into our room from 6.10am.
    SERIOUSLY!!

    When you're waiting to validate your parking ticket with minutes to spare to avoid going into a second hour and the person in front is fumbling with her ticket then her change and then decided to use a note but doesn't know where to stick it into the machine...I don't know how I kept my mouth shut..or wasn't arrested.
