What is hacking you off today?

People who walk along the pavement shouting into their phone whilst the phone is on speaker. Why do people think we all want to hear every word of their conversation?

They are in supermarkets too discussing what to have for their evening meal and showing pictures to choose from.

I'm always tempted to stand right next to people like that and play music loudly on my phone!

Of course, the other option is to join in their conversation!

British Gas, incompetency at the highest level?. My son had booked an appt with them today for his gas boiler to be serviced, they said anytime between 8am-1pm, so he arranged to work from home today.
They phoned at 11am, said they were running late ( ! ), & could they come round after lunch?. He said he was having his hair cut at 2pm, so re-arranged for 2.30pm.
At 2.05pm whilst having a trim his phone rang & it was the Gas Board saying they were outside his home, & getting no answer from ringing the doorbell?. He explained the earlier discussion he'd had with them, which the guy confirmed by checking his laptop.
Then the guy said they couldn't wait until 2.30pm, despite agreeing this time 3 hrs earlier, & told him he'd have to re book & make another appt FFS!.
What a way to run a company??.

Sounds about right .
