You know what's worse than that?

One Friday I got a Cashier's Check for $5000 out of my savings account to buy a car. The teller went to great length to explain that the funds were deducted instantly from my account, because it was the same as cash once signed, and the funds were guaranteed to the person receiving the check.

Saturday I went to look at the car and declined to buy it.

Monday, I went back to the same teller at MY OWN BANK and re-deposited the check in the same account...

...and was told with a straight face that it would take 5 days to clear.

I don't how you deal with it... but that sort of thing REALLY annoys me. 5 days at your own bank?! That's insane. The last time I deposited a check it took 5 days to clear (and it occured incrementally -- $400, then x amount, then the rest).

I don't know why that happens, but my guess is because our deposits are considered liabilities on the banks balance sheet, they want to make it easier to get rid of it (quick debits), and harder to accumulate (slow credits).

My pet peeve... when something doesn't work the way I expect it to or want to. This can be a product I am using, or even my own ability at something. Earlier I was trying some recording for a song I am writing, and no matter how many times I tried I couldn't do the whole thing perfectly.... always tomorrow I suppose.

I know what you mean. Everytime I try to record sumtin on my guitar I screw it up bad, but if I'm just playin its always perfect.

Most of the attempts were good enough for say live playing... but none of them were perfect, and I demand perfection for anything I record. Good luck on your recording.
 
Might I add 'people that get in my way' whether it be in where I'm about to go walk, or just indirectly preventing me from completing my ambitions
 
Hearing people eat.
Heavy breathing.
Talking in third person. My stupid old Maths teacher used to do the last two. "Mrs Pryor doesn't like that! Mrs Pryor doesn't like this!" Mrs Pryor can **** off.

I also hate it at work (I work in the local supermarkets delicatessen) when the customers think they know the stuff better that I do. I work there, I know that if there's no damn sign on it, it's the same as the one in front of it.

I don't like most customers in general really. I'd just settle for I hate my job though.
 
Oh yeah, i hate it when people think that they know more about something than you do, when you in fact know way more about them about the subject and it's painfully obvious too. My friend and I were arguing about a certain name of some Indian food. I told him to **** off, as i'm Indian and he's not. things like that piss me off. why even argue about it if you know you're wrong?
 
Another thing my idiot maths teacher did that almost made me scream at her was when we were told to go to our usual classroom and when we did we found out about half an hour that our we were really in an unusual class so a group of about 5 of us went down and the teachers had a go at us about it and then told us to go get a late slip, even though they told us to go to our USUAL form room. That wasn't the annoying part though, the maths teacher was one of the ones crying at us, so we left and got about 30 metres down the path only to have her call us back and all she said was "you are being a disruption, hurry up and get those late slips!". W-T-F! We were well on our way and she called us back to tell us to go?!
 
A stranger walking (or riding a bike) very close behind me. I hate that.

I have a friend like that. He think he knows so much about cars and is always braggin about it. But he don't know s*** about cars. He bought an F'ing 86' Jeep Charokee that barely runs and is tryin to brag that he has a car first.

That and he always braggin about this "hot rod" hes supposedly gunna buy and fix up. Even though I tell him every time that it takes a ton of money to fix a car up and that it requires a job to get the money.

Oh well when I've got my Z-28 and hes still drivin a hunk of crap we'll se whos got the better car, and I do have a job that pays enough to buy a car unlike him.
 
Yeah, there's a few kids at my school who think they know a lot about cars when they really don't know squat. That's really annoying.

One thing that is annoying the absolute crap out of me right now though is both of my ears have infections and the drops I was given for it has blocked both of my ears. Now all I can hear is me eating and breathing, the things I hate most. :(
 
My friend who says that his dad is putting NOS in his van and my other friend who says his dad used to make lowriders and once he was taking one of his lowriders out to America, when it caught fire and exploded on the boat and he also says that his mum's Renault Espace diesel is faster than my dad's MG ZT-T (Dumb-ass)

and the ever popular...

People eating out loud
 
Being treated like a child.
People who drive at the same speed in town and outside town (and usually speed in town). I always drive at the speed limit in town and people are right up behind me (some people even overtake me while I'm doing the speed limit in town, that annoys me a lot too), then when we get outside of town and I start going a bit quicker they just disappear out of the rear-view mirror.
People who put on make-up whilst driving/stuck in traffic.
People who talk on phones/text whilst driving/stuck in traffic.
"You gotta love/hate ..." <--- I'll make my own mind up, thanks.
Prices rises in general.
Rain (well, weather in general in Scotland).
Violent animal rights protestors/activists.
NEDs/Chavs.
Boy bands.
People who think it's cool to stick a huge wing on their Civic (I really don't understand it).
Bad passengers in my car.
Being a passenger in a car that's being driven by a maniac (see above :) ).
The phrase "Happy New Years". Why "Years" and not "Year"?
 
It's a contraction of "Happy New Year's Day". Anyone who says "Happy New Year's" on a day other than 1st January though ought to be shot.

People who don't know **** trying to act smart and end up spewing BS everywhere...

Someone: What does U.S.S.R. stand for?
Me: Union of Soviet Socialists Republic.
Idiot #2: Its United Soviet States of Russia, retard.

Is that like the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics"? :D
 
- People who try to force their religion onto others
- Single mums that keep having children with different fathers & then claim more benefits.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These two are pet hates of mine, they are anti - sexual - distinction* - produce - more - human - fodder - catholic - et - al crimes against human rights .
pimpin's almost worth a buddy, bud i don't do that


*being implicitly anti-male w/out being pro-female. stereotyping then classifying males as have no sexual intelligence or procreational relevance. brutal, raping therefore deserving of female exploitations as they(f) endure under imbalances, all sheilded by murderous and blanket censoring religeous imponderables. Nobody care to step outside & see a pattern?
 
Yeah, people trying to force their religion on you is pretty freaking annoying. Even worse is the ones that do it at 8 in the morning on a Saturday at you door. C'mon, that's just not cricket.

What I find ironic about those people is that they'll happily cram their beliefs down your throat, but when you try to tell them about your beliefs, they get all flustered, not even wanting to listen.

My biggest pet peeve... people who get into the fast lane and then drive slow. Especially trucks.. we get that all the time around here. Big trucks that get into the fast lane and hold at 60mph (the limit is 70mph). Difficult to pass on the right because you can't tell if there's someone slower in that lane, and you have to deal with all the traffic getting on and off the highway. Granted, that's why the truck is in the left lane in the first place, but still.. he could at least speed up a little bit, ya know?

That, and people who ride my ass when I'm stuck behind a slow car. I tend to leave them in the dust once the slow car moves out of my way. It's funny.. they seem to be in such a hurry, and yet it's not 110mph+ hurry. Lazy slow bastards. :)
 
Okay...WHY THE %#@! (that's what my mind is thinking anyway) do banks have overdrafts?? Lets say you have 500 dollars in your bank account and you spend 500.01 on something...you are now (0.01) overdrafted...and then VERY TEDIOUS overdraft fees...

WHY CAN'T THE CARD JUST BE DECLINED IN THESE KIND OF INSTANCES?!?! :grumpy: :irked: :mad: :banghead: :ouch:
 
People who hog the entire sidewalk and even if you say excuse me, they won't move.
If i'm on my bike, i'll thump them in the back with my handlebar and tell them that they are assholes.
 
Elijah, they want their money. If there's something easy and then something that they can make money off, they'll take the money.
 
One thing (of several thousand) that really gnaws at my nerves is when people walk the exact same speed as me. Sometimes at school I'll be walking to class and take a peek over my shoulder at someone behind me. A couple minutes later, I'll peek again, and if they're in the exact same spot relative to me, it makes me want to punch them in the face. I don't know why.

Get a new bank with overdraft protection. My bank will pull from savings and if that is empty (God forbid) then they cover me up to a certain amount with no charge, unless I don't pay it back within a certain time frame.

The other option is to budget and know exactly where your account stands at all times. I haven't worried about overdraft in a couple of years, I also have no new debt.
