PAH!
Things that piss you off Page 549
Calling a Lloyds TSB call centre to re-set a payment plan for me to pay my overdraft as I have done every month since 2006 only for them to say that I now have to pay interest.
Told them no job, lost it last month.
Not our problem. Nice.
Looked at my ingoings and outgoings. Money not bowel movements.
Told me I had £50 spare a month.
I'd like to know where it is then.
They didn't even understand the meaning of the words court or fine.
Yes it was in India and the girls name was Rachael. I hung up in the end and called back. I spoke to 'Ben' who also told me that they didn't really give a shit how much I could afford to pay back and tried to make me agree to leave the account to build up daily charges and interest. I declined and stood my ground. though now I have to pay a tenner a month with only 3 coming off my overdraft and the other 7 covers interest.
THAT'S WHAT PISSES ME OFF!
WANKERS!
Sounds like you need to go into a branch.
Or move to NatWest, who only use nice, understandable, British call centres.
I do so loathe those Indians. 
I f**king hate banks.

I always end up getting an extreme Scottish man.
I hate banks AND phones.
I'm with Natwest. Who were fine to start off with, but after changing my interest payment date without informing me and causing me to spiral into debt whilst it's being sorted, I'm slightly resenting them now.

It's not like I even use Twitter that much, but there's one good reason to follow it less now.
Those are irritating. But if you go on the profile of the person who retweeted, you can turn off their retweet button thing which means you don't have to see it anymore.

Natwest sent me a letter telling me to activate my credit card or I'll lose it. They've never sent me a credit card. 
I signed up to Co-Op Bank. They sent me a debit card, turned out it was faulty, so they sent me another one, but never received a pin. Can't request a new one because I don't remember the password.

Microsoft seems to have discontinued the $150 Family (3-licenses) Pack for Windows 7 Home Premium. Now they want $290 for it!
Walmart's website said that 3 stores had some in stock so I drove 10 miles to the nearest one and they had none. So then I drove 14 miles to the next one and they had none. Then I drove 15 miles to the next one and bought the last one on the shelves. Then I drove 30 miles back home and Al Gore was waiting for me with an angry look on his face because of my carbon footprint. I kicked him in the balls and now I'm going to install the OS on my MacBook.

Always call ahead when it comes to Wal-Mart. Their instock counts do not account for theft, which for big ticket software is always high.

Especially in the neighborhoods where I found myself. I had to perform a gang initiation ritual before they'd let me in the building.

The whole being-owned-by-RBS thing does present a problem - but at least they're using the correct words, even if you can't understand through the accent.

Doctors re-scheduling appointments a week before hand but adding an extra 4 months onto it.
So getting a phone call on Monday.

That one. With added passion.
Nicky Campbell, Stephen Nolan, Jimmy Carr, Alan Green, Jonathan Ross, Frank Skinner, George Osbourn, George Galloway, Hip Hop music(sic), checkout operatives that want to make it a race between how fast they can scan and how fast you can pack, checkout operatives who tell you to put your pin in a nano second before it appears on the screen, people who insist on driving with their fog lights on when it's not foggy, dick heads who have coal scuttles for exhausts.
Oh, and Nicky Campbell.
And Frank Skinner.
I agree on 'Nicky' Campbell. Cock.
