No this isn't a moan Maidstoned, I'm spitting feathers mad about this one.

My mobile phone company (AT&T) has put me into a different data usage plan without asking me, informing me or pre-warning me. All because I went over my allotted data usage for one month (with they automatically charged me $15 for an extra 1GB to cover the overage).

The plan they have upgrading me to allows 4GB rather than the 2GB I have had for 6 years and only exceeded one time because my wife did not realize that using her phone to watch CNN while not on the home Internet used up all the data... she has been educated!

I talked to AT&T (in India - don't get me started on that) and was advised that the change was system generated to provide me with a plan better suited to my usage! All because I went .3 of a Gig over one time in so many years. The kicker is the data usage fee went from $25 for 2GB (2 phones) to $75 for 4GB (2 phones).

I'm waiting to see a monthly bill before following up on this... right now they can have there phones back and stick them where the sun don't shine!

You need the "Things that make you spit feathers" thread

Previous owners laying copper gas pipes and radiator pipes directly into concrete with no sleeve, I now have my kitchen floor dug up trying to find a gas leak.

[QUOTE=Bluewater eagle;1498501 I now have my kitchen floor dug up trying to find a gas leak.[/QUOTE]

Didn't you try lighting a match ?? :confused:

We've had the same issue with water lines going through the house's concrete slab. Had to dig up a bathroom floor.

Out of genuine curiosity how would running the gas pipes though a sleeve have helped?

Protection from punctures and structural movement, plus the corrosive effects of metal in direct contact with concrete?

That's pretty much what I suspected. I may have been thrown by the fact that if there is a leak when inside a sleeve you would still have to dig the area out I would have thought.

It's the acid in the concrete that eats through metal, if you cover it then it should never leak unless you have some dodgy connections.

Dont they do the coloured smoke trick anymore?

Yesterday a bloke came to deep clean the oven.

Now if we switch it on it trips out the electricity to the whole house. He won't answer the phone or return his voice mails.

Twat.

Don’t take it personally. His electric’s probably off.

Well my plumber didn't, the problem was there was 20ft of it under a foot of concrete

Being stuck at f*c*ing work on a Saturday when Palace are at home to Liverpool :( Bah. I've gone to Spoons to drown my sorrows. I might order a 30p banana?

Corbyn - gormless, spineless, useless.

I hate Daily Mail idiots.

Things that annoy you
 

Actually I read the I Paper & have as much disdain for Johnson.
Anyway, Elon Musk - seems kind of creepy.

That dirty nonce boxing MC with the long hair. He's an ugly creepy c*nt and he's shit at the job.

Wait. You had someone out to clean your oven ?

Kin ell

They're civilised down south, they dont just have a pit they make fire in :D

:supergrin:

At least we have the ability to clean our own pits !

Vloggers. Grown men going to a game of football jabbering shit. Just go to the game, enjoy seeing your mates and regulars and switch off for a few hours. "Harvey" as he calls himself is crying out to be on the sex offenders register. I was told he had to move from Block B last season as the regulars didn't appreciate him and his camera.
By all means do a post match review from the comfort of your house, but is there really a need for a 30+ year old man to do this? I think not.

Same here.They spend more time talking to their phone than watching a game.
Also, the name 'Harvey' for a Palace fan.
Bet he wasn't born in bang 'ole.

Spot on, not seen one of these self possesed idiots come off well in these things.

We have to give the northerners jobs somehow.

I am not down South.

It gers a deep clean every year or 18 months, they take the whole thing apart and clean right down inside every bit you can't get at otherwise.

Cancelled trains fvcking me over everywhere. Yorkshire on Friday, south London on Sunday.

Look at that facial hair :love:

There is a young girl on Youtube who supports Bolton ,who is sometimes ok. Then there is this moronic father and son pair who also support Bolton who basically post the same version of what the girl does a few days later. Not to mention that **** who got banned by the weed. :jerkit:

And fvcks your leccy up at the same time

Supermarket Party Food - especially this time of year. M&S, Tesco and the rest can miniaturise whatever bollox they want, it's just all so unsatisfying. You might as well bake the cardboard box it all comes in as well.

Losing the Garmin Zumo of the motorbike this morning:veryangry:veryangry

My BIG hate. I would accidentally leap up in excitement and send the phone down a few seat rows if he was next to me.

Hotels.com
I made a booking with them for two rooms. One for me another for my customer. He paid me the money it was simple convenience. Can we get two receipts? NO I have tried and tried I am a gold tier member. Well thats the last time I bother with them their Customer service is shocking.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

What’s that, BBC? You don’t get to show any decent live sport during the year so you’re going to wank yourselves silly over your own ghastly award show?

You make a good point. I am old enough to remember watching Ali on Sportsnight. It's all gone.

BBC are an embarrassment when it comes to sport and SPOTY is cringeworthy bollocks

People who use sat navs everyday ie on their daily communte. You drive the same route everyday.

An excuse would be it keeps them out of traffic but I agree with this.

So true.

Chewing gum after 30 seconds

Maybe obsessed with the ETA feature... traffic conditions etc.. But yes, seems odd.

On my speed awareness course they advocated this to keep concentration on common journeys.

I do regular journeys, but not commute, and use it every time. It gives me my ETA so I can call if there is a snarl up and I'm going to be late or miss my ferry so I can rebook and not have to sit on standby for hours. It gives me alternative routes, if said snarl up is a problem. BUT most of all it tells me where the bastards have set up their cameras.

Block B is chock full of total c*NTS. As is block A.

*Harvey is also a c*nt.

Sterling nominated...make sure to tick all the PC boxes.

I still use map nav if I don't know the manor(Awaits Maidstoned reply):hi:

Given your age maybe you shouldn't wait too long....

long as the sun's in the right direction and I know the Longitude I'm fine:)

Thats rather advanced technology for you....

Arseholes who open their blinds on overnight flights

Never knew Ryanair had any overnight flights...

Ryanair have blinds?

The fact that he’s been the best performing British football this year has nothing to do with it?

Things that annoy you
 

It’ll go to Stokes, which is probably right. If Hamilton wins his 7th title he absolutely needs to win it.
*I realise this has absolutely nothing to do with the point your were making.

Stokes is the obvious pick, with KJT and Asher Smith behind imo. Hamilton is phenomenal, but he’s won sports personality before, and obviously a championship isn’t a new, groundbreaking feat for him, unlike what the other 3 have achieved.

I can't stand him too much after the ball thuggery.

I don't think they cover the last bit on the course :-)

I use the maps app everyday. The commute might be the same but traffic is different and always direct's you to the quickest route. Why would that annoy anyone ?��

Sports Personality comes from the brand new arena in Aberdeen this year, about 2 mins from my house.

Not sure if its been mentioned before........but those bikes for hire that have appeared in London randomly placed on pavements get in the way and invariably end up on their sides.

I assume they are competition for the Boris bikes, but I've never seen one being used yet.

I've seen them being used a lot; and I think they should be (part of) the future of urban travel. I agree, however, that something needs to be done about how they are left when not in use.

Award ceremonies really piss me off.

The rich and famous pat each other on the back and award prizes for being rich and famous.

Can you invite SC up for the weekend, making sure he brings his socks and snooker balls and wait outside until Gary Line Aker comes out and do his swede in?

Please ?

He’ll have to get in the queue....

£180 for threatre tickets

It’s an awful indictment on our society. The already grotesquely and unfairly rewarded being rewarded some more.

A woman today on the train was annoyed at me for looking over some bloke's shoulder at his laptop; he was working on an excel spreadsheet. She looked utterly perplexed and indignant, which only served to make me more determined to keep looking at it. I've noticed similar before when looking over people's shoulders at their smart-phones. I'm so defiant over this issue that I've learnt to pull silly faces behind their backs, like I'm totally engrossed in what they're doing.

It's a public space FFS. Where I choose to rest my eyes has nothing to do with anyone. It's entirely the user's responsibility.

Muppet deserves to have you looking over his shoulder. Shouldn't be working on a laptop in a public place. GDDR and all that. You never know who's looking.

Was sat next to a girl on northern line a few weeks ago. She worked for barclays. I know that because she logged onto her work account and worked when she got a link to the Internet at each station. Even with my poor eyesight I saw peoples names and details.

So you continue to look over people's shoulders, you may find out something useful :p

Apart from if it's in a van with Neil Shipperly.

People who work in HR and recruitment are particularly bad for this. Once on the tube I saw someone looking at the CV of someone who worked for my company. Fortunately I wasn’t his boss!

Which is exactly what the Tories said when blocking the upskirting bill :D

On a train waiting to leave Victoria one night, I heard a call from someone in the same carriage telling someone on the phone that all his team had just been made redundant :veryangry

Ian Wright on I'm a celebrity get me out of here moaning,sulking bully

These two divs on the train yesterday who decided to take two whole tables on either side of the aisle rather than share and then talk extra loudly due to the gap. They were talking about not paying tip for waiters at restaurants as standard as if it was crazy to do so. They were saying that it’s tough as a student.

I regretfully due to them annoying me for 50 minutes broke and said something to point out that is pretty bad behaviour and that either as a student you have no excuse. If you can pay to dine you can pay the tip, I qualified my outburst with you have said this so loud the whole carriage can hear, that I could do anything but not hear. They didnt have the brain power to react and just just started giggling, like idiots.

I did regret my action as they will go on in their lives being divs and it’s not good to confront strangers but their view of the world was very entitled and it did shut them up.

Who knew?!

James Haskell’s tactic seems to be that everyone else has to either keep away from Wright (not easy in a camp) or facilitate his mood until he’s happy and upbeat again.

Rearranging my day do take my daughter to see Lewis Capaldi in Southampton tonight and having a beer with friends and he’s just cancelled the jock twat (Capaldi not my mate)

These people in the future

People who have had their Christmas tree up for two weeks.

BLACK FRIDAY.
The day of the year that proves that we as consumers are being unmercifully ripped off for the other 364.

No not 364 but 365 days. Sod all that I wanted was in the black Friday sale.

Someone’s reaction being described as a ‘takeaway’.

*****

When the cold weather causes a runny nose and I haven't got a tissue. Mildly annoying.

Sitting next to people who have a runny nose but no tissue. Very annoying.

It's sitting in front of them that you want to worry about :)

Automated chat bots! Is bad enough when you have 1 for this and 2 for that when you call but this new thing of having no one on the end of a chat function is ******* stupid. I JUST WANT A HUMAN TO SPEAK TOO

Swedes.

The vegetable, not the people.

Pointless bloody things. Rock hard. You need a f*ckin chainsaw to cut them up.

Try boiling them then mashing them. Butter, little bit of salt and plenty of pepper. Makes a better mash than a potato does (albeit completely different from mashed spuds).

That's how they end up - very nice too. Just got to get them into manageable-sized lumps first :(.

I've come across that recently. They appear restrained to only answer FAQ's. If your question is not one of the FAQ's you are screwed. And if it is a FAQ, the link it gives you is probably one you already have looked at and not come up with a satisfactory answer.

Very frustrating.

As if the Black Friday emails weren’t bad enough, there’s now a shower of Cyber Monday stuff. And it’s pointless because I just delete it all.

Let’s all email back these companies tomorrow with a storm of repeat messages telling them ‘it’s BOG-OFF Tuesday!’.

Todd Cantwell - head-too-big-for-his-body, rubbish-goal-celebration-dance, aliceband-wearing tosspot.

ABSOLUTELY what’s the point :veryangry

That is not fair on Noel Cantwell......he died several years ago, on the other hand ..Todd Cantwell!!!!!!!!!

“please can I get” when ordering something. Whats that about? What happened to “please may I have?”

Thank you! I'll go back & edit accordingly :p

:wallbash: completely agree. "Can I get a latte?" Of course you can, you are in Costa you idiot.

Do you remember those mini footballer models that you could get ? We had them in the club shop for a while.

Imagine his big head on one of those !

Americanization of our language.

A truthful answer from the staff would be, I certainly can but as we are in a Costa it will be overpriced an shit.
