I know, its frustrating to buy something like that and find its the wrong thing. Ive done that with car parts.

That bugs me too, if someone has no intention of doing something they should say so instead of making promises they wont keep. I would probably think they were a butt-wipe, but not as big a butt-wipe if they promised to do it and didnt.

I just tried selling a few more games on eBay and was told that i had reached the "limit" for selling in that category and cant sell a game for 30 days! All because im a "new seller and reputation has to be built up". I can sell books, Ipods and clothing etc but i dont have many of those items so now i have to wait a month before selling a game again, stupid :twisted:

^ wow that sucks, I didn't know Ebay did that. Although I've only sold books through Ebay, it seems a bit silly that they wouldn't let you sell the games.

Automated answering messages.

When i ring up my broadband company i expect the usual 3 minute "For billing qs press 1 etc" delay but UPC really take the p!ss. All i want is to speak to a human being but they try to get you to hang up by delaying you so long your frustration gets the better of you. I pressed 1 for billing enquiries and was loaded with 4 minutes of "Did you know we are now online and we offer....blah blah" If i wanted my problem answered online i would have gone to the website already. Then they bombard you with info about online payment options or promotions. I just want a simple question answered by a flesh and blood person :twisted: :twisted:

Seriously annoys me and by the time you get through to a person you are wound up rotten.

Larvae and figs... or anything that looks like larvae or that there could be some kind of larva in it.
And people who call me on the phone (not the people themselves, just the phone call).
