Sadly, I probably have a few but to kick off, WHY do the ticket desk at MAJOR railway stations only have 2 people serving on a busy Friday night? Especially when you can SEE other staff milling around but not opening the blinds on their stations.

Tesco don't do it, they'd lose customers if they did. I had to wait 20 minutes to hand over £154 for my travelcard on Friday. So it's not as if I'm paying for some cheap, incredibly efficient, marvellous service, I just want to buy a ticket to travel on the fking train, that's all. And I won't have time on Monday morning. And they MUST know they're going to be busy on Friday nights. And when I said "I'd like to complain please" I was given a leaflet to fill in. And even if I can be arsed I'll probably get a letter saying

Dear WWW
We're sorry your customer experience failed our usual high standards. We are busy on Friday nights and would suggest you buy your tickets at another time. you can buy a ticket up to a year before travel.

yours most insincerely

customer service fuckwit

AAGGGGGGGGGHHH. And that's when the trains are running, Silverlink are striking EVERY Friday. (which I recognise is their right, blah blah but still grrr)

Stupid cows who piss on toilet seats.

The idiot laws which prevent me shooting to kill tailgaters, and people that don't indicate. And the twats in (invariably) Audis that form an apolplectic queue behind me whenever I do something unforgivably inconsiderate like driving at 30 mph in a 30 zone.

YES parents who drop their children off at school right in front of the school gate, causing traffic mayhem, and nearly knocking over everyone else who parks and walks!! What makes them think they're so special??!

YES those parents who seem to be oblivious to their children's hair being rife with nits.

YES to rude, arrogant receptionists.
