Bigsby Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Having to use up all my hot water because I need to "run my taps". The stupid people in the flat upstairs have somehow managed to get rust into the water tank, and the plumber has said I need to run the water until it's no longer discoloured granted my hot water is minging water now, but I'm annoyed that it's adding to my Hydro bill.Can't you just turn off your imersion or whatever you use to heat your hot water while you're doing it? Fair enough you lose whatever's in teh tank but probably only a bath's worth or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah it's off just now, it's just annoying that there's all that water wasted. But it seems to have done the job, no more rusty water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Another driving one, people who don't pay attention.Specifically the stupid mong when I was driving home last night that just assumed when the lights went green the entire queue of traffic in front of her was pulling over just so she could go through the lights first, rather than to let the ambulance with it's bright flashing lights and siren go past.

That's a contender for crappiest pet hate ever.It was more my the stupid workmen employed by my neighbour fucking things up, the result being a blocked pipe and then rusty water, that pissed me off.

A colleague of mine is from Mintlaw and her Facebook status updates are like solving some kind of word jigsaw. Then again, her voice makes me want to punch my own ears.

Incluiding the Irish, Australians, South Africans, Yanks etc. I am completely unaware I'm doing it until someone points it out. All throughout school in Abu Dhabi I had a yank accent apparently, apart from when talking to family, where my friends would ask me if I was just speaking English, and I'd be oblivious that my accent/voice had changed at all.

delboy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Some fucker at Royal Mail deciding my post is to be delivered mid afternoon. This started just before Christmas and must obviously be a permanent thing. Extremely irritating when you rent DVD's and want them first thing in the morning so you can watch them and get them in the post before the sorting office closes. I mean I live fucking opposite the sorting office! Christ I might suggest I go pick up my post myself! Then to add to my irritation, the fuckers took an extra day to deliver my rental DVD's this week meaning I'll only get 2 this week instead of the usual 4. Bloody hell they only come from Peterborough, some 60 miles from here! How on earth can it take 2 days to reach me? Probably gets routed via fucking Birmingham or something in another stunning decision of intellect made by some twat with a clipboard and a pen behind his ear.
