Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

People who don't read their emails correctly then throw their toys out of the pram.
I mean the woman who threw a paddy and complained to my boss that I wasn't answering her emails fast enough and not picking up my colleges workload when he is away.


It was MY out of office you were getting you stupid cow.

By the time I made it to Old Street I'd run the gauntlet of the RAF and at least three Army units (not sure where the Navy were today).
I headed down to Tower Hill later to see the poppies at the Tower of London with CMSD2. The crowds were huge, all the servicemen including my local Anglia Regiment from Colchester were there and it's quite a sight. Loads of kids there having a look, I really hope their parents explained what it all means, and why every one of those 888,246 poppies means they have the freedom to run around London today.

The bloke selling me the acrows still hasn't responded to my 3 emails requesting an address where I can pick them up and pay him. I keep looking out for him attempting to sell them separately etc.

Seriously, if you want a price set a reserve. Otherwise if it doesn't make much, it is because that is all people are prepared to pay.
