TICTH businesses in the USA (and quite possibly other countries, but it's the USA I'm dealing with the most at the moment and noticing) that continually quote prices as something 'plus tax' and won't tell me the grand total.

I don't really give a shit how much is going to you and how much is going to the government, okay? That's your fucking problem. I want to know much I've got to pay.

Thank God that this form of pricing is illegal in Australia.

This is because it is a variable. Depending upon the state and city.

Do these businesses not know where they are, then? Pretty bloody worrying, especially when I'm trying to book hotels.

And if the issue is not knowing where I am, it's pretty damn easy to set up your website to ascertain this. Plenty of sites do. I've dealt with UK sites that know to show me all prices without VAT because I'm in Australia and therefore not liable for VAT.

Some software does not actually calculate tax or shipping until you are nearly at the end of the process. This a actually makes sense as it does not assume you are ordering from your "ship to" location.

It's because municipalities frequently levy hefty hotel taxes -- 12% where I live -- and the hotels are trying to make their rates look lower. And there is no law against it here. Not that there shouldn't be, but hey, if that were the worst thing wrong with this country, we'd be golden.

For fucks sake! When you're given a wedding coat to alter, the idea is to actually ALTER the damn thing. And not seem surprised when the bride phones a week before the wedding to ask where it is. You are a prize idiot who deserves to be damned to hell and will be paying me the cost of the coat i may have to be buy to replace the glorious vintage lace one I orginally bought.

Thank God I still have the dress so the day won't be ruined by your idiocy.

Aren't you glad that X is in the world to compare yourself to? Otherwise you might not be aware of how impressive you are.

TICTH South African mother in laws that call you a bitch in the middle of a family dinner when you're explaining you couldn't visit her in hospital last year because you were having a personal meltdown because you had too much to do.

I also consign to hell the fact that as a daughter in law I was expected to visit her in hospital (for a fractured ankle ) whereas if the roles were reversed and my mother was in hospital my husband would not be expected to visit his mother in law because he was a son in law.

Fuck that shit.

I think I might have done this before, but TICTH Greyhound USA for having one of the shittiest websites I've seen in a long time.

Yes, I checked all the information about what I needed in order to buy a ticket. No, you said nothing about needing a phone number until I was halfway through the booking steps. No, I don't have an American phone number to give you. No, you didn't design your form to accept non-American phone numbers. Yes, I would take my business elsewhere if anyone else covered the same routes. Earlier on, by the way, you made finding out what your routes even WERE as laborious as pulling teeth.

TICTH teeth! Why couldn't God have chosen a more durable material than calcium to make them out of? One of mine broke at dinner last night (Sunday, of course, when the dentist's office was closed). I spent the night with a handkerchief stuffed in my mouth so the jagged edges of the broken tooth wouldn't cut my tongue as I slept. Saw the dentist this morning.

To the annoying little fucker who wouldn't leave my bar tonight: you were here when I came on shift. you stayed here all fucking night. I had to kick you out after closing. I quit serving you hours ago, yet you stayed. and stayed. and talked all fucking night. and then want me to go to your house? in your dreams, you little sad excuse for a man. die in a fire.

Dude, I've been hearing about your divorce and how you wuz wronged for 4 fucking years now. get the fuck over it. She's remarried. She has a baby, for fucks sake. move the fuck on. NOBODY CARES ANYMORE.

and don't tell me about how hard your $90K/year job is. fuck you. you work two weeks a month, make an obscene amount of money as a fucking cook in a cafeteria, and I'm sitting here on minimum wage listening to you whine and bitch and complain and I'm supposed to have sympathy because your cell phone gets no reception in your kitchen? FUCK. OFF.

and if you, you grotesque skeez, tell me one more time how hot you think my daughter is, I swear by all that is good and holy I will pee in your cuervo and smile happily as you suck it down because you won't be able to taste the difference, you slimy little scuzzbag.

and you know what? yes, my daughter is gorgeous. blood tells. she also shot your ass down and that just stings, doesn't it? I hope it stings like a motherfucker. because you don't even know that she is also smart, and fun, and talented, and kind, and all those things that really fucking matter. you claim you are her "friend" yet you know nothing about her except that she polishes up nice. fuck you. fuck you very much. fuck you with a broken fiberglass tent pole. coated in vinegar. and splinters.

I swear if you come back tomorrow and think you can spend my entire shift sitting here bugging me and never fucking leave and hang out when I close and generally act like a stalker, I'm going to clock out, take you off the premises, and beat you until you make squishy sounds when you walk.

Listen, sunshine, I'm sick of you being almost permanently on your mobile phone on public transport. You don't talk to people, you subject them to a long monologue where they can hardly ever get a word in edgeways.

This is annoying but frankly after tonight when you actually weren't on your mobile, but vigorously picked your nose, then ate it and sucked your fingers noisily for half the journey, I'd rather you were on the bloody mobile.

TICTH People who steal my jokes, Pet peeve. Husband used to do it all the time. You know how it is--you say something alone with them in a room, and the joke falls flat-- you think-- then two hours later they throw it out at a party like a pithy bit of spontaneous dialogue they just thought up?

Maybe only me, you and God know what a poser you are, but poser you are. And thank you for underlining that my jokes are worth stealing, because they so are.

Alternatively, news media that say 'the Church' and almost always mean the Church of England, and even then just the bit that happens to be shouting loudest and has caught their attention for their current news piece. (cf. Christian Voice, but other loud shouters may also apply).

Right now one of the side streets is being redone and they hit a water main and flooded it. Was meant to be opened again on 1st of May and no sign yet...

TICTH BT and their spam-like excuse for a wi-fi ssevice.

I am not your customer. I do not want to be your customer you thieving incompetent pseudomonopolistic bastards. I think I hate you even more than I hate IBM or Microsoft or EDF. (Though nowhere near as much as I hate Thames Water and almost all estate agents)

And maybe twice a day your fucking archaic excuse for a login web page grabs my mobile browser or my ipad and demands a password which I do not have because I would not want to be your customer and des not let go so if I want to get back to being able to do web browsing I have to turn WiFi off because you spamfuckers spam the entire of bloody London with your fucking spam shite you evil fucking spammers.

Crystallising it even more .
TICTH -- the 3 or 4 way temporary traffic lights used in town for road works which cause absolute chaos around 9.OOam .
Why not just turn them off for a hour an a half and have a freakin tea break. [Mad]

If, or when, this recession comes to an end it will take one shit-load of tar to put all our roads right.

You can't have the tar cos they are using it all in Lewisham.

A water main? Luxury!!!

While stripping the end of our road, they bisected the gas main. At Midnight. Causing the evacuation three streets.

Not much sleep to be had in a council office, I can tell you that.

TITCH my uncle, and my other overbearing family members who somehow think jobhunting is easy. When you're young, and graduated during a recession, and employers take months to get back to you, if they do.

I want to give the whole fucking world an attitude adjustment.

Feels a bit trivial after the previous post but TICTH Pickfords for losing my dustpan and brush and reacting by denying that they ever had them.
I also CTH everybody at IKEA involved in the design and manufacture of the dustpan and brush in my flat. How can you screw up something that basic?

TICTH toothache [Mad] . Why did You design teeth which get abscesses, so the tooth can't be fixed until the infection clears up?
