TICTH endless impossibly short deadlines.
The reason we told you the work would be done on that day is because that is when it could be done. We're not faffing around for the sake of it, we're working as fast as we can. We're already doing stupid amounts of overtime. That's not the point. The point is that you are not the only person who wants things done immediately. And our work takes time. And currently we can't actually do more than one thing at once. And the longer you spend pestering us for an earlier date, the longer it will take us to do what we are supposed to be doing today, and the later the deadline will be.
(I'm not grateful for the work - we all are - we just need more reasonable deadlines so we can all catch up on some sleep)

TICTH stupid neoprene elbow brace that itches, is hot, hurts and makes it darned near impossible to drive, brush my hair or wipe my ass. It sucks, but I know it's the only way mu stupid frigging elbow will ever get slightly better. I still HATE it!
ETA, I also hate being old and broke down enough to need a brace in the first place ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

TICTH padlocks clearly labeled for "Outdoor use" that obviously weren't tested in Oregon's verdant hills. THREE bloody months after installing it on my outdoor fuse box, when I go out to reset the breaker I blew it's rusted completely shut!
(I cut off the hasp and got to the breaker that way. I have power tools and I'm not afraid to use them in my pyjamas at 9am on a holiday.)

TICTH Drivers. You, the bastard who feels the need to cram in the small space front of me instead of the vast open space behind, gaining 1/3 a second farther down the road as the whole rest of the motorway is jammed. And the fucking moron who was content going slow until I passed him after which he decided we are in Grand Prix contention and must pass me at all cost, becoming a major danger to the drivers he was careening around.* And You, going half the speed of everyone else. If you are afraid of driving at speed, get off the road, you are a danger. Use public transport, you will live longer and so will the rest of us. And, Madam, if you cannot drive in your lane, what makes you think you will drive better half-way in mine?
The lot of you, and more, who all decided to join me on my journeys today.
*Especially true since I began driving a MINI. Particularly Mercedes and BMW drivers. Can anyone explain this? I passed the same in my Toyota RAV 4, no such reaction.

TICTH digital television. Now that the weather's turned cold again I have the choice of watching the stations in Cubist mode, with clicks and squeaks, or blank screens. I have an indoor aerial and booster and they aren't helping.
I really wish they'd just have left television alone and on analogue. The picture might have been snowy at times, but the reception since going digital has been so consistently bad that it seems like a rip-off having to pay for a TV licence when half the time you can barely see the programmes.

Never, in 63 years of living, have I ever felt the need to own or use a garbage disposal unit.

This time, Frodo has a huge infection in his neck and I'm worried.
But if I find out who that dog belongs to, I'm going to rip a hole in his neck with my teeth. control your fucking beasts.

TICTH fricking Grandstand commentators and their inane obsessions with odd-sounding (in their opinion) town names.
It's "Queanbeyan". Chyah. We got it the first time. And the time after that.
Stop clogging up the entire session's cricket commentary with your adolescent jokes about Queen-bees and King-bees and Worker-bees and pollination and fertilisation and reproduction. Presumably (and perhaps that was my first mistake) you were hired for this gig because of your remarkable balance of cricketing smarts and your skill with a squishy, black, bulbous thing on the end of a stick, and NOT your riotously witty and relevant sense of humour.
