TICTH the Nine Network in Australia for their complete inability to have a properly working episode player on their 'catch-up TV' website. The other four networks can do it, so why the blazes does yours work so badly?

TICTH Facebook.
On one of my rare logins I saw a note on a friend's page; "Why is Facebook wishing her a happy birthday when she died last November?" I didn't know she had died.

People have called God to Hell, Erin to Hell, The Ship to Hell and (I think) Hell has been called to Hell.
So long as it doesn't cause a board war, any damn thing can be called to Hell, except I suppose Satan and Nixon, who are already there for sure.

In fairness, unless they are notified they can't be expected to know.
I understand that they do need some proof however (for understandable reasons). I can understand why you find this a painful experience though.
Ok, ok not very hellish.

TICTH b/f of a new neighbour.
b/f surreptitiously peeks into each and every car the length and breadth of our street, on a regular basis; his taste in music is appalling and yet generously shared with the entire street; behaviour towards g/f leaves much to be desired.
Does the command to love our neighbours Have to include their Significant Others?

Bloody bipolar. Even a frog quietly croaking in the garden has me screaming in frustration at the low tolerance I have for any noise currently. All things bright and beautiful not.

TICTH hay fever. I normally get fairly mild hay fever sometime around the beginning June. But just yesterday it started kicking in, a month early, and it's the grandmother of all hay fevers. By last night (when it was way too late to go out and stock up on antihistamines) every bone in my body was aching, I had a hammering headache and a head full of phlegm. This morning I've crawled into work where I can happily spend much the day in an enclosed office with air conditioning that filters out most of the Pollen from Hell.
I concur with the previous poster on the subject of all things sodding bright and sodding beautiful. Bastards, the lot of them.

TICTH - Electric kettles, normal and rapid boil.
Devil take the lot of them - they arrive in this house and die within 13 months but always just out of the warranty period.
I've bought yet another new one - 6th since 2008 : if this one dies I'll go back to the whistling on the hob variety.

TICTH (well, not really, but...) the older guy upstairs who seemed have gotten "lucky" last night and decided to make the most of it. They seemed have been all over the room above me with lots of bumping, stomping, furniture shoving-around, and inarticulate groans and cries- possibly some of the BDSM variety. Frankly, I'm in awe of his stamina, but it made for a very long night.
8:30 AM and it's still going on. I'm tired. ![[Snore]](graemlins/snore.gif)

There was a corridor between the kitchen and living room in my previous home. If both doors were shut I couldn't hear the kettle whistling, and burned out two on the hob before giving in and buying an electric one...

Tradespeople who don't get back to you when they said they would and are not clear when they are coming. Yeah I have nothing better to do with my day than hang about waiting for you.
The rain. My roof has sprung a leak and is dripping into my kitchen. A friend says there is little that can be done about it but I just may have to ring yet another tradie (sigh).
March was the wettest since records began here and April isn't much better.

The BNP. (can I say that?) For their broadcast tonight, among other horrors using 'soldiers' at a memorial and the name of Lee Rigby as channels for their vile outpourings. The only reason I'm not C them TH for this is that I don't know for sure that it's true. Surely even they wouldn't stoop low enough to produce something so vile it would inevitably be censored just so they could then play the martyr about being 'denied freedom of speech'?

Trivial, compared with the above.
The external hard drive I use to record programes from my bedroom TV, or possibly the software on that TV.
The TV reports it needs to be reformatted with loss of all recordings, which it will not display. The drive still contains them, and I can view them on my downstairs computer. If I keep it to do that, I can't record any more until I've watched them all. Or else I have to buy another HDD to use instead.

TICTH the thinking that it is acceptable to risk this happening when pursuing the ideology of the death penalty. If you are really convinced you have to kill people (crap idea, but that's another thread) you need to do it fast and clean. This is just barbaric and horrific. Yes, their crimes were too, but the state should not be emulating them.

TITCH the stupid mindless drones in the payroll department who think the days I rostered myself on as available for work and they didn't give me any count as days I worked for when calculating Public Holiday Leave. That's more than half the "days worked" in the year. Which means I am paid for my public holiday leave at less than half the minimum wage.
A second slap in the face for someone who has been struggling to survive for the past months they have found me no work. Grr. Still job hunting.

Management attempts to force...sorry foster...solidarity, purpose and values in companies.
We now have "rules of the game" which we all had to agree to and which must be printed and stuck up on the wall next to our desk.

For rejecting the idea of open dissent and replacing it with telling others what to do and think. For introducing a fifth pillar of evangelicalism.

I'll CTH any management behavior that makes employees feel like five-year-olds, including the one I had imposed on me: "Let's go around the table at every meeting and share one insight or success we've experienced in the past week."
