"Things that get you mad"by John Evans
Things that get you mad
1. People who say “I will ring you back”, and don’t.
2. You plan to mow your lawn after a few days, or a week or so, of nice weather, and it rains!
3. You arrange with a company to have repairs or modifications carried out on your home, and nobody turns up on the scheduled day. They don’t even contact you to let you know.
4. You are waiting patiently to move into a parking space that a driver is vacating, when suddenly someone unseen by you races in first.
5. You are a good way through writing a letter to a relative or friend, when suddenly the ink in your pen runs out. You don’t have a black or a blue pen to match.
6. You are out shopping with your wife (or husband), and you decide to go your separate ways for a while. You arrange to meet up later by using your mobile phones to contact each other. Alas, someone has a flat battery.
7. You place an on-line order through a web-site. After patiently filling in all the necessary details you press, submit, and nothing happens.
8. You phone for a taxi, are informed by the radio operator “ It will be with you shortly” and have to re-dial half an hour later to confirm (or complain)
9. (For the ladies) After spending quite some time preparing and styling your hair for an evening out, you step outside out of the house, and there is a gale blowing!!!
