    Things that raise the blood pressure

    People who leave long rambling voice messages and finish the call by saying their phone number so quickly you have to play the long rambling message five times before you can get it.

    Stupid, semi-literate continentals who dial wrong numbers because they can't tell the difference between a 7 without a line through it and a 1.

      Usually agents. Get your own back calling them out of hours and leaving a message about needing 20 contractors by Monday and then mumble a phone number quickly at the end

          Did the message go something like this.

          "Dim, please let us back into the house dear, we think that it is very unfair that you still have not left home at the age of 48. We have retired now and we really want to move on with our lives and we want you to as well. You don't have squatters rights and we really don't want to ring your little sister to come and pound on you again like she did last week. And yes she is our favourite, for obvious reasons. Now call us back, you know our number we are your parents and apparently there is nothing we can do about that under British or European Law"

          ....beep
          Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

          Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

              Idiots that drive around with masses of snow still on the roof of their cars as they are too stupid or lazy to remove it.

              6 points on your license for doing so, or a possible prison term if it comes off and causes an accident on the public highway or hits a pedestrian.

              The police here are pulling them over and making them clean the cars off. they should be booking them and handing out lifetime driving bans
              Confusion is a natural state of being

                  The UI of all Sat Nav systems.

                  It's clear no usability testing has ever been done on a Sat Nav GUI.
