Default The most frustrating things in life ... Name yours

I'll kick off with Indian call centres especially when you get someone at the other end whose english aint good, the icing on the frustration cake is when you finally get through to them what the problem is they aint got a scooby doo.

Ive just spent the last half an hour trying to resolve something and i'm probably further away from trying to sort it out than i was when i picked up the phone.

Total lack of understanding of the common man by (any) current government.
They seem to lack *any* common sense.

There are so many frustrating things around that the only way is to learn to ignore it all.

frustrating, being stuck in traffic, the wasting of tax payers money, the lack of alternative to our current political parties, and the lack of common sense in decision making.

worrying = the economic/employment future that my kids will be facing.

As above I feel my life is micro managed by the government, pretty much everything we do is controlled/taxed/guided/taken over/banned or better still caught on cctv!
We have no control of ANYTHING regardless of views, how ironic that in our democracy we can change or alter nothing! Voting has become a farce with one bunch of rich kids slagging off another and changing nothing for the good of hard working individuals.

Drive down a road and you see Slow down signs etc you know the one's you never see abroad and why is this? Their government assumes their population can see what's in front of them!

I'm even controlled as to what I choose to put in MY kids lunch box FFS!

Our government thinks everybody is stupid hence these silly rules and makes everybody live by them!

I think we should have a common sense committee that sits in on parliament like a jury and they have the last say in what gets past!

Self important ar$holes, the world is littered with them and most peoples lives are controlled by them in one way or another.

Educated idiots are also up there, and a combination of the two is the scurge of the planet.

Work - literally wanting to leave my job on a daily basis, or go back in with an Uzi.

Without shadow of a doubt my biggest frustration is myself. I don't apply myself, I don't care about stuff even though sometimes I think I do and I can be an absolute boring waste of space. Knowing all this, I am not willing to do anything about it. I just wait for the moment to seize me rather than try to seize the moment for myself.
