When you call to make a sales pitch, speak clearly, don't mumble! mumbling gets on my tits......
 
EFT's that take forever to clear and show up in the recipient's account (I'm looking at you, Standard Bank).

Surely in the year 2017 things like this should be instant or at least not take x amount of working days? SBSA loves to use 'security checks' as an excuse but to be honest is there really anything to check?
 
People who are late.

I am currently sitting at a restaurant and waiting for my date. We have been hanging out and it is kind of new.

He is 30 minutes late.

I am a dude and I don't want to come off as mean. I will say it is cool but i am pissed off. He asked me to hangout, at least be here on time.

Greet him, make idle chit chat for 5 mins. Tell him you have a commitment elsewhere and bid goodbye. He'll get the hint.

Have to agree, if you really are running late at least let the other party know. Otherwise it is just plain rude.
 
Opel pretending to be a premium brand when in fact it is just a Chev with a different badge.
 
When the title of a Youtube video ruins a series you haven't yet finished watching.

He was a total of 45 minutes late. He did whatsapp me and tell me not to leave.

I stayed for about 10 minutes, had a coffee and left. I was polite and visited a friend afterwards.

He was late due to a work issue.

I don't think we will hangout again cos it was a turn off.

Edit : I ignored whatsapp messages today. I think he gets the picture.

Yip, Standard bank is slow... Can't believe it is still the same in this day and age.

Absa is just as irritating, when you deposit money you have to give your whole pedigree inclding ID full names etc, makes no sense for me!
 
Losing a whole week on a production bug and finding out it has absolutely nothing to do with my code. Some plonker up'ed the version of Sigil and it does not work with our REST calls.

Makes you feel so hollow when you come to a conclusion like that.
 
When you get to a non working device at home that was working when you used it earlier. Then you ask the partner and she shrugs her shoulders and says 'I dunno'.

What the actual ****.
 
Having a manager (Top Exco manager) that loves to piss people off. Actually gets joy out of it.....
