Re: Things that annoy you!

Surveys! They drive me nuts.

Every bloomin' thing we buy, we are expected to write a survey on.
Most of them I won't do, but I do an occasional one, like this morning for example.
I had a parcel delivery from Hermes.
They start simple enough, e.g. was the parcel left where you asked, did it come on time . . that type of thing.

Then about 6 pages later, they change tactics and start questioning about who else delivers to my house, and what did I think of Royal Mail, Yodell, and various other couriers companies.

What a ruddy cheek! Who else delivers to me is nothing whatsoever to do with Hermes, nosey devils, and as for asking me questions about them . . . well at that point I shut down the survey and wouldn't do any more.

If it was a simple - "did it come on time and were you happy with the delivery time" type thing, I wouldn't mind so much, but this one went on for page after page of stupid, repeat questions, then wanted me to rate other companies too! Cheeky beggars.

We bought a garden storage box online and was asked at the checkout if we wanted to subscribe to their monthly Newsletter. Obviously I declined, I'm not sure I could take the excitement.

Being hassled to buy extra breakdown insurance on White Goods. I know they are under pressure by their Bosses to sell it, BUT it hacks me off sooooo much. AND I've never bought it yet.

Me too. I always refuse it. It's the wrong time to sell insurance on something that is brand new. Sometimes I ask them if that means the item will breakdown after just one year and that I might need to buy something else instead.

Yep. Had that tried on us a few times. Once was when we paid cash for an American style fridge freezer. No, we didn't want a payment plan. No, we didn't was extended insurance. We wanted a discount for cash payment up front.

Not negotiable. None of it.
