Pointless performance reviews and stupid targets
 

Pointless performance reviews and stupid targets
These companies are so quick to go go with you on the good times and dance around with you when you make them tons of money, but when things are bad (recession?) that's when your employers turn on you.

Where can you find comfortable half size shoes?
 

Where can you find comfortable half size shoes?
Long ago, back in the 60s and 70s, you could go into a shoe shop and find something that was actually comfortable. A large number of them used to do shoes in half sizes. Nowadays, it's really hard to find shops that stock these.

NCP pay by phone and season tickets
 

NCP pay by phone and season tickets
Isn't it time for a competition enquiry into NCP? Every station in my area with a direct line to London has outsourced its car park to this fine organisation, and I now have a thick file of dog-eared letters to show for it.

Nosiy neighbours and poor sound insulation
Well, following yet another sleepless night, I thought I'd ask the rest of you, am I the only one with annoying, irritating noisy neighbours? Also why do modern houses have such poor sound insulation?

Pedestrians - walk on which side of the road?
 

Pedestrians - walk on which side of the road?
How many times do you come across this? You are driving along the road and there is a person or even a group of people walking down the side of the road with their backs to the traffic flow.

Paid full price for reduced item
 

Paid full price for reduced item
Have you ever left a shop and realised you have paid full price for an item that is on offer and then returned the next day to be refused a refund? This is the scenario that happened to me recently at our local Tesco.

Emergency appointments only at the doctor's
 

Emergency appointments only at the doctor's
Why is it that the only way you can get an appointment with a doctor these days is to declare an emergency? This is quite ridiculous as laypeople aren't qualified to diagnose how 'life threatning' a medical condition is.

Get out of the way of that ambulance!
 

Get out of the way of that ambulance!
What gets me is when you are driving along in your car, and you hear an ambulance siren behind you (along with seeing the blue flashing lights), all of a sudden all the cars around you just pull over.
