Stress reducing general rant thread

We all have it sometimes. We are confronted with something we find very frustrating and we want to get it off our chest. Well, you can use this thread. No need to go into details just use the following format:

[RANT]
BIAL International Airport immigration (or rather emigration)
The Shared Oberoi First Class Lounge
[/RANT]

Most frequent flyers will understand what you mean anyway. It helps.

PS:

[RANT]
Henkybaby
Frequent Posters
[/RANT]

is expected and not very original.

To get the ball rolling...

[RANT]
-SZG not having a lounge, despite only having seasonal BA service.
-No port on the bar trolley, even in CE.
-Gatwick for not doing transfers properly (intl - domestic). Having to go landside?
-Not getting priority luggage tags when appropriate.
-Priority luggage tags not doing anything to help my bag.
-Self check-in machine at EDI that never ever accepts my payment card.

Oh, and Scotrail.

Being away from my laptop when the Amex Membership Rewards to Tesco giftcard cock-up-of-the-century happened.

If you have the time and energy for some ebaying, the Le Creuset and Dysons are actually even more lucrative.

Personally I can't be bothered, but it's still there for the taking if you can.

I've put through a couple of orders for the dyson and the grill and included some wine, but for personal use/presents - similarly, I really can't be bother with the ebay lark - I still have 5 USB Dongle Modems I bought a couple of years ago for the points and I never got around to selling

My new year resolution is not to be an grumpy old git this year so I won't be contributing to this thread.

That'll leave more room for T8191.....

[RANT] All these threads being reshuffled, and now I can't find anything [/RANT]

And being on a diet.
And both of us getting a big fat Zero on our Premium Bonds this month.

That'll do for now.

Sorry can't help it.

My wife's Motorola phone is driving me mad. The event reminder alarm to be precise. It just keeps playing some heavy metal like noise....getting louder and louder until someone acknowledges it. Which usually has to be me when she's elsewhere in the house oblivious to the racket that's going on.

One very good reason why mobiles should remain switched off during a flight. ^
