Bankers

I have at least two complaints going against barclays right now and the tales I could tell of banking mysery abound.

I use Barclays & Lloyds and have had problems with both.They just do not treat people fairly.

Nat West once sent my bank statements to my boyfriends parents.  I have no idea how they managed to link my name to that address.  When I complained about it I got a half hearted verbal apology.  They seemed completely unaware of the breach to confidentiality that this could have caused if the recipients had opened my post.

Afternoon all

Banks are good at creating stress - and I think Santander has one of the worst reputations at present.

I'm moderately annoyed at having to get up at 5:30 this morning for work - a 3-hour drive followed by a longer-than-usual working day is good fun. And to top it off, I get to not go home to my family at the end of the day. Oh well, one of the joys of the job.

Well, what a long time without anyone being peeved!

I myself have been somewhat more than miffed by stuff that's happened this year, none of which will be recorded here. However, I do want to set down my mild annoyance with Santander messing up where to send my new debit card. No, I don't want to travel to Croydon to collect it. I asked you to send it to my home. So why did you write to me again to say it was waiting at Croydon? And why can't you just send it to my home address now instead of to a branch in my town? Call yourselves a bank?

Pah!

A few years ago I was due a new card, though my old one still had a couple of months til it expired. My bank decided to send me a new one, but because I'd just moved house they sent it to my branch instead. Fine (ish as the branch is still near where my Mum lives). Except they didn;t bother to tell me, and the first I knew was when my old card started getting rejected as the bank had canelled it! When I rang them they acted like it was my fault for not guessing what they'd do!

I am a tiny bit irritated that I forgot to change the light bulbs in the landing light before it got dark and now have to wait for tall husband to come home to do it for me - grrr.

They did that with my credit card last year. I kept reporting that I'd only had the PIN arrive, and they kept cancelling the card and sending a new one. I even went into the branch to complain at one stage. Eventually, I suggested maybe they should just send the bliddy card to the branch, went in a week later and found three credit cards waiting to be signed for! Wassocks.

I've never heard a good thing about Santander.

I'm mildly annoyed at Channel 5 for stopping the Ice Road Truckers Deadliest Roads series half way through the programme.

I'm mildly annoyed that I am injured again.  When one part of me recovers another part breaks down.

E mmy

I'm midly frustrated that i keep forgetting to take my inhalers to the gym.

A bit peeved that I scraped the paintwork of my car on the wall of a hotel car park yesterday. It's a ridiculously tight squeeze at the best of times so I should have known better, particularly as my boss did the same to his car in the same car park.  If it wasn't a company car I'd more than a bit peeved.

I was so miffed that I forgot to put the handbrake on when I finally parked, and banged my knee diving into the rolling car to grab the brake.

Sweetest Thing

Ouch, SVT!

I am not peeved by anything today. So really, I shouldn't be posting her - but then again, it's only halfway through the morning, so there's plenty of miffing opportunity left....

Welsh Alex

I am also mildly peeved. Have a bit if apple stuck between my molars that I just cant shift with my toungue

WA - I feel your pain.

Sweetest Thing

Well, I am a wee bit cross with myself because I went down to the shops to get things for lunch as I have two friends coming to see me today and I forgot the baby potatoes - pffft! To make matters worse, I had them on my list and my eyes just didn't see the words....

[Deleted User]

I did the same with black sacks yesterday, ST.

On Monday I saw that yoghurt was on the shopping list and couldn't work out why as I had several pots at home.

When I got home I remembered that I needed natural yoghurt for a recipe, and the ones at home were flavoured.

Sweetest Thing

I share your miffedness, beebs and SC. How midly irritating is that?

I have just realised that for the third day in a row I have forgotten to get clingfilm. Pish and tosh!

SuperCaz

I'm mildly miffed that my new iron doesn't fit on the iron stand on the ironing board.

I'm a bit annoyed that the pasty I bought from Tesco was so hot that, even after a fair few minutes out of the shop, I burnt my tongue on the first bite. Ow.

Welsh Alex

I am mildly miffed about the world economy, but I am sure the feeling will pass.

E mmy

I'm mildly miffed that it's cold outside and I forgot my warm jacket.

Beware Of The Fish

I'm mildly miffed that I've been the only one from my team in the office for nearly 2 weeks now. I'm getting lonely, and more to the point there's nobody to sign my timesheets so I can't invoice them.

Beware Of The Fish

Oh yeah, and the fact they all buggered off to Switzerland to do UAT testing with the Swiss branch of the company and they left me behind. A foreign jolly would have been nice.

Mildly miffed at the woman from another department hogging 'my' photocopier because theirs is broken...  How is this my problem? 

Little Ninja

I'm mildly miffed the one day I wouldn't mind some extra sleep the workmen are doing roadworks on my road and the driling noise is fecking loud even from here.

Sweetest Thing

Oh dear, lots of mild miffiness today!

I am not peeved at all but if I once more go to the shops and forget clingfilm, I think I might be a bit hacked off!

Nice 0s ST
