  • My mum had house insurance with More Than. It crept up to £600 this year. We found a company that did it for less than half that and they weren't even the cheapest quote. Everyone just rips old people off. 
    I never quite understood till now why they call themselves More Than.
    Not just old people, they will rip off anyone and hope you dont challenge it. That is my only explanation as to how they get away with it
  • 80 year old Harvey Keitel giving it large on the 'Direct Line' ads .. paying this senile old sod shedloads for talking a load of gangster influenced old bollocks in an attempt to make me buy their overpriced car insurance is an insult and I will make sure that I never ever consider buying one of their products .. do people really fall for this type of cliched old rubbish ?????
    Makes my teeth itch when the ads come on the radio or TV.

    Probably about 52% of the population I would imagine? :D
  • The above advert where he turns up middle of the night in the bloke's bedroom. Surely you'd say 'wtf you doing in my bedroom at 2 in the morning' rather than have a discussion about landlord insurance?
  • It's an advert, not a documentary mate... :D

    But they grabbed your attention which is their aim

    I couldn't get my head around the money supermarket ads with the blokes in denim hotpants and stiletos but as long as they get in your head one way or another

  • Possibly only a continental Europe thing, as I don't remember people doing it back in the UK, but people standing by pelican crossings with no intention of crossing the fookin road is annoying, and it happens far too often

    And even if they do want to cross, they'll wait for the signal even when there's no traffic visible at all. Weird.

    Happens here at Zebras too. When you stop they look at you quite bemused and wave you on...

    On a related (Albufeira in August) matter. I stopped at Zebra for a bloke on the other side of the road, who then walked very slowly to the half of the crossing I was actually stopped at, when he got to my lane he then turned 45 degrees away from me and continued his amble, clearly holding me up for the maximum time he possibly could. You just know he is the kind of bloke who never stops for pedestrians when he is behind the wheel.

    Starbucks asking for your name. Mind your own business. tempted to say Xaviar or Costa or Taxavoidingcnuts
    Better yet, "I pay my taxes, why can't Starbucks?".
    Also tempted to say Radistankishishev
    My son, who to my eternal shame, likes Starbucks "coffee", gives the name of the person serving him, regardless of their gender.

  • Those shitty little white Bluetooth ear bud things that do what Apple headphones have always done, and leak massively irritating tinny noise out of the listener's ears and into mine. 
  • When someone messages you to say they're running late and will be 20 minutes, but turn up half hour later than that, why not just say you're gonna be an hour late, first off, so you ain't late twice
    And then just stroll up as though they're not late in the first place!!

    They think that, coz they've told you, they've covered emselves. I just spent an hour thinking every car that comes past 

    If only he knew what I just called him while he's making me wait even longer while he's on the phone

    Everyone I know is difficult to buy for.  My bird's birthday tomorrow, she don't like flowers, doesn't drink and won't want chocolates.  If I buy clothes or jewellery she won't won't like it, she's fussy about these things.

    Same at christmas, trapsing round the shops buying stuff for people they don't want, don't need or won't appreciate

    Seeing as she's your "bird" then I
    suggest some millet & a good clean of her cage.

    Very similar to here, except you don't get a message in the first place...
