Don't get me wrong, i'm all for one being thorough and shit like that. But this I don't see a call for. This happened months ago, got the papers now but Jesus H, common sense does not prevail in the world of registrars. I even called the Head office in Milton Keynes who backed up the registrar's words. Absolutely ridiculous.

edit - The reason why I didn't have the papers is because I got divorced in America and live in the UK. I got them now from old family (of the ex) but I didn't want to ask if you know what I mean. It seems I have to jump through hoops even after she died.
That sounds really tough, man. But is this really a "little thing that annoy you"?
Couls be the ex is/was the little thing that annoyed him? :lol:

Yeah I was dissapointed, some shitty poker game in a JALECO PONY MKIV..... 4 of them to be precise I am mad but yet at the same time happy because that means I can probably buy one just across the street!

How about walking into the Taito Station at the mall in Fukuoka (I don't know the name of the mall, the Grand Hyatt that I stayed at was connected..) and seeing like 10-15 candy cabs and THEY WERE ALL FIGHTING GAMES! Ahhhhh bullshit I tell you! And the rest of the arcade was mostly gimmicky crap and of course the whole bottom floor was full of those stupid photo booths (you can't even hang out down there without feeling like a stalker/pedophile because of all the teenage girls (especially for me because as a white guy I just felt like a stuck out like a sore thumb in there).

Or when they say it's going to rain/snow like hell, and it does nothing but drizzle/flurry for a short time and then the sun comes out.

I have never seen the acrost thing before. Or Haich...now i will...great.

Women, as drivers can annoy the fuck out of me.
People who sit for 5 minutes at an entrace while driving and then decide just as you're about to pass, to finally pull out...uh..brakes!

And people who are way too literal with correcting people. IE., while breakfast is the first meal of the day and if your first meal of the day is at 9pm - it's breakfast. But, seriously? We have breakfast, lunch and dinner. When i say i want lunch and its my first meal of the day, its because in our society we have created quasi times for specific meals. CHRIST!

People that pull into a gas station, park at the pump, and then go inside to shop for like 15 minutes. Not even pumping gas. They come out after shopping, -then- pump gas, further occupying the pump when other people could have used it. So inconsiderate.

When people load knives into the dishwasher utensil rack with the pointy end up.

Similarly, when people submerge things in pots full of sludge water in the kitchen sink. I don't mind the sludge water because sometimes you need to let things soak a bit, but I don't want to stick my hand in there to find that I have grabbed the sharp side of a knife.

Knives in the dishwasher in the first place (well, at least good cutting knives) is a pretty common pet peeve for cooks. Most will tell you knives don't belong in the dishwasher in the first place.

• People not standing on the right on escalators on the London underground (even if you're not from London, it's pretty obvious what's going on if you actually look around you!).

• Cyclists jumping red lights at pedestrian crossings. I'm a cyclist. I used to ride a bike on public roads as my job. I love cycling. But all those light-jumping pricks give cyclists a bad name, put people in danger and motivate drivers to treat us like shit. It just makes cycling more dangerous and less popular.

Thank Christ I don't have a driving license. Commuting in London makes an angry man of me. :oops:

You know when your company goes public your getting shitty toilet paper. Even the cheapest stuff at Tescos or Sainsbury's is better than what my company is getting.

People who bitch about Vevo's channel on YouTube. As if a banner and a commercial somehow ruin the experience of watching a music video. :roll:
