Ignoring emails and phone calls. If they'd bug my calls, at least I'd know they were listening!

That reminds me. Hopeful vendors who call me to sell me crap I don't want and then expect me to pick up the phone and talk to them. Or return their voice mail. Or e-mail. Please take a hint. I have never returned your call. I won't be buying anything from you. Stop wasting your time and my time.

People who that because you have opinions that differ from theirs, you are stupid, afraid, wrong, or mentally difficient in some other way.

Idiots on the road who speed up out of my blind spot, cut me off in traffic, then make a turn 100 metres later. Totally pointless.

Bank fees.

Companies that prostitute all your confidential, personal details to whomever they choose for their own profit. Even more annoying is when they don't tell you who they gave your details to because it's confidential.

Shit that takes half a roll to wipe clean.

Please. Get your ass to the local credit union immediately. Any credit union. Here in the upper left hand corner, the membership rules are extremely lax. You can find one, and "pay yourself" those fees.

My credit union requires, (which is the legal requirement) that you live, work or pray in this county. Walk in and pray for an account.

I have noticed, however, the credit unions with new laws and expanded territory, are starting to act more like banks than they used to.

I did - a long time ago.

The trouble is, once banks started charging fees, many other places started doing the same. Including some credit unions.

And the most annoying thing is that you can't charge the banks fees when THEY stuff up. Oh would I love to slap the bank a $40 fee every time they make a mistake like depositing the cheque in the wrong account!

The fee schedule I would like to see:
Bank deposits cheque in wrong account ... $40 (if details were correct on deposit slip)
Cheque bounces because bank deposited cheque in wrong account ... $100 (if details were correct on deposit slip)
Document handling fee for promotional brochures received in mail ... $5 per page ($10 minimum)
Bank places your information on a mailing list ... $30 listing fee
Bank sells your personal information to a third party ... $10 disclosure fee

I think Americans have a good term for what bank fees are like - "nickled and dimed".
