I get annoyed at people sending them to me on facebook because I often don't have my headphones on and no way am I playing some random recording on speaker in public. If you;re too lazy to type it out, perhaps its not that important?

Over 10 that they may spam you from, from travel to Specsavers!

 

They really annoy me!

The ever-escalating repairs on our house. More delays while they work out how to tackle the next bit...meanwhile we are in temp accommodation and need timing to be able to book additional days/weeks in this place or be homeless. grrrr

 

 

I feel your pain! While renovations can be very rewarding, you are at the mercy of others...

Good old Noel Leeming send me a nice email to see how my recent product purchase is going and would I place product feedback.

 

Annoying thing is they post no way to unsubscribe!!! Which should be on ALL emails.

Related to a transaction so they do not need to offer a way to not get it. They're smart about not putting unsubs in when not required.

I got one of those "invitations" to review from a different vendor recently... two days after receiving the product. Of course, I've had no chance to break it in and see what the build quality's like, which is almost certainly part of the plan: Get the reviews in early, before the customer can put the product through its paces.

Oh, also the different marketing lists companies use to email you, so unsubscribing does nothing. As the next bit of BS comes from a different list.

the mirror like glass fence that they put up around the church in Rotorua on a busy intersection, i thought a car was passing me from out of nowhere but it was just my reflection, made me jump a bit.





Common sense is not as common as you think.

When companies' systems are so bad that they leak customer data. I just got an invoice to my personal email address for some work that my parents requested at their house. We have the same last name, but that's hardly an oddity!
