My Moan - Where You Can
Have A Good Old Whinge!
My Scotland Newsletter > My Moan
This is another page on Discover Scotland dedicated to you, the visitor, where you can not only have your say, you can have a right old whinge.
Everybody has something to gripe about, those annoying little things that get right under your skin, up your nose, or just make you want to scream.
My old granny used to say "If something's annoying you, let it out", and that's what you can do here. Just send it in and have it published!
This is "My Star Moan", sent in by Robert McBride of Glenrothes, Scotland, who says .....
Hi, my moan is about those infuriating pop-ups that play havoc with my computer. I click onto a website and there's a pop-up about to appear. I have a pop-up blocker that usually works, but some of these are really determined. The website is not loading up, the pop-up is trying to appear, and my blocker is trying to stop it. My screen then freezes, and when I try to shut down the window, I get a message saying "this programme is not responding". After numerous attempts it finally shuts down, and I then have to re-open Internet Explorer. The most annoying thing is, this happens with some reputable websites. Why do they persist with these things? Do they not realise this is not a "good customer experience"?
Hear! Hear! Robert! I wholeheartedly agree, they should be banned!
More moans .....
Ann McGhee of Kilmarnock, Scotland says :
I hate phoning companies where you get those awful automated systems with all the different options. I usually end up pressing options 1,3,2,1,3,4 then a voice tells me I'm in the queue and I have to listen to annoying music for God knows how long. By the time I finally get to speak to a human being I'm really stressed out.
James Hardie of East Kilbride, Scotland says :
What really annoys me is drivers who don't indicate, especially on roundabouts. It's just bad manners.
Helen Reeves of Toronto, Canada says :
People who stop to chat in supermarket doorways really get my blood boiling. Do they not realise that other folks are trying to enter or leave the supermarket? Why can't they just move inside, or preferrably outside?
Jamie McDonald of Ayr, Scotland says :
I'm always moaning about our football referees. They get more decisions wrong than they do right, no wonder they're sponsored by Specsavers!
David Mitchell of Ripon, England says :
My moan is about websites where you go round in circles. You're on a page, click a link to another page, then another, and land back on the page you started on without the info you were looking for to begin with.
Some of the things I've moaned about .....
Spam emails - So annoying.
Supermarket checkouts - Trying to open the plastic bags.
Telephone sales - They always ring at awkward times.
My sincere thanks to all of you for sending these in to "my moan". If you're reading this and you have something to say, please Send Me Your Moan.
