Driven to MadnessCaptain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

I fear this will be the first of many ...Receptionists and people that answer the 'phone with a garbled/gabbled version of the company's name - delivered in a singsong manner.
I know you have said the name a hundred times today, I know the receptionists job is not the most stimulating but FFS you're the first point of contact for everyone that 'phones in. Take a breath, slow down and enunciate.
Also, tannoy announcements. Why are they done in a duotone? Just speak FFS, they'll get the message.

We had a guy who answered the phones sometimes...... the company name used to begin with "Frank", which he would always pronounce "fWank". Great.
