My great-aunt's dog (a pekingese bitch) fell out of a 8th story window of a hotel in Mayfair when I was a lad.

Regretfully, the outcome wasn't quite as successful as Lucky's.

Little things that annoy you

Questionnaires that ask you in fine detail how "satisfied" you are. Satisfied (from satis) basically means "Was it enough?". It's a yes or no situation. There aren't 7 grades of "satisfied", ranging from "extremely satisfied" to "extremely dissatisfied", none of which is just "satisfied" but one of which is the philosophically intriguing "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied".

What about when you're in the call and on the other side of the office. You get to hear it, and then again a moment or so later at a higher speed and varying pitch.

Permy managers who think a packet of chocolate biscuits is adequate compensation for 3 weeks of hard slog sorting out the mess they'd created in the first place.

Or even worse the permie boss sending an email with 'much kudos' for a job well done... unfortunately 'kudos' doesn't pay my mortgage you patronising bastard.

I knew some contractors had been cutting their rates lately but that's pretty extreme. I wouldn't do 3 weeks for any less than a bag of Sainsbury's chewy cookies and a Battenburg cake.
