Favourite Rants
I hate:
* people who stand on the left on the London Underground escalators
* adverts indicating that you can become a millionaire property developer
* tequila
* anyone who is smug about owning a house
* my own ability to procrastinate
* the Daily Mail
* people who ask questions that they could find the answers to if they just looked for a moment (I’m thinking the Metro letters page, here)
* hard-line creationists
* people who leave mobile phones on their desks to ring incessantly (particularly those whose voicemail rings them back)
* people who carelessly get people’s names the wrong way round in emails (i.e. calling someone informally by their surname, just because our internal address book is in the format Surname, Forename)
* adverts that imply that the people who run high-performing investment funds are geniuses who can beat the market, rather than just lucky
