Things that wind me up

• Virgin Media's shockingly intermittent internet connection
• New restrictions to what you can do with on-line banking
  
• Having a poor credit rating because of the word 'student' despite having a respectable net income and no bad debts to speak of
  
• Not being able to hire a car without a credit card
• Young driver surcharges
• The fact that driving places is so cheap and convenient compared to public transport

Each of these things I can deal with individually, even understand. But when you are just trying to get things done and these obstacles confront you every way you turn it is infuriating.

Postscript: In hindsight this post does seem a bit puerile. Of course these are not real problems, it is too easy to get wound up by the little things.
