So I get a letter from an organisation I do business with, carrying the ominous words "to make it more convenient for you"...

So now instead of telephoning my local rep direct either on his landline or mobile, I have to go through a call centre, press loads of buttons, tell the call centre what I want to talk to him about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) and if I'm lucky I might be put through to the new rep's assistant after they've wasted about 10 minutes of my time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Don't you just love it when companies re-organise themselves "for your convenience".... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

With these sort of things, I find that pressing the hash key repeatedly or something similar confuses the system so it puts me straight through to a human (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

OMG, I'm SOOOOO annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I went to the opticians about 3 weeks ago for a contact lens check-up, and the optician found that my prescription had changed a bit. Fine. So I dutifully hand in my unopened lenses in the old prescription and am assured I'll have the new lenses within a week or so. Also fine.
Three weeks later, I'm still lens-less, and ring them up for the millionth to ask if they're ready yet. Ahhh, yes they are, says the man, they've been here about a fortnight. Oh dear, I think..... but hey ho, off I trot in the rain to the opticians, collect the lenses, put them in when I get home. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH they've given me + lenses instead of - ones....!!!!!!! HOW ANNOYING! So my dad takes me back to the opticians (after I've dried myself off from the original trip), and I explain the problem to them. They then argue and tell me the lenses are in the right prescription and match my records. So I said no, I'm short-sighted not long-sighted, showed them my glasses prescription etc and STILL they argue, saying that contact lens prescriptions can be different from glasses ones. Ok, fine, but the lenses I was given are in the right region in terms of power, just + instead of - . So very grudgingly they've given me another appointment in a week's time :/ Hope I can get it sorted, otherwise I'll have to find a new opticians and it'd be really messy with direct debits etc. GAHHHHHH
(apologies for the unashamed rant)

Edit - and, just to make sure I wasn't wrong, I made sure that they were definitely the wrong sort by trying them on. It was terrible!
