    "nae probs" has been around for years and years though - don't beat yourself up too much about it. :)

    Calling a company and being connected to their automated service to direct your call more efficiently.
    You type in the account number , 6 digit DOB and select your required department only to have to repeat that information to the human when you eventually get through.


    Another one , calling a company and having to listen to the pre recorded message asking if you would rather use their website and proceed to give you the web address as slowly as possible .
    I'm phoning to speak to someone ffs. Fo they think I've never heard of the Internet ?

    Temporary traffic lights when there is absolutely nothing happening. There's a set on Easter Road that at least doubled the time it took me to get to and from work today. They went up yesterday, and when I eventually passed them on my way home today, all there is, is a square of traffic cones where I assume they are going to start work at some point. Over 24 hours of inconvenience for no reason whatsoever.

    This has been peeved on here before and it is a big issue with me. Work should commence and continue day by day until it is completed. None of this peeing off to another job. If that has to happen then temp fill what's been done and remove the traffic lights - simples. Another peeve is when temporary signs are left by the roadside long after the work has been completed. Contractors complain that motorists don't abide by their signs. Well boys that's part of the reason why. You leave them up when your work is long done. Get your act together.

    Report them and it's possible that the company can be fined.

    I'd like to know what the gulls up my way are eating. They are ****ting up and down the street and it's like kids have been having a mud fight.

    Doesnt help that every side street just about to get to Leith walk is also blocked, then, if you do get onto leith walk form one of the streets open, the rest of leith walk is a building zone as well!

    Been caught in this a few times this week, absolute nightmare and as you say there's literally no activity whatsoever. I saw 2 workies there the other day sitting on the kerbside on their phones doing eff all while there was about a mile of traffic going back towards Seafield.

    The worst roadworks at the moment are at Duddingston crossroads. There's a random hole dug right at the lights and it's down to one lane. I've yet to see any work being done on it and the traffic in the morning is backed all the way back along Milton Road to Milton Link when it's at it's worst.

    Of course it could be partially resolved if they actually bothered to put a merge in ahead sign or something advising it is down to one lane more than 20 yards away from the actual roadworks. Coming round the corner from where Duddingston Row is the lights are still hidden from view so you don't actually realise there is a merge in before them (as it's usually 2 lanes) until it's on top of you. As soon as it gets busy this leads to an inevitable build up of traffic. and delays.

    The junction at holyrood road being shut off is arguably a bigger pain in the tits than that one or the Easter Road one, Especially since they've closed possible other diversion routes as well.

    While this work is going on they should open the park imo.

    The ones on Easter Road are not the worst in comparison, it's more the fact that they were there for almost 2 days when there was no work being done. Surely they could wait until the work starts before they put the temporary lights on.

    What made it worse was that the lights at Albion Road were working as normal so when the temp lights did change, if the other lights were at red, only about 4 cars got through.

    Coming home yesterday, the traffic was backed up to Holyrood.

    Folk walking towards you on a narrow pavement where its only wide enough for 2 folk, yet they expect you to walk into the road so they can still walk side by side to continue their conversation? GTF! 😠

    Think I mentioned it at the start of this thread. Happened to me today in London, three guys marching down the pavement three abreast with the one on the right taking a sharpish 180 degree turn when we collided at ramming speed.

    Im finding leith walk is quicker, especially if queen street is busy (assuming your coming feom that direction) i cut of left down dundas then right along northumberland just head for annandale street and onto leith walk. Lights and traffic seem to flow a bit better, at least around 5:30 it does

    Leith is an absolute nightmare just now. Today there was 4 way temporary at Bernard st, up the road there was more temporary lights on constitution st, Leith Walk is a shambles and Easter Road has got temporary lights as well. The rest of the town isn't much better with Calton Road and St Mary's St being closed. I can't ever remember a time when things were such a mess.

    United we stand here....

    This drives me insane, there's very few times when driving in a city that you need your full beams on yet just about every 2nd driver uses them constantly!
