Want to know what really grinds my gears? Stupid delivery time quotes.
Example 1:
What difference does the single minute make? Normal people measure time in 5 minute intervals. This is 10.45-11.45. Not the worst offender though...
Example 2:
This is a 4 hour slot. The 2 minute difference is a margin of error of 0.83%. If you're giving me a fifteen minute window then fair enough but this is half a bloody day... and look at the disclaimer. The daft thing is the royal mail package didn't arrive until mid afternoon (when the large packages always arrive at my house because they come on the van, not with the postie!).
I totally get this is a first world problem but it really, really winds me up. You can't even promise you will make a 4 hour window so why pretend your service is accurate by defining by minute intervals. IDIOTS. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
