My pet peeve at the moment (at least one of them).
My credit card company keeps sending me new cards that I have to activate over the phone before they can be used (and if I don't activate the new card within a certain timeframe the old one stops working!).
When you call it turns into a 10 to 15 minute long sales pitch.....begins with advertisements while you are on hold, then while the card is being 'activated' the person on the other end of the line says 'while thats happening let me tell you about our new........so I'll go ahead and add that to your card?'

On a different topic, I hated my 2 years of being a 'landlord'. It was a massive pain - and at the end of the day, I ended up out of pocket. In a year the house aged more than it would have if I'd been living in it for 25 years!
