Halfords in the end. Needed a new rear wiper so two birds, one stone

Not a minor thing, but burglars.

I hope who did me dads this morning gets what's coming.

Sorry to hear it. The mentality of just taking something at the expense of someone who's grafted for it - horrible barstewards.

The number of drops they need to do to make the pay worth while, if its a lads sole income, mean they just do the bare minimum to get the round done probably.

The local one down here routinely does double what I do. And I do plenty most days.

This - There's a reason MyHermes are so cheap and it's everything to do with making it pretty much impossible for the drivers to make a living while maintaining decent service standards. See loads of them leaving the engine running during drops just to shave necessary seconds off. Loathsome company.

Cyclists who insist on riding 3 abreast as soon as the sun comes out. Fume.

How can there be so many people who get on a bike on a Sunday and think 'I know. I'll hog the entire road today and stop everyone passing'?

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same thing today while driving up towards Prescot and even thinking about posting it on the GOT Fume thread!

I thought all their parcels were postable size?
 

Last delivery from Hermes was thru the post, don’t know if the driver even bothered to try and deliver it, postie turned up with a note saying I had to collect it from the depot AND pay the postage.

Double fume.
 
Some bloke was hanging around the entrance to our block today, we've had loads of post nicked so I was a bit concerned.

Tried to follow me in, I politely explained why he couldnt (he said he'd lost his keyfob, though his keys didn't look anything like ours), and told him that the concierge would let him in if he told them what flat he was going to. Closed the door, only to find some bint swan through and let him in without paying the slightest attention.

They are doing my nut today. Tracker says they tried Sat morning, and today. One of us was in. No delivery, no card through the door. Obviously a new driver who either cant find, or CBA to, our place.

It wont need signing for neither, so he could just leave it in the shed. Tool.

Sounds like whatever it is has been sent through Royal Mail with no postage on. Someones possibly got mixed up and paid for MyHermes and then posted it through RM.

When we were kids we used to call the game 'knocking on doors and running away' knock down ginger. Its called 'Parcelforce' now.

Had the same problem in ours, building manager also just leaves parcels out.

Also on said bint, probably one of those ignorant ladies who, if you politely explained why she shouldn’t have let him in, would accuse you of being rude or having a go at her.
 
Army Job adverts.

"Could do squats for days, but just couldn't crack a pull-up"

"Yeah, we have a laugh, but there's also people there to give you a cracking hug"

Not only are they cringeworthy, but they prey on people with little opportunity and/or have bad lives to make them feel like they have a place to belong.
