minor things that make you fume


Greek electronic store PUBLIC.Order placed 2 weeks ago for delivery 17/18th December.No sign of it.Phoned them today,order still in Athens and not been dispatched.Thanks you bunch of absolute BEAUTS for ruining the missus Christmas surprise.
 
Getting Christmas cards from friends from the past, sometimes distant past, and enclosed is an A4 paper full of what's happened the previous 12 months since they were last in touch. Obviously not a bespoke offering, but a generic one to all recipients, just with our names written upon it.
Pretentious or what?
 

Why does it take forever to charge anything in Thailand?

I've been sat in a bar charging for hours and my battery is still going down.

Plus plugs don't really fit the sockets and you see sparks every time you put it in.
(Awaits obligatory "That's what she said" )

I get one every year from a couple I have never met and who I had brief contact with when I was doing a family history trace.

This is a particular bee in my bonnet. Wife's sister-in-law sends one every year in the form of a newspaper, beautifully produced and photoshopped etc. It even has little headlines for the stories which are usually about some academic achievement of a grandchild or a holiday in India or whatever. "Flying colours again for Graham......." You get the picture.

Unlike real newspapers you'll never read anything negative in it. We often have a sardonic laugh imagining how our own newspaper would look. "Fridge starts leaking two weeks after end of warranty period. Husband under fire for not choosing extension option......"

Walking round the supermarket earlier,a large lady with a trolley piled high and not a single fresh item inside,her husband walks up with a 2 litre lemonade and the said lady flips,shouting in his face that he knows shes diabetic and he should have got the diet bottle,I hope he suffers a life time of guilt knowing that bottle made her keel over

I can’t actually believe people like that exist.

Has your wife's sister in law got her bangers out on page 3 ?
