minor things that make you fume

Myself. I literally make myself fume.

I worked 30 minutes extra today, trying to help a Headteacher with some IT and software issues that they were having - I work for the council - those 30 minutes will of course not be paid.

Before that, I sent a friend in Cambodia some money, despite swearing to myself that I would not do so, because I feel sorry for the situation that they find themselves in due to everything shutting down there.

Gotta think it’s only the rich that will profit in places like Cambodia so I wouldn’t fume about that. I’ve sent cash to a mate in Sierra Leone before cos he said he was ‘African skint’ which is a lot different to being skint here.

I suppose that is true. I just don't want it to become a regular thing. I hope not anyway....
 

1. The Echo website; My own fault, I went on it having stayed away for a good while. Do the people who write on the readers' comments section actually exist in real life? I fear for humanity.
2. Pride in the Port; A community page on FB set up so the locals of Ellesmere Port can complain about dog mess or ask where does ass bleaching during lock down. I have a look at the page every now and again for a laugh, but at the same time it really is tragic. I lived there once for 6 months and the macabre in me means I check the page every so often.

Virgin Media charging me for a phantom Netflix account that is in no way attached to my actual Netflix account. And absolutely no way for me to identify it so Netflix can't cancel it from their end.

Netflix have been bend over backwards helpful in their attempts to solve the issue. Virgin have shrugged their shoulders and denied all responsibility despite being the ones who bill and take money from me for it!

And after typing out a lengthy complaint detailing all the issues on their website I pressed submit....and got an Oops! Broken Link page :rant:

A while back I noticed a direct debit of £7.99 for audible had been hitting my account every month. To my embarrassment it had been going on for 32 months. I didn't have a clue what audible was. Anyway it turned out that my 13 year old daughter (at the time) had clicked on some link and it signed me up.

I wasn't happy so called up and gave them what for. After much toing and froing they agreed to reimburse me but said that it wasn't possible to put the money back into my sterling account. Part of Amazon and could not make a payment in sterling. I then received a USD cheque for part of what I was owed. Eventually they made another 20 payments of £7.99 direct to my account.

Lesson learned - Amazon are scum.
 
Developing a tooth abscess whilst in isolation and not being able to get antibiotics via any means as you’re stuck in the middle of bumblefuckshire with no transport or doctor within miles.

I've had broken bones, kidney stones, appendicitis.... this is currently worse pain than all of them and I can’t do anything about it !
