minor things that make you fume

[gonetomorrow]

"Courteous" drivers who get stroppy when you decline their offer to cross the road in front of them and wave them on, usually at a green man crossing.

It's funny in hindsight actually how a simple offer of help can quickly turn to "Oh well suit yerself ya old b_____d!"

The Tip down here.
Absolute racket it is.

Got to book appointment at the moment, social distancing etc etc..

So I do that today, turn up passing the number plate recognition camera, have my name checked by a lad with a clipboard and I dump my stuff.

During which time two vans of lads turn up, drive in the wrong way avoiding the camera, go straight to another fella working the skips and they dump all sorts of house clearance gear. Drive off sharpish.
Then I noticed the brand spanking Range Rovers parked up in the staff car park. Raking it in with backhanders these lids.

My Virgin Media contract is up and is due to go from £29 to £59 per month. On a chat with them and they say there's nothing they can do other than end my contract. I say ok and they 'transfer' the chat to the relevant department. The automated message says it could take up to 24 hours for the chat to continue. Joke.

Had a builder gimme a price a couple of weeks ago to lay 30m2 of patio slabs in my garden. He agreed to start the job in middle of August as I told him I’d do all the prep work first.... I’ve pulled down all the old fencing, dismantled my old shed and only yesterday I finished breaking up a 7ft by 4 ft concrete slab, my garden looks like a bomb site and the builder just messaged me to say he’s gotta pull out of the job. Gotta find someone else now ffs

I feel your pain. The exact same scenario with me. I offered to start digging out an old water feature with the promise that his quote would be reduced commensurate with the amount of work I did.
Obviously had a better offer saying he's got staffing issues.

Shop workers who think them wearing rubber gloves stops Covid spreading.

It doesnt. It might prevent you getting it, but unless you get a new pair after every customer or product interaction you have, they dont.

Wash you hands instead of wearing the same gloves all day ffs.

I had the same problem when my contract ended. In the end they gave me the original price, but, they told me that I had to put the contract in my wife’s name. She was on the phone to an Indian call centre for over an hour and wasn’t a happy bunny.

My doctors making it increasingly more difficult to even get a telephone appointment. Having to enter the same information in over and over again despite nothing changing.

I had a fella doing a ferocious spitty Callagher routine behind the side window of his car after he'd kindly stopped at a zebra for me and the dog to cross. Trouble was I was 5 paces beyond the zebra, on the inside of the pavement stopped waiting for my dog to have a pee. He looked very angry when I didn't cross. I just shrugged and laughed.

Yo buddy how are you doing today.

The Wotwine.com site is very good and easy to use - reviewing, as it does, the wines on offer at UK supermarkets. However, I often see a recommendation for say a French red which quotes a 2016 vintage, or older sometimes. These are wines supposed to be in store I might add, not online.

Now I may reside in the rough end of the city but our Tesco seldom stocks wine older than two years. I still buy the recommended bottle but it's the 2018 vintage on the label. You're left thinking maybe 2016 was fabulous but 2018...................meh. It's £9 a throw so no small purchase.

So far - hic - itsh been OK ye ken? But it drivesh ye mad, no?
