Stupid little things that bug you

@DrBlueBob I previously mis quoted the lines for El Paso by Marty Robbins on here and now it seems Little Flo has met the same fate.
For some reason I always thought he said Oh Flo.

Oh well.
Corrected I stand. :-)

Not "oh well",little well!!

Carparks.

Pay by phone , download the fucking App, set up an account , get to the small print 20 minutes later, no vans on this car park so had to go somewhere else. Got on the car park , download a different app, set up account and now I have to pay for 24 hours not the 6 hours I wanted.
Car park twats can fuck right off.

Every business is now in the 'We lost loads of money during Covid and now we are making it back so fuck you' phase. Sadly it is a phase that will last years. Robbin' bastards.

Service stations at motorways started it, now car parks are doing it. Ring and Go is the main company. Allowing you to put money in means they have to pay someone to empty the machine so it's all on an app..... but as Mr Holdall says, wait until you dont read all the rules and regs. One letter or number mistyped? Tough shit, pay the fine.
What about old folk ? my mam doesn't have a smart phone so can't park at her local (council owned) car park.

That's just plain old stupid

Plain old greed. Old people no longer count and the rest are seen as cash cows. Councils are far worse imo than private companies but which ever it is, both are greedy.
Take motorway services. A national company have someone in Chester and someone in Manchester. They have to go to London for a meeting. The simple thing was meet at Knutsford services, park one car up and travel in the other. It's better for the environment for a start. Now they charge you for parking over 2 hours.

There is a car park in Durham City that has been logging the reg no's of cars that are simply passing on the road, The owners then get a letter saying they didn't pay for their visit to the car park.

There is a village we used to call in on the way to Pembrokeshire, let the dogs on the beach and go and have a meal in the pub....then some bright spark on the council decided to go all techie and install a fancy ticket machine and app etc etc. We now go somewhere else and a few months ago the village was on TV complaining about the loss of business. Keep it simple stupid.
