Stupid little things that bug you

The new age of Bullshit.
Watching my grandson playing youth rugby the other day.
Five minutes to go two opposition Subs walk past and comment “refs been bent all game”
They were 43-0 down at the time !!!!

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Or the fat fucker (with a straggly ginger beard down to his belly button.....wtf?), who parks his car next to one of the pumps, doesn't get petrol, but goes into the shop to get 2 cans of energy drink, when there's empty designated spaces, elsewhere

The irony is that he needed the 2 tins of energy drinks just to get out of the car

Token woman who knows nothing about football actually being paid money to give her opinion

She looks better than Martin Keown though.

Wife today. Heard some interesting football news.

Said she heard on the radio that some footballer called Alex Scott was dating Jeff Lynne and they were at some awards together.
Told her Jeff Lynne was in ELO, was too old for Alex Scott and that she must be istaken.
She then rechecked her info and told me it was actually Jess Glynne. I assumed then that it was Alex Scott, the Bristol City player.
Off she comes back that it is Alex Scott the ex Arsenal lady and Jess Glynne the singer are in a relationship.
Totally confused at this stage

Told her to feck off, in a nice way.

You seriously didn't know that Scott is a lesbian? You need to speak to your parole officer about relaxing the conditions of your house arrest.

I knew that.
It was the wife giving me all sorts of misinformation.
I didn't know Jess Glynne was though.

So you said "Please fuck off?"

I've never heard of either of em'.

Had the 'murican football on in the background for a few minutes earlier. But I've taken my medication, and I'm fine again now. Anyway; what is it with the septics pronouncing "route" as "rout"? Yes; it's trivial, but it annoys me. And the weird thing is, they know the correct way to pronounce it.....

She isn't really, just helps them out when they're busy

Correct, they do pronounce it correctly

'All Day Breakfasts' that are only served at certain times of the day. Also very annoying when the company sells you goods or services and after doesn't provide any customer service. I never had those issues with the brooklyn bowl customer service for example. Those guys have been always responsive.

I went to a restaurant that advertised it served breakfast at any time so I ordered French toast in the renaissance.

That’s courtesy of the great American comedian Steve Wright.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Taxi’s that don’t turn up on time notwithstanding however long you order them in advance be it hours, days or even weeks. When complaining the response is always “we are very busy”. It’s clearly too much for them to give good customer service and prioritise pre-existing bookings.

When queuing to in the Etihad and the bloke in front has to have his man bag searched. It's a bloody football match who needs a man bag anyway, what's wrong with pockets ?

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Heavy box dumped on the front step by amazon with no offer of help to get it in , exept today when he shouted from his van do i need help , the only one ever offered

All the time kaz. Annoys the fuck out of me. The Sainsbury’s delivery people round my end are super helpful though. They’ll bring the crate in my house and drop it on the kitchen table so I can unload it.

Every other delivery service just ditch it at your door and fuck off asap, don’t even wait for you to answer. Not only in plain view for it to get robbed but also low down so I can’t even move it to a safe place. Usually I’m left with the choice of waiting for the wife to get home or struggle the thing through the door looking like the world’s most pathetic limp fish.

Many people have medical conditions that require them to bring stuff with them. Like epipens, insulin, dressings, all sorts. I take a rucksack basically everywhere I go in case of emergencies and I’ve had comments like this before. Some busy cunts around ;)

I get 20kg bags of bird food delivered by amazon and they dump it on the floor and if i am lucky they will knock the door before sprinting off , i cant lift it so end up having to ask next door to help me , some of them are good about knocking but not all, very annoying

Unfortunately the way we all get cheap or free next day delivery is through drivers having lots of drop-offs and no turn around time. And they don't take into account disabilities, should do but then Amazon also forces drivers into pissing in bottles so even where it's the law it would still be something you can't rely on.

Might be worth looking for a tech solution Kaz, if you can track when it is being delivered you can have a garden trolley out ready for them to put it in. Not sure if there is a step to your door if you have side access, but would that work for you?

You'll need to get someone to lift it and assemble it for you though.

I have a video doorbell that also starts recording and sends a notification to my phone when movement is detected, shortly after installing this the postman delivered a signed item worth over £400 to next door and the arseholes left it outside after signing for it. I'd rather things go back to the depot than have to rearrange delivery than shitheads do stuff like that.
