DPD's lack of notification on delievery times. Nipped out for a quick meal and came back with no card posted through and an email stating they had made an attempt at 1:55 pm to deliver despite me being in up until 1:40 pm. Got to give them some credit as the parcel is secure and they will give me some idea on what time they are going to re-attempt.

They have an app - try it and you'll soon be complaining about the number of DPD notifications :-)

But it'll solve your problem

Just wish they didn't drop rubber bands everywhere whilst they are on their rounds.

I cycle part my local sorting office most days. Just outside the gates there are loads of discarded rubber bands. I collect them, they seem much stronger than shop bought ones.

I haven't seen those yet - when do people use them?

Those professional victim BlueMooners who can never enjoy the good days because they're up in arms about something the pundits have either said, or not said. Everybody is aware of the favouritism, but some posters complain about it within a few minutes of a good result.

There was somebody the other day genuinely peeved that we weren't due to be on TNT 1, but instead on TNT 2. Must be exhausting for them.

Fooking Bookies.
I’ve done a treble for tonight with split start times. Had a look at the teatime score (which was up) and apparently I’m losing both 8pm kick offs !!! This is at 8.01pm ffs
Jokers!!

‘Soft signal’ probably appears daily in the 115/130 charges thread.

‘Age profile’ is often used in the transfer forum.

Dispatch times , you've got my money just post it, paid for goods Sunday, still not marked as dispatched !

Poor driving in car parks. People drive as if going along a main road. No thought for people who are walking. I am surprised that there are not more accidents. Just slow the f..k down.

You'd also be up in arms if your remote didn't have a mute button.

"Tell us how we did" requests when a firm has just posted something to you successfully.

I just automatically delete them. Waste of time.

From McCoist's inane ramblings, sure, but not because they prattle on about how much we've spent - especially not when we're winning.

Who needs praise from others when you know yourself that you've done a good job?

I rang the local medical centre to book an appointment and got a recorded message saying that they were busy and asking me to try later.

Less than a minute later, I got an automatic text asking me to rate their performance on my recent call...

Deleted.

On a scale of Shit to Fuck Off how did you rate them?

 

[DiscoSteve]

Home appointment options of 'All-Day' - all-fucking-day, what use is that to anyone? I can handle morning or afternoon not this!

Are your scheduling systems so bad that you cannot schedule with any more granularity than 8 hours? FFS

To be fair, the automated message was well written and succinct. I'd say it was a borderline "Bollocks".
I wouldn't tell them that to their faces though, I'd probably be struck off the list for hurty words.

Trying to watch a film (with American actors) and I can't make out what they are saying. He is mumbling in a forced hoarse whisper, she has a high-pitched nasal whining tone.
Press the subtitles button, "Subtitles Not available".

Odd to think that my brother, who has been totally deaf since his late teens, can lip read, and has no problem following the film.

This morning approached a mini roundabout going straight on. Other driver approaches from the other side, no signal so must also be going straight on. But turns right instead, nearly right into the side on of me, then berates me, knob.
