Thanet District Council are fucking useless.
They have changed the rubbish collection and its been chaos.

Our bins have been collected friday around midday for all the time i have lived here (8yrs)

Today for some reason 6:45am lucky it woke me and I just had time to put them out. I recon 90% of my neighbours hadn't.

When we do road closures for event. These are set up within the law and correctly laid out.
Yet car drivers stop at the cones and road closed sign and ask ' is the road closed '?

In the village where I live, an arterial road (with no exits) has been closed for months due to subsidence. 1st sign "Road Closed 2 miles ahead", second sign is for "1 mile ahead" and third warning sign for "1/2" mile.

Great for me as I can cycle a distance on a quiet road through the woods, but still some motorists ignore all three warning signs and then have to do a U-turn all the way back to the main road.
 
Media including football pundits.

After someone has been quoted, or after an interview they report it as

"What he was trying to say", or "the point he was trying to make"

I am sure most are saying what they wanted to say, it does not need a translation.
 
Harry Ramsdens in Bournemouth on the weekend. Naturally it was busy, but we’re away should be worth the wait. Sign outside with a good looking lump of battered fish stating “fish and chips from £9.95”.
After a twenty odd minute wait just to enter the building get in to order to find cod is £12.95, not including chips at another £3.99! After the initial queue couldn’t be arsed going elsewhere so went with it, another twenty minutes before it arrived so grabbed the boxes and went to add salt and vinegar to find the fish was about 8 inches long and 1.5 wide - pissed right off, never again the robbing bastards

Bit of a trek but get yourself up to the Wee Chippie in Anstruther.
 
Just Eat operatives clogging up "fast" food queues

They were in the chippy tonight, pushing in with their stupid big bags, mithering the young kids running the place, holding the bloody job up! I have to say, if you're ordering a six of chips on Just (fkin) Eat. I think you need to consider your life choices (to butcher an Obi One Kenobi quote)
 
Fish and chip shops/restaurants that serve up a SHIT product. (There appears to be no direct connection with price.)

It's getting as random as finding good cask ale. And don't get me started on that...

(I have, though, found another decent chippy. Old Man Greenwoods Rawtenstall. Only opens Weds-Friday. If they were all as good as this...)
