The grumpy thread

[barefoot]

I've not heard a peep today from either the online butcher or the refrigerated couriers.

 

I suspect that I won't be leaving a review, neither will I ever be buying anything else from then ever again.

Surely it won't take you that long to eat your way through it

[madrat]

Leave a review, email them and tell them you are charging them rent, if it's not collected by whenever, you will dispose of it at there expense.

On the other hand you do have a lot of free meat.

TBH with that much free meat everytime I'd become a regular customer!

Even if your exotic sausage tastes like ambrosia(other foods of non-specific deities are available)?

Hayfever. What an utter shitkicking, brainbollocking, arsenumbing turdfest.

My mum burned all my toys one year just before Christmas. My crime? I was playing with her doll and the rubber band that holds the arms on internally snapped. I had to sit and watch. I was about 3 and it's stuck with me all my life.

 

She was hateful old witch sadly not missed.

I probably don’t want to go there but here goes....your mum had a doll? Wasn’t she a bit old for them by the time she had a 3 year son?

 

Did you mean like a collectible porcelain one or something?

 

Anyway, burning all your toys after you broke it was a hateful thing to do.

My sister was in ICU last week, this week thankfully she's down to critical. Yesterday, my step dad found out he had bladder cancer, he received a letter today for a bus lane fine... Oh and one of their dogs has to go to the vets tomorrow as his ears bleeding.

 

Not the best month if I'm honest.

Just found out that my Screwfix 20l Jerry Can isn't actually rated to hold petrol. Bugger. Means I need to buy another one that is now.

Tyres on my Moto Guzzi bike are extremely worn, and I need to use it. The bike was on a SORN as its not been used since last June. Had a few hours spare, so taxed it so I could take the motorcycle tyre "ride in/ride out" specialist.

 

Got there, tyres in stock and at a good price too. Except they couldn't get the wheels off due to the design of the bike. No centre stand, single sided swing arm containing the shaft drive, no lower frame rails and impossible to raise by jacking it under the sump. They were worried that if they tried to jack it up, it would be very unstable, would fall over and get damaged.

 

Bike dealer a mile away used to be a Guzzi dealer, so knows how to raise it safely. Got to wait 10 days as this weather has bought all the summer riders out in their droves, and they all want their bikes serviced. Bollocks.

[MarvinsMom]

moved the black mini from one garage in town, who have singularly failled over the last 10 days to fix the brakes, to another establishment who are more "old school".

 

found out that the clutch is slipping,

 

the heater is stuck on "full" on the hottest april day since godknows when,

 

the seat is uncomfortable, far more so that i had imagined/remembered/thought possible last time i drove it,

 

the indicators which were working now do not,

 

and the brakes which were at least supposed to be "better"than they were, are in fact worse(much worse, and i didn't think that was possible) than before and that at least one of the hubcaps didn't want to be attached to the car.

 

so to reward the hubcap it got stomped on. 

 

repreatedly.

 

well that'll teach it..... maybe....

 

made me feel better though.

 

what a hatefull piece of shit, i really, REALLY hate that fuckin' car.

It was a doll that she had as a girl, nothing special. I can still see it now. Being made to sit in front of the open fire and watch while she chucked my toys and even my teddy bear on it was a deeply impressive moment. I'm surprised I'm not a serial killer!

Two questions if I may.

 

1) Does anybody, anybody at all (and please DO speak up if you do) find this even remotely funny? I see it time and time again on here, and it's grating.

 

2) Those who DO use it, do you congratulate yourself once you've typed it with a mini fist pump, a pat on the back and some tea and medals?

 

Seriously, get to fuck. It's not pithy. It's not witty. There's no impressive wordplay, no humour and certainly no entertainment on offer. It's basic.

 

 

 

In fact, I'd like to broaden my whole argument to include swearing in general. We seem to have forgotten the poetic art of swearing well. Rarely do I meet anybody who's truly mastered swearing; who's fluent in its beautiful magnificence. It is a joy to witness a raconteur unleash "hoofwanking bunglecunt" onto someone, rather than just mumbling "c**t" under their fag stained, lager infested breath.

 

Everyone, including me, needs to raise their game or just give up.

Well said. Two of my biggest issues with this place!!

Just because you tell us you're not, doesn't mean...

I've been browsing eBlag this morning and couldn't find what I need so I made the a trip to Halfrauds who also didn't have it, so I might have to post about it on Twatter to express my displeasure about having to go to the Poxhaul main stealer for the part instead.

 

I agree, its sad, not remotely funny but I'm sure the folk who post it must sit there chuckling at their own wittiness after posting such nonsense, and don't get me started on the OMGSADSPEAK 

 

I'm especially grumpy today as my boss is being a pain in the arse.

Turn your bloody sigs off in tapatalk, I really don't GAF what phone you have posted it from.

That is so sad to read, must have been horrible for you. I really don't get why someone would do that to a child.

She wasn't a terribly nice Mum, I liked living with my Grandparents, they were lovely but she screwed that up as well when they wanted me to live with them permanently.  She did lots of things over the years that would make your teeth curl(!) but this is not the place to recite them to delicate ears/eyes.   

[madrat]

Sometimes I think families were are the worst thing ever.  Many times I wished I was an orphan, still do sometimes.  Lost count how many times I regret ever getting married.

[mrbenn]

Burning your toys is absolutely horrific I'd be off doing a scene from trainspotting if that was me.

10000000 x this. They certainly can have their moments.

 

 

Minor grump today: rude/arrogant people. They're absolutely everywhere. Be it curt, not saying please/thank you when you've done something for them - almost like you owe them somehow, not waving thanks when you've sat there waiting for them to do a 1 million point turn in a car far too big for them (in fairness, they're usually on the phone so don't have a free hand), the list goes on. Main grump is that it annoys me so much. These bastards outnumber the normal folk so it isn't a surprise that I continually encounter them.

Oh god yes, One thing my family did do for me was teach me manners, and I in turn taught it to my kids.

[mrbenn]

It's like people feel that they don't need to make any effort with people. Problem is, it seems to spread. Well, it won't get me. I'm not an arsehole. Well, I am, but I'm a well mannered arsehole.

[barefoot]

Light bulbs.

 

It wasn't so long ago that everything had a simple bayonet fitting.

What is going on now?

I've just bought a new light fitting for my bedroom to discover that I need to get a bulb with an Edison Screw.

The last two I bought have used a Small Edison Screw & a Small Bayonet fitting.

Its enough to drive you barmy.

I still have a lifetime's supply of 40W candle bulbs.

 

Re; swearing.

 

I am really good at swearing and I'll give you an example.

 

I was on a market stall buying some fruit and, you know how it is, when your jumper sleeves ride down & your coat sleeves ride up to reveal your wooly pulley - it's dreadful and I exclaimed, 'Look at the state of me, I look like a fucking tramp!'

The elderly woman to my right looked at me in distain...

Confidently, I countered with, 'Oh, I'm sorry love, I don't think you're supposed to say 'tramp' any more, are you?'

 

The woman smiled and the moment passed.

 

This place is seldom offensive specifically because of the swearing, it's just a place for adults and adult language is used.

Another site I frequent auto replaces shit with marmite and myriad other twatty words. 

I visit and I post, but not with the abandon I do on here.

You should see some of the texts Mrs Madrat gets from people trying to book lessons, This "now" society will end in tears.

^ Re light bulbs. I completely blame IKEA for that. For years they only sold fittings and bulbs of type ES. This softened the UK up for all manner of non standard ness. Grinds my gears, too.
