The grumpy thread

[sheffcortinacentre]

It's hard to do but for your health fuck it off you'll feel better.

My delightful* neighbour Mrs. CUNT has been out screaming in the street at the old lady who lives opposite cunt. Cunt has decided the space in front of Hazel's house is her "reserved" space, for parking of her chav mobile only. She is extra special, and cannot possibly walk an extra 3 yards if she parks behind Hazel's car.

Hazel is unsurprisingly upset at being called a fucking old twat, and being threatened with getting her fucking teeth kicked in if she parks there.

Any top tips, other than a sponsored set fire to chavved up disco day?

[andyberg]

That's threatening behaviour. Tho I don't really expect the plod to do anything about it, but worth a try maybe?

I guess the problem is that once they've been round to speak to her, she'll then probably launch a vendetta against the poor neighbour. With people like this, sometimes you need to bide your time and wait for something big to grass on that'll actually have repercussions for them

[jakebullet]

Hazel's daughter went to have a quiet* word with Mrs Cunt only to get a barrage of abuse, and to be told Cunt is phoning the police right now as daughter is trespassing on her property, and the police will also be arresting Hazel because she's illegally stopping cunt from parking where she wants to. Clearly cunt has been on the special drugs today.

Vendetta is already in full swing, as cunt has previously asserted her rights* to the space. No doubt it's her placing bottles & nails under Hazel's car wheels. Hazel going to get a ring doorbell, though not sure if having evidence will actually help.

I'm sure the police soon put them right if they show.

Then it's another black mark against neighbours...

Is Hazel and others who are affected keeping any sort of log/diary for future reference?

There's one neighbour who keeps a decent log on here.

[Zelandeth]

It's absolutely worth reporting it.  Firstly if heaven forbid violence ever did result (not necessarily just to the neighbour), if there's prior history of threatening behaviour on file from this individual it makes the life of the police a lot easier to get things moving quickly and to help make any charges stick because it's not just a one off in incident.

Also this sounds like the sort of crazy individual who they might already have their sights on but short of sufficient probable cause to actually intervene.  A report of them threatening an elderly neighbour to the point they fear for their safety could well be exactly what they need to kick things off.

Make absolutely sure though that if they at any point feel that they fear for their safety that they call 999 without delay.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

It would be very funny if CND calls the Police for trespass, especially as criminal trespass only applies in very specific circumstances.   And this isn't one of them.  Would love to see her head explode at that one...

[jakebullet]

I'll pass on suggestions to Hazel.

She's had a visit from Mr. cunt now, saying please park somewhere else. Mrs. cunt's car cost 30K, and Mrs. cunt must be able to see it at all times for insurance purposes.

£30K for a cat S 2010 disco. Riiiiiiiight.

Apart from anything else mate, you need to do a lord Lucan and get yourself somewhere to give your mental state a good rest

Possibly a Reggie Perrin?

Similar outcome but slightly less murdery.

I'm not that bothered by the cunts now the aircon is gone. Just get her swearing at her kids drifting thru the wall. I've ordered myself an electric guitar and am on the lookout for a fuck off sized amp. As I have no musical talent whatsoever they're going to love to join me on my learning journey.

Plus any attempts at criminal damage by having bottles/ nails being placed under Hazel's tyres need reporting..

Check out your local free ads for someone giving a set of bagpipes away! 🤣

[GrumpiusMaximus]

It has always been my ambition to learn the bagpipes.  Now I can live vicariously through @jakebullet

[vulgalour]

Tonight I have signed up to the local gym.  That's not the grump.  They have a fitness app I would like to use, it is available easily enough through the Google or Apple Store.  I am lumbered with a Google device so that's the choice.  Only I can't get it to install.  Hilariously, when I try to log in to my Google on the phone it tells me the password is wrong.  I use the exact same password on the PC, no bother.  It's not flagging up a 'unknown device' or similar at me, it just refuses to work.  Then it decided to make the page for actually downloading on the phone go so slowly as to be unusable.

I'm also told this is normal and people are okay with it.  That can't be right.  I thought the whole point was the convenience, and so far I can think of only one instance when having a smartphone was convenient and that was only because I didn't have my dumbphone with me at the time to make a phone call.

Scammers reaching a new low today:

Someone my wife knew has recently died - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68435343

So she gets an invite to his funeral online, but the website wants card details to verify identity, but that no payment will be taken. Next thing is she's getting a call from the HSBC fraud department saying that the scammers are trying to take money! I'm guessing they must trawl social media for people who've died, and then go after the friends and relatives.

I think they should be traced , lined up against a wall and a large tower pc inserted sideways ...

For some reason I've started watching Warhammer 40k videos on YouTube.

I'd assumed my spotty nerd years were 25 years in the past..

Inevitable is unfolding on Twitter/X

Chris Pollitt has another episode of depression. Crowdfunder tries to raise a few bob for him. Accidentally raises nearly £20,000. Car is quickly restored and immediately on the market at a chunky price. Folk feel a bit aggrieved. 

Anyone who raises an eyebrow will be quickly shut down.

I try to see everything positively, but it all feels a bit charlatan. 

Is he ok? Obviously he blocked me on X but it looks like he had a full blown episode last night and disappeared. Everyone frantically panicking. 

Weirdly, it looks like all that free money hasn’t helped with the root cause. 

If anyone here knows him, I hope he’s ok and is now getting proper help. Proper help, not cash.

Surprisingly not as always I’m one of the few who actually turn up and do the job

[Metal Guru]

Bird shit on my car today.” Big deal “ I hear you say “what’s unusual about that?”

Well I was parked for about 10 minutes and it looked like it had been through a car wash run by sea gulls. There would have been less if I’d parked at Whitby and spread my fish and chips out on the roof.

Indespension hitch locks are actually quite secure if you don’t have the keys

No prizes for guessing how I know this.

Sorry, made me chuckle

These cheap shitty cables have given me nothing but trouble, and the site I'm working at is full of the fucking things.

The connectors are so shitty that it was causing my tester to fail them, cue:

Earth cont: Fail.

*jiggle connector*

Earth cont: Pass

Oh good, I'll just double check it...

Earth cont: Fail

Gets a bit boring after the fiftieth time!
