FFS,the self entitlement of some people is just mind boggling. 🙄 I'd politely tell him to bring it back. Open the door, take the keys out, hold door open so they can get out. Close the door, lock it. Go back inside your house, say nothing. Leave the prick on your drive. motorpunk, twosmoke300, myglaren and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a better look in daylight, foot prints on the bonnet, windscreen , roof and hand prints on the rear window, Oh how i didn't laugh. Soon be on tic-twat today no doubt for a few likes. But Tesco has gorrila gaffer tape at half price with the clubcard. Tape up the mirror like Jack Duckworths glasses, and the rest go on the 406 bully if i catch them Remspoor, AnnoyingPentium, Fumbler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'd say it's reasonable to assume a mobile phone is private, in any case there's nothing medically or personally sensitive about the time of an appointment being changed.

It had enough diesel to get to work. 40 miles. So I put enough diesel in it for the 2 days id been promised (I estimated 40 mpg x 40 miles x4 = 4 gallons. So I put in 20 litres. It was more economical than my estimate, I had it 3 days, and handed it in with enough diesel to do 100 miles. Because that's how it works. The Next bastard that has it will do 80 miles and hand it back with the fuel warning light on. Having saved 8 quid. chadders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadders Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 So you put in enough to last 2 days by your estimate and you got 3 days out of it at no additional cost. I hope that your estimations of your morning cereal allocations are more accurate otherwise you might find yourself hungry and have to eat some of the cakes that a kind person has put by the coffee machine.

When our local one opened up after lick down , the drive thru queue bought the town to a standstill as it backed up to the main traffic lights in the town centre, and at one of the services on the M6, they had blocked the entrance . If it had been one where you came straight off the motorway, it would have been really dangerous. All the more stupid , is they queue for the drive thru, when you could park up and walk in quicker, and you don’t get the smell and grease all over your car. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many junctions and roundabouts with traffic lights. Too many queues. And then I get onto those country roads with people doing 40 in a 60 and I'm forced to overtake. Gets 42 mpg on a straight run at 70 mph with cruise control on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that they seem to treat you as part of the same queue, unless you use the self ordering points. Not that I've been to one since Jan 2020. And have decided I probably never* will again.

But when I enquired just before covid hit I was told they don't do it anymore. My doctors then went into full 'fuck off and don't come here unless it's for a covid jab' for the last few years so I haven't bothered. Tbh I'm gonna bend over and pay and hear again then maybe call up and enquire if the world calms down in a month or so. The car isn't going to sound as smooth or quiet anymore though 😂 twosmoke300 and mercedade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
