The grumpy thread

[cobblers]

Things like the above are the reason I do my shopping online. But my £120 worth of online shopping just turned up and there was only £48 worth actually here. All the stuff I actually wanted (cheap beer, cheap beef mince and half price rubber johnnies) was "mysteriously" out of stock, but at least they didn't substitute it all. "You ordered Durex Pleasuremax - We delivered Pampers 24 pack" Cunts. Still, I managed to cadge another 6 storage crates off them

[dollywobbler]

We've looked into online shopping, as supermarkets are so intolerable due to the people in them. My wife spent quite a while trying to get onto Tesco's online store, only to find that when she searched for 'flour,' no results were found. Useful! By the way, we really dislike Tesco, but no-one else does home delivery here. The nearest Tesco is still about 40 minutes away, though a store is opening in town. Might quieten things down in Morrisons at least...

[Mr Livered]

Why do people use supermarkets though? What's the point?

[dollywobbler]

Buying in bulk quickly loses its appeal on the high street. We still use a proper butcher for meat though (or even buy direct from a local farm).

Covenience plus I can usually get to sit in my car feeling like every minute is 3 hours. I then log on onto Autoshite, curse at the stupid small text on my 'phone, LOL at people who can't park then get into a MEGATRON 9 level of rage as people who went in after my missus come out with two full trollies of stuff, and half an hour later she saunters out with half a carrier bag full. That's why we use a supermarket.

 

So in answer to your question, I've really no fucking idea.

Clutch pedal gone all floppy disabling the Renault once again a mere 30 miles after the engine was put back together. It seems to be working it's way through the Clio common faults lists in double quick time. Still, at least it doesn't have a sunroof.

[Pillock]

I generally like supermarkets. I can usually chill out a bit, laugh at couples having a massive barney over which brand of chocolate spread to buy, and I get to use the self-scan barcode thing on the trolley which makes me feel giddy.

 

Today though, Sainsburys seemed to have a higher than average ratio of normal people to upper-middle-class mummies failing to control children with "unique" names. The girl messing around with the scales in full view of mummy whilst I was waiting to weigh some fucking veg nearly got a smack with a Cauliflower, for example. 

[Richard]

I think the "big weekly/monthly shop" way of using supermarkets is a false economy. We've saved a fortune since we stopped doing it.

[trigger]

You think your freezer related grumps are bad, Christmas Eve about 9 years ago we was given some food by my dad that he didn't like, I tried to put it in the our freezer but it was only a small one and all iced up, so muggins here thought it would be a good idea to de-ice it using the kitchen knife...

 

I quickly ended up with a face full of toxic gas, a fucked freezer, Christmas food ruined and a then girlfriend going ape shit at me for being such a div... (She still agreed to marry me the next day, so who's the div now?!)

[stuboy]

people who decide lets go shopping on a friday night with screaming kids... dont you realise friday night is singles night at tesco's as we look around the ready meal section/ cat food aisle looking for opposite sex doing the same, while our more funky friends go out on the lash ...

[alf892]

Yeah........supermakets.

 

I was conned into visiting one yesterday...........first time for ages.

 

Looking around at the gene pool displayed there really makes me fear for the future of the human race. Only popped in for a few bits (apparently) so queued at the 10 items or less till. Amazed how many can't fucking count. Idled away a few minutes thinking about how such twats could be dealt with.

 

I could have sat in the car...........but the level of rage reached there on previous trips(beautifully expressed by Billy above) made me think I would be better off inside.

 

I was wrong.

[alf892]

I resigned just after Christmas and have got only 3 weeks to go.............I gave a long notice period because the standard one would have left them buggered and my boss is a good fella.

 

Just found out that they will not pay my bonus!! This was for Jan 13 to Dec 13 and I jumped through all the hoops set but because I leave before it actually gets paid I won't get it.

 

If I walked today it would be pretty inconvenient. I have pointed this out to HR and will give them the day for a rethink.

 

Makes we well grumpy because I earned the bugger and have been very reasonable.

 

Just goes to show...........

[messerschmitt owner]

work - me too. Boss wants to change my job (translated as make me cheaper but more productive). Meeting at 11 supposedly but it's not happening. In the meantime, my assistant, who hates his job, has just handed in his notice.

 

God knows. Was looking forward to what my boss had to say for himself.

[inconsistant]

My Bloody sunroof. Still leaking, so I thought I'd have a 'quick' look at it to see if I could adjust the glass to sit tighter on the seal, so partially dismantled it to have a closer look and now the bastard won't shut. 4 hours later it's stuck open a good couple of inches, just as it started pouring with rain. And I've now got to pay someone to come and fix it too.

 

Horizontal holes in cars are a stupid idea.

[skattrd]

Who thought electronic switches were a good idea? Mechanical ones have been fine fir years.

The electronic switch on the boot of the boring isn't working. I can hear it unlock and it makes a noise when I press the button to open the boot, bit the fucking thing doesn't open.

[saucedoctor]

There's an issue with shit quality boot hinges on those cars. They buckle or something, making the bootlid hard to open. Give it a good old yank, perhaps?

[alf892]

my a4 did that in the drop off zone at Luton airport of all places.........the rod from the actuator solenoid to the actual catch had fallen off.

 

I found this out after having to extract all the cases from inside.........

[chaseracer]

To the incompetent geriatric who 'merged' into the side of the Blingo earlier: find your licence, fold it neatly, place it in an envelope and send it back to Swansea, you fucking cretin.  Why did I have to chase you half a mile to get you to stop?  And your insistence that you got your 12-plate Seat on Motability was hardly germane to the situation.  
 

 

You will be hearing from my insurance company.

 

[bub2006]

The god damn Germans got nothing to do with it.

On a side note i had a escapade like this up Ripley last night. Two way road goes into one way two lane road to either turn left or right. Lights on red so i roll up behind a ford ka and show my intentions by indicating right. Lights go green and the ka keeps left. Checks over shoulder and pulls across to right hand lane. Ka then decides she wants to be in the right hand lane where i am. Cue me hitting anchors and her rear quarter hits my handlebars. She stops and says i didn't see you. I was sat right behind her at the frigging lights with my bikes headlight shining into the car and indicator flashing next to it. Not like she didn't hear me either as the bikes exhaust is a straight through pipe.

best time for shopping is pre 7am or post 8pm (theyre all watching soaps)

Dear Office 365,

 

I have a colour laser printer so have no wish to send all my files to One Note, I'm writing a letter of complaint to post to Scottish Power so get bent.

 

Sincerely

 

My Claypole.

Ebay tossers; going from this

So I told them if they viewed, and liked the car, I'd remove all the stripes etc, and it wouldn't need a respray (!) afterwards, they come back with this gem:

Here is a tip for you then you utter shit spatter, try looking at cars that are up for £400, you might enjoy a better success rate, you chubby digited, spoon faced, twat.

Got home today, went to unlock truck that I'd parked up yesterday after going fetch the dead battery out of the GTA and it's dead flat also!

 

Borrowed the big 40A charger from work and stuck a bit of juice back in it, but yesterday it was fine ffs

 

It's not even that old a battery.

 

Hopefully it'll charge up and stay that way.

 

Only bright note is since it's completely flattened itself the computer has reset, and despite not having any stored codes is running more smoothly than it was before. Yay modern stuff.

Ran brake cleaner over a dyson motor as I normally do and the fucker seized solid! Had to spend £16 on a new one so thats a chunk of profit from that machine gone. The old motor will get torn apart to work out why it seized, then a stern talking to from a hammer if it cant be fixed.

[mercrocker]

Your mistake appears to have been using brake cleaner instead of a Land Rover 110 to run over it.....ALDIZONSRSHIT!
