The grumpy thread

[Jazoli]

Other peoples parents, eldest Daughters boyfriend had his car written off by a muppet, the insurance pays out and he asked me to find him a new car, budget around 2k, I lined up a Bini a golf and nice fiesta to look at, his parents took him to a 'friends' garage and he got fleeced for £2.7k for a ropey ten year old Peugeot 206, I was/still am furious, the car is worth a grand tops, the icing on the cake being its broken down twice now and I've had to spend my time fixing it because he has no money left to sort it, what utter cocksockets his parents are, the poor lad is at uni and has wiped his savings out on a shit car, and is now resigned to the fact he is effectively stuck with it till it dies.

 

I know nothing about cars, according to his parents, I've owned over 50 and never really bought a bad one, fucking wankers

£2.7k for a ten year old 206, fuck me! There's a guy round the corner looking to sell one similar for £995 and I thought that was a bit toppy, poor lad

I learnt a few years back to never offer assistance when a (non-car) person asks if I can help them find something.

I know that sounds harsh, but even your closest friend will not take advice if they think they know better.  Also, it'll come back to bite you anyway when it needs a set of pads three months later.. so, simply smile and say 'good luck'..

[fordperv]

Bloody idiots, it's a real shame that they have fucked their son over without knowing it, i love people who know better

[Jazoli]

Yep, he wouldn't listen to me when I said it was way way overpriced, he felt pressured by his parents to buy it because they always buy from a garage and have never had an issue, I ran the fault code reader on the ecu and there was a shitload of error codes, the car is fundamentally ok but I wouldn't have paid more than £800 for it (but I'd never buy one anyway) the trader (one man mechanic in a small village who sells the odd car) and his parents have royally fucked him over, I could have got him so much more for his money, which would have been worth more than 50p in 6 months time.

[MrDuke]

You can't reason with people like that I'm afraid - they'll probably make him MOT it at Halfords or KwikFit too.

 

If he's remotely bright, he'll eventually figure out the fact that he's been ripped off, and that his parents know f***-all.

[stephen01]

Having to renew pads and discs on the Herald, discs pitted really bad. Also needs the calipers rebuilding. Not a massive cost but I could do with out it.. 

[robinmasters]

Someone on the Facebook group has posted a picture of a Mercedes C220 cdi and a BMW 320d without a hint of irony.

[chaseracer]

What Facebook group...?

 

[Richard]

If you're going to use Facebook you might as well just engage with bell ends in real life and save the cost of Internet access.

Don't you just love people like that.

[sporty-shite]

Natwest fucking bank. Once again, they've allowed direct debits through on a weekend, without clearing payments in, and left us without available cash. This would be bad enough, but when your card declines and the scumbucket woman behind the shop counter get all "attitude" it can get a bit annoying.

 

Checked online banking this morning, to also be greeted by the sorry sight of still very little money once all is cleared. Again, bad enough, but Volksy has offered to swap his Celica for the 306. I really want another Celica, but really need some money out of the Pug, and really should keep the super economical ZX.

 

Fucking life. Bollocks.

[gordonbennet]

£2.7k for a 10 year old bastard 206?? 'kinell, those bloody things would break down often enough as we loaded them at Ryton.

 

Poor young feller.

Poor young fella? For being 21 and still doing what his mummy and daddy tell him.

 

As for spunking £2700 on a complete girls car thats really only worth a grand, there is only one winner here and thats the dealer who took the chance of advertising a shitty pug 206 for nearly 3 grand. He who dares etc etc...

[Bobthebeard]

Went to the cinema with Mother Beard and Mrs Beard to watch 'Mr Turner' last night. A film depicting the life of said artist. WTF? Was prepared to give it a go, and possibly enjoy it, but after almost two hours I mumbled my excuses and left. It gets rave reviews from the critics of course, but it was dire IMHO. I iz a philistine it seems.

Went for a walk instead whilst they sat it out. They claimed to enjoy it.

[saucedoctor]

We went to see "Fury" t'other night. What I thought of it rhymes with Brad Pitt.

[EssDeeWon]

Popped to get some tea from Maccy D's this evening (yeah I know, not a good start to the week).

 

Me; Do you want anything?

GF: No thanks

Me: Sure??

GF: Yep

Me: ok

 

So I get home and open the bag and she starts scoffin my chips!

 

FUCK SAKES!!

Being fucked by parents does not. Thank god.

And the classic order something in a restaurant then decide they don't want it when it arrives and she wants mine instead.

Weird psychology.

Saw Mr Turner at the weekend and learnt something new. 1000 scenes full of great acting, wonderful dialog, period details and fine direction still make a crap film if there is no story to be told.

Fight back, brother. Next time, order the same thing she does.

Joey doesn't share food!

[Lankytim]

People who agree to buy stuff and then melt away into the ether- emails forwards and backwards, parts removed ready to go and then no further contact. One very large item is being couriered and I spent ages bubblewrapping it and boxing it up, it's now sat around waiting for payment before I send it.

 

I'm hopeful the phantom prospective buyers will finally show up but it's still quite annoying.

[jakebullet]

Ebay twats are turned up to eleven tonight.

 

The winner is a magician who claims I've only sent him 5 dice and he ordered 20. Really? That is fucking magic considering I sent them second class this afternoon. Can you warp speed delivery all my other parcels too?

 

Runner up is man who says it won't let him buy. This could be something to do with you tried to screw me last week. Fool me once and all that.

 

Honourable mention to arse who's bought 4 valve caps tonight and has paid for first class, so he'd better get them Wednesday or else.

 

Sprinkle in some item not received cases, garnish and serve.

[Angrydicky]

People who gob on the floor. Fucking disgusting, I'm forever trying to avoid treading in the little piles of gob as I'm walking along the pavement.

 

Why do they do it? Maybe it's got something to do with their hero twat footballers doing it on the pitch. I dunno.

[trigger]

Why do some blokes gob in the urinal when having a piss too? I've pissed lots of times and have never felt the need to gob first.

Hate that too,  I see it alot round my manor.

 

Some people are dragged up as were their fathers and their fathers before them, for these people gobbing on the floor, lobbing litter out of a car or swearing loud in public is the norm and always will be.

And just how does that make him an arse then?

Everything I've bought and opted for first class has been delived the next day.

Even yodel managed to collect a light from my house at 3pm and deliver it to southland before the next day was out, that was on the 48hr delivery too.

Also neighbourhood fat and lazy scum who throw their fag butts on the ground next to my motors.

 

I'd rather not walk through your spittle drenched wads of cotton shit, you wankers.
