The grumpy thread

Never knew he had AA inspect his shite ??

Those 'polite' hi-vis should be illegal - they're trying to get you to slow down by deception (impersonating police?)

Bloody hell, that does look like a murder scene from CSI. 

 

Excellent spurting ability!

Agreed, hope you're ok Fred.

 

Re horses, I suspect the riders would be the first to complain if one of us went and shat all over a bridle path, and rightly so. I've nothing against horses, cyclists (I am one) or whatever but there needs to be some responsibility taken towards keeping yourself and other road users safe.

 

The number of cyclists round here on 3k worth of bike but no bloody helmet absolutely beggars belief.

[danthecapriman]

Shit me Fred! I'm surprised you didn't pass out from blood loss. Looks like you've tried to drain yourself! Hope you get better.

 

 

Some people really do need a good kicking when it comes to their animals shit though. When I'm at work working in substations, some of the bad areas are literally filled with dog shits that the tosser neighbours have flung over the fence. It's everywhere, on the ground, all over the equipment I'm there to work on. Some of them the stink is unbelievable, it's a health hazard.

But there's worse still, I've been in a few where there are piles of rotting baby nappies that have been thrown over the fence, its disgusting.

Just got a parking ticket

 

There is a small music shop in town that I do some work for, until recently there were double yellow lines outside but a month or so ago a loading bay was added right outside the shop. I parked in it because I was there to collect some speaker cabinets that need repair.

 

It took about 10 minutes to fetch them from the cellar and take them outside, during that time a civil enforcement officer ticketed me for parking in a loading bay without loading and vanished again. I've put in an appeal already, but how hard would it be to stick his head round the door of the shop and ask if the car (with the back seats down) was to do with the shop or just parked.....

 

Gits. Now I get to wait and see what they say because you can only appeal by email or post.

[dollywobbler]

I have a 100% success rate at appealing parking tickets. Even though I was actually wrong twice! Having parking wardens paid on a commission basis is just stupid. That encourages a lack of common sense.

[scaryoldcortina]

This was my first ticket in 21 years of living here.

[Negative Creep]

406 not feeling healthy at all - constant "grindy" vibration through the clutch pedal seems to point to something being amiss within the gearbox. Was a paragon of reliability for a year the the radiator, window (ok, not the car's fault) and this in close proximity. Still, maybe I'll win the raffle and all will be fine?

[Noel Tidybeard]

shirley the gadgee in the shop will "give evedence" as to you being loading

[brownnova]

Don't you just hate it when telesales people speak to you like you're their best mate, not a customer!!

 

'Reece' (probably the campest telesales rep) from EE even had the audacity to respond with sarcasm when I told him I was ending the call as I hadn't asked for him to call and didn't want whatever he as selling...

 

I'm the customer you little moron!

 

Gets on my nerves that does... Which must mean I'm getting old and grumpy!!

[brownnova]

The fact he phoned whilst i was building Ikea furniture probably didn't help!!

this has been pissing me off for the last week

[Pillock]

A mystery grump. As I posted in the Lisa Riley thread, I've got a dashcam.

I took my car for a service yesterday. Actually, subgrump is that my lease company sent me an email confirming the booking, the garage had no record - but that turned into a grin because the VX dealer were brilliant and squeezed it in anyway, and I got a grovelling email from the complaints dept of the lease co.

 

Anyway, car came back with 8 miles on the trip (all mileage I do is logged for fuel card purposes) and files deleted from the dashcam. Apparently it moved nowhere between me dropping it off in a "service parking" space, and someone moving it from the "MOT parking" bay the other side of the carpark to a parking space. 8 miles seems a lot for an oilchange.

How do you know he's called shirley?

 

Yeah, he said straight away that he would, I've put his number and email in my appeal.

You can load on double yellow lines.

[scaryoldcortina]

I know, and I did on many occasions.

 

That's why it's particularly irking to get a ticket now they've actually added a loading bay!

[HH-R]

I sometimes have to legitimately load at one of the sites at work, but the (council) wardens are so on the ball that I never bother. I park and break my back carrying stuff instead. You just know they'll have a ticket on within seconds and not listen to any protest.

 

They ignore people who park less than foot away from junctions so you have to pull out blind, though. That's fair game.

Re: person harrasssing me over Scirocco bumper.

It went for £1.20. He has attempted to ring me 13 times. I swear someone on here is having jokes with me. But if not...

 

I stated on the auction 'Collection Only'. Bidder wins auction. Winner assumes 'collection only' means, collection by a courier. Winner seems to think I'm going to stay in all day, somehow print a courier label out on a printer I don't even have, and package it appropriately. If I wanted to do that, I'd put 'I can courier'. All this for £1.20. I knew I should've chucked it in the fucking River Mersey.

 

I promised nothing!!!! The stinking miserly twat wanted it delivering even though it said COLLECTION ONLY.

At least it shows the old ticker is still pumping well, Carpet cleaner bloke came today, was gonna be friday but sent him a pic, and he is coming in the morning, so tonight I am residing in a Murder scene !!

[jakebullet]

Bought 4 builders bags of logs for £120 delivered. Bloke turns up and dumps full to overflowing bags on the pavement, and doesn't even want his bags back. Win!

 

Or that's what I thought at first. 2 hours of dragging the heavy bastards round the house n stacking them later it feels like I've fucked every muscle possible. I hope it's going to be a warm winter cos i'm not doing that again.

You want Mr Number app. Works well on Android. Don't know if it's available on sheep phone.

I've had the sub full of nappies a couple of times and several full of general rubbish.

Never had dog shit though. Urgh!

[scaryoldcortina]

We just took on a vacant allotment - while strimmmering the weeds I found a whole load of dog shit bags (all tied) that some twat had been chucking away instead of taking home. Luckily I didn't get any with the strimmer but ffs.

[HH-R]

The dirty bastards round here just leave it all over the paths for you to tread in. Probably not a popular view, but I don't think people should be allowed to keep dogs in built up areas. Too many irresponsible morons spoil it for the responsible owners.

 

The council have spray painted "pick it up" or something on the paths, there's usually a steaming turd on top of the writing.

[Junkman]

In France, there are free bag dispensers for dog owners in pedestrianised areas.

Not that it helps much, mind.

[ruffgeezer]

Yeah but then then the mucky cunts bag it and sling it in the nearest tree like some filthy stinking Christmas baubles.

[fred]

Hey ho, my cat has his toilet, no harm done, Dogs may be clever at certain things, but cats know how to be decent, and clean - well most of em
