The grumpy thread

[Alexg]

These pricks

 

 

Ok I've got my stock response that isn't a 'f**k-off' or a reduced figure that will occasionally yield a sensible discussion, but when did we get so flipping lazy? What sort of negotiation is this? 2 frigging words and I'm meant to give it all up? Twat!

[fairkens]

I usually run with "I beg your pardon", usually don't hear anymore but some people do up their game, slightly

[Alexg]

Not this bloke

 

 

The art of negotiating is dead.

[garbaldy]

When I get how much for cash I just reply with well I don't accept chocolate.

[Cavcraft]

I know, I'll come to work in my 306 to give it a run out, and leave my new car outside safely parked in a corner ( bigger) space.

 

Phone call from next door: 'someone's hit your car'

F*cking wars, at least there's a witness and the car is still there. What car had the other driver got? A Chrysler fucking Neon. What are the chances of that?

[The Moog]

At least when you put in the spurious whiplash claim you can turn up o court on your new steed!

[strangeangel]

Surely anyone with any nouse would politely refuse such an offer and go inside for a cup of tea, leaving the guy stood on the pavement like a gormless twat.

 

Exactly, not much of a negotiating position, is it? I'd have told him to FRO.

When I get these, I reply with the asking + £500. Sometimes they reply, positing (correctly) that this is considerably more than the original price; in that event my retort is that in their particular case a special Retard Tax is applicable.

Put a tenners worth of diesel in the van. Watching counter as you do,got to 10 and went to replace nozzle. Noticed diesel all over the pump,the side of the van,my boots,jeans and a puddle on the floor. Not happy so I told the cashier. Very abrupt with me saying the pump has been fixed yesterday and I must pay for the diesel. Paid up and went back to van reeking of diesel,key in and turned ignition on. Fuel gauge hardly moved. Went to tell her to be met with rudeness again. If you are not happy SIR then call brobot customer services. Why cant folk just say sorry on behalf of the company?

[Cavcraft]

And so the insurance saga begins...

[the judge]

Fucking whaaaaaat? Fixed yesterday?? I think not fucko!!! Complain away old boy,sharpish!!! Cheeky cow

[bub2006]

Not sure best course of action to be honest

[Craig the Princess]

What type of petrol station is it?

[scaryoldcortina]

Complain to the station operator, the head office of the brand they are selling and the local trading standards.

 

If that doesn't work try setting fire to a car on their forecourt.

[bub2006]

Jet petrol station just outside of clay cross on stretton tops. Run by brobot.

I rang customer services which was brobot. Said id receive a call back but still waiting.

[bub2006]

Thanks Craig. I'll ring brobot again tomorrow as well as het. Don't want folk to think I'm making a song and dance though. By god diesel don't half linger.

[garbaldy]

I cant believe you managed to get nearly 10 litres on you before you even noticed. or should that be without you noticing.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I can

[bub2006]

I was tired and it was late. The nozzle was feeding back through handle. Mr bollocks I don't need smart comments tonight of all nights thanks

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Sorry Bubster!!

Get down the pub

 

Some girls love the smell of diesel. Not the aftershave, actual diesel ☺

[MarvinsMom]

smells like...... victory?

M3 closed, so all local roads packed. Dozy girl in a Peugeot thing on the phone as her face lit up like Christmas and head looking at lap drives (albeit slowly) through a red light and nearly hits me as I am crossing th junction on green. I did swear at her- I was soaked and had been in work 11 hours.

Put point break on and watch what Patrick Swayze does in the gas station.

The mistake that guy made was extending any sort of courtesy to somebody who agreed a lower price before turning up. I don't mind doing that, but it becomes a pre-agreed sale at that point. It's made clear they can't negotiate anything else off, poke around it or have a test drive - they can just turn up with the money (all of it, no excuses about cashpoints) and take it at a time that suits me with no effort on my part. No picking them up from anywhere, taking a deposit, preventing anyone else from looking at it, storing it for them, fitting around their schedule, cups of coffee or use of the toilet.Reasoning? As a general rule of thumb, people who knock money off before seeing it are usually timewasters so there's no point entertaining any courtesy further than use of a pen to fill the V5. If someone knocks £250 off a car and still can't figure out how to get to your house, they are clearly braindead and not worth the hassle.

My size 9 would have saved him the cost of a train ticket.

I kicked someone out of the library today.

 

Some women followed another lady in and started kicking off. We were there for story/craft so when one of them shouted the f-word I dropped my sequins and stormed through.

 

"GET OUT"

 

 

And they did.

 

 

Wasn't expecting that. But fancy trying to pick a fight in a library!?! Have some decorum!
