The grumpy thread

[Louise2cv]

There's not loads and I think it's 99% said in an irony.

 

I also appreciate when the swears are used to comic effect it just seems to have increased greatly lately.

 

I feel like an uptight whinger now.

[ruffgeezer]

I have to admit I don't like the FB page b3 cause they are all to ready to drop the C-unit at any given moment.

 

Yep they are all just words but you completely devalue curse words when you pepper every sentence with them.

[bub2006]

Sorry for any upset I've caused to the folk I know here. I usually stay placid as people who know me will know but having some hassle on has rubbed me up the wrong way and I've got a bit pissed off with things. Sorry.

[The Moog]

Can I take my angry pants off?

[Tamworthbay]

Are they the ones that are three sizes too small?

[The Moog]

Absolutely ... With the wrong day of the week on them

Well done guys, Conor is now confused and angry about the KKK/smart car picture. He says it's weird and strange and what on earth does it have to do with anything anyway?

[andrew e]

I've got an 04 kia. Starting to think I'd best fuck off

 

Yo Bub I bought an 04 Kia new! It was ace! Then the Mrs remodelled on an Iveco. I've had Voyager, Zafira, Vectra, etc since so don't take heart when you get ribbed on a forum - I've had the public at large abusing me

Conor is not the only one who doesn't understand what is all about.

I don't understand what it's about either, I thought it was just some random gubbins that wasn't intended to have any deep meaning.

[FakeConcern]

I've said this before and it's probably in the wrong thread, but the Piccasso is the future Morris Minor.

[Sheefag]

A Picasso would make a great base for a Q car, has it been done?

[Parky]

What, like some sort of V6 Turbo version?

[Sheefag]

Exactly

 

[John F]

Fast Pickarseholes do exist, and the result isn't entirely gopping:

 

[Sheefag]

That's shite, it's only got 4 wheels. This is what I'm talkin' about. You can never lose any argument when you've got 6 wheels.

 

[bub2006]

They only made a 2.0 auto version but chompy snake pulled the 1.8 out of mine I sold him and fitted the 2.0 to manual box.

[wuvvum]

If I may interject with a non-Picasso-related grump...

 

 

Today at work I got told that I'm being moved to a different department as of the 26th of this month (it was supposed to be the 19th but I'm on holiday that week).  I realise that compared to those who are being made redundant it's a fairly minor grump, but it's really pissed me off.  I've been in my current position for 5 1/2 years, I get on well with the people, I know the work and have a good relationship with clients etc.  Where I'm moving to I vaguely know a few of the people, but they have a completely different method of working which makes absolutely no sense to me, I don't know any of the clients and for the first few weeks I'm going to be back to being a clueless n00b again, which will really piss me off.

 

The stupid thing is that I'm being moved because the department I'm going to is desperately short staffed, but my current department is short staffed as well and once I go things are going to start getting desperate there.  The entire thing just really pisses me off, and it's exemplary of the way the operation is run - short-termist, on-a-shoestring, robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul bullshit from managers who haven't got a fucking clue (and don't really give a shit) about the work that actually goes on on the floor and just manage everything purely by numbers.

 

The long and short of it is that I now intend to hand in my notice as soon as reasonably practicable.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do next - I'm going to be thinking long and hard about my future over the weekend.  I may decide to finally pull my finger out and do my HGV - which will entail a major fleet sell-off (the fleet is too large as it is - 15 even after the Primera goes) to fund the course.  Problem is that I haven't really got any "extraneous" cars in the fleet any more (the Alfa will become surplus to requirements once the Rover of Doom is back on the road, and the MGF I'm not particularly bothered about, but neither of those is worth anything really) so I'm going to have to start selling cars I really want to keep, which is going to piss me off even more.

 

Did I mention I'm pissed off?

 

 

I'm going to shut up now as I'm winding myself up and it's nearly bedtime.

[michael1703]

Oh, he is "done with me now". Well, thats me put in my place I am sure.

 

 

Another for the list.

Is anybody else thinking who has a username that ends in a Y?

[dollywobbler]

This isn't going to sound like much comfort Wuv, but change at work can be good. If I look back to all the shitty jobs I've had, things have almost always improved in the next job. If I didn't quit within a few days because of how shit it is, but that has only happened twice in my life (Mr Clutch and a meter reading company). There are times I've been angry when I either failed to get a job, or a change was forced on me, but when I look back, it worked out alright in the end (and I'm not on about what I currently do, before that). 

 

TL;DR Hippyshit. EMBRACE CHANGE! I didn't mean to shout that. Sorry.

[Richard]

It's not a username, it's the end of a month.

[Louise2cv]

Nah, the user name ends in d.

[Parky]

I end in Y but I don't think I have pissed anyone off. Well not outside of the EU thread anyhow (which was a big mistake all round but I think we all learned our lessons from that one)

 

My grump? Want to sell Leon. Have to get dents and scratches sorted. Can't locate cheap silver wing anywhere so have to use body shop and they want £545.

 

Wouldn't mind if I had inflicted the damage but this is the result of a tile falling off neighbours house. Neighbour won't give insurance details, my insurer will slaughter me on NCD loss (and my excess will mean I still end up paying for most of the bill anyway) so my grump is once again I lose out because other people and insurers are bastards, shysters, and various other profanities.

 

Uninsured drivers, uninsured neighbours, irresponsible other people. Sartre was bloody right you know

Not some sort of small claims court option here?

Edit: TADT.S, great minds think alike. Just some of them type more quickly.

Am I the only who didn't quite get this because KKK is a Künlhe, Kopp & Kausch turbo?

[Parky]

Yeah, thought about this but I would need to prove some sort of negligence on the neighbours part and considering the tiles came off in a storm its negotiable as to whether it was his fault. I do wonder whether the insurers attitude would have been so casual if a child had been hit and killed but there you go....

 

And what's more, he wouldn't show up or respond to paperwork as whilst he is a nice enough guy, he is fucking incompetent. How many men do you know who need to ask their neighbour to help them change a lightbulb for example?

 

he rents the house now, I bet he isn't insured. Might ask the tenants as I am sure it is the landlords responsibility. I mean I dont care about his place, but if his burns down and takes mine with it and he isn't insured, I will probably murder him.

[Sheefag]

If he doesn't respond, you get judgement by default. It's online, it's run by the Government, it's painless and it works.

Cheers Papa, I'll look into it
