The grumpy thread

[bub2006]

Tried that,they arent interested. All i get told is im going to be charged for things bouncing.

[Pillock]

What's happened to the DBS system? Mine took about a week tops.

 

As for that Tesco power bank thing - awful. I don't often get involved in shite like that but I'm temped to head to Twitter and ask what the fuck they're playing about at. Big Clive even confirmed that they're rechargeable cells. Also, "this way up" means nothing when 50% of phones have upside down ports so the daft sods that are buying these things are also going to knacker their phones forcing it in.

Went back into care as i love the job and was promised better hours than argos. All good and well but my dbs hasnt come back yet so am on limited hours. Credit card been hammered,more bouncing in my bank account than at the local massage parlour. Spoke to work who have said unsurprisingly there is nothing they can do till dbs comes back even though im signed off fit to work alone. They rang dbs who told them to get me to ring in person and tell them the timescale is causing financial hardship. Rang them up this afternoon. Simple questionnaire to see if i qualify to get it hurried along. Are you behind with the rent? Notvyet but i will be in the next fortnight,are you behind with gas and electricity? No but i will be tomorro. Well i dont qualify for hardship. Basically i have to get myself in more debt to get them to pull their finger out. They wont recompense for bank charges or late payment fees though either so even more expense. Best part was applying for housing benefit. Apparently my pay is just over the threshold to qualify. They suggested selling the car and saving money that way. Great idea when im a fecking home carer ........

Ring back and lie through your teeth, if they ever call you on it say you made a mistake because of all the bouncing DDs

[Mr A Lawrence]

Bub, can't you speak to the people that your DD's are with and ask them to put a hold on things until your sorted?

[bub2006]

Tried that. There doesnt seem to be any holds available these days short term. Everyone wants their cut yesterday.

[Craig the Princess]

Yeah, ring back and say you are behind on everything and the landlord is threatening eviction.

[bub2006]

Problem is i cant lie for shit and they check too.

[somewhatfoolish]

Your credit card is about to explode, what exactly are you fibbing about?

[purplebargeken]

Threaten them with Billy's Corsa B, that'll shit 'em up.

[bub2006]

By telling them im behind already when im not just yet. Electric and gas has bounced today but water and tv has gone out.

[adw1977]

Now would be a good time to talk to your electricity and gas companies, explain your situation before it gets out of hand and you get cut off and/or your credit rating totally wrecked.

[bub2006]

I plan to when im home.

[DodgeRover]

If they bounced you are behind in the payment plan, ring and tell them

[DodgeRover]

Anyway today's grump, fox poo and dogs, why do they love to roll in the stuff, foxes aren't natural prey so they don't need to sneak up by hiding their scent, they aren't big and scary so why try to smell like one.

Puppy has been showered and is clean again for a little while.

 

Off to the Doctor about the Tramadol later.

My dog does that too.

 

She loves a bath/shower as well, so I half wonder if she does it to get a shower when she gets home.

[DodgeRover]

Luckily she doesn't mind getting showered, although she isn't too happy! Our last dog hated it to the point we had to give up as we thought she would hurt herself.

[bub2006]

Fucking tumble dryer died now. No garden to hang clothes out in either means my work tunic is going to be extremely difficult to wash. Fuck it

Whack the heating up and stick it on a rad.

[bub2006]

I honestly cant tell you when i last had the heating on here. Too bloody warm at best if times. I have a plan dorming though involving a fiesta,a mondeo and a lenght of clothes line between them

[alcyonecorporation]

I really wish the Daily Mail would shut the fuck up.

[Hendry]

Washing the auld mans car earlier, noticed one of the wheel nuts was missing, so sent him down the local Ford stealer for a new one, £5.17 for 1 fucking wheel nut!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Haven't seen my mate for a while as he's been having trouble with his wife and she's been really ill after having a baby.

 

The bitch has decided she doesn't love him anymore and he's moved out. They've only just got back together after years of her being a twat getting knocked about by one bloke and knocked up by another. My mate has been around for their daughter and they tried again, him even taking on care for the baby that's not his. He did everything for her when she was really sick in the hospital and now, while on holiday she said it was over.

 

He's not a bad person and has done more than a lot of others would yet she still wants to act like she's 20odd and go out all the time, proper bastard.

[davidfowler2000]

Decided that seeing it's the 5 year anniversary of having the Volvo I'd give it it's first run to my current place of work.

 

 

Then the cunt decides to turn but not fire at the back of midnight when it's home time.

Add a 0 on to the end of that figure and you have my new quote for the Civic... From £600 for three cars to £600 for one. FML.

[Lankytim]

Had a phone call last night cancelling my shift for today, they'd "overestimated demand" apparently. Not sure why their mistake becomes my problem but there you go.

 

Fortunately it was enough notice to find alternative work.

 

If these jokers cancel me at short notice again I'm declining all future bookings. Arseholes.

[hennabm]

Is it me?

Last night my desktop took a download of an update for Windows 10. Didn't have a choice in this, it just did it.

 

Anyway went to it this morning and it will not open Microsoft edge.

 

Thanks a f**** lot Microsoft.

 

Turned it of and let it sulk until I can spare more time.

[The Moog]

Someone from Australia decided they desperately needed me at 2 am.

 

I don't know anyone from Australia. Plus if I don't answer.

.. don't keep ringing you knob.
