The grumpy thread

[chaseracer]

Apparently, there are now twice as many people on the planet as there were when I was born.  Why were fully half of them cocking about on the A45 and the M42 this evening when I was trying to get home?

Lovely, isn't it?  That was back in April 2015 and I see it fairly regularly.

 

Something terrible has happened and this is the good side.

 

Every door is stoved in, the front passenger door glass is now a plastic sheet taped in place, one of the bumper corners has been ripped off.  I don't know what's happened but it looks like someone has taken umbrage at it and beaten seven shades of shit out of the poor thing.

Sadly, no it isn't, it's all too real.  In fact it appears to be normal these days.  People really are getting stupider and stupider.  Which wouldn't be so bad, except they're breeding like fucking germs too!

 

It is a real shame for humanity that there is no IQ test before being allowed to breed.

When some people die they dont actually realise they are dead.

It's the same with stupid people.

It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I have just read the wiki page.

Never heard of a bank robber covering his face in lemon juice - tights usually work better.

Stockings are far better, my hot next door but one neighbour supplies them for me, she thinks they blow off her washing line in the wind, she'd be fuming if she knew the truth

When you die it's not you that suffers, it's those around you.

It's the same when you're stupid.

I think it’s a bug - my phone currently shows that Bluetooth is turned off (icon is grey in the control centre and there’s no Bluetooth symbol next to the battery) yet my watch still works.....

 

Surely this isn’t intended functionality? Surely?

 

EDIT - holy shit it is - “allow new connections” is all that’s turned off

 

Get fucked.

I noticed they quietly turned automatic back-up to iCloud for photos and videos. As I had filmed the girlfriend playing a gig and had about 40 mins video it’s hammered my data this month.

iCloud is doing my head in - I have deleted a contact and it keeps saying “maybe xyz” whenever they call/text now and I can’t find a way to make it stop doing it!

It would have been higher, but I got banned before you I think.

you could always do the sensible thing and throw your appleshite in the bin and have an android phone that does what you want it to do

 

I'd rather push an iPhone than drive an Android

I fucking hate coughing children. Always have... Now one of mine is the coughing one... Going to be a long day I feel, best remember it's my kid and show compassion before Amy gets the grump on with me

[beko1987]

*drives past using a clamshell phone with pull out aerial and actual honest to goodness push buttons* LOOOOOSEEEEERRRRRS

Back in the day I had a Bosch 509e, and remember unscrewing the aerial so it looked like all my mates with their amazing tiny nokia 3210's.

 

It then didn't connect to a network so I had to screw it back in and go back to being poor

[andy18s]

Fucking Facebook group can get to fuck.

 

There was a middle-aged man on yesterday asking what a car he'd spotted was. It was a Ford fucking Granada. Unbelievable.

 

The ignorance amongst people who have supposedly joined a group connected with something that interests them is unreal.

 

Add that the derision poured upon actual shite, the constant 'Have I won?' posts, and the desperate attempts to impress Prab the mod.

 

Fuck right off.

Just Trolling so he gets a shitload of responses and his phone goes nuts.....same guy most days

I still have a "Matrix" Nokia 7110 somewhere.  I wonder.......

And don't let the sprog nick your rollies until the cough gets better

Cat managed to turn on the grill last night, so the house was full of gas this morning. NICE!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Was it doing itself a late-night sausage sarnie? our dog does that sometimes the cheeky bastard

[Guest Hooli]

My dog refuses to cook, she claims she can't without any thumbs.

[Cavcraft]

One of our cats opens the plastic drawer, pulls a packet of cat food out and just tucks in.

A dog I had years ago would open the cupboard, pick herself a tasty potato & crunch it all over the floor.

Not used Paypal for ages - So come to log in today and it is asking for everything under the sun, and sends me some verification code to an old mobile number that i no longer use (In fact i think it got tossed when we moved house).
No worries - A quick google gives me some UK 0800 number, so i give that a call and it's one of those Automated P.O.S - urgh.
Jump through hoops, stick my tongue out and supply all info required, guess what ?

"I'm sorry, but you need to update information for that account", then fucks me off.
  But i can't log in, in order to update the information, Argh !

Why can't i speak to a real person, without ringing America for £££/min

Because if you speak to a real person, you'll probably be ringing Ireland for nothing (just navigating the 0800 number menus correctly this time)?

I thought I was the only one!

I still have a "Matrix" Nokia 7110 somewhere.  I wonder....... 

I've still got one as well but it's in bits because the screen failed on it one day some years ago. Still got some old phones laying around too.

[Ghosty]

I have a Nokia 8210e somewhere. It's tiny and weighs nothing.

I have a 7110, and Motorola V50, and a Razr in the drawer. Really must use the Razr again. Great phone.
