The grumpy thread

[Mr A Lawrence]

I worked in a factory in Leeds in the 80's and the toilets were a portacabin toilet block.

 

One day someone took a shit in a plastic cup and taped it to the back of the door.

 

Also, it was a wheeze to cling film all the loos first thing in the morning.

Me: in pain with bastard hurting left leg and foot. Me: trying to descend stairs whilst looking like Mrs Doyle trying to get down from cleaning the windows in the parochial house.

This looks a lovely car, doesn’t it? Good impression, decent spec, interior looks in good condition for its miles. ALL 200K+ OF THEM.

 

47,000 my arse.

Look at the wear on the brake rubber. I guess the wheel has been changed as it looks fine.

Look at the MOT history! Conveniently lost the service history, too.

Scum !

My last welding job had toilets were somebody had drawn a dartboard on the back of the trap door. They had written above it "bogie board - have a go".

The idea was you flicked a bogie and treated it like darts. The doorwas encrusted with dried bogies.

I wont even mention king kong's finger which was left in the pan...

[Bren]

Needs flagging up to the vendor if he does'nt know.

[fordperv]

I worked in a parts shop a few years back and the toilet was a dead ringer for the one from trainspotting

[Cavcraft]

I messaged him earlier.

The toilets in the office I work in (a Large Banking Group in London) are fucking disgraceful. Toilet seats often broken from people standing on them (despite signs saying not to), hand towels thrown in the urinals, shitty toilet paper wedged into the bin for the toilet brush rather than flushed

I would say the swindling shitster knows full well what he's done .

Ahh, let me guess their ethnic origin. It'll involve frogshire & their ex-empire I'd suspect.

 

Just because of all the signs I've seen over there saying don't stand on the bog or throw paper in it. Anyone would think the stinky cheese monkeys hadn't got proper sanitation.

Been at daughter #1's.

 

She had her boiler serviced a couple of weeks ago and has had no heating since.  Boiler is three years old.

 

She called the company and just had a load of abuse from them saying she had sabotaged it.

I went and had a look and had to admit defeat - beyond me and wasn't willing to make it worse.

 

Took the manuals home with me and would need a couple of weeks to go through them but there seemed to be contradictions - fault flagged as "No ionization current" which should have shut the boiler down but there was still hot water.

 

She phoned Bosch and they sent a tech out. He was great - the service tech had failed to push a button that told the boiler that there was no remote control (her cats broke it a year ago).

 

He also said the had there been a more serious problem he would have had to leave it as the installation was incorrect

 

She had only just phoned Bosch when there was a bang and the power in the house went out.  When she put it back on the washing machine wouldn't work (3 years old too).  Changed the fuse in the plug and switched it on - BANG and fuse gone again.

 

Been trying to fix her windows, some locked shut - lock mech broken.  Others locked open - lock mech broken

 

Have had a heating engineer out to our boiler last Monday

First visit said the overheat sensor was duff, would return that Friday with a replacement, which that did.

Same fault but not as bad.

Said he would come Friday after 15:45 - I leave work at 15:30.

Note through the door - he had been at 15:25.

A different bloke came yesterday - son at home all day so they would come in the morning - 08:00~12:00.

Arrived at 11 o'clock-ish and left at 15:30.  Replaced the circuit board twice.

Light on stairs that has been on for three years now out - LED light that is on permanently - must have spiked it somehow.

Temperature control for the boiler in the bottom of the cupboard, won't go back on.

Boiler pressure very low.

 

Went to Aldi for some shopping and to get some for daughter - she lost her decent job a year ago and has had a series of low-paying part tie jobs since and is now between jobs, starts a new one in a week or so, so helping with some food as she refuses cash.

At the checkout - came to £308.42, which was a bit more than I had expected.  Cashier had entered 99 punnets of raspberries instead of 4 = easy mistake and soon corrected, bill was actually less that I had expected

Went to fill up diesel and forgot to get a car wash

Sorted shopping out and found I have left a bag of it in the shop

 

Fun day, all told.

[Guest Hooli]

You'd get bored with out all that to entertain* you.

[DVee8]

I'm bored

The Daimler sits in the garage,i can't be arsed doing anything with it.

The BMW is expensive tosh

The Nissan is well,a nissan

I want something,just don't know what something is.

[scaryoldcortina]

You need a MGF.

[DVee8]

You need a MGF.

Errm wasn't that around April,quote "I'll give you a shout" ha mind you may have had other things on your mind.

Do you still have them?

[scaryoldcortina]

Yeah, one I don't want to part with and one that sadly is only worth using for spare parts!

[DVee8]

If you have some time,have a look at the Daimler it wont tick over

[scaryoldcortina]

Ayee, ok. Ring me next week and I'll fit it in. Probably the bloody carbs again...

[richardmorris]

Rust.

 

A spot of the dreaded stuff has appeared on the Bentley, bottom of the passenger side wing. Quite a BIG spot to be honest. I am gutted, which is sad and pathetic as I am a grown man and it is, in the grand scheme of things, a very minor thing, but I am indeed. distraught.

 

Do I get it fixed now or wait and see if it gets any worse? It obviously ain't going to get any better! I'm not sure that keeping cars in the damp garage is good for them, but I did get the Mazda fixed, so 1 up, 1 down!

 

Oh, the fucking dog was a twat today: buggered off and wouldn't come back, Phoebe was dragging around as well as her legs were playing up and so I left the twat to get on with it! I'm sure I would have gone and got him eventually. Pretty sure.... Oh yes, and pain. It is getting to the point where the slightest activity is killing me. So tired and in pain after the slightest exertion I lose all sense of humour and perspective. Kids were out and about and were driving me insane with the fucking noise and I ended up driving like an utter twat as EVERYTHING was annoying me, full use of 7 litre turbocharged engine results in darkies all over the place (trac off) and rapid assent of hills and lots of bullying (by me).

 

Tired and sick, what a fucking life!

 

Wrong time of year for paint from personal experience. Wait until spring, when the air is dryer and a little warmer.

Yep more than likely

What you need is a Renault 30.

[Ghosty]

Gone out to work and the fucking Deliveroo server has shat itself, can’t clock on, support and switchboard are dead too.

Fuck sake, I’ve only got now til 9, and an hour next Sunday.

 

Also, I’ve run out of money.

[DodgeRover]

You would get a lot of Hermes parcels in the back of the Volvo....

[Guest Hooli]

I think you need a proper job Ghosty, one that lets you work & earn money n stuff.

[Sloth in a bowl]

At Mrs Sloth's office, there was a mystery employee known only by the name Poovader.

This name came from the deep breathing noises that regularly came from a toilet cubicle.

[Guest Hooli]

My office has the 'phantom floor pisser' you often need wellies to reach the toilet.

[Tamworthbay]

There is always one dirty fecker, at our place one loo would always be stunk out every morning with six inch long skid marks left for good measure. Once the second in command (a grade A turd - pun intended) left it stopped. We all knew who did it and he was disgusting in many other ways as well.

[MarvinsMom]

now, i'm not afraid to try something new, and i can understand pie sandwich, pot noodle sandwich, even a flippin' crisp sandwich, but this....

 

 

CHEESE WITH JAM??? (edited for predictive text and stupid fingers)

 

WTF????

 

HOW FUCKIN' FOUL!!

 

or is it just me?
