The grumpy thread

WHY would you advertise a 7 year old £4k car and then not disclose on the advert that it has no MOT?

It was just what I was looking for to replace the Mini as well.

There must be a good reason...

I almost bid on that white MX5, but then decided I couldn't be arsed to go all the way to Scouseland for it.  Bloody bargain though.

The bloody woman I told months ago that 'I really am NOT interested' is still pestering me. Mark came up today to have a 'quiet' word with me as she collared him yesterday to sound out how I feel about her! He did tell her but he reckons she 'ain't listening' and she really isn't. Thank God she doesn't know where I live!

Short of telling her to 'FUCK off!' what else can I do?

Tell her you're gay?

Went to Liverpool for an interview with an agency for a specific job. All went well,  hours and money sound great, that'll do me. Passed on going to another two interviews for the same job in different areas on strength of it. Today was induction day, a 30 odd mile round trip. Gets there, very nice bloke from the company involved, but the hours are totally different to what's stated (half the amount, and every Saturday in) so jibbed that idea.

 

It was only part-time, just for a few weeks over Chrimbo.

2 doors up who told me to shift my car the other day, has started to put her wheelie bin in the road to stop others parking there. Bear in mine the street is quite empty.
For some reason, that I can't quite put my finger on, this has made me very angry indeed. It's totally irrational but I want to launch her fucking bin through her fucking window.

Sounds about right for a certain sort...

FFS.

Hoping you let the company bod know in no uncertain terms that their agency of choice has been utterly misrepresenting the job on offer, to make it sound significantly more appealing than it actually is.

I've been snared by this before; the agency are taking a gamble on you having no choice and just having to suck it up - while they still collect their fee, and quite likely a cut of your wages too.

I don't hate all agencies on principle, as I can see a need for the services they offer (and have been at both ends of the chain) - but, by cracky, they are severely overrepresented amongst the white-Audi-cabrio-on-finance brigade...

If she has a car, wait until she parks it close and chain her wheelie bin to the back of it.

Simply buy a Honda C90 and go chariot racing with her wheelie bin.

Work has a bunch of shuttle buses going between offices - nice new Transit 17 seater things. Supplied by the local bus company. Today’s driver obviously spends his time driving automatics - he can’t drive a manual for toffee 

Poor clutch will be lucky to last the day. 

[paulplom]

She's maybe forty and quite fit but a bit of an arrogant cunt and never speaks to anyone.
Her boyfriend is actually okay and I've had a bit crack with him now and then. He's punching above his weight, is just a yes man and puts up with her shit, baby sitting her young kids etc.
I haven't got the time of day for ignorant people. Manners and being polite cost nothing.
He was telling me they've ticked on their nissan puke. 4 years old on a 5 year plan. It's obviously more prescious than everyone elses vehicles.
They've just both pulled up and put the bin on the path. I'm standing at the gate smiling at them. They must think I'm nuts

It's always useful to generate a perception to the wanker neighbours that you are either a bit nuts, very angry or both - for maximum leave me the fuck alone, don't interact on any level, or pester me with your shitty issues effect.

[Mr Pastry]

That wheelie bin looks like it is obstructing the public highway - you could call the law.  My neighbour does the same thing, but it is an off street parking area and not on public land so I can do nothing about it.   She doesn't have a car, I have never parked in her space, which is next to mine, and wouldn't do so.  Yes it make me very cross.....

[Kiltox]

Public road? Set fire to the fucking bin.  Show her you’re mental. 

Don’t get me started on fucking residential parking though. Fucking just don’t. 

[paulplom]

My partners not back in yet.
He's gone to work in it. With a bit of luck she'll park there oblivious.

Try smearing dog shit on the Wheely bin handle!

[paulplom]

Some great ideas here. I've done that with car door handles before.

Set fire to the crazy cows bin 

[omegod]

Take the wheels of the bin ! see if the bint can be arsed dragging the fucker

Complete traffic chaos ( again ) this morning as, for the third time in one seven days the m3 is totally blocked by an accident where the m3 approaches the m25 junction. It’s always the same place. I two solid miles of queueing cars cycling in to work- the m3 was solid back to fleet services which is ten miles.

[scdan4]

Just nick it (assuming it’s there in darkness). And the replacement. Pisses them off no end.

 

Commuting sucks balls, thanks for reminding me I don’t do that no more

Not sure I have much to grump about. Because my main personality trait is grumpy, the fact that I  gave no excuse to be grumpy is making me......grumpy.

[paulplom]

Partner parked down the road a bit
There was one of our sociable neighbours out saying the wheelie bin woman had gone off on one shouting and screaming earlier in the day. Another neighbour 5 doors behind the photo (the kid who rattle canned hos corsa) was shouting at my partner (Kirsty) to come and park up here pet. I won't shout about you.
Fucking hell man, it's tragic.

I think I'm turning into a right grumpy fecker as well. Must be an age thing mate.

Paul, i note not one tree or shrub in the picture of your neighbourhood. 

This is my measure on how nice or nasty a place might be.  You need to get planting. 

[Parky]

Can we make a miniature clamp and put that on the bin, together with a realistic looking PCN which when opened contains a note saying “we all think you’re a twat”?

[paulplom]

Veiw from my front door. We live in a big cul de sac with a massive green outside and lots of big trees at the bottom. She's no fucking excuse really.

Dump a cat in it.  The UK’s press will descend upon her house to photograph her bin and very probably park outside her house while doing so.  Obviously rescue the cat after!

I had wheely bin wars with a neighbour when they nicked my nice clean one and swapped it for their one with a fucked wheel.  I ended up just putting my rubbish in their bin and nicking it back when they went on holiday

It’s cruel really.  She might be having some sort of nervous breakdown and need some help.  Or she might not.
