I wish to rant/complain/grump about the TOTAL PRICK BELL-END who fucked up the M6 today. Yes, you, the prick who was 'racing' his mate, causing some poor bint in a MINI to total her car into the central reservation. Cheers, what I needed on the haul back from HaggisLand was to run over all that debris. And then, AND THEN.... 20 miles down the road I'm slowing down for the M6 toll booth and this mong steams past me and a load of others again. Yeah, OK. So I go for the assisted booth, cos I never know how much you are supposed to pay for a shitty little van, and there's this twattard again, holding everyone up. Turns out he doesn't have any money, and now I'm hemmed in with 8 cars behind me. Nice. So that's the whole time saved using the toll negated while you casually wander about smoking a fag trying to blag it. Oddly this blokes numberplate doesn't come up on DVLA either... Silver Vectra wearing "R1KON". Prat.

I got caught out at a tollbooth in Ireland without the correct change, but a nice lady behind me in an MG ZR gave me 2 euros. Maybe you should have paid this kindness to the Vectra fucknugget. :wink:

Nah, I think he should have just grassed the bastard to the rozzers, esp. if Pog saw the accident/his driving. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and contains no calories.

Don't think so, hey. Normal bloke short of 50p, yeah fine. Moron giving it attitude after the aforementioned accident and then steaming towards the booth at 90 mph, before swaggering about giving attitude, get stuffed. And I was in a foul-arse mood anyway, having spent 10 days getting fucked about by idiotic people and pissed on by constant rain in irvine, and then it taking 7 hours in total to get home, mainly because until I hit english soil it was siling down with even more rain, I was really not feeling charitable

I was probably about 15 cars back from the crash, all I know was this bloke was pushing & shoving his way through the traffic, then it's all stop.

I'd have been quite tempted to throw all the coppers in my ashtray at him.

Were not late minor / 1000's actually 1098cc, ergo, 1100? :?

Don't make me look silly. I never knew that thanks for that nugget!m0rris

To be fair, you're right Ital lover. Later Minors were 1098cc but to avoid confusion with the Morris 1100, they were still referred to as Minor 1000s!

Tesco. Again.Actually, not specifically Tesco but supermarket customers. Its just that I see it in Tesco as I go in there.Woman walks through doors pushing small child in pushchair, goes straight to sandwich chiller, picks up Egg & Cress sandwich, shows it to offspring, unwraps it and wedges it in offsprings face.DO YOU NOT SEE THE SIGN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU SAYING "ALL ITEMS MUST BE PAID FOR BEFORE CONSUMPTION" OR DO YOU THINK IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU?Really? Can junior not wait the 10 minutes she was in there for a high calorie snack?Woman stuck the then empty wrapper in her bag and wandered off. Whether she paid for it or not I don't know - I'll be charitable and assume she did. But even so, just wait til you get outside FFS.

Chuggers. Charity Muggers. F*ck off!!No, I don't want to speak to you. I'm busy. Don't give me the "I need your help" line either. Yes, you need my help to line your pockets. Sod off. If I want to give to charity, I will (and I do). I will not be bullied into handing over my bank details by someone who spends all their money on piercings and silly hair. No, I'll go to a charity shop where I may or may not say "keep the change" when I've bought a load of new music cassettes for 40p.Ross Noble had it right in an excellent part of one of his stand-up shows, which I may try and find on t'internet later.My wife can't understand why I'm so rude to these people but I really, REALLY do not like their attitudes. Ok, so charities make a lot of money this way but if they could make money by mincing kittens, I'm guessing they wouldn't do it. Just because it works doesn't make it right.

Dollywobbler, they always approach with a 'Hello and how are you?' I always reply with a polite 'Fair to middling, how kind of you to ask' and wait just a couple of seconds to see the look on their face before going on my way. Much more satisfying than just telling them to eff off, they're used to abuse and can cope with it :wink:

Posted

I like the "May I ask you a question?" starting point....I tell them they just did, and walk off....................Oh and last night, just sitting down to munch fish fingers and chips (YUM!), there was a knock on the door. The Wife answered it (she knows her place, and doesn't read this forum) and it was a spotty youth offering us gas................Hmm, she says, we already have it, I used it to cook this dinner which we are just about to eat, Goodnight!" and he still asked if she had time to talk. She shut the door in his face, and sat down to eat. The look on his face was a picture! Hope the little oik was hungry.

LOL, don't get me going on the gas/electricity swindle. For reasons too tedious to explain, in about january, our direct debit with the gas board (or whatever) was cancelled. We were actually in credit by several hunnert pound at that point so it didn't matter. This month they decided that we needed to pay them some actual currency. No bother I coughed up the £200 or so for the combined quarterly bill. Then the bloke on the phone started going on about the direct debit, would we like it reinstated. Yeah, OK. So it's going to be less now, says I (as obv we had been overpaying massively). No he says, be about £150 a month. So I asked him if this was company policy, i.e. to take far too much and put it all in a pot in the bank / gamble it at the races whatever. Oh no, just much easier for you says he. Much easier for me if it's earning interest in my bank account, not yours say I. Stuff your direct debit!!

DO YOU NOT SEE THE SIGN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU SAYING "ALL ITEMS MUST BE PAID FOR BEFORE CONSUMPTION" OR DO YOU THINK IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU?

Oh no, she ignored the sign!!I was very thirsty one time in Tesco, so I grabbed a bottle of apple juice, drank it and paid for it later. What's the problem?

Ebay againWhy is it, that when im buying things, some sellers delibrately wait until ive given them good feedback to return the gesture?Surely, given the fact ive paid for it(a few minutes after buying) i should get the feedback right away.And I have had sellers message me saying 'youll get good feedback when you leave me good feedback'What if the items damaged? or not right? Does that mean i get bad feedback because you are a poor seller?

Sellers can no longer leave bad feedback to buyers.Which as a seller is a pain in the arse, as some buyers are at fault.

More that (certainly in Tesco up here anyway) an awful lot of people don't bother to pay for it - you see quite a few empty packets left on shelves.If she had been doing 'a big shop' then fair enough I suppose. But she wasn't, she was outside before I was* Maybe I'm being overly grumpy today. I'm not sure.* I saw her in the carpark, I wasn't stalking her :wink:
Posted

youre right actually, i just remembered that.Yeh i had the old 'threaten to leave bad feedback' from a buyer before, because they had international postage, i honestly didnt know how long it took.needless to say i blocked them.And didnt leave good feedback haha.I cant say ive ever had any problems buying things off ebay, well i did once buy a hoody which smelt like a gym changing room...........

Don't forget that some sellers - and shops in particular - will have automated feedback. With this it automatically leaves feedback for you when you leave it for them. It's a bit backward I know but for a shop selling a lot of items leaving feedback manually is very time consuming so its alot easier to use the automated feedback system ebay have.
Posted

Ah Now i know, cheers guys.But on the subject of automated shops, there was one instance where an item was best offer and (apparently) it would only accept offers 2.5% less than the actual selling price. A bit uselessAnother rant hereWHY DOES FACEBOOK CHAT DISABLE MY KEYBOARD ON OTHER TABS!
