The grumpy thread

"1 elderly owner from new" - usually a good thing, right?

Wrong

Older gentleman today brought his beemer in for its MOT. He said he's had it from new, 63 plate off the top of my head, he defo said 7 or 8 years, could we please carry out its first (!) oil change

Was an N47 time bomb. God help his timing chain...

He said "it's absolutely perfect and there's nothing wrong with it. I don't need a service, just an oil change please"

Yes it's only done about 20k miles, but that's even worse really. 

Moral of the story, if it's a 1 owner from new but the paperwork was "lost", don't believe it!!

He was trying to do us all a favour, this way we get the extra bank holiday when the weather is good. Fair play to him.

Bin day today, hear the truck, go out to collect my bin and it's gone! There's a fucked looking one with no number left instead. Half an hour of searching and pretending to be Hercule Potroast before I remembered I've got the dashcam in the car turned on in parking mode.

Drumroll.... my bin was stolen by cunt next door. Grabbed it back and may have moved theirs 200 yards down the street.

Our old neighbours did that to us, I was away for a bit and came back 2 days after bin day and our bin was gone. Looked over the fence and saw it on their yard, next to their own bin. Clearly had our house number on it etc.

I went round and found it full of rubbish. Red mist came over me and I went round, tipped the bags of rubbish out of it and kicked them open all over their lawn then hammered on their door as I walked off with my bin.

Not proud, it was a stupid thing to do as there's nothing to be gained by arguing with idiots. I got lucky and it put them in their place rather than escalating anything

[High Jetter]

Bin rage. Fair play.

[GMcD]

All our neighbours have fancy stickers on their bins with numbers....I used an old can of spray paint.

When I moved in (new estate) the council kept on delivering sets of wheelie bins to my house . I'd come home after work to find another 4 bins outside my front door. I had 16 bins at one point 🤣. I gave most of them away but I kept an extra set. They are very handy in the shed for storing crap! 

[High Jetter]

Bin lading? Wheely good.

Random shite- the bin has a Decibel rating when being emptied stamped on them

Our bins aren't noisy, I'll have you know!

So after having a go at me on Facebook for no reason at all a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, a real-world acquaintance of mine unfriended and blocked me, saying "Sorry mate, I don't know what it is about you but you just rub me up the wrong way. Haven't liked you since the second I met you, so best we part ways. Again, it's nothing in particular, it's just how it is."

It's lucky I don't have an ego to bruise anymore, otherwise that would have hurt! Awkward thing is, he's the fiancé of another friend I've known for 15 years. That's going to be an awkward wedding invite...

The great Scottish summer.

You'd think it was middle of autumn tonight. 

Rain and the wind is bloody howling 😐

I mean he could have probably just unfriended you and you wouldn't have noticed for weeks.... but oh no, he just had to make a point of it. 

Buy him build-a-bear vouchers or something equally shite for his wedding gift!

That's what gets me... not everyone gets on, it's a fact of life. Sometimes you do take an immediate and irrational dislike to a person. That's human, done it myself before. No need to be a dickhead about it though. 

They're getting a fucking fondue set now.

We're the same. I used to use them as a workspace for when spray painting small items. When the bastarding things blow away I know the bins are ours from the gold over-spray.

Wales was the same yesterday. (Or at least my bit) I was out driving at 7.30 PM and had the lights and wipers on.

Probably without Westwood. 

[jakebullet]

I went out for firewood and came back to dog eggs in my space and dogs roaming around. Twat further down back to his old tricks of walkies is open the door and kick the shit machines out. Shovelled it up and threw in his yard, and stuck a dog fouling report into the council, so that will be another one who hates me for his own behaviour.

If I just stop posting on here and totally disappear, it will be because I have finally flipped "falling down" style at the wankers on motorbikes who sit at the lights near my house and just rev the fuckers up continually. I hope they cut a corner too tight and get partially decapitated by some equipment hanging off the back of a tractor.

I'm going to make a wild guess that is actually your neighbour.  I'd be getting an air compressor running and a grinder at the same time at around 9AM on a Sunday if they lived next door...

I would also suggest taking up the drums and getting into Death Metal.  You unleash the fury and piss off your neighbour at the same time.  And best of all you can't hear him over the racket.

I'm sat waiting to have my second hair cut of the day. I was in a rush and took a gamble on the apprentice at the first barbers and ended up with a cut 25 years younger than I am 

[myglaren]

My next door neighbour is out in his garden with an angle grinder most days from 9 a.m. for a couple or three hours.  God knows what he is building, he has been at it since Christmas.

No-one has complained, the noise isn't excessive and folks have to do stuff.  As long as it is done at reasonable hours there is nothing to get upset about.
