Apparently I’m “the Jack of all trades but master of non” my in-laws do enjoy their petty torment’s In other words, they've had someone out who couldn't fault it but their ego prevents them from actually telling you that you did a fine job after all. goosey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebullet Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I am on a scum newspaper* caravan holiday***. It's not going well. With the unexpected sad demise of Aup yesterday I got no work done, so had to do it today before I set off. Idiot sister then demands help in dragging around a sheet of ply she's got from wickes for the horse box shite. Amazingly the 5 billion voids appear to be in a bit I can chop off. Ma's phone has decided to not allow calls to / from mobiles. ta Asda. Woman at check in has taken great delight in saying you've not paid for passes, so no entertainment for you. Oh no, how will I survive without karaoke, warm carling and other people's bastards running around screaming? In the rush I've done gr11 in remembering things. I have a loaf of bread. No butter, or sarnie filling of any description. We have half a bog roll for 5 days. Bit bizarre this. 3 rows away there's a caravan full of women in full dalek dress. Eyes staring out of narrow slits outfits. It's 11:30pm, and they've decided it would be a great time to start playing the bongos. (drum kind, not a euphemism) Is it an Islamic hen do? WTF is going on? There's a huge random cycle race tomorrow which means a 50mile chunk of the coast is no go until peloton de twats has fucked off. And RELAX.

Zelandeth Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Someone has just started setting off sodding fireworks right out the back of our place. Not little ones either, proper window rattlers. When I say "just" I mean "started about half an hour ago and are still doing it." Not amused.

cobblers Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 75% of the parcels we get sent to us via Evri end up with a "We weren't able to locate your address". One old boy does a bit of driving for them one or two days a week and he's great, but the rest of the time our route seems to get the worst of their "talent pool" It's a business premises, with a massive fucking great sign on the front of the building. About 15-25 other couriers and customers manage to find us every day. But these useless shower of bastards just don't even bother looking. The postcode is newish so you have to drive about 25 meters past where old maps say the turning is to get to us. I actively avoid buying anything from any company that specifies they use Evri, but I forgot about Autodoc.. Evri (or some agent of theirs) actually cold called us a few weeks ago to try and get our business, and the woman actually had a pretty good sense of humour when I said that what we want from a courier company is literally the exact opposite of what they are, and that I would rather boot the parcels around the carpark myself and then throw them over some random fence than pay them £4 a shot to do it for me.

Zelandeth Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Why the hell have Amazon suddenly decided that 2200 is a reasonable time to deliver a package? Feel bloody sorry for the poor sods stuck doing runs at that time of the night. Especially in dodgy areas. It's a bad enough job at the best of times.

Yes, they keep pestering me to switch to a business account, but whenever I’ve had stuff sent to work it takes an extra three or four days as they try and schedule for 8pm or later. cobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 10pm has been mentioned on my delivery information for at least a year now. I imagine some drivers do it after the kids have got home from school so it suits them. Ours just leave it in the porch, we leave the outer door unlocked if we're expecting a delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
