The grumpy thread

[SambaS]

Always the drivers fault.

 

Some customers take a while to answer the door, some give the wrong address, often I have to wait outside a big dormitory block thing on RAF base and wait for the customer. There is a 20mph speed limit too, I usually have to do at least 30.

 

Everything takes time, it takes 5 minutes to drive from the furthest point on RAF to the nearest estate.

 

I have to park in a car park and run to the visitors reception on my first trip to camp and get photo ID, every day.

 

My boss just doesn't have any fucking idea. I drive to the camp at the vehicles top speed I wonder how I could POSSIBLY do my job any faster.

 

*I've already been warned about speeding on camp by an Officer, and threatened to be banned from camp.

[SambaS]

Should I try not giving a fuck? I was ready to tell him to fire me today, he was asking the impossible again.

 

It's not worth the potential driving ban, are all jobs this stupid?

 

Is anyone having a happy life?

i used to have the same problem when doing the home delivery for tesco... then in the end i thought bollox 2 it, you will get your shopping when i get there, and i will be back at the depot when i get back..... worked out quite well in the end... well took the stress outta the job for me anyways lol

[SambaS]

I may try that.... my supervisor is just as bad too:

 

He took the last order on the phone to an address in Northallerton, when I got back he asked my why so long.

 

I said the address was in Northallerton.

 

He said you SHOULD NOT BE TAKING TEN POUND ORDERS TO NORTHLLERTON!

 

 - - we have another store in Northallerton so I though it was strange.

 

But my issue was. Why the fuck did he take the order and send me then?

 

It has just been a fucking wanky day today, and it was probably 25 degrees outside and I was driving around in the van with the heaters on full so the food didn't get cold!

to piss you off and waste your fuel

[SambaS]

Also I work at the Leeming Bar store 450 feet from my house, yet a few days into my employment he starts asking me to drive to Northallerton so it's costing me £20 a week extra in fuel.

 

And then I started today at 5pm, he rang me up at 4.40 and said I MUST come to Northallerton store, then I got there at 455  and his wife piped up "you are going to be late your meant to start in Leeming bar at 5pm"

 

STUPID - FUCKING - BINT

You should have said "i was thinking the samething, so which idiot took a £10 order for there

and you might want to leave little H&S hints about working in hot conditions.

Auto renewing shit. I wrote to a company asking them not to auto renew something, they never responded and I forgot about it until getting the invoice half an hour ago. They say they're taking the money on Monday - hopefully not Monday at 00:01 because their customer services don't open until office hours. 

 

Logged into their billing site, there's no option to cancel services on there (of course not) but I have changed my card details to gibberish which should hopefully slow them down a bit. 

 

I hate auto renewing stuff, it preys on the weak, forgetful and stupid. Which is unfortunate because I'm weak, forgetful and VERY VERY STUPID.

Get it done in BIG letters incase it ends up looking like "man with a limp"

I cancelled the credit card (and the account it was associated with) last month, I'm 95% sure they don't have any of my valid card details but I'm still going to worry about it until Monday.

Don't take a mate with you and don't get him to wear a mask or it'll be man with a gimp in a jimp

[M'coli]

Make sure your mate in the mask has taken Viagra, or else he may end up being a limp gimp in a...och, I'll just get me coat, alright?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

make sure the jimp that your viagra-fuelled mask-wearing mate is driving, is not carrying a payload of decapod crustaceans or else you'll have a limp gimp in a jimp full of shrimps

[RedSparrow]

Take care to avoid an accident involving a Rootes group vehicle or you will end up a limp gimp in a Jimp full of shrimps in an Imp.

[M'coli]

You could advertise the business using an airborne zeppelin-shaped balloon.

[Des]

Don't put your mate on the game or you'll be the Pimp of a limp gimp in a Jimp full of shrimps in an Imp.

[warren t claim]

Write to HR and tell them their consultation was a steaming shower of shit and a total waste of time?

[warren t claim]

You need to do a Dave Lee Travis by quitting live on air. Maybe follow it up by in appropriately touching up one of your fans.

[MrDuke]

Barricade the door and see how long you can play Heathen Earth by Throbbing Gristle before a SWAT team arrives.

[warren t claim]

Do a traffic report where if you take the first letter of every sentence and put the together it spells out "my boss is a two faced cunt". See also James May autocar yearbook and Fuck you Desmond for inspiration.

[TimothyClaypole]

Being sent to Occupation Health for being off sick. checked with HR, 4 days in 7 months - I am the new "sick note"...

 

Another quality department manager.  This was after she accused me of lying over being sick last Monday because the guy I go to work with was off the same day with a knackered exhaust - it was my turn to drive to work that week so he should have been the one she accused of taking the piss.

[MrDuke]

I R NOT PRESENTER

 

In that case, barricade the door and see how long you can deliver (made-up, if necessary) traffic reports in the foul-mouthed style of Bricktop, complete with references to body disposal, before a SWAT team arrives.

[chaseracer]

Thank fuck for that.  Now to completely avoid the news media for the next three days...

Crying here thanks Autoshite LORL

[Cavcraft]

WOTTERZ: I don't actually know what you do for a living, can I make something up?

[autofive]

if your ashamed of it watanabe you must be in advertising

[Spiny Norman]

I'm not normally one to bitch about keyboard warriors but tonight quite out of the blue, during what I thought was a good natured bit of banter on the Autoshite Facebook page, someone told me that he hoped my mother dies from testicular cancer, which was nice....
