The grumpy thread

[Wilko220]

That's really bad then - I was assuming you we're talking about the usual Gumtree types, rather than supposed enthusiasts.

Hope you have more luck soon.

[Negative Creep]

The person who was going to view the Merc today never showed up. What a surprise.

 

 

 

So that's another perfectly good car I can't even give away. Does anyone know some nice offshore PPI or accident management companies who may be interested in certian mobile numbers?

[KruJoe]

It was sad when Yewtree announced they were after Rolf, now they're having a feel of Paul Gambaccini's collar.

The IT system I test for my job is not going very well, and my mention of just hammering a larger system over the top at our big weekly meeting just now was met with blank faces.

 

FUCK EVERY1

"Hello, is that Dominoes"? 78 12" meat feasts delivered to the bastard who didn't show up to view my Merc /AX [delete where applicable], if you'd be so kind

Hilariously, had he not argued and argued and argued over everything like the prize winning 'negotiator' he thought he was, I would have let the car go. Hard to take a phone chipper seriously when they haven't even seen the car in question. TIME WASTER.

 

Never mind. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victoire.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

A golden rule of shite dealing that one – ‘sorry, I’m not really up for discussing the price with folk who have not viewed it, come and have a look and we’ll talk however’ normally sends toss-pots scattering but rarely deters a serious punter I find.

Not really fair on the people who have to make and deliver them though

Ignorant peasants. They know nothing.

[vulgalour]

Maybe it was because what you're actually supposed to do is hammer a slightly smaller system over the top.  Clearly* they thought you were some sort of eBay Mongoloid for getting that basic principle wrong.

[Cavcraft]

Yep, all that. I just say that I won't take people seriously unless they're stood in front of me with cash n their hand. I also try and put 'please don't embarrass yourself by asking what my best/bottom/lowest price is.' That gets rid of probably 98% of losers, and gives me free reign to be as cocky as I see fit if they do ask.

Just printed 210 pages of an incorrect PDF file. Lol.

No, a pdf file, its an electronic document.

It was stolen anyway. </badass>

I think we need to create a thread for phone numbers and other contact details of complete wanker carbuying timewasters that seem to be so common nowadays. Hopefully some sort of  number trawling software on the net will find them and add them to database used by scammers or something.

 

One cockpiece even had me meet him at the local station. I waited an hour before realising I;d been stood up. I'd love to get my own back on that fucker.

Been there/done that in the pissing rain with a (then) young daughter. ebay knobheads are relatively easy to get back at if you're patient and cunning.

Doing someone's work who's been sick for 8 weeks (he found out his girlfriend was a he or some such cobblers) so took a funny turn.

 

Still expected to do my own work at the same time while 90% of the department does as little as possible and act dumb if asked to learn anything new.

 

At a push they'll take all your easy stuff and leave you a pallet of shit to sort through, yeah thanks for that.

 

 

Was told today while filling in again that I could do some overtime to "catch up"... Team Leader or not I told him to "xxxx off".

Ah dammit! I bet if I had said smaller system they would have promoted me to MD status and let me park the XM in the directors car park.

 

Might do that actually, every year for some charity bullshit they auction off a few spaces for a week, they normally go cheap. Thing is, would I shine up the XM and out-cool the directors maserati quattroporte or do donuts in a field on sunday and then park in their car park?

I insist people coming on the train (unless I know them!) text/call when they're a couple of stations away for that very reason. I'm not driving 12 miles to the station unless there's definitely someone waiting!

Buyer supposed to be picking up estima this afternoon.went to clear my stuff out and check it starts.

Totally flat battery,cue improvised charging system using long extension and some odds and ends

Missed the Meadow Farm meet last night. Didn't have anything suitable to go but I've wanted to go up to Sheffield again for ages. Ate some festive bonfire night meats instead.

 

VA - who's this troll on Retro Rides who keeps spamming the thread claiming people are doing drugs?

 

[castros_bro]

AX oilmaster rear brakes a bit duff (7%) and all the reverse and yank on parking brake self adjusting technique didn't improve it. Took off the drums and find a heroic repair to the brake shoes............all little bits are missing and remaining arm have been splodge welded to the shoe.
