Holier than thou attitude? Got some examples to back that up chief? No I wasn't planning to steal my elderly neighbours parcel. Fucking hell. Chill out. A written joke doesn’t come with tone and/or inflection that conveys it’s meant to be taken as such like it would if you were speaking it. So yes, what may “obviously” seem like a joke to know, or people who know you better, may not come across as such to others. I say this as someone who can read things literally. So if it were indeed a joke then it clearly didn’t land, and no need to get so uppity and defensive about it, because then the only person who comes across as “having woken up in a bad mood” is you. Fucking hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 How on earth could anyone who has posted here for years think our Rashers (I miss Le Branque) was being serious about stealing a parcel from a neighbour? Jimmy fucking Corkhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scratch Posted March 23 Paid Members Share Posted March 23 (edited) Anything that isn’t about breaking into a computer and is described as a “hack”. Extra annoyance points if it’s conveyed in a video that starts with someone doing something in a very normal way before wagging their finger.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 2 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 2 Working from home today and every two hours I’ve been interrupted by a gigantic wasp buzzing around the living room. 11.15, 1.15 and 3.15. I haven’t got any of the windows open so I don’t know how the fuckers are getting in. I don’t even know if it’s the same bastard each time finding his way back. But I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SuperBacon Posted May 8 Members Share Posted May 8 Got on bus this morning and a chap was sitting back of the bus in the middle seats. Now the two either side of him were empty and my seat of choice is back of bus left side meaning I had to get past him to sit there. Middle urinal rules apply on back of bus for me in that you only sit there if the left back and right back of bus are occupied. A minor annoyance for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 8 Paid Members Share Posted May 8 similar bus complaint from me; my bus to work has been awful this week, as train strikes mean traffic is appalling, the bus is always late, and always packed when it gets there. Luckily there's a stop not long after mine where it usually empties out, and I managed to get a seat. There were three completely empty seats by then, yet at the next stop, someone decides to sit next to me instead of taking one of the empties. Why?!

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 8 Paid Members Share Posted May 8 One thing I noticed when I got the bus the other day was that everybody sat on the left side of the bus, there wasn't one person on the right. Maybe this is why I call it the Socialist Republic of Heaton Moor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamura Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Couriers. Absolute shower of bastards. I was supposed to have a package delivered on Tuesday. I live in a second floor flat, so it generally helps if people who attend the property actually use it. It's even conveniently situated right next to the door where it's next to impossible to miss. But not this courier, that's if they even attended at all. A couple of minutes into the delivery window I receive an email saying they'd attempted to deliver and had no reply. Disgusted with this, I immediately contact the seller (a big retailer) and explain the situation and ask for a refund. They reply saying I can't have a refund as it's out for delivery. Since they can't even understand the meaning of basic words I immediately open a Paypal dispute and get refunded from them. So I decide to buy the item (nothing bulky or expensive that might actualy requires a courier) somewhere else, and their T&C says they use Royal Mail or a courier, so I'm hopeful I might actually get the item. My heart sinks a bit when I receive despatch confirmation and find out it's gone via courier, but it's not the same idiots as before so maybe I might get the item this time. Not a chance. A few minutes into the delivery window I receive an email saying delivery failed as the driver can't find the address. Not a major problem, this does occasionally happen as I live above shops in the town centre and the entrance to the property isn't on the street actually live on. So I email the couriers, giving them clear and precise directions for the driver. I'm sure you can guess what happened the next day? Same again, driver couldn't find the property. Feeling sick of dealing with couriers at this point, I tell them to return the item to the seller. They reply saying fine, we'll send it back. Email the seller explaining all this and asking for them to either send it by Royal Mail or refund me, they reply being very nice and apologetic (and it's not their fault after all) saying they can't send by Royal Mail and are happy to refund me when they get the item back. But not so fast. The courier company in their infinite wisdom decided to try again today. So once again I'm getting up earlier than normal after working a night shift ready for the delivery window, only to check my email inbox and find out not only had the courier supposedly attempted to deliver two hours before the delivery window, but that delivery had allegedly been refused (which it hadn't). At this point a lengthy email was sent to the courier telling them in no uncertain terms not to try delivering again and to return to the sender like they'd already agreed to, they replied saying (and I quote in full) "Driver will be spoken to". If I never have another thing delivered by a courier it will be too soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
