mickety 1 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 People who can afford two gallons of unleaded... How come theyve had a full days cricket at Old Trafford and you are a stones throw from there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 People who start bonfires with two gallons of unleaded. I was on a course last year, where they showed a video 2 men lighting a bonfire with petrol. Pretty impressive display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Automated phones, especially British Gas. You have to dial an 0845 number and then enter 2 different numbers, your account number, inside leg measurement and post code before you can even talk to a human being.

Beefsteak 305 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just been to the DHSS (Again) and I am told I need to phone a certain other office elsewhere in the world, so I go to use their phone in it's little booth on the wall ,only to be told that they are only for people ringing after jobs now. " How do I contact ********* please ? " says I , to get the reply something along the lines of you have to use your own phone at home. " I don't have one",(I do really but f*ck em) . "Well can you use a friends "was the responce. Now forgive for sounding tight fisted but the cheeky B45t4rds have already cut any payments I received down to zero, and all their phone numbers have gone from normal telephone numbers ie ordinary area code, then the number , which on my broadband tariff are free, to 0845 numbers that are charged at national call rate, so I have to pay for the bloody things now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My reason for needing to ring someone ???? I get aletter telling me that SWMBO must go in for a meeting to advise her on how to get back working full time (Which if they bothered to check they would see that she is working full time anyway.) They insist the meeting is on Tuesday at 3.00pm (IE when Charlotte leaves school) I tell them we can't go then, and yet again they threaten to stop my benefits (What benefits???) I also tell them that SWMBO is working that day and would they compensate her for her lost time from work?? "Of course not" (as she is not claiming any benefits) So if she isn't claiming benefits how can you demand to see her? "I don't make the rules I just have to apply them sir" is the sarcastic reply. " Well come and fetch me and the wife on Monday, as I can't afford to travel there now and as I am disabled I cannot walk that far" I then get accused of being threatening and she tells me she is going to hang up , I beat her to it. We shall wait to see what happens on Monday!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a good site to help shortcut some of those automated call services . . . Say No to 0870! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 If you get unwanted calls, Double glazing sales etc, use the telephone preference service (TPS) you can do it on line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 You go into a shop and have to pay with a ten pound note or a twenty pound note for a small value item (like a pint of HP) When they give you the change, they always put the note in your hand first then cover it with the coins???? How the 'eck are you supposed to put the coins in your pocket then get your wallet out to put the note away???? It's the same in the garage when you pay for the fuel - they insist on holding your credit/debit card until the paperwork has been printed then give it back to you in one big bundle!!!!! Why can't they give you the card so that you can put it in your wallet while the receipt is printing??? Obviously, I've had a bad day dealing with ar*ehole* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Or even when they look at your note to check its real and then give you a funny look when you do it to the change they give you back. I do it at the local Macdonalds on purpose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickety 1 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Or when your item comes to 99p and some shops say...do you want the 1p?...yes!! would you sell it me for 98p?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Next time they hold your banknotes up in the air, do the same with the goods you have just purchased and see how they like it. !laughing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
