Minor Rant Thread part 3

Derby City Council who - if you park at 3 minutes to six until 7 - charge you for an hour for the 3 minutes, and then the evening charge for the other hour - thus paying double what you would have done just for 0-2 hours in the day. And all for an hour and 3 minutes parking!

And they wonder why nobody comes to the city?

We'll stick to Nottingham in future, thanks! No stupid tricks there and we know all the free parking places.

Mothers who only have negative things to say when you get the allotment you want

[Florence Fennel]

Barmpots like me who take annual leave for a rest and then have a house cleaning frenzy!

[RichmondHens]

Mothers .......... who you ring up and leave a message for, several times, they don't return the calls, then eventually call you saying "I haven't heard from you for AGES" in an accusatory tone, then when you explain you left several messages, they say, "oh well we don't listen to the ansaphone very often"! Aaargh!

[OverWyreGrower]

SIL's who, rather than asking outright if you will babysit for them, try and drop giant hints through FB and text message that your nephew is missing you and keeps talking about you...

If you want us to babysit - ask us outright...

Mind you, at the moment, the answer would be no....

Car insurers!!!!!!

Insured car in my own name this time with no NCD. Had been a named second driver on OH's insurance so was offered a reduction because of this.
Sent copy of Certificate of Insurance which shows me named as a co-driver.
Got email this morning to say they are going to take £168 extra out of my card account because proof wasn't adequate...........what the carp more do they want.......BLOOD!!!

I have emailed the copy to them again and threatened legal action saying they have no right to dip into my account and I most definately DO NOT give them rights of access to my bank account!!!!

(Citizens advice here I come!)

As far as I am concerned car insurers are the biggest bunch of extortionate blaggards I have ever come across!

Me. I'm so sh*t Sat here at the PC all afternoon, done nowt useful - like starting the assignment which is due in on Thurs. WHY do I do this??!!! Apart from the fact that this course is boring me to death of course...

[Florence Fennel]

Couldn't resist comforting you Sarz. I had the cleanest house in my street when an assignment was due, used to do anything to put it off. You're not alone, a lot of people are like that. You'll get good marks, don't worry!

[SarzWix]

Thanks Flo., I know I'll do okay, but with maximum stress... But honestly, if these people had been put in a room with instructions to write THE most boring books they possibly could before they were allowed out, I don't think they could be any worse than they are now In the last 2 weeks, 4 people have dropped out cos they just can't hack it any more
