Echo above, as a past rider it disgusts me also. It is about everything that's wrong with the world today - avarice!

I have a migraine (that's my rant), so no option but to.

Every bloody Monday morning I mysteriously gain 2lb just in time for my Weights & Measures - it'll be gone again tomorrow morning. Like always.

Utterly bladdy rude obnoxious people! Why don't you all just stay at home? Just today:

- woman in wheelchair nudged repeatedly into me rather than say "excuse me". When I objected (calmly, nicely), she then actually drove into my back as I paid for my paper
- racist ignoramus who works in my post office. I let someone else take my turn and I went to someone equally surly but less openly racist
- GP's desk staff who repeatedly ignored my request for (vegetarian) tablets instead of (gelatine) capsules. When I went in today and repeated my request, I was told "just ask the pharmacy staff to change it". They wouldn't. They could only dispense what was written on the prescription. Went back to front desk, somewhat miffed but keeping a lid on it. Got a different woman who was actually helpful and got the prescription changed, permanently (even though first woman insisted it couldn't be changed). Honestly, why not just try and be helpful in the first place and save the aggravation? Control freaks.
- They also get my name wrong & can't find my prescription, EVERY time I go in (monthly), but if I write it down they get REALLY snotty with me
- not being able to change my GP because the good ones are full

- HM Revenue & Customs, who excel at being arrogant, snotty, sarcastic unhelpful bar stewards. My OH can't talk to you because he is working abroad. That's why I'm calling you. You won't talk to me? Won't even listen to an explanation? Stuff you then, and stuff your penalty notice

- *2Sheds writes a stroppy sarcastic letter to HMRC that she knows will simply get binned, and her file marked "hassle this one"

oh, and figging selfish idiots who take up two spaces to park their cars: if you want two, pay for two, morons

Other than that...a good day?

Tax Credits people, same reason. They claim I owe £800 simply because Andi didn't tell them his earnings for the year before we split...I tried to tell them but the phonecall has to be from him.....so why is it ME that supposedly owes the money???

New job and now back gone.
So no new job.....

Sorry to hear this, Steve.

[GardenFaery]

Sorry also to hear Steve...some else will work out for you hopefully x


Less of a rant, more of a sigh of relief, after driving into concrete jungle that is City of Nottingham Re work - sadly the words 'bloody 'ell and 'bloody nightmare' slip out of my demure mouth more than once to my fellow drivers LOL - definately have to live in country now lol

[Glutton4...]

Effing automated systems that ring our house phone three times a day, telling me it is urgent, time is running out, have I bought payment protection in the past bla bla bla... Just chuff off and annoy someone else ffs!

[cardiffsteve]

You could always contact telephone preference and have your number removed from the lists.
Takes 2/3 weeks but it works.

[binley100]

Only for a year then you have to do it again .......

Bladdy pootas that take forever to decide to work, bladdy office workers who can't be arrissed to use the carpark that the company provides for them ......they even provide a shuttle bus from the said carpark

[BarleySugar]

Finding out today that on pay day I will only get half the money I'm used too, because employment terminated on Monday and the settlement for leaving won't be through for another month at least. If they are going to pay, why muck me about? They could have paid wages as normal, then deducted the excess from the final figure. OH has spent ages trying to figure out who will cause the least grief if we pay them late (obviously notifying them beforehand).

[Seahorse]

Inconsiderate drivers. My son gets a bus to his special school which means we have to cross a busy road to catch it. At that time in the morning traffic is nose to tail, going about 10 miles an hour. It's not safe to step out into it but nor will it cost anyone any time to pause and wave us across. They would catch up in literally a few seconds. There's no space for them to be over taken. There's an island in the middle so it's not like someone could pause to let us by and we'd be straight into the path of another vehicle.

So why EVERY blinking morning do 15, 20 or more cars cruise slowly past us? Even when it's pouring down. Even when the bus is already parked up on the other side and my son is waving at it. Is it really that hard to be polite and thoughtful?!
