Time to speed off and hope we never see each other ever again.

Bought a new single mattress on the never-never from Very. It arrived rolled up and vacuum sealed in something about the size of a 3 foot tall shoe box.

It was rated as medium firm but I would rate it as closer to completely flaccid.

So it's going back, if I ever get it back in the box. Mattresses are now on my long list of things I will never buy online.

It's really not that hard to get it ready before you approach the barrier

Looks like I'll be doing the 2 yearly cancellation dance again tomorrow.

The search feature on the sky q box is so fucking awful, a thing that you scroll down, in one colum organised alphabeticaly, its like they deliberately tried to come up with the worst possible search UI for some reason

Only found out when I went to get it. Sickening.

Just because it's not a part of the main highway, doesn't mean the rules no longer apply! Give way for God's sake!

I want full-size twiglets, not crappy little ones.

Drivers are looking at their phones and will do anything to get ahead of the traffic.

I recently nearly got taken out at a zebra crossing because one car stopped and the car behind wasn’t paying attention. They swerved to avoid colliding with the stopped car and mounted the pavement.

Ticketmaster, on behalf of its clients, strives to make it as easy as possible to purchase accessible seating ticket

Change 'Ticket Quantity' to 1 Ambulant ticket

There is no option to do so you bellends.

So much for "as easy as possible".

I’m in the ‘they are a bit grim’ camp, and my old boss is benefitting every day as I take them into work for him... I think whoever has built the advent calendars is a bit of a sadist

I suppose they’ve got to pay for that Postmaster compo somehow…..

But when did they do that? What brainiac made that decision?

£13.20 for 8 stamps… won’t be sending any Xmas cards this year then. Or ever again.

Trying to cancel a credit account. Says email/or via chat bot. Tried email and it was ignored. Tried chat bot and tells me to phone. Phone up and it's so far spend 15 mins telling me most enquiries can be dealt with by chat bot or an email.

My accounts not been used in months, so no outstanding balance.

Dude you're making it more likely you'll get hit after dazzling some driver.

Seriously, these days you can't order without giving your number, but it just means you get the same notifications through many platforms. I guess it's so they can be sure you've seen it, but it doesn't help when your driver was clearly the last pick in the game of knock down ginger.

So what will it be this year; Ordering online where you've got no idea when things will turn up, even if the seller gives you an "estimated" delivery date, or an overcrowded shopping centre where everyone is so full of the Christmas spirit they'd happily barge you out of the way, or mow you down with a push-chair, to buy some overpriced perfume.

Bah, humbug!

How can you have a half pint for over an hour and STILL not be finished with it?

How long until it's acceptable to just lock up, go home and leave them stranded in the garden?

Send help.

I won but considering how much it cost I feel the victory was somewhat pyrrhic.

Hi

Last year i bought some lights thinking they were normal Christmas lights, forgot about them for a few weeks and didn't get to use them. Then when i came to put them up i realised they were for a twinkle line tree which is on a kind of maybe stand. They attach with a ring attached to the lights at the top of the pole and then are hooked into the ground at the bottom. Not sure why they didn't come with a pole but i can't seem to find a 'maypole' type stand for them, unless it's called something completely different (although have seen them called this)

They're Laura Ashley lights and they don't seem to do it anymore so can't ask them. Any ideas? Link to the type of stand i'm after.

My wife gets a LOT of shit delivered via Evri and the usual driver just leaves it on the well lit porch sheltered from the elements.

No, not this one who didn't even bother to ring the doorbell but came round the back of the house and dumped it in a dark exposed corner near the back door.

Mrs only realised when she looked at the proof of delivery photo.

Whst goes through these people's heads? They actively made extra work for everyone.

Basically the title. Sainsburys haven't had proper hard lids on their small 500g pots of yogurt for some time now, just the plastic film. This means you have no way to cover the yogurt after opening it, and they frequently get busted In your bag. They've also stopped handing out paper copies of the receipt with the shopping. Bags I understand, that was a waste of plastic. But give me a fucking receipt so I actually have a list of what's arrived and don't have to call up asking.

Done even get me started on the mince meat.

On my way to work, when a lorry driver decides to merge into me from behind potentially writing my car off.

It was a mint Ford Fiesta ST3 with basically no mileage. So I'll be out of pocket probably.

To make matters worse, the guy didn't speak any English whatsoever. My insurance said they couldn't even give me a courtesy car, until my car goes in for repairs.

So I'm currently in contact with an accident repair centre. All while working 55+ hours a week.

Fml.

Also my washing machine broke down :(

Listen, you’ll have loads of time to run when your WFH job is outsourced to India. Mostly running to the Jobcentre or… running to the food bank.

Also, stop using The Coral and get your own damn music

Edit: some people seem to think im anti WFH. Thats not the case. Really im just annoyed at 1. How dogshit Indeed is as a website, 2. That stupid posh lady who likes running and 3. Ruining good music in the process, couldnt you have used proper coworker music like Coldplay instead?
