Couriers
Interlink Express couldn't organise a  up in a brewery!  Parcel was supposed to be delivered on Friday, but didn't because they were "Unable to locate". More like driver couldn't be bothered on a Friday afternoon when it was so hot and sunny.
They arranged for re-delivery this morning, and lo and behold, it didn't arrive. Gone onto the tracker and apparently it's been delivered, and signed for by someone I've never heard of. So basically, they haven't delivered it here. I've now got to tell a customer that his truck is off the road until I can get the parts, and I haven't got a clue when that'll be. I hate couriers (on the whole). An engine to TDi for!

I went with the other half to a local garden centre to buy a new base for our old mill stone water feature and plants this morning.
Found a suitable base for the water feature, plants for the garden and a pump, still needed hose to connect to pump to the mill stone. We had a look round but could not find any, wife goes off on her own, you know what it's like she'll find it on her own even though we have looked together and cannot find it, me I'm standing with a trolley load and a young male assistant in the centre Polo shirt comes walking towards me. "Do you sell the hose that will connect to this pump?" "I don't know" was the reply and he walks off, not I'll find someone who may know or lets have a look, no just walks off. By the time the wife has come back I have ditched the trolley in full sun out of the way and we leave. Now we are home I have had nothing ear ache and "Its all your fault we didn't get some plants" MY fault, what did I do wrong?  Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

You are of the male gender, that is what you did wrong

BMX Bunny Hopping Pillock
going fast down a hill on the pavement bunny hopped in front of a car turning left into a side road, tried to hop again on to the pavement and got it all wrong and spilled himself and bike into the road in front of me. Thankfully I had already backed off anticipating a problem, thank god I did because I stopped easily but the car coming the opposite direction nearly ran over the bike and had one hell of a shock. I just hope it scared the sh!t out of the brainless numpty. BM52 |

f'in postmen.
the jerk that comes round almost goes out of his way to walk over as much grass and gravel beds as practically possible !!
I was a paper boy as a kid and wouldn't dream of walking over lawns etc. I wondering whats the best way to stop this - are there guidelines they should adhere to.  I wondering what sort of risks assesment is in place for not sticking to walk ways....especially when the home owner has an OFF road vehicle  .......I can visualise an accident coming on. |

Stick an electric fence around it. (With warning signs of course) if he gets a crack off it simply say "You should have looked at the sign"

Plan A first do what LRA mentions. Failing that & he ignores you plan B put it up! And yes legal as far as I am aware provided you use warning signs** Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

when I eventually catch him I will.
I don't hold out much hope tho as he didn't bother when neighbour asked him not to walk over his newly seeded garden. |
