Stuff that makes you disproportionately cross

Signs that apply human feelings to inanimate objects like the one in Sainsbury’s this morning: “Sorry, I’m feeling poorly so having a rest just now”.  **** off it’s a checkout, it doesn’t feel anything!! Grrrrrrrr

Trains always go up to London.

Yeah, I’ll expand this to “creeping infantilization of everyday life”

Stickers on stuff that you need an angle grinder or 48 hours of your life to remove fully.

The other half giving me a kiss when she’s just sprayed all sorts of floral stinky stupid lady potion all over her face and it ruins the taste of my coffee.

Bleurggggghhhhh!

Mmm, ladypotion.

Dear Facebook,

Two things:

anything that compares children to pets

I love animals.  I love pets, I particularly love cats, we have three of them.

I despise the saccharine-sweet baby-replacement bullshit that some people insist on hanging onto their pets. It seems to be a particular affliction of Americans but far from exclusively so.

“Fido doesn’t look impressed with his Halloween costume!”  Of course he doesn’t, he’s a ****ing dog not a Barbie doll.  “Tiddles crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday.”  I’m sincerely sorry for your loss but, rainbow bridge, what are you, 12?  “My fur baby is sleepy today!”  You badly need to get laid.

Caps on plastic bottles that no longer come completely off, rather fold to one side.

I appreciate it’s to encourage the caps to be recycled, but why would folk only recycle the bottle and not the cap?  Savages.

Neither works on the app though, and who uses Facebook on a browser any more?

“You badly need to get laid”

This seems rich coming from someone who seems to be disproportionately cross a disproportional amount of the day.

See, I like this.  Not for green reasons but so that you can’t drop it and watch it skitter away under the fridge.  It’s a godsend on 500ml bottles when you’re in the car.  And if it really bothers you you can still rip it off.  Loose caps are going to go the way of ringpulls unless they’ve patented it.

Me?  I hate poking at a phone screen, I’ll use a computer wherever possible.

Not really, I badly need to get laid also.

Umbrellas apparently!

What umbrella?

I appreciate it’s to encourage the caps to be recycled, but why would folk only recycle the bottle and not the cap?  Savages.

Here in Greater Manchester you’re not allowed to put the cap in the recycling, it has to be removed and put in the black bin. If it’s attached, it’s allowed in recycling.

Their reasoning is that the loose caps get mixed up with the glass and cause a problem.

Loose caps are going to go the way of ringpulls unless they’ve patented it.

It’s not patented (maybe specific designs?), I think it’s an EU law/directive/whatever. And what’s this about ringpulls? Have they gone somewhere?

When you have a week off work and its rain rain rain. F*****g rain. Still waiting for some summer weather. **** off rain.

And what’s this about ringpulls? Have they gone somewhere?

Your age is showing.

When I was a kid, ringpulls came completely away from cans.  We used to make low-grade projectile weaponry out of them.

Not really, I badly need to get laid also.

I’d settle for being laid badly

I put my friking bin out last night ….and it’s still there.. the reycling bins got taken, but they are weekly rather than fortnightly, and a different outfit/subcontractor…

Caps on plastic bottles that no longer come completely off, rather fold to one side.

Now I’m very much with you there, they’re just in the f’ing way.

Even more so the ones on cartons of juice. Firstly, they get in the way of pouring, resulting in the juice missing the glass and disgorging itself all over the workto instead. Gah. And secondly, can’t really be recycled with the carton anyway cos that’s mostly not plastic. So, just whats the point?

FFS, I give up

I’ll add “the fact that it’s so difficult to do things on this forum that we’ve been doing on forums since the late 90s, like linking to images” to the list

Savages who make cheese scones with the same dough as the currant scones. So they are sweet and cheesy, not savoury, prefer with a dab of mustard powder and Parmesan through them.

Oh well, at least it’s the right way around 😉

That is pretty messed up to be fair…like a rubbish version of cheese on toast.

Apple. Specifically their over friendly/entirely useless customer service chat/phone bods. Firstly “hello I’m Julia”/finish the chat/get the feedback email for an entirely different name from – I’m guessing – India. I don’t care where you’re from, just do the thing I asked you to do. I know it’s not the fault of the customer services rep, but…

Secondly the script “Yes I buy apple products as well, so think of me as a customer sharing your frustrations”. Every. Bloody. Time. Followed by “how is the weather with you”. Who writes these scripts? Are we honestly expected to believe them? Again not the CS ops issue but just downright annoying (or maybe I am just disproportionately cross)

Thirdly – how hard is it to change one line in an address? My mistake on post code picker I didn’t check shipping address for phone and they missed the house name. DHL tried to deliver it but couldn’t. Then the process of trying to get it updated started. DHL won’t let you do it as ‘it’s a high value item and Apple need to update their systems”. They tell you this THREE days after failing to deliver it.

I’ve had 4 chats and one phone call with Apple CS – at the end of which they assured me the address has been changed. It’s one extra line. Two words. How hard can it be? Clearly quite hard as it’s not been changed at all.

I’m three hours into trying to fix it and nothing works. Some kind of process gap where Apple reckon they’ve changed it (and spoken to DHL, hmmm) and DHL resolutely denying it in one line emails that might as well just be a finger emoji.

So I cancelled the order. Well I’ve tried too. Apparently “it may not work as the unit has shipped”. Not to me it hasn’t. Nor will it ever get here due to the deadly embrace between apple and DHLs systems. I mean I’ve paid for it to sit in a warehouse in Bristol.

I really like Apple stuff. Had lots of phones/laptops/imacs etc. But I’m not having another one. Keep my old phone for another couple of years by which time i might have calmed down enough to forgive their atrocious CS. I mean they are so nice, but so useless.

I appreciate this rant is nothing more than ‘old man shouting at clouds’ BUT subsequent to me attempting to cancel the order, Apple sent me an email explaining the address had been updated, and I should express my gratitude because they expect my phone to be delivered to an actual house (maybe ours, maybe not) in the next 24-48 hours followed ONE MINUTE later by this exemplar of customer service by our friends at DHL:

“apologies the goods seems to have been returned to the senders as we wasnt provided with the full address please contact the senders. thanks” – I’m not sure what appalls me more, the terrible grammar or the fact that these organisations are at best loosely connected by two sets of employees united only in their mission to sow confusion and frustration for their paying customers.

I assume the updates between their two systems are expedited by a pidgin fired from a howitzer on the west coast of the USA on an approximate compass bearing to the UK south west.

Will I get a refund? Will some other package be delivered (dead pidgin maybe?), Will at any point someone/anyone explain why two apparently successful companies with very high transactional processes and clear exception reporting cannot add two words to an address over the period of seven days. I feel the answer to all this questions is no.

I’m not angry….etc….etc… too early for a beer?

That would explain the poor English.

I say Pidgina, you saw Pigeona, let’s call the whole thing off 🙂

And thanks, that made me laugh. Especially after I double checked my spelling of appalled 🙂
