End of the day folk should learn to make tight budgets work, only way i managed to do it was by living on fairy cheap food. There were zero handouts, seeing a lot of bitterness on this thread on something factual. which yes, suggests, why bother. Maybe don't have kids when you can't afford them too eh? "Zero handouts" you were literally living with your parents. You never stayed with your parents at all then did you? Pretty sure we've ALL had that "handout" -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone only has a half full trolley, do they get precedence over a full one? I've never understood the seethe over the person who arrives at the till first getting served first It's common courteousy to offer someone to go ahead (though should also be declined) but the idea that it's some sort of obligation is ridiculous. Least of all when you're trying to use your child as some sort of leverage in the situation, as if the rest of the world is responsible for your gubbins childcare arrangements. Back of the fucking queue you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They raise you for 18 years and hope for a bit of peace and quiet and have to put up with some friendless virgin moping about for years after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say like Morrison's too but they don't have an apostrophe so there must be a few Morrison c***s. Maybe one in each shop? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Several months ago a credit card I used for online purchases, interest free period expired, so I paid the outstanding balance of around £130 and closed the account. I then received a letter from MBNA informing me that I owe them 49p in interest and they're looking to reclaim the debt. I phoned to pay them their 49p, but couldn't pass security as I no longer have the card, didn't know the limit and I deleted the app with my login details etc saved. I spent an hour on the phone being passed from one department to another, all of which were trying to get me to re-open my account. After explaining to about 5 or 6 different people that all I wanted to do was pay the 49p, someone eventually decided to write off the 'debt'. It makes me wonder how much time was actually spent on their part trying to recuperate this massive debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Ordering takeaways via online ordering apps - get quoted 60-90 minutes for delivery. Then plan things around it being delivered at that time, having a shower etc. Then the fucker turns up 25 minutes later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
