peasy23 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Picked up the new car yesterday. It is great. However, when I collected it, there was no fuel in it. Not a single bar on the gauge. As soon as I turned the key I got a low fuel warning. Having just spent a decent amount of money on the car, you'd think the dealership would stick even a fiver in. But no. Coincidentally there was a petrol station attached to the garage I had just enough petrol to get to. Twice now I have bought cars west of Harthill services, both times ended up with wee annoyances. Never again. Works both ways tbf. My car went back the other week and the instructions were that there only had to be enough fuel left in it to reach the nearest filling station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 My job means I drive multiple vehicles during every shift. Very annoying when you try to change channel on the radio and find the same station stored on multiple preset buttons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The last car i bought from a dealer actually had 'full tank of fuel - £90' as one of the items on the bill when I paid. I had always assumed buying a car from a dealer meant they'd at least fill the fucking tank for you free of charge, seeing as you're giving them thousands of pounds for a piece of overpriced metal and other solid materials that cost them half the price I was paying for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very annoying when you try to change channel on the radio and find the same station stored on multiple preset buttons. When I worked for Stirling Council in the 90s (summer job in the roads department), the vans were always set to Radio 1. Someone was a fan of Mark and Lard and always set the vans to listen to them. If you're too young to know who they were, they were shite DJ's who said "right" every third or fourth word. So when I got the van, at the end of the day I switched and set every station to Radio 3. Takes less than a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My colleague was taking his bairns to school yesterday (first day back for Dundee schools - so was allowed a late start) and when I was on my way to get him I seen a wee laddie walking to school - about 7 or 8 I'd guess - alone. No mates, no parents. Fucking heartbreaking. Spoiler Unless he's a wee dick in that case I hope he stood in white dog poo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I was about 6 when I got fed up waiting for my Mum to collect me so walked home on my own and carried on after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
