alta-pete Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Schemebob neighbour who, given that her man who usually keeps her in check is away for a couple of days, has the #choons blasting out while her little goblins try and drown each other in their hot tub. Move to a lovely little pocket of quiet and some people just don’t appreciate it. Fucking schemebobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Every single day... My iPhone in the evening: Hey! Just a quick heads-up to let you know that there's an iOS update that's come out. It's a hefty one so I'm going to download and install it for you during the night so it doesn't interrupt you tomorrow going about all your important business and "stuff". How does that sound? Does that work for you? Me: That sounds great, iPhone. Thanks very much. My iPhone the next morning: Yeah, I didn't do that.

Soapy FFC Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 People who use a cover for their phone that also doubles as a wallet with all their credit cards and driving licence etc in. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 On the phone, on hold for 50 minutes so far…hold time, at the beginning was advertised at “more than 10 minutes”…at least the music changes up, but the constant interrupting to ask if you still want to hold is annoying. I’m 50 blooming minutes in on hold and I don’t want to leave a f**king message! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Just got an email about van insurance renewal coming up. Last year's premium £169. This year's 'offer'... £422. Off I popped to the comparison sites for more quotes, and unbelievably that was the cheapest. Wtf has happened in the industry to justify this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Mind when it would make the news when train tickets or something went up 4 or 5 percent and folk were raging. Now your everyday necessary expenses are regularly going up 100-200%. Oh well, at least we're all in this together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claims inflation has gone mental. Insurers financial results over the last year haven’t made good reading, with Direct Line a big headline maker by issuing 2 separate profit warnings, and RSA (More Than) withdrawing from the motor market completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go with blaming @TxRover personally for this. The official inflation figures are a bit of a joke though. 9-10%, when so many everyday costs are up anywhere from 25-200%, is it aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van drivers getting shafted it seems. (Cue rant about keeping Britain moving, backbone of society etc, look out for me on GB News) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
