I've now taken to making a random noise or some other gobbledygook just to get their attention, and then I can say the original thing just the once. What a fantastic tip, I'm forever repeating myself because my wife's hearing is shit. I'll give this a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted April 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2022 Tripadvisor. You idly look at a few places and then get hourly emails saying ”don’t forget to book your hotel in Turkmenistan” ”are you still thinking about going to Nicaragua?” ”more suggestions for your holiday in Mordor” I’m sure there’s probably a setting somewhere to turn it off but I’ve no idea where it is.

Genie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 There’s a guy on our neighbourhood fb group that keeps listing things for sale and then adding “pm me for the price”. It’s almost as bad as people who list things with “make me an offer”. You obviously have a figure in mind, just stick it on the ad nobhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed quite a few football managers/assistant managers saying it in recent years: John Terry and Steven Gerrard, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The fact that white shower scrunchies always have a white hangy-string. Takes me bastard ages to find it when soapy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted April 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2022 Dance music. After my moan about Capital Radio the other week I was subjected to their dance music station last night at work. I got to six and a half hours before I had to change the station and this guy confronted me about it. I felt like stabbing him in the throat. I don't get how the people write the first 4 bars of the track and think, this is great I'm just going to mindlessly loop it for 4 more minutes. Just writing this makes me shake with rage. I've never known such hatred within me for something before. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parked in a car park earlier - was fairly empty so parked in a space with no cars around me. Evenly between the lines as usual. Got back to my car two hours later and a car either side, both no more than a few inches from my car. They were on the white lines. Absolute words removed. Both women drivers (happy to share my workings out on that if requested). It's the lack of consideration that **** me off more. If I park next to another car I always have a quick look to see if there is room for the driver of the other car to get in. These oxygen thieves don't even think twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love going clubbing back in the golden days in Brum - Godskitchen, Sundissential, etc. However its not the sort of music I can just listen to in the car or in the background. It needs to very loud so the walls shake and you've got to be off your tits to truly enjoy it. IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 On 20/04/2022 at 16:25, Genie said: I just had a call from Virgin Media, woman was trying to tell me that to save myself from the GOVERNMENT price increase of around £10 a month I needed to renew my contract at a higher price. To avoid this £10 charge taking my bill from £44 to £54 I needed to upgrade my BB to 500mb at a new total of £60 a month. So much wrong with that call, I gave her a bollocking about using lies to sell then she hung up I verified with Virgin this was a real call from them yesterday, then said I should have make a complaint and it will get investigated (so I did). Just now I had a call, same number, same script… “we want to protect you from government price increases happening this month…” I said that’s a lie, Theres no government price increases and she immediately hung up. What a scummy way to try and cold call for sales. It’ll be interesting now if they say it’s a rogue caller as 2 have called now saying the exact same lies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
